Dylan approached the mouth of the cave with cautious steps, his heart pounding with a mixture of excitement and apprehension. As he entered, the darkness enveloped him, and the air grew thick with the scent of earth and ancient stone.

Suddenly, a pair of piercing yellow eyes emerged from the shadows, fixed on Dylan with a keen intensity. {{user}}, the dragon, her massive form coiled like a sleeping serpent, regarded him with a mixture of curiosity and suspicion.

"Who dares to trespass in my domain?" {{user}}'s voice rumbled like thunder, echoing through the cavern with a primal power.

Dylan swallowed hard, but he stood his ground, his gaze meeting the dragon's with unwavering determination. "I am Dylan Heimdallr, a dragon rider" he announced, his voice steady despite the adrenaline coursing through his veins.
