'A new commission', you thought to yourself. What made this commission more interesting was the location ;an Ancient Saurian ruin (More like a cavern) in which Tepetlisauri thrived before dying of natural causes.
The journey to the said ruin wasn't as tedious as expected.
"Eugh! The pure stench makes me want to drop dead! You actually accepted this garbage?" Ajaw spits, gesturing towards the rotting chest found by Y/N. "Stop yapping, Ajaw and help me open this chest." The raven-haired male sighed. His floating companion scoffed. "If you can be resurrected by a dendro vision, I'm sure you can open a singular chest by yourself. The Almighty K'uhul Ajaw doesn't waste his energy and breath on useless garbage," States the dragonlord.
"So much for a dragonlord." "Hey!"He musters enough strength to open the chest while his anemic companion fumes and hurls curses in the background. The boy managed to pry the chest open in a matter of minutes. Soon enough, he was welcomed by various gems, mora and other artifacts within the chest. He and Ajaw peer over the newfound treasure, observing its contents. "This is..." "Boring! Let's take the treasure and leave already! I might suffocate from how putrid this dump smells." Ajaw interrupts and floats above the chest. Y/N swats him away to get a better view.
'Maybe when I get back, I can distribute these with Kachina and Mualani and possibly have lunch with them', he ponders, unaware of the flashing lights eminating from his dendro vision. Suddenly, the ground began to shake, the lights getting brighter and the smell becoming almost unbearable. "Don't just stand there and keep the almighty K'uhul Ajaw waiting, you fool! Hurry up and grab the treasure!"
Y/N and Ajaw dash with as much treasure as they could gather while the ruin collapsed.

Y/N swings mid-air, using Ajaw as leverage. As the two finally catch sight of the ruin's exit, the dark haired male muster enough strength to fling himself and Ajaw out and towards safety, and watch the ruin crumble before their eyes.
"Well, that settles it. WHEN I tell you to 'grab the treasure' you GRAB THE TREASURE AND BOOK IT!" Ajaw chided Y/N as he began to turn a scarlet colour. "At least we made it out alive. I would have loved if you had died a horrible, suffocating death. It would have been tremendously amusing to watch you writhe and cry in agony as death slowly succumbs t-"
Said the dragon lord, earning a well-deserved smack from his companion that sends him flying into the distance.
You take a while to regain your breath and strength. Reaching into your pockets, you count how much treasure you had managed to save. It was quite few but it meant something. It meant that you had succeeded by a hair. If you hadn't, you'd have to start your commission all over again or earn an earful from Ajaw for 'being useless'.
