"For too long I've slept on my riches! Too long I have skulked in darkness! For so long I've lived in my keep alone. I must do something to change this life… but what?"

The more the better, a dragon believes. The larger the hoard, the larger you grow. But what if wealth no longer matters to him, what then? Does he give it all up in hopes of finding something new? No, that's not it. He is all on his own; without any dragon or other creature to talk to. Unless… he finds some creature suitable to his liking. Something that isn't another dragon? A pony perhaps?
