They are perfect little soldiers. but how did they become so perfect? How
is it that every one of those young boys became strong, intelligent, dexterous, and deadly? A formula was created to altar the bodies and minds
of young children, creating faultless fighters strong enough to single-
handedly slay a dragon. And that is what they were called- The Dragon Slayers! Surely, with this flawless army, Zibach will gain the upper hand
in the war for Gaea!
Unfortunately, to get any formula right, one has to test it... many, many
times. What ever happened to the little test subject. to the first kidnapped child? I'll tell you, but the origin of the elite militia branch of Zibach is a dark tale, filled with sorrow and loss. This is the story of
the Failed Experiment.

Failed Experiment
Prologue
"We have a proposition for you, O great Emperor!" hissed one of the Zibach Sorcerers.
"Speak," said Emperor Dornkirk roughly.
"My Lord, we have great aspirations for a magnificent and powerful army that will grace the Zibach Empire." began one.
".where recruiting young men from the great countries will finally be obsolete!" Another finished.
Dornkirk became highly interested because Zibach had difficulties gathering an army. The other countries were suspicious, and he was lacking followers. He wasn't going to start a great war and take over the world any time soon. "Go on."
"Children." growled another Sorcerer. "There is an abundance of children on Gaea! We inject them with a serum that increases their strength, stamina, speed, vitality, agility, intelligence, battle tactics, you name it, all to the heightened level the greatest soldier could only dream about. We mean to create the perfect soldier!"
"We have all of the plans drawn up. we've been developing this for many months." The first added.
"In theory, everything is perfect. but." the second snarled.
"That is in theory." The final wheezed.
"When you have completed this formula, how do you plan to get these children to comply?" Asked Dornkirk, becoming more and more interested in their evil plot.
"Children are easily persuaded! That is the beauty of it." Rasped the second sorcerer excitedly.
"Go ahead with this plot! I love the idea!" Cried Dornkirk.
"We need a test subject."
"I beg your pardon?"
The first answered, "we need someone to test on. It would have to be a child. But no one, not even a small child, could be persuaded to be experimented on."
Dornkirk saw where they were coming from. They meant to kidnap their specimen. No one ever took over anything without breaking a few rules, and making a few. sacrifices. Dornkirk didn't feel quite right about it, but this army sounded delightful, and it was only one child. Finally, he said, "You may do as you must to complete the experiment successfully!"
"You will not regret this, Lord!" hissed the third.
"Just imagine, my Lord! A child who can single-handedly slay a dragon!" grumbled the first.
"Then that is what they shall be called!" Chuckled Dornkirk gleefully. "The Dragon Slayer Army!"
