Prologue

Druen

"Sir, sir!"Someone outside the door yelled," your needed at the council room, Lieutenant General 's of real importance that you attend immediately." he opened the door to see the Major Trex of the water council squad holding out a small,brown grabbed it and said,"the council? Don't they know I'm on Honorable Discharge because of my wife giving birth to my son? This better be good."He opened up the envelope to see a printed out piece of paper folded with the Dracnee council emblem at the middle,he tore that part off and flipped open the paper to read:

The council requests the Lieutenant General Druen Krage to return to the council room to discuss the matter of the promotion

of the Lieutenant General to General of the Dracnee Space Fleet(D.S.F) Druen Krage and the matter of personal reconditions of the new

General of the D.S.F Druen Krage at 1500 hours from now.

yours truly,

High Councilmen Pera

Druen felt odd about the last sentence of the letter. Personal reconditions? How personal were the council meaning? "I'll report in the requested time,you may return to your duties, Major." Druen informed Major Trex as they both saluted in fashion and he shut the sighed as he walked into the room were his wife,Emmra, sat on their old chair with our little fledgling, Luceal him and Emmra picked the name from the famous Earth Dracnee Colonel Luceal H. Grundle who won the 1st Dragoncife War in 1605 S. Dracnee are a race of Draco that can control an element of their species,such as:Fire,Water,Earth,Air,and their appearance is rather more human than dragon, also that only the most powerful of Dracnee can accomplish such a feat. Emmra spoke,"What is it dear? your looking' aggravated again." Druen loved the way his wife spoke in concern, it made all his troubles float away. He replied with a scowl as his frustration returned,"Its the council,they need me back in the council room in 1500 hours and just when our child came 21 nights ago."He sighed."I hope our child survives in this cruel world, where there's other cities in starvation and the council and Fire Dracnee are on the brink of war, and when his father might need to leave him." Emmra's head shot up."Your leaving? why?" Druen looked down at Emmra and then down to his 3 week old fledgling and then walked over to the middle of their living room with all their fancy furniture due to Druen's military freedom of then looked back at his family and replied," I'm being called into the council to accept my new title as General of the D.S.F, Emmra." At that moment, his world was covered in large smoke,debris and fire across the land that he couldn't believe it,wouldn't believe it. The 2nd Dragoncife war began. And only his son survived.

Two weeks after the 2nd Dragoncife war began,Druen took watch over his son as he wasn't the same after their house was burned down after the first attack, since the medical team couldn't revive Emmra because of how badly damaged her body was nearly threw up into the waste container beside the hospital bed just thinking about it, after he heard from the head medical captain, he fell into depression and grief so bad that the council decided to postpone the meeting for a few weeks until Luceal has partially recovered.

From what he heard from the council,the Fire Dracnee was in league with a humanoid alien race known as the 'Rogues' and they had planned an attack on the cities across the region and then gradually head for the central, the largest city in , for now,the council sent out the Dragoncife Special Troops(D.S.T),along with the central army to hold off the impending knew what he'd do every, last, Fire dracnee in this universe!And save the leader for last so Druen could savor the looked up from his depression to check on his knew he'd survive,he even told his wife he was the right age he'd be a great fighter, Druen knew it right down to his gut.and his guts never wrong.As the nurse came in, he stepped outside in the hall and sat down in front of the room. Without realizing it, he noticed the High Councilmen Pera sitting right next to him ,reading them teen magazines featuring famous soldiers out on the turned to nudge the councilmen on the shoulder and reacted fast enough for Pera to jump right out of her seat and fall flat on the chuckled unconsciously as the old woman got back up on her seat with a blush splat across her face."So, whats the High Councilmen Pera doing in a hospital unit in a time of war?"Druen spoke sarcastically."Looking for our leading General in command,of times of war, the best soldiers are usually in need of a good leader to I know of how upsetting it is for you right now but this will have to found a lead on where the Rogues next target is." The old woman reached into her gray,baggy cloak that the council wears as uniforms, and handed Druen a large,white envelope."What do you mean 'next target'? Are they planning on universal domination and their gonna use our home as base of operations?" Druen asked Pera as she gave him a wrinkly scowl and replied,"No, their only a small race, a band of pirates scavenging and hunting off wealthy and resourceful planets to sell off and get filthy rich."

Druen looked inside and read the looked up baffled and told Pera,"Are you serious?! their going for Earth?! but its barely worth anything!And the race there are barely worth calling 'citizens'."He looked at Pera seeing that the look on her face meant extreme sat up and said,"The planet might not be worth much, and the citizens of that world might be young, but that's not all the Rogues are after Earth's water supply." After that brief moment, Druen looked at Pera with dread,and confusion of how the Rogues were that terrifying.

"Other than our own planet,Earth is one of the most life filled planets in our entire planet is mainly 70% water,and with that much water to sell off to whoever has the money, would make them and the Fire Dracnee very is what I'm going to suggest in our postponed meeting, is that we send the D.S.F to make contact with earth."

After Pera was done speaking ,Druen thought it over and..it wasn't half the D.S.F to guard Earth would hold off the Rogue and Fire Dracnee's reign of Druen would suggest bringing only half of the fleet, so we have enough to defend our own then replied,"Alright then!When does the meeting restart?" Pera looked at the time and said,"Right about don't worry about Luceal, Druen,he'll be just fine;he's actually what were also going to discuss in our meeting."

That then was more interesting and nerve racking than the Rogue domination plan and Earth protection service combined.
