You stand before a dragon, with shiny black scales and breath that brings your skin to a boil. At your feet are your only three possesions, a bag of coins, a sword, and a crude invisibility cloak. “I must fight this dragon because it is a violent animal” you think to yourself. You pick up the sword and shield and stand ready to slay the beast, but as you square off the dragon looks at you curiously and lowers its head in front of you. It beats its mighty wings and sends the sword flying out of your hands, far behind you. You expected to be eaten, but it only continued to stare at you. “If I can’t fight it I could always try trick it, seeing as it is only a dumb animal” you think. You wrap yourself in the crude invisibility cloak, and slowly walk towards the dragon in the hopes to escape. The dragon sniffs the air and in a swift moment brings its claws down. You flinch, closing your eyes and await your death. Once you open them however you find the cloak in shreds, and yourself quite alive and unharmed. “If it is stronger than me and smarter than me, it might be greedier than me as well.” you smirk. Carefully you hold the bag of gold out, getting down on one knee and carefully watch the beast. You hear a strange sound come from it and smile in triumph. The smile quickly fades as the dragon spits a small glob of fire igniting the coins causing you to drop them and watch as they melt into a pool of molten gold. You become furious, screaming at the dragon,“What do you want? I’ve no options left. Where do I go from here? The visions in my dreams could not have been for nothing! ” The dragon only responded by lowering its head again and you being focused only on it now a strange thought arose. You raised your hand and walked slowly toward it. The dragon watched as you approached, until gently you touched its glossy scales. Your fingers sliding on the polished surface, you hear a voice that is not your own. “I am glad you finally arrived, I have been waiting for you.”
