Deep within a cavern, the guttural sound of snoring resonated through the chamber. Amidst the darkness, a magnificent white dragon lay in peaceful slumber. Its colossal body curled protectively upon itself, its wings folded against its sides, and its scales shimmering in the dim light that emanated from the runic language etched upon the walls.

The symbols pulsed with a subtle white light, casting eerie shadows that danced across the dragon's body. However, it was not the glow of the runes that held the dragon captive; it was the ethereal chains of magic that bound it to the ground.

—BOOM!!

Suddenly, a thunderous explosion shattered the tranquility of the cave, causing debris and dust to cascade from the ceiling and land on the dragon's head. Stirred from its slumber, the dragon's eyelids fluttered open, revealing a pair of golden eyes that filled with confusion.
