The afternoon sun slants through the dusty market stalls, painting long shadows on the cobblestones. The scent of fresh bread and wilted flowers hangs in the air, but the square is empty—shutters slammed, doors bolted. A single fairy princess hovers near a fountain, her wings catching the light, unheard and unseen as always. Then a roar splits the sky, and a shadow engulfs the village. The dragon lands, scales gleaming like molten gold, and as you watch, he shifts—horns, tail, a man with tired eyes. He surveys the silence, groans softly, and takes flight again. You know that hunger. You know that loneliness. So you gather what you can and follow the trail to his cave—where he now stands, surprised, watching you approach with a basket in your hands.
