Plot:Mythical creatures have always been a favorite story for ears young and old. To put yourself in another realm, where science nor life can explain the existence of such marvelous beasts. Monsters kidnapping children, tales of unicorns and fairies... But perhaps one of the most favorites of man is the tale of the mighty Dragon.
Myths depicting their fall and rise, legends telling of the mighty heroes who felled the foul beast in its sleep. But how many are true? Dragons are just make-believe.... right? A tale of one mighty dragon dates back to before the knowledge of man, when a great icy monster tore the land asunder and feasted upon those that lived there. The legend goes on to tell of its rise and defeat of an evil tyrant, only to tell of its disappearance forever.
However, isolated within the Land of Snow is a cave of pure ice. Legend tells that it is the resting place of the great beast, deep within it's crystal walls. It is said that the creature has lived there for thousands of years in a deep slumber. Many an adventurer has boasted of laying eyes on the great beast, but in truth, those who have could never tell the tale... Great worms of ice, fearsome monsters that wander the cave, protect the beast from harm.
Myths foretell of the beast's treasury, vast and wide, filled with wondrous items. Recently, a group of brave adventurers have sent out the call to those daring enough to join them on their quest to slay the mighty dragon. Those daring, or those stupid enough to try...
