Ralph felt the weight of the dragon lift off of him, and the clawed hand was no longer around his throat. He looked up to see the dragon struggling to release himself from a massive stone fist. He flew away from them, towards where the dragon-bird and Mike were fighting. The dragon-bird formed a rock and threw it at Mike, who wasn't quite down yet. He lunged at the dragon-bird, but ended up getting impaled on a stone spear that came out of the ground. This didn't seem to kill him, surprisingly. He was knocked out, though, which was good enough.

The sound of wings flapping caught Ralph's attention, and he turned to the source of it. The dragon had somehow released himself from the golem's grasp, and was now flying at him. He flew in the other direction, trying to get away. He went up above the trees, and when the dragon followed him, he shot a fireball back at him. This slowed him down, allowing Ralph to get a little further ahead, but the dragon was still gaining on him. Seeing the golem and dragon-bird down below, he flew towards them. He missed the golem's head by a few inches, and seconds later, the dragon did the same.
