Even when I was young, I was old. Now that I am old, I am ancient. A dragon's span is not measured in years, but in generations. Like the great monarchs of a virgin forest, our growth is slow but continuous. When I came here, men wore suits of armour, slaying dragonets in their infancy and calling themselves great men.

When you came here... Where are you from originally?

In their infancy? Most tales tell of huge dragons!
