Rip Van Dragon

As you emerge from a cave a short distance from the castle, you are suddenly shocked at what you see. The castle, your home, looks to be in ruins (well, more ruins than before)! The walls seem to have been worn away by time, and many of the towers have collapsed. What happened? You bound up to the castle wall, and discover for the first time the actual scale to which you've grown. You look to be about twenty feet long perhaps, maybe a little longer. Through arrow slits you see the courtyard overgrown with weeds and grasses, and the interior is covered in moss. How long were you in that cavern?

You run around to the front of the castle to see what has become of the village and gasp. A ruined village you esxpected, a deserted one even, or even on without any change at all, but THIS!! Huge buildings and skycrapers cover the landscape, and what was once a calm little village is now a city that rivals New York. You shake your head in disbelief. You then think to yourself, "Could I have been asleep for centuries?", recalling the legendary hibernation habits of dragons. You look for some sign of the date, a newspaper, a calendar, but to no avail. You decide that you must have been asleep for a great amount of time, and when you find the date, it will either confirm or negate that fact. Awakening to this revelation, you suddenly feel a pang of hunger. Even dragons need food, and if you havn't had a meal in years, now would definitely be the time to find one...
