They clash mid-air above a floating lava river

A surreal volcanic sky realm where islands of black rock float above rivers of molten lava flowing through the air like suspended waterfalls. The sky burns with deep crimson clouds illuminated by lightning storms. **Action:** 15.0s sequence. A blazing phoenix composed of flowing flame and glowing embers spirals upward through the volcanic sky. Opposing it is a massive storm griffin whose wings generate violent wind currents and lightning arcs. They clash mid-air above a floating lava river. The phoenix dives through the griffin’s storm vortex while fire and lightning collide violently. Velocity Ramp choreography: a lightning claw strike freezes in ultra-slow motion as sparks and embers scatter through the air before snapping back to real time as both creatures spiral downward. **Camera:** Fast aerial tracking through lava-lit clouds, briefly passing behind a floating rock formation before revealing the full aerial duel. **Style & Constraints:** Photorealistic fire simulation, volumetric storm clouds, ray-traced lava glow, cinematic lightning illumination, stable geometry, 8K.
