"I don't like this idea, why are we doing this? Reality TV is the lowest form of human entertainment," a large female silver dragon commented as she snorted, letting smoke out of her nostrils. "No one's going to fall for this you know, Sartic."
Her mate, a smaller sized bronze dragon laughed at that. They had set up the Hunt for the Hoard together as their part of the plan. They had bought an old castle in England and put a large chunk of their hoards in a secret room. They had found a number of greedy humans who were interested in getting rich off of it. So the idea had come to them to create a Reality TV show in order to capitalize on their greed and spread the transformations.
They had recruited a number of other Dragons and Dragonlings in order to put on the show. The Silver Dragoness was a bit uneasy about the idea, but she knew it was the best option for them.
The Bronze Dragon snaked his neck around his mate and smiled at her. "Neshassa, you should know by now that humans are that stupid. Besides we already have a number of people who are interested. Greed is a powerful motivator, and we have 8 humans who are interested in playing our little game."
"Well, then we'd better make sure that we have an interesting show," Neshassa said with a grin as she swished her tail back and forth. "The more humans that we put on this show and the more who watch it, the more our transformation will spread."
The two dragons wrapped around one another and shared a long, loving kiss. They still had a few hours before they had to start their show, so for now they were going to enjoy themselves, and each other.

"Welcome Miss. Jameson, you're the last to arrive," a tall man dressed in a neat suit with dark brown hair said as he greeted a woman at the door. She had long red hair and was dressed in a dark dress, and smiled a little at the man. "The other seven contestants are waiting for you inside."
"Thank you," Cassidy Jameson said as she was brought into the main hall of the castle.
She looked around the great hall as the tall man went up the stairs to meet with a woman with long silver hair who was dressed in a short dress that hugged her curves. She smiles as she puts her arm through the man's as they walked down the steps together before speaking up.
"Welcome to The Hunt for the Hoard," she said with a smile. "My name is Natasha Karnov and this is my husband Silas. Each of you have been chosen to compete in this show."
"You all know the stakes, you'll be here for seven weeks running competitions against one another," Silas continued. "The last two left remaining will be able to go on a full treasure hunt through the castle."
"You've all been chosen for your skills and knowledge," Natasha said with a smile. "And don't forget the world is watching you. Let's all have a good game. Everyone will have tonight to get settled in before the first challenge happens tomorrow. So, enjoy yourselves and have a good evening."
"And whoever wins will get the Hoard, millions of dollars worth of gold!" Silas finished.
Cassidy smiled as she brushed her long red hair back. She was not going to lose this challenge easily, she wanted that treasure, she wouldn't let anything get in her way. She went to go and mingle with the rest of the group, getting to know them a bit better.
