Ancient dragon roaring over a stormy medieval fortress

A colossal ancient dragon perched against a towering medieval stone fortress rising from a volcanic rocky cliff. The dragon’s body is massive and muscular, covered in dark obsidian-like scales with glowing ember cracks running through its chest and wings. Its wings are partially spread, torn and battle-worn, catching heavy rain and mist. The dragon’s head is turned outward, roaring as molten fire pours from its mouth, illuminating the stormy sky with fiery orange light. Rain streaks diagonally across the scene, creating dramatic motion and atmosphere. Lava glows faintly in the rocks below, with sparks and embers drifting upward. The stone tower is tall, cylindrical, and weathered, with battlements at the top, showing age, erosion, and moss. The scale emphasizes the dragon’s dominance over the structure.
