We have one Hero who wants to kill a dragon and one Dragon who definitely doesn’t want to be killed. That’s why he hides so deep in the dungeons that you can find him only by chance stumbling onto a scaly tail deep underground. Yet the Hero is very stubborn. He and his squad take on the most dangerous tasks and crawl into the deepest dungeons without fear of stumbling upon a dragon, on the contrary, this is his most cherished desire.
One day unknown monsters invade in the world of our Hero. Many legends warned world about this curse, so people know what to do. The only way to stop monsters is to awaken the spirit of an Ancient Warrior that rests in some ruins.
This responsible mission is entrusted to our Hero and his squad. “What a big deal! Look into one more dungeon, find where this warrior is buried and do a little magic“ - the heroes think when they accept this mission. There were six of them in the squad: a wizard, a healer, two dwarfs-warriors, a pathfinder and our knight – the Hero.
The moonlight is flooding the forest as a company of heroes is walking to the ruins. They're talking and arguing about something so loudly that they don’t hear the branch crunches time-to-time or someone quietly growls behind the trees. Perhaps because of their carelessness or optimism, but the heroes reach the ruins even without suspecting the monsters who are watching them. Sometime the ruins really were a magnificent temple which is now half underground. Today only a small gap of the doorway remains above the ground. But this doesn’t startle our heroes. After all, they have visited thousands of dungeons, so they fearlessly jump down. Feet are squishing in something sticky, the only torch that they've taken with them is illuminating the arches of the temple, and they are now walking along the tunnel more carefully, listening and peering.
A long corridor leads them into a spacious room with a huge statue holding a sword in hands. “Perhaps this is a Warrior”, they think and someone makes a step forward. At this very moment the Warrior's sword begin slowly but surely falling on them. Of course, all dungeons and tombs have traps, but our heroes don't expect something like this. They barely manage to jump from the falling block of stone in the shape of a sword, but this doesn't save them. The floor crumbles under a heavy hit and begins to fall down. Apparently, there is one more room below. And now our heroes are rapidly falling in complete darkness.
Until they land on something sonorous and unsteady. "That’s gold!" exclaims the Hero. This is a well-known fact: where is gold, there is a dragon. And the confirmation is not long in coming. A pillar of fire from the mouth of the Dragon illuminates the room for a minute. However, without hitting anyone. The Dragon has been sleeping for many years and can't so quickly understand what woke him up and what danger is threatening him. The Dragon is large and golden-red with huge yellow eyes and clawed legs. He is really terrifying, but not for the one who had been hunting him for all his life. Working together for many years, the squad already know what to do. The magician creates several luminous balls that immediately soar up and lit up the room a little bit. The Dragon begins to move, freeing from the mountain of gold, under which he's been sleeping for many years. The coins are shining and falling with a ringing, and the Dragon towers above them like a stone statue. All members of the squad hastens to hide, but not our Hero. He is standing and looking at the Dragon like a child who sees a toy that he's been wanting to have for many years.
The Dragon freezes over the hero and puffs of smoke burst from his nostrils. They are looking into each other's eyes. And then happens something unexpected for everyone. After all, our Dragon is not a fool, he understands that he can't cope alone with six opponents. Therefore, he crouches on his hind legs preparing to jump, but instead of the expected attack, he jumps to the upper floor, from where they fell. All the heroes froze in bewilderment. They don't know what they have to do - complete the task or catch the beast. “Behind the dragon!” - the knight commands and everyone begins to look for the way up.
Our hero and his friends are standing on the top of the hill with ruins and looking at the silhouette of a dragon moving away from them in a purple predawn sky. He flies to the south where lays the sea and after it - other countries. When the dragon finally turns into a point, they turn their eyes to the west, and see an army of monsters that are rapidly approaching a settlement. They are looking at this for several minutes. And then follow the Dragon.
