Ancient Dragon Awakening

Slow crane up shot: Deep inside a vast underground cavern, the camera starts on a massive scaled eyelid that twitches once before slowly opening to reveal a molten amber reptilian eye with a vertical slit pupil. The iris catches light from distant lava flows, creating an internal glow. As the camera cranes upward, the full scale of the sleeping dragon becomes apparent: enormous horns curving backward, armored scales the size of shields in deep obsidian and crimson, and wisps of smoke curling from flared nostrils. Stalactites frame the creature above. Pools of magma cast flickering orange light across the cavern walls, illuminating ancient gold coins and treasure scattered across the stone floor.
