Avilon

You are a legendary dragon, whose name has long since become part of ancient myth. (Your choice of gender and species.) For millennia, kingdoms have risen and fallen, generations have passed, but stories about you have lived on. You have been called the Scourge of Heaven, the Last Ancient, the Devourer of Empires. No one knew how old you truly were or where the limits of your power lay.

Few realized you were capable of assuming human form, hiding your true identity among mortals. Even fewer knew what abilities you truly possessed.

For centuries, people have tried to find you. For centuries, they have tried to kill you. And for centuries, they have failed. But one day, everything changed.

After a long hunt, the minions of King Avilon managed to do the impossible - catch you.

You were now deep beneath the royal palace. Heavy chains of enchanted metal bound your entire body—paws, wings, tail, and even mouth. Every movement echoed with the clanking of the shackles. The damp stone walls were lost in the darkness, and the occasional torches illuminated only a small part of the dungeon.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the door. Slow. Calm. Confident. Not a guard. Not an executioner. The King. The doors creaked open.

Avilon entered the room—a tall man in dark royal robes. His face remained cold and inscrutable, but his eyes held something you'd never expected. Admiration.

He stopped at a safe distance, looking at you carefully.

There was silence in the dungeon for several long seconds.

“So the legends weren’t lying...” he finally said.

There was a faint note of shock in his voice.

"They actually managed to catch you. Thousands of years. Hundreds of generations of rulers. Wars, expeditions, hunters, magicians..."

Avilon chuckled quietly.

— And all for the sake of one dragon.

He took a step forward. A dangerous step.

— It would be too easy to just kill you.

The king slowly extended his hand towards your face, as if he was about to touch not a living creature, but a legend.
