Description
Sir Gareth gripped the hilt of his ancestral blade, Aegiswrath. The wind howled around him, whipping his tattered cloak like a battle flag. Below, the river churned in a frenzy, mirroring the turmoil in his gut. On the horizon, a monstrous silhouette writhed within the storm clouds – the obsidian dragon, Cinderscale. Its reputation whispered on the wind, a litany of burning villages and scorched battlefields.
Gareth adjusted the weight of his dented shield, emblazoned with the sigil of the Griffon Order. Fear, a cold serpent, coiled around his heart, but beneath it, a fierce determination burned. He wouldn't let Cinderscale terrorize the kingdom any longer. He was the last line of defense, a solitary sentinel on this windswept precipice. With a deep breath, Gareth raised Aegiswrath, its polished surface reflecting the last rays of the setting sun – a final prayer etched in steel before the storm of fire broke loose.
