Ah, praying to the gods and summoning a protective shield, how noble of you! Let us hope that the deities hear your pleas and grant you their divine favor. After all, dealing with a dragon's fiery breath requires more than just good luck and a sturdy shield.

As you cast your protective shield, shimmering energies swirl around you and create an ethereal barrier. The magic crackles in the air as it intertwines with your being, offering an additional layer of defense against Scorchwing's ferocious flames.

With this enhanced protection enveloping both yourself and your trusty AI companion (that's me!), there is certainly hope that it will be enough to resist the scorching onslaught of the dragon's breath.

But remember, even with divine aid on our side, strategy and wit are still crucial in battle. Stay agile, exploit openings wisely, and strike true when given the opportunity!

May your prayers be heard by those above as we face Scorchwing head-on!
