CH 3: Triennial routine of an ancient dragon.
In a faraway mountain, Inside of a giant dark cave, a great creature is awakening of its hibernation of 3 years to set course to a certain low level city.
By the way, it`s an ancient dragon named Henry.

*Henry the dragon POV*
“Uaaaaaaaah” I yawn.
It`s been three years since I went to sleep, That was fast! I want to sleep more!
“Wrrrrrrrrrrrrr”
Looks like my stomach doesn’t think so. I should hunt a whale or something to eat a little. Usually I will hunt three or four of them to been satisfied, but I`ve recently woken up and I want a light breakfast; you have to have healthy food habits.
I leave my cave and a bright sun burns my eyes. It hurts, but that´s what´s after three years of sleep, I need to get used to it.
When my eyes finally have used to the sun, I’m starting to fly, move my wings gently so has not destroy the mountain, I am an ancient dragon after all.
While I fly I see a group of humans working the field near their village, although they can´t see me, I`m ten kilometres away, I am an ancient dragon after all.
The sea is far away so I decide to take advantage of this and quench the hunger of my human form, yeah I have a human form, I am an ancient dragon after all.
I land on a plain about five kilometres of the village and transform my dragon self into a human one, it feels strange to be so small but in this way I am much more agile and above all I don't scare people, my human aspect is that of a tall young man with black hair and purple eyes, before I kept my horns but with the practice I managed to make them disappear too, I am an ancient dragon after all.
I walk towards the town and it turns out that I was wrong, it is not a town of humans but it was a town of semi-humans specifically of hyenas. I enter the town and the first thing I see is that it is full of activity, children playing ball, and their mothers chatting, vendors shouting prices, a farmer with a flock of sheep ... a few minutes later a woman approached me to welcome me to the town, it seemed to be the mayor. I never liked hyena women because they have what you and I know, cat or dog girls are fine but not hyenas, although the best are dragons.

“Welcome to our humble people sir, but why are you naked?” the mayor said.
Shit, I forgot that. Instantly I make a black t-shirt and pants out of nowhere, I am an ancient dragon after all.
“who is naked? I am not naked, you are not naked, nobody is naked, are you sure you are well, miss?” I said.
“it's just that I'm a little tired, lately the crops are not going well and we are running out of supplies, I've been awake for two nights trying to find a solution to our problem but I can't think of anything.”
"I could help you" I am a good dragon "but in return I want you to give me food" I am a good dragon but a hungry one too.
The mayor's face lit up and she showed an expression of happiness mixed with despair "We will make a feast in your honor if you can help us" she said.
A banquet in my honor, uh, sounds good, it seems that I will have to make an effort here.
"I have to go to a place where I can see all your lands," I say to the mayor "from there I can do something"
"There is a perfect place, on the hill on the other side of our lands there is a small sanctuary to the goddess of fertility, from there you can see all our lands" the mayor said.
A few minutes later…
Finally, I arrive at the sanctuary, on the way I noticed the crops and they were indeed dry and withered but luckily it did not seem to be a curse just a bad year. I look at the sanctuary with suspicion, I never like those gods, but I hold on and enter. The mayor did not lie from here there is a perfect view of the domains of the town, but I did not come here to admire the views, I remember to remember the spell Yes, I can do spells, I am an ancient dragon after all.
“[augebatur fertilitate abundat rerum castra]”
When I finish singing those words, the fields begin to bloom at a dizzying pace, the dead plants revive with the brightest green, flowers leave their branches for a short time after giving way to their fruits, from here I can see people in the fields scream with happiness, but none of that matters, the really important thing here is that I will finally be able to eat.
Three hours later…
aah, the banquet was delicious, although I think they were not expecting me to eat everything, after the banquet the mayor called me and told me that in a small town east of here, two years ago I had begun to believe so much in population as in size and that a lot of adventurers went out there to explore the world, this seemed very strange to me so I decided to go research and now I am flying in the direction of that city.
