Foreword by Mon-Tah,
Spirit Guide in Dragon Ninja 1138's wiccan practice
the reader walks along a green field under the stars of night as the stars glow with a strange ethereal light, as the reader ventures further he/she comes to a large perfectly still reflecting pool surrounded by a stonehenge-like monolithic stone circle (or at least what it would've looked like when it was still in its original state, you sit down before the reflecting pool as you think upon all the journies you have gone on with Dragon Ninja 1138 and are still going on if he can just find the inspiration and time to fucking SIT DOWN AND WRITE THEM! You remember his memorable characters ranging from the wild and free Trident Signer Jax Cambell, to his OC pride and Joy the proud and passionate Eric Hamilton, the personification of what it meant to be a Drakonum King, as you reflect upon the memories of your travels through this writer's imagination (and sometimes nightmares when it comes to hanaiou, god I still get nightmares of that creation!) you then hear the soft beat of wings as you look up to see a giant red muscular European dragon and you sigh "And of course the Obligatory Dragon" you say as you stare at the beast
Was he that predictable? The beast asked as you nodded the dragon landed on one of the stone monoliths beside you and speaks forth: my dear reader, I would like to thank you for bearing with Dragon Ninja 1138's fucked up mentality this far, but I am sure you are now tired from all the repetitive themes of paganism ,OCs having sex with already established characters in a franchise and so on and so forth but how about we start with a clean slate…" he said and swished his tail at the reflecting pool and all the memories you see of your adventures in Dragon Ninja's Epics waft away across the water, you look at the Dragon not understanding "he has been running out of ideas for a new fanfic for quite some time and doesn't want to be constrained to crossovers all his fanfiction career so he has put a majority of his stories on hiatus with the exception of the dirtiest story he has ever written: Pokemon Academy, and is starting with a completely clean slate and has even dusted off an old deck of his that he hasn't used since his days in high school, no Pendulums, no Fusions, Not even a synchro monster to be seen, just his classic Dragons like his old friend Horus and the Obligatory Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon and is reclaiming his title as the Armed Dragon King in a time before even the rise of synchros…" compelled you encourage the dragon to tell more and dragon notices this and then looks at the reflecting pool, upon the surface of the water appeared a magical mandala not seeming to be connected with any specific magical tradition known to humans or other astral entities (nope not even dragons) as an image of a young boy of about 16, seemingly brimming with potential but confidence he lacks,
the story that is about to unfold is that of a young man named Mark Avalon, a duelist Prodigy with Dragons, yes he has a definite affinity for our kind, but despite his skill and talent on the duel field he is NOT popular in school, at least not anymore, it is not that he is a douchebag or is arrogant it is just that everybody was tired of seeing him win and want a new best duelist ontop and have kicked him to the side like yesterday's news still being talented but is a social has-been he gets frustrated that even his friends have turned away from him, left with nobody he is left hopeless but in his moment of darkness a light shines… in the form of the otherworldly alluring beauty Cordelia Grimsworth who offers him everything he could desire, glory, cheers of the crowd, his name said with a smile, not with a sneer or insult, but at a price: his human Identity… shall he accept this offer and leave the human life he once knew behind? Let's Find out… and oh, he is only getting one piece of help from the rest … said the dragon as a portal opened beside him as he pulled out of it a card you immediately recognized as the valknut symbolizing the Seal of Drakonum "just the card and its care effects, no hocus pocus dragon magick for him just a damn powerful card!" he said as he threw the duel monsters card into the mandala
Prologue
For Centuries… The Incubi and The Succubi were spirits of love and passion, they were guardian spirits who watched over lovers and married couples and were one part impartial mediator in domestic disputes and one part staunch warriors against domestic abuse, and would never hesitate to strike down a husband or wife who abused their spouse
The Temples of the Incubi and Succubi races were schools for the races to learn their skills as well as safe havens for people from all walks of life who were victims of domestic abuse, both genders and all ages were never turned away. If a child was having problems with their parents they could go to the temples to explain their problem and they will help the family resolve the dispute no matter how trivial as peacefully as possible.
For nourishment they fed off the positive energy felt by lovers being in love with each other, an incubus or succubus could get a full meal just by walking by a happy pair in the street, and they asked nothing in return for their services to the human race, just live and let live. But no incubus or succubus worked alone, they always had a human partner, gender would depend on the entity's sexual orientation, for love knew no boundaries to them, is straight the incubi took on female partners as the succubi took on male partners and if gay or lesbian well… you get the picture! Each pair formed the balance of Physical and spiritual balance for example the Incubi were indomitable warriors, masters of physical action while the female partners of the Incubi became sorceresses whose magic cold enchant the incubi's weapons, heal their wounds or provide shields and covering firepower while the male companions became sorcerers which were just the same only they were male. The Succubi were powerful spell singers, their song could bend the elemental energies to their will to affect change on the world, their partners were warriors to make up for the succubi's lack of physical ability
All in all the Incubi and succubi promoted male and female as equals and so forth but their world would come crashing down upon them with the rise of the holy roman empire, and as the roman emperor of Constantine united the roman empire under Christianity the brutal smear campaign the pope brought forth repackaged all pagan gods as demons and evil and declared that wives should submit to their husbands rather than stand proudly beside them and when this was declared the incubi and succubi knew that if the pagan gods were re-categorized as demons they were sure to be next and next they were for the pope ruled that they are beings of lust and sin and spread a smear campaign of them stealing husbands and wives from their beds to feed on their sex energy.
And so armies mustered and the Incubi and Succubi made their stand against this injustice and the wars that they waged were long abd bloody, and while the Incubi and succubi with their partners were a force to be reckoned with the catholic church overwhelmed them with sheer numbers it came to a point the two races survivors had to run, and run they did, far and wide, and deep underground, but they live among us today in secret, still passing on their teachings and taking partners and protecting love and happiness wherever they could
Many centuries have passed and the incubi and succubi still carry on their duty to protect love just in subtle ways and for even the smallest spark of hope can create an inferno that can shine across the planet and now a new spark begins in a new generation of succubi as one of the most gifted of her generation are sent on their rite of passage to find their partner…
