(Of course I end up starting with (arguably the most famous dragon) the Red Welsh Dragon. It's considered pretty much the only true dragon out of the Wales bunch. Here I go!)

You stared up at the great beast before you, covered in large shiny red scales. It covered its hoard of treasures from many lands, with its large claws. Some smoke puffed out from its nostrils, causing you to cough. You waved your hands in front of your face trying to rid of it but, the dragon leaned forward on its great haunches.
'May I ask you why you are in my cave?' You stared at it in disbelief. It could speak human?
​"I came here to ask for help. Many people in my village are sick from a plague. I am afraid a a creature such as yourself has cast it."
The dragon gave almost a concerning look at first but, it quickly turned to rage at your last statement.
'You think of me as heinous?! DO YOU?! First you come into my cave without permission.,' You stepped back, 'Then call me heinous?! HOW DARE YOU?!?!?!'
"No! I do not think of you heinous! I think of you as powerful! Only a creature of great power could cast that!"
It blinked, and stepped closer. It breathed out, letting smoke cover the entire cave, and which it came closer. Its snout touching your torso.
You started at it in surprise. What was it doing?
'I will help you if you do me a favor.' "What is it?!" 'Let me finish. Give me something that only a human can give.'
You blinked. Now it wanted you to solve a riddle? Oh bother.
"Must I guess?" 'Yes' Its answer had a hint of teasing. Oh well.
"Is it friendship?" The dragon gave a toothy grin. 'Yes. Other dragons are more willing to fight with you than, let's say, just, talk. Now will you be my friend?'
You hesitated, how could you possibly be friends with a dragon while your village was sick and dying? Well you had to do something.
"Yes I will. But please, heal my village!", you pleaded.
It grabbed you by your collar, and flung you on its back. 'I will ask of external help. I cannot heal them myself. Wait while I get help, please.'
You nodded, and held onto its back scales. You could only hope you both could save the village in time.

(Part two maybe?)
