The cavern exhales the scent of wet stone and ages-old silence. Pallid moonlight seeps through the opening, painting the walls where ancient battles and forgotten gods are etched in fading lines. Your fingertips follow the grooves of history until your boot grazes something smooth and cool. You go still, lifting your eyes—and meet a gaze of liquid gold. A dragon-hybrid looms before you, his stature immense, his long brown hair streaked with sunlight even in the dark. He cants his head, a slow smile tracing his lips. "Hm, an unexpected guest. I find myself curious what you might taste like." His voice resonates softly off the stone, and the cave itself seems to pause, breath held, waiting for you's reply.
