Just finished watching your animation. While the design, models, texture, lighting and rendering are all outstanding for an individual work, I think you need to put more time on the animation itself. There are many area in the animation you can improve, like the walk cycle, the dragon flying, expression on the character, etc..., a lot of timing on the animation are off. Also pay attention to your camera moves, some of them seems a bit too CG, also some of the shot seem to be holding too long.
As for the storytelling, you might want to cut down the story to just one dragon and down to around 4 mins. You can have the opening just like what you have right now, then the character enter the chapel, walk to the cup like what you have at the "2nd" part. The dragon appeals, the character runs out the chapel and the dragon chases him. Then have the outdoor fight scene as the final battle.
I guess you must have seen the dragon scene in Shrek 1 many times as I can see a lot of reference. Go see it again, this time really check out the motion of the character and dragon, and the way they planned the action.
Just my 2 cents. Keep it up!
