[ WP ] As a dragon of innumerable age you have guarded your gold horde for millennium . Many heroes have come with long speeches on how they will slay you , the great evil , none finish . However this one is odd.He throws a coin on your stash , looks you in the eyes and says `` I have a proposition for you . ''

`` Speak quickly young one,'' I said with a yawn. `` And do not attempt to retrieve your coin, should I reject your proposal. The last human who tried, ended up being lunch. Though that was many years ago now...'' My mind started to drift off to a time long forgotton. 
 
 Oh how young and majestic I was. Soaring through the air like a magnificent red eagle. My splendid scales reflecting the sun... 
 
 The human snapped his fingers. `` Old timer, stay with me here,'' he said. I snorted smoke in his face in frustration. How dare he, a pink squisht meat sack, dragged me away from my memories! 
 
 The human raised his hands, and said, `` Apologies, oh great one. He who's horde is great and scales shine brighter than the noon day son.'' 
 
 I blinked and laid my head on the pile of gold. `` Much better,'' I said. 
 
 `` As I was saying before, oh great one. I need some help, you see there is this monster, this horrible ugly thing, terrorizing my kingdom. I myself can not slay such a thing, but if I was to have a sword, I could slay him, obtain a mountain worth of gold, and live the rest of my days in luxury.'' 
 
 `` So why, pitiful one, did you give me the gold you could of used to get a sword? Why wake me, and pester me so?'' 
 
 `` Well you see, oh magnificent one, I need a sword of a fallen hero to take down this monster. Surely one so great as yourself must have one laying around.'' 
 
 `` Indeed, I do have many swords, however they are pretty little things, and I use them to pick my teeth after a meal. Why should I part with one of my treasures?'' 
 
 `` I will split the gold with you, 50/50!'' The human looked at me as I pondered his proposal for a moment. 
 
 Instead of answering him, I swallowed him whole. Humans are a greedy lot, he would of kept the reward for himself. I could always venture forth and slay this creature myself, but I do not feel the need to. Besides, I have not ventured forth from my lair in years. I believe the last time I was young, soaring through the air like a magnificent red eagle...
