The dragon, burning, stabbed in the tail and in the chest, bleeding and with one eye blinded, towered over the three children. The adults trying to save them knew there wasn't much they could do, setting the dragon on fire was already so much more than the five of them ever thought they could do and that hadn't done anything to stop it from advancing. There wasn't anything else they could do so they braced themselves for the inevitable final attack, knowing they wouldn't be the one delivering it.
As the three young warriors took a step toward the fight, ready to join it, a burning tree fell in front of them, knocked over by the falling dragon. Now they were surrounded by flames that were only growing, their only way out being through the burning forest behind them. With all other options exhausted, they ran straight into the flames.
