Chapter 5: Battle For The Firest
The human army advanced through the forest, their armor gleaming in the sunlight and their weapons sharp and ready. At their head was the human commander, a tall man with a cruel smile and a blade that crackled with magical energy. He raised his hand, signaling his troops to halt as they reached the edge of the wolf tribe's territory.
Kali stood at the forefront of her people, her draconic form radiating power. The wolf tribe and the elves stood behind her, their eyes filled with determination. The humans outnumbered them, but Kali knew the forest was on their side.
The commander stepped forward, his voice dripping with arrogance. "This is your last chance, beast. Surrender, or we'll burn this forest to the ground."
Kali's eyes narrowed, her flames flickering to life around her. "You're not welcome here. Leave now, or face the consequences."
The commander laughed, his blade glowing brighter. "You think you can stop us? We've crushed stronger foes than you."
Kali smirked, her tail swishing behind her. "Then you've never faced a dragon."
With a roar, the humans charged, their weapons raised and their battle cries echoing through the forest. Kali raised her hand, signaling her people to hold their ground. As the humans closed in, the forest itself seemed to come alive.

The commander's eyes widened in fear as Kali landed before him, her draconic form towering over him. "Impossible! You're just a beast!"
Kali smirked, her voice echoing with power. "No. I am Kali Mahakali, the Flame Sovereign. And this forest is under my protection."
With a final, devastating strike, she defeated the commander, his blade shattering under the force of her flames. The humans, now leaderless and terrified, retreated into the forest, their cries of fear echoing behind them.
As the dust settled, the wolf tribe and the elves cheered, their voices filled with relief and triumph. Kali shifted back to her dragonoid form, her flames flickering out as she surveyed the battlefield. The battle had been fierce, but they had emerged victorious.
Fenrir approached her, his fur singed but his eyes filled with pride. "We did it, Leader. The humans are gone."
Kali nodded, her mind already racing with plans for the future. "For now. But they'll be back. We need to prepare."
