The figure drifted closer, the air around it rippling with a static pressure that made my scales ache.
"You will pay for your insolence," the entity rumbled. The sound vibrated in my teeth.
It shifted, and the raw, wounded wings unfurled further, casting a shadow that swallowed the ruins of the intersection below.

The entity didn't dodge. It didn't even raise a hand. It simply existed in the space where my spear was supposed to go.
Clang.
The force of the strike sent a shockwave through the atmosphere, clearing the clouds for miles, but the entity didn't budged an inch.
