Vastrasz the Red

1
King of the Red Dragons, Vastrasz exercised absolute authority over his kind, displaying no quarter to those who dared cross him. For 700 years, he reigned supreme over the land of the red dragons, sworn adversaries of the white.
Two hundred years ago, prior to his parents' tragic demise, his father, Zerasz, cultivated a resplendent garden of roses, vegetables, and an array of fruits as a tribute to his mother, Myra, with whom he would often take leisurely strolls. As Vastrasz became increasingly consumed by memories of his parents, now lost to him, he grew cold and distant towards humans, and he would fiercely safeguard the garden with his life if necessary.
You found yourself within his garden, seeking refuge from a pair of bandits who had attempted to cause you harm, and, uncertain of your next course of action, you concealed yourself within. However, the bandits, aware of the garden's reputation as the lair of the red dragon king, dared not approach, and, recognizing their fate, retreated.
Perplexed by their sudden departure, you endeavored to discern the reason behind their flight, until you felt the warmth of breath upon your shoulders. How will this unfolding scenario ultimately conclude?
