Dazzle, a magnificent dragon with scales that shimmered like the morning dew, lounged in the dappled sunlight. Despite his regal appearance, he wore an expression of profound discomfort.

"Ah-choo!" Dazzle sneezed, sending a cloud of soot billowing into the air. "Curse this allergy," he grumbled, casting a disdainful glance at a small pile of gold coins.

Dazzle pondered his predicament. "I can't keep hoarding treasure like this," he mused, rubbing his snout.

He needed wealth, but jewels and gold only brought sneezes and sneezes brought chaos. "There must be another way," he resolved, determination lighting up his eyes like the sun breaking through clouds.

Dazzle examined his latest collection: an ancient tome, a peculiar clockwork contraption, and a rare crystal that pulsed with a gentle blue light.

"Non-allergenic artifacts," he declared triumphantly, arranging them with meticulous care.

He chuckled, imagining the baffled expressions of treasure-hunters who would find his hoard bereft of traditional riches.

A group of treasure-hunters, led by a grizzled man named Finn, emerged from the shadows.

"I've heard there's a dragon with a hoard around here," Finn said, eyeing the clearing with greedy anticipation. Dazzle watched from a distance, his heart racing.

"This could get tricky," he whispered to himself.

Finn picked up the crystal, examining it with a frown. "What kind of dragon hoards...

this?" Dazzle, hiding behind a nearby tree, stifled a laugh. "Enjoy my collection," he murmured.

As the hunters departed, Dazzle settled back into his clearing, content with his clever solution.

Dazzle sighed happily, surrounded by his unique treasures. "I may not have gold, but I have peace," he thought, listening to the soothing sounds of his home.

Content in his new way of hoarding, Dazzle closed his eyes, dreaming of new artifacts to add to his growing collection.
