Arrows and javelins fell from the sky like rain of steel. The wizards bombarded the dragon with spells, shaking the battlefield and cracking the crust of the hills as the soldiers rolled forward like a tide of frenzied beasts.
The soldiers and knights surrounded the dragon like a pack of hyenas, both unable to get close due to the heat but still unwilling to move away. In their hands, they carried javelins and threw them with all of their might. Many bounced off the dragon's scales, but very few found the cracks and melted in them.
Sacha was already jumping at the dragon. Unlike all of the soldiers, she can withstand the heat a bit and heal herself. While it was impossible to grant everyone fire-resistant charms and items, the only powerful one they found was now with her.
