A fierce battle rages between a monstrous serpent and a valiant phoenix

A fierce battle rages between a monstrous serpent and a valiant phoenix. The serpent, scales gleaming like obsidian, lunges with venomous fangs bared. The phoenix, a whirlwind of fire and fury, counters with talons ablaze. Each strike of claw and fang crackles with energy, illuminating the stormy sky with flashes of blinding light. This is a clash of titans, a timeless struggle between darkness and light, where only one can emerge victorious.
