Ralph and the gryphon glared at each other until a scream of pain broke their concentration. They both turned to see the dragon-bird, who seemed to be losing the fight. He had a large scratch across his chest, and the dragon was standing over him, laughing. Ralph shot a fireball, hitting the dragon in the back of the head. The dragon turned around, growling. The gryphon, seeing that Ralph was occupied with the dragon, lunged at the dragon, only to be hit by another fireball from Ralph.
"Nope. Not letting you do that." Ralph said.
The dragon suddenly flew up at him, catching him completely off guard. In seconds, he was pinned on the ground.
The dragon laughed. "Take care of the other guy, Mike. I got this one."
"Got it." The gryphon said, walking over to the dragon-bird.
The dragon placed a claw on Ralph's throat. He was about to die if somebody didn't do something.
