Raegar leaped from the branch, descending like a phantom. The wind howled around him as he plummeted toward the monstrous serpent, his eyes locked onto his target. ''This attack won't kill the beast, but it should slow down at least,'' he muttered.

The fusion of elements triggered an explosion, a roaring detonation of flame and wind that erupted from the wound like a storm breaking free from its cage. The force sent shockwaves through the ravine, splitting stone as the monster shrieked in agony.
