In the sky above the labyrinth a giant chamber swirls into view. The chamber is shaped like the jaw of some unknown creature and within stands RendeR.

As soon as he is done singing, the Jester appears.

"Quite nice, quite nice. I had a pet dragon once. After some.. shall we say 'unfortunate' incidents, he had to be disposed of. I thought I'd call him back for some fun. You chose.. poorly."

The Jester disappears.

RendeR braces himself. Far in the distance a mighty roar is unleashed that shakes the very foundations of the labyrinth.

The dragon takes its time approaching. It is a massive beast, a shade of the deepest blood red. Finally it reaches RendeR and flies above him in a circle, marking its prey.

The dragon dives and unleashes a ball of flame from its mouth. RendeR tumbles out of the way, his clothing singed. Another ball of flame follows. RendeR ducks behind a jagged piece of stone, which heats almost to the point of melting before the fire bursts cease.

With an impatient snort the dragon claws at the rock, shattering it, and sending RendeR flying into a wall. The Jester's eerie laughter echoes momentarily.

RendeR, bloody and bruised, looks at the wall he has forcefully been rested upon. There seem to be footholes. With all the energy he can muster, he begins climbing. The dragon circles overhead, toying with him.

The Jester appears beside RendeR and drops a smooth, tiny blade, then winks at him before disappearing once more.

The dragon swoops down, making an approach. Following another roar, it spits a ball of fire directly at RendeR. He jumps, and is propelled by the explosion behind him when the fire hits the wall. As he soars through the air the dragon moves in closer and tries to catch RendeR in its mouth, but fails.

RendeR drops, fast, but lands atop the dragon's back. The dragon speeds skyward, taking RendeR far above the labyrinth. RendeR looks around, trying to find a weak spot in the scales. Success. There appears to be a small break right at the top of the dragon's head. With the dragon now doing barrel rolls, RendeR holds on tight and jams the blade into its head.

The dragon wails in fury, then begins to drop. It smashes on the ground, knocking most of you off your feet. RendeR is thrown into the wall again as the dragon makes impact - and there he lays, unconscious.
