Medieval Date

During a blind date I met a woman at an Irish bar and we drank a lot of beer. She was tall and loud. I was lonely. We went to her apartment and had awkward sex. She was very sweaty and kept choking me. Her sweat fell down on my face and she screamed and screamed. Then she fell asleep. I went to the bathroom to clean up. I was going to sneak out, but I found some prescription drugs that I had heard were a good ride. I took four pills and lay back on her bed. An hour later the bedroom was filled with light and a golden chain covered with precious gems descended from the ceiling. Then I heard a kind of yawning sound from the floor. A putrid stench filled the room. Corpses with rotting flesh hanging from them were reaching up to the golden chain. They were in extreme pain. But their arms were always too short. The woman then shot up like a bolt in bed. She was looking right at me. The vision disappeared. I asked her if she saw that. She nodded. I asked her what it meant. – First you must find the golden crown located on the isle of Abundance to the west of this land, she said. There are treacherous narrows through which you must pass. A tricky lion guards the door of the castle. Then you must fight a terrible dragon. The crown is in the belly of that dragon. When you return the golden crown to me, I will then tell you the significance of the golden chain and the grave that opened up and the corpses of the dead who could not reach the golden chain. Well, how could I say no? She was certainly the most interesting woman I had dated.
