The mountain wind whips at Rylan’s cloak, but the moment’s fleeting joy shatters into pure dread. Garrick and the knight sit with their baskets when a deafening roar splits the darkness. The crimson dragon, roused from its age-long slumber, looms over them, its eyes burning with sinister light. They’re alone, far from the village, and the foe they barely defeated has returned for vengeance. Fire already coils in the beast’s throat, while Rylan’s sword and Garrick’s staff are their only shields in this deadly solitude.
