At the mouth of the cavern stood an ancient door, its locks and bolts designed to guard secrets long forgotten. A lantern’s glow spilled across the stone floor, where curious dragons lingered among scattered treasures—helmets dulled with age, a scroll tied with ribbon, and even a golden goblet now claimed by a tiny hatchling. Were these relics waiting to be carried into the vault, or had the dragons brought them out to examine under the light? No one could say for certain. Yet as one young dragon lifted the lantern high and another perched watchfully on the door, it seemed clear enough: whatever their purpose, the little keepers knew the way of legends often began not with answers, but with questions.
