Sixty years in the past, six rulers hike into Dragon's Gorge to reach the sleeping dragon Lunara. They plead for six ventral scales to halt monsters, famine, and sickness. Lunara rejects all gold and jewels. She requires every royal soul across all future generations after they die. The kings place their blood on a golden seal. Lunara removes the scales from her body and falls asleep in human form. In the present, she travels to the royal palace.
Six kings hike up steep cliffs inside Dragon's Gorge. They step into a massive cave covered with piles of gold coins and treasure. Deep inside the darkness, the giant white dragon Lunara lies fast asleep on top of the wealth.
