You call the dragon and a veil of invisibility banishes and reveals a huge dragon. He's not red, his scales are not red, but black as a starless night, and his scales pulse with dark purple energy. His eyes lock onto you and roar "Who dares enter my domain uninvited?" his voice is charged with anger, a raw fury like a volcano ready to explode.

You drop to one knee, quickly explaining your quest, the magic stone and the journey. As you speak, you notice a nest of smoldering coals behind him with 2 empty rounded spaces... the missing eggs.

The dragon follows your eyes, and smoke comes from his mouth. "So you see my disgrace... I know where your stone lies, but you will help me to retrieve what was taken from me first." His voice is loud, and the rocks crack under his sharp claws. "Refuse, and face my wrath!"

Your choices are clear: Agree to help him, or refuse and fight his guardians.

What do you do?
