Description
The darkness inside the cavern was all-enveloping and the long shadows created by his flashlight seemed to be playing tricks on him. There was no indication of the dragon nearby, the only sound came from his breathing and his footfalls echoing against the unyielding rock. After a few winding turns deeper into the mountain, Hasan found himself into a large chamber. He shone around with his flashlight not completely certain where to go next. It was hot in here, the warm air mixed with something else, the smell of sulfur and brimstone. Suddenly, Hasan heard something shift behind him accompanied with a tinkling sound. He turned around sharply only to see two large orange red eyes staring down at him trough the darkness. Hassan abruptly dropped his flashlight and briefcase as he slammed both his hands in font of his mouth to muffle the scream of terror that had crept up his throat.Hasan, an envoy of the prince of Morocco tries to strike a deal with the Red Dragon, Tholaxxius who has settled himself into the High Atlas mountains. If you want to find out if he's successful or not, read the story.

Thanks, I was thinking of adding some pieces of modern art and such but in the end it kinda comes down to the taste of the individual dragon.

True. You know what would be awesome and hilarious at the same time? If the treasure hunter infiltrates the dragon's den in search of his/her fabled horde of riches, only to find the original copy of the Mona Lisa! That would be epic in my opinion and also show how art is the greatest treasure and even valued by dragons.

Indeed, let's see what other national treasures there are to hoard.

too bad he gets killed if were I would at least be carrying some type of explosive preferably a M79 grenade launcher a R.P.G with fragmentation and Rambo's m60 most important off all stun and smoke grenades! If you going to see a dragon make you're always prepare or you will end up like that guy!

If you want to appear friendly, you go unarmed. That's why dipolmats don't go strutting around with heavy weaponry when they are on a mission. He'd be cooked before he got a chance to fire anyway. Besides that, Prince Izmir doesn't really care what happens to that guy.

Nukes are not very practical when you want to hit a single moving target.

Haha, a modern myth - this was the first thought I had when I saw this. The dragon must be good at sneaking around and stealing stuff since the mona lisa is there and not in the louvre
Interesting design of the dragon, especially the head btw.

Thanks! He didn't sneak in, it's kinda hard when you're a massive dragon.
He *pillaged* the Louvre and burned down half of Paris in the process. You can read how it went here:[link]

Who needs paris, right? xD

Well, I felt that New York was a bit overdone: they're always getting the: Death Ray, Meteor, Alien Invasion...
Time for a change, besides. Paris is as well-known as NY.

I like the thought of paris burning down even more because it has a more romantic feeling with it

Wow, what an amazing dragon!
It reminds me a bit of the Hobbit.

I like the light effects on this one, especially on the face and neck.

Aye, painted in greyscale first, so I can focus on the light effects and worry about the color laters.

No to mention a short temper. He can always eat the little pest and when he doesn't like what he's hearing.

LOL. That does give him a certain negotiating advantage. LOL

He better come up with a good offer, Tholaxxius doesn't like it when someone's wasting his time.
