"Seriously, like, a single torch would make a world of difference" You thought to yourself as you and your trusty (insert weapon of choice here) made your way down the dim hallways of Perkisas' ruins. According to Ariel, the trusty lady from Cobo service, you could earn millions, actually the word billions had come up in conversation, of ED by finding and slaying the legendary beast.

"If it wasn't so damn dark, I'd have found this bitch by now." You muttered after tripping over some loose stones. Seriously, the server was going down for maintenance in about forty-five minutes, so you need to wrap this up kinda quick. 

"Dammit, where is-" In your frustration you hadn't noticed the light that was coming from the end of the hallway. Even if it wasn't Perkisas, you could at least get out of this ridiculous maze. 

"Oh well, maybe tomorrow I guess." You thought as you got closer and closer to the light. 

"Wait a second, this light....it's not...natural." You thought to yourself as you walked through the doorway, which led into a room filled with......

"Gold....solid....motherfuckin' GOLD!!!" You whooped and literally jumped for joy, your weapon falling to the ground as you started stashing various valuables into your pockets. 

"There's a whole IB set~ Another million el shards~" You started humming, daydreaming of all the new things you'd buy with your new loot, when suddenly a thunderous 'DOOMF' almost made you wet yourself.

"THERE'S A RAT ABOUT IN MY HORDE! WHO DARES TO INTRUDE UPON THE DOMAIN OF GREED ITSELF?!"

".......I think....I think I might, just MIGHT have found Perkisas."

"Or did Perkisas........find me?" 

You tried to keep your stolen treasure from clanging together as you heard powerful thudding footsteps....clawsteps? Either way, it was bad news with your name written all over it, so making more than the slightest noise was probably not a good idea. You got a glimpse of the dragon as you hid behind a pile of golden chalices. 

This was NOT worth what you had picked up. No way.

The beast was at least thirty feet high from claws to head, and almost fifty feet long from rear to snout, not to mention his wings were folded in, which made you shiver to think something that size could get BIGGER. 

"Ok," you thought to yourself, "Now is a great time to NOT be here." You opened up the teleport menu, but of course the words "function not available" popped up in front of you. You hadn't expected it to  work, but a guy/girl can hope right?

"You think you're so clever" A giant, booming voice interrupted your thoughts. "You think just because you are not seen you are not caught. LIES!" With that final word, an enormous claw slashed just above you, scattering chalices and coins everywhere and fully exposing you.

*gulp*

"You will pay for your foolish insolence mortal!" The dragon flashed deep dark purple, and then your world went deeper and darker black.
