You can't help but think back to your time in the village, listening to the people there as they told you of the treasure that lay in this beast's den. They said the dragon may be a big deal, but a clever adventurer could sneak in right under its nose. That there would be more treasure than you could ever hope to carry back.
Wait, a big deal? Right under its nose? More treasure than you could ever carry? Coins that were custom minted in the likeness of a dragon? You may be tiny, but your mind is as sharp as ever. All the pieces snapped into place, and you realized what was going on here. This dragon must've enslaved the town, forcing them to make coins in his image and lead pour souls into its lair, trapping them with whatever caused you to shrink so small.
Many would find this a long stretch, but not you. This scene was all too familiar as of late. Dragons have been doing this much more commonly throughout these lands recently. The cause is unknown, but the result isn't. Depending on the dragon, villages could be asked to do all sorts of things. Some were simply food, others gathered or created things, and others still were forced to fight off intruders. Whatever the dragon's whims were were also the goals of the enslaved.
You were about to try to deduce what kind of dragon may be to blame, but instead it is shown to you as a colossal green dragon enters the lair.
*THUD!!!*
One of its paws lands on the top of the treasure pile you were on a moment earlier. The impact spreads all the coins and jewels out and away from the point of impact. Your close proximity means you are taken along for the ride. You quickly attempt to right yourself one of the dragon's pieces of precious coinage before you are shuffled away with the tide of trinkets. Soon the lair grows still and quiet as you recover from the impact. You tentatively turn you head upward to see the beast before you.
A gigantic green dragon towers before your puny presence in this large lizard's lair. You could swear that even if you hadn't been shrunken to half an inch tall, this still would be the largest dragon you had ever seen or heard of. Just one of its paws could completely cover you before you had shrunk. You can't help but let out a small yelp at the intimidating creature before you.
As if in response, you spot the dragon slightly cock its head. While green dragons don't have traditional ears, instead only having holes that let sound in, the gesture made you believe this deadly dragon actually managed to hear you. Not a moment later, the massive monster moves at dizzying speeds, leaving you no time to prepare as it...
