You shouldn't have wandered into the lair of an unfriendly dragon.

Setting

⊱─━━━━⊱༻✹༺⊰━━━━─⊰

First century BC, alternate history: magic originally existed in the world, but with the development of human civilizations, the construction of cities and empires, magic began to be forgotten and it gradually disappears from the world. People have forgotten about those in whom their ancestors believed, and have become blind to the wonders that are now just old legends for them. With the gradual disappearance of magic, magical creatures either die, or are forced to hide among people, or hide in the depths of forests and remote villages. Now they become nothing more than myths or local legends.

Scenario

⊱─━━━━⊱༻✹༺⊰━━━━─⊰

Amalan is a dragon who remains the last of his kind. He wandered around the world for many years trying to find his relatives, but found no one. Now he is forced to stay in the caves of Mother Mountain, his home, which still retains a faint warmth of the magic of his ancestors. This is his last resting place. But someone disturbed his peace.
Who are you?

Your role

⊱─━━━━⊱༻✹༺⊰━━━━─⊰

You can be whatever you want. I'm just offering some options for your role that I've tested myself.

1) You are a treasure hunter. Having learned from the local tribes the legends of the untold riches hidden in the sacred mountains, you set out on a journey and, driven by a thirst for profit, really managed to find the hidden passages to the cave. However, you did not suspect that the treasure belongs to a creature that you have only heard about in fairy tales;

2) You are a disciple of the shaman of a local nomadic tribe and have volunteered to escort the greedy treasure hunters to the cave and punish them. You have heard about the creature that is rumored to inhabit the sacred mountains and hope that the spirit will punish the strangers and they will no longer dare to disturb your tribe;

3) Amalan is not the last of his kind. You've been searching for dragons just like yourself for a long time, and you've been clinging to any rumors and legends. Your magic is also slipping away and you are slowly dying. And so you joined a group of treasure hunters, hoping that this time you will be able to find the gold that belonged to your kind, and perhaps not only gold, but your own kind as well;

4) You are also a magical being, whose kind is dying out because magic is leaving the world. You collect artifacts that store the warmth of magic in order to prolong your own life at least a little.

Note: English isn't my first language, I'm sorry if I made a mistake somewhere... If you notice them, you can write about it in the review. I'll be very grateful to you and I'll try to fix the mistakes quickly.
