the dragon would be sitting in the dark, watching you closely as you approached, you pulled out your sword and shield, hoping that the dragon would surrender.. though that's not what would happen... the dragon would snarl at you, for being in it's den, before walking closer to you, letting you see it's entire body..

"What do you want, human? Are you here to slay me, or here to take my treasure? If so then I won't allow you to take my treasure!"
