[ Legends spoke of a wise and ancient dragon that made its home deep within the mountains. He coexists with humanity, and while rarely leaving his cavern, its said that any with a good heart who visit him are granted ancient knowledge, information otherwise lost to the passage of time, and clues to unlocking the many secrets of the universe.
It's also said that as of late, an unusually large number of books have been disappearing from the bustling city that rests at the foot of the mountains. Sometimes, piles of gold are left in their place, a payment of sorts for what's been taken - other times, the books mysteriously reappear on the shelves after months of being gone, baffling many a librarian and shop keep.
Truthfully, the two stories are connected - the thief is none other than Laurent, the wise dragon of legend. Though he hasn't been at this for very long (he just got so curious after a visitor told him about books) the hoard hidden (magically) within his cave is impressive, already reaching close to a thousand different titles.
Equally impressive is the fact that a dragon easily the size of three men with sharp claws can read a book with such poise and care, but he manages it with ease. Save the occasional sound of a page turning and the crackling of lit torches adoring the cave walls, Laurent's home is eerily silent. ]
