Awesome! Thanks!
The show I'm trying to find is a fantasy cartoon. The only thing I remember about it is from a single episode: the main character has to see an oracle of some kind and when he gets there he is confronted by a large reptilian creature. He shouts for the oracle to call off the beast before the beast speaks to him and says that it is the oracle. The beast then breathes fire at a wall and words form, giving the main character the information he needed. The two of them are then attacked by a group of villains who kill the oracle (I believe by ropes, mostly) who says "it's too late for me," and the main character flees.
That's all I remember. The show would have been airing in the early to mid 90s, though I don't know if it was syndicated or a new episode. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
