Now we all know that dragons have a sluggish sense of time,so that
it was actually 99 years between you'd stepped into the puddle of dragon venom/slime
and your senses returned and you found yourself a big scaly flamebreather.
In the meantime all the rest of humanity had also stepped in a
puddle of sklime/venom so that humanity had gone extinct
whilst dragonkind was enjoying a revival.
So where did the knight come from?
You resisted your natural urges to flame the puny thing and instead looked at it through
your suspicious eyes,prepared to let forth a blast furnace breath should it
get threatening.
However the knight made no such moves and walked up to you
and politely enquired
" Excuse me Madame Dragon,have you seen Smerg anywhere?He seems to have wandered off."
