Against a glowing orb, a dragon stands vigilantly on a rocky surface, with a mounted figure astride, both illuminated by the orb's radiance amidst an ethereal celestial landscape.
The image depicts a dramatic and vibrant scene set against a backdrop of a large, stained-glass-like orb that emanates a radiant light. The orb is surrounded by a cosmic, starry environment. At the forefront, a majestic dragon, with a fiery and serpentine appearance, stands on a rocky terrain, its body illuminated by the light from the orb. The dragon appears to be in a protective or guardian stance, with its wings spread out and its head raised. Above the dragon, a silhouette of a figure, possibly a warrior or a mage, rides atop the dragon's back, wielding a staff or a weapon. The entire scene is immersed in a mix of cool and warm colors, with the blue and green hues of the cosmos contrasting with the fiery reds and oranges of the dragon and the figure.
