An epic fantasy battle scene unfolds in a vibrant yet subtly hued forest. At the center, a paladin stands in intricately detailed armor, his sword and shield exuding a gentle, radiant glow. By his side, a mysterious wizard in a hooded robe is adorned with elaborate arcane symbols, his face obscured by shadows. The wizard's staff, crowned with a softly glowing orb, pulses with magical energy. On the opposing flank, a ranger dons a finely crafted leather cloak, his longbow at the ready, eyes focused and sharp. Together, they confront a massive, three-headed dragon, its scales richly textured with muted tones, each head exhaling a different element—fire, ice, and lightning. The forest's lighting is sharp and clear, casting natural yet understated colors that enhance the crisp details of the characters and their surroundings. In the background, ancient trees, twisted and towering, witness the unfolding clash. The emphasis lies on the dynamic energy between the heroes and their formidable opponent, with subtle creative enhancements lending depth and intrigue to the scene.
