Slag is a young red dragon yerns to prove to his friends that he isn't afraid of anything. They tell him, he must face the Darkness.
"Slag, have you heard of the Darkness?"
He laughs, "You mean the normal darkness that we see when the lights go out?"
"No, no... the true Darkness. It is mischievious but at most of all evil. It prays on drakes with little courage."
"Not quite sure what you're talking about..."
"You should know it though! I heard your dam talking to mine about how you sleep with fireflies at night."
Slag grew silent.
"To master the Darkness, you must confront it

My dam told me that a century ago, when she was a drake, a ruthless human traveled across the mountains with his friends killing all the dragons. They did it for fun! No dragon could stand up to Nakrol the Dragonsbane. There was also something more terribly evil about him, he couldn't be hurt by claws. But eventually he died of old age, thankfully. However, he still roams the mountains... OUR mountains, searching for more dragons to kill. I heard that he likes to loom in the darkness, hides behind rocks or under roosts! Just waiting for an insuspecting dragon or drake to come across his path and then he slices them up! They don't even see it coming!

Three "rooms" are available to enter. The Hoard, the sleeping chambers, ... and brain fart....
Enters the hoard room, trips on something. A few moments later, something crashes and starts to make a scratchy/screechy sound.
