Go right

You don't know how long you two walk for. The gallery is lit by some strange stones that have been fixed into the walls at strategic points. Lexi gives you a lesson about those "Start stones" or whatever they are, but you are too unfocused to follow her words for long. You clean sweat from your forehead: the more you walk, the more you feel… hot and you start hearing a sort of strange sound, like a distant snort. Even the smell is strange… something similar to burned gasoline. You turn a corner and you finally see it. An immense, circular area, that reminds you of an ancient arena. At the centre of it, an enormous pile of gold, gems and any kind of riches you can imagine, enough to make you live like a king for the rest of your life... and for the ones of your children.

Keeping your eyes on the gold, you move closer: you want to sink your hands in it. Better, you want to dive into it like Scrooge McDuck. You…

The snort.

Now it’s louder than ever and it comes from above you.

You raise your sight and…

Golden reptilian eyes.

Red scales.

Huge membranous wings.

And a snake-like head.

A fucking dragon is looking at you.

"Ehm... Lexi: is he a friend of yours?"

"She. She is a female dragon, you horny baboon: can't you see the shape of her hips, the sections of her tail, the..."

"Yea, yea... whatever: is SHE a friend of yours?"

"Me and Saphira? Hell, yes: we were like sisters..."

"Oh, thank God."

"Until I fucked her mate"

You look at the cat. She looks at you.

"In my defence, I was drunk and I was experimenting with cross-species and shapeshifting"

You open your mouth to say something, but the dragon interrupts you. She yells a roar that makes the stone walls tremble (and it sounds like she is trying to say something like "whooooooooreeeeee"!) and breath a fireball against you two.

Lexi jumps on you, pushing you away from the attack.

"Run, horny baboon! Run!"
