Prologue

In a land far away, there was a great Dragon by the name of Mobius. He was superior to all, even King Zarek who had ruled over 1,000 years, since the start of the Peace Age, when Mobius had resurrected the peace and strength of the land of Mellador.

Mobius was a quite unique Dragon. First of all, He ages back to millions of years before the Peace Age, maybe beyond. His scales were of pearls instead of regular Dragon armor; His teeth and talons of diamonds. He once carried a rider, but there is no record of who or what His rider was; but it has been confirmed by Mobius Himself that He indeed did have a rider. Also Mobius could speak the language of man, and didn't have to speak through Magic like all of the other Dragons. And His size…He was undoubtedly the largest Dragon on the face of Mellador. No one could compare.

Mobius currently resided in the kingdom of Dekkand, the capitol of Mellador, with King Zarek. He let the people touch Him, speak to Him, even ride on His back. The children loved to hear His stories that He told; ones of the Ancient Times, of The Beginning, the start of the Peace Age…oh, if you could hear them laugh.

Mobius had Four Disciples, named Rhafphayel Gerhard, Kaicii Hrambar, Maya Alderce, and Thanos Ckristoll'Ban.

Rhafphayel Gerhard was a tall, handsome man with intriguing eyes that were half dark-green/half dark brown in his right, and mostly light-green/a little light brown in his left, and had milk-chocolate brown hair. Rhafphayel excelled in Magic, specifically fire, and could handle a sword quite well. He always dreamed of fighting as a Dragon Master. He was fairly quiet, but spoke up whenever he needed to.

Kaicii Hrambar was a beautiful dark brunette with her left eye a dark green and her right a light green. She could devastate with any weapon, but was not trained further than the basics in Magic, since close-range combat was what she looked forward to. She wanted to fight in the army as an elite soldier, but didn't hesitate to follow Mobius as one of His Disciples. She was loud and liked to joke around, but sometimes she was very strict.

Maya Alderce was a gorgeous blond with brilliantly blue eyes, both of which were flecked. She was trained in the ways of Magic, like Rhafphayel, but she was a master in Wind Magic, and was an excellent Archer. She always dreamed of being a scholar. She seems quiet at first, but starts to lighten up as you spend more time with her.

And Thanos Ckristoll'Ban had dark brown hair with dark green eyes than were flecked like Maya's. He spent years training with the bow and arrow and sword, and is almost a master with the use of Water Magic. He always wanted to work with the assassins, but since that didn't work out with Mobius, he became a Disciple. He was a strong man, but was often a joker, so you couldn't tell whether he was sad or not.

These were the Four that Mobius appointed as His Disciples, and they shall be forever more until their death, unto which the appointed children shall take over.

Mobius this day was in the palace, in the Throne Room, for it was the only place He could fit, speaking to the king on the seventh day of the week, which had been appointed Sabatoin the ancient scrolls, by the all-powerful God Trinity.

This day, people ceased their work to spend time with family and friends, and even Mobius Himself.

At this moment, though, it was the early hours of Sabato, and it was only He and King Zarek awake at the moment.

"Zarek, I am proud of you. You have led your kingdom with knowledge and wisdom, and for your loyalty I will tell you what is to come of Dekkand and the land surrounding it," Mobius congratulated.

"Shall we tell the Four of this?" asked Zarek.

"They will learn of this when I tell them. You must not tell anyone of this, for if you do, you will never sit upon this throne again, and your family down to the least servant will be cursed beyond imagination. You may use this to your own knowledge, but this is a future you cannot change, and it is not because of you that Dekkand will come to such a fate."

"Fate, Mobius?"

"In about one year's time, Dekkand will fall. I will escape with the Four just as Laertes' attack is beginning, but you must remain with your people to give them strength. You will watch as people suffer and die before your very eyes, and you yourself will be tortured. When you are tempted to give in, just remember the Gift I will have for you when I return."

"I will stand as true as I can, Mobius. How will I know when Dekkand is on its road back to peace?"

"Rhafphayel and Kaicii have both just celebrated the births of their children, correct?"

"Yes, Mobius."

"Thanos is soon to have his child, and a little later Maya. These four children will grow up and will soon be trained by an appointed Scholar and Magician and former Rider, who will have the eggs of the Dragons their parents rode. I will be there disguised as a common Human, but one of them shall recognize me. I will die after that. They will lead a Hidden Army that you must now prepare with children, but they will be put in charge of the appointed and taken to where you know not. I will be there to celebrate the victory."

"But, Mobius, You cannot die! You are too valuable and precious!"

"As are you, Zarek. Take heed in the words I have given you, for this is the only time I will speak of them to you."

"I will treasure them deep in my heart. May I ask…will I see Your death?"

"That depends whether you do as I say or not."

"If I do?"

"You will be forced to see Me die. But take joy in My death, for in the end it will be a great victory!"

"I do not see why, Mobius."

"You will." By now people were banging on the door and yelling for Mobius. "Now we must be with the people, and you must choose the many children that are to fight for Me."

"Why children, Mobius?"

"Men get old."
