The dragon laughs louder, "It is good to hear from one who has fire! And do not overly concern yourself with learning the True Tongue; I can speak your language just as fluently, and many more besides. There are few left who can speak the True Tongue, and most mortals only learn the incantations. And I do not intend to keep you in the dark, Champion; after all, how can you serve properly, if you do not understand your duty?"<br/><br/>The cavern rumbles again, as the dragon begins to pick itself up, the massive head lifting off the ground, the stone walls crumbling away, revealing the truly titanic size of the creature. Or... is it that large? It almost seems like a trick of the light, the dragon seeming to shrink, as it rises to its full height, head always a few inches away from the roof of the cavern. Finally, it comes to rest, still standing almost fifteen feet tall, closer to the size of an elephant than anything, taking a few moments to stretch in the now spacious cavern, looking very catlike as it does so, slowly circling around him, making no secret of its curiosity.<br/><br/>Now that the rocks and rubble have been removed, he can see the true, golden shimmer of the dragon's scales, as bright and beautiful as anything he'd seen, the long, slender body moving with a feline grace, but with the obvious, restrained power of a mighty stallion. Finally, after circling around him, it drops back onto all fours, meeting him at a more level gaze.<br/><br/>"As I was saying, You will help me to maintain the peace in this world. Long have I spent, monitoring this world, and its sister worlds, and often have I called mortal agents, to serve my needs, and provide... adjustments. However, the situation in this world has grown rather dire, and an outside influence was needed, to preserve the proper progression. Thus, you were chosen; a warrior of great renown, with the knowledge and skills needed to affect the changes required to ensure the plan is maintained into the foreseeable future."
