Lying in a deep dungeon after defeat, he had almost given up all hope upon living any longer. It was then that from deep in a dark cave of the dungeon he heard a rumbling sound, accompanied by a clinking sound like a chain.
Looking around him into the dark, he strained to see what was so huge that it could make such loud noises; fearful to move any closer. It was there that he saw sevens glowing eyes staring back at him. With a cry, he stumbled backwards, surprised and scared at the same time.
"STAAAAAAY" A voice rumbled in his head. The man stopped dead in his tracks, getting to his feet slowly. Had this thing… spoke to him? He thought. The creature emerged from the shadows, revealing itself as a large, majestic golden dragon. It nodded in response to his question. A chain rattled at his neck.
"HELP ME," It commanded. He stood stock still for a moment before realizing what it had said. It needed his help? But how? Then his gaze returned to the chain around the mighty dragon, then to his sword. Picking up the shinning blade, he thrust it down with all his strength, severing the chain in half.
With a great roar, the dragon leapt up smashing through the roof of their prison with a single beat of his enormous wings. "FOR YOUR HELP, HUMAN… I SHALL AID YOU… TO VANQUISH VALVANION… ONCE AND FOR ALL…" The voice boomed in his head. With a gratifying smile, the warrior clambered onto the dragons back and fled their prison.
