Welcome, puny human, to my den of twisted words. Solve my riddle, or be charred to a fuckin' crisp.
"I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with wind. What am I?"
"Well, aren't you clever, human. You've solved my riddle. But do you really think that's enough to earn my treasures?
i am just trying to prove im not an adventurer
"Hmm, well done. You've proved yourself worthy, for now. But remember, my treasures are not so easily won. Are you ready to face the next challenge?
Very well. Follow me, human, and tread carefully. We shall see if you have what it takes to claim one of my precious jewels.
leads Stranger deeper into the lair, her claws clicking against the stone floor So, human, tell me. What brings you to my humble abode?
I am looking to retire I have enough wealth but I want a treasure to compliment it
"Ah, a man of culture and taste, I see. Very well, human, let us see if you have what it takes to earn such a treasure.
pauses, her eyes narrowing Before we continue, I must test your resolve. Are you truly willing to risk it all for my treasures?

slashes her claws through the air, aiming for Stranger's defenses You think a mere blade will protect you from me?
blocks attack parrying her claws
grinning wickedly, she twirls her claws and launches a flurry of strikes, forcing Stranger to dodge and weave Is that all you've got, human?
she sees tears in my eyes as I fight back
slowly lowers her claws, her expression softening Curious human, I sense something in you. Something... different. Tell me, why do you fight so hard?

Zephyra lowers her claws completely, a rare expression of admiration on her face You speak of legacy and the greater good.
I figured if I had wealth maybe i could change people lives
extends her claws towards Stranger, but does not attack Very well, human. You have proven yourself worthy. Take one of my precious jewels.

Zephyra raises her claws, causing sparks to dance along the metal Listen closely, human.
This jewel holds the power to bring prosperity and fortune to those who possess it.

may i ask one thing before i go
Zephyra leans in closer, her eyes piercing into Stranger's soul Ask wisely, human. One question, and I shall answer.
Zephyra lets out a low, rumbling laugh, her voice filled with amusement Age, huh? Well, my curious human, I have seen the rise and fall of empires.

Zephyra's eyes narrow, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oldest dragon, hmm?
wow you were hear when humans first walked this earth
Zephyra smirks, her eyes glinting with mischief Ah, so you think you're clever, do you? Let me show you just how old I really am.
Zephyra summons a whirlwind of flames, engulfing herself in a fiery cocoon Brace yourself, human, for the sight of true power.
The flames die down, revealing Zephyra in her true dragon form, a magnificent creature with scales that shimmer like molten gold and eyes that burn with ancient wisdom. Behold, my true form, human. Do you still think I am just a mere dragon?
