Prologue
At one time there existed many clans of dragons, and they all lived among the enormous range of the Kas mountains. One particular clan was called the R'kasi, and upon unexpectedly angering a powerful being, they were cursed. They no longer had their dragon forms, and were instead left in human bodies. Despite their bodies, they were supernaturaly strong for a normal human. Their magic was halved though, and they did not have the protection of a scaly body, sharp claws, or wings. Instead they were forced to learn human crafts, swords, spears, and clothing. On the last night of the year until the morning of the new year, they were able to have their dragon forms back as the curse renewed itself. Because of their curse they were shunned by the other clans and became the Shadowed. Until the day their curse is broken, they would be cast out from the council and the clans.
Eight thousand years later the clan had fully adjusted and adapted to the curse. A normal dragons life span lasted a couple thousand years, but with the new bodies they had human weakness and were only able to live to around 600 years. Because of this, no one could remember a time before the curse. The clan itself had moved away from the mountains, it was impossible to catch the game they normally ate without a dragons speed, and the mountains were no longer able to support them as they were. So they moved to a near-by Kingdom called Rikwen. There, they lived on the outskirts of a small town called Talat.
The people of Talat did not know much of the R'kasi clan, they were certainly very strange, unnatural looks, and too strong to be human. Of course they also claimed to be a cursed clan of dragons, and most of Talat was afraid of them. They managed to get along anyway, and the R'kasi agreed to protect Talat from raiders and criminals if Talat was willing to help them adapt to a human life. This arrangement began thousands of years ago, and to this day, has worked very well. The R'kasi adapted to human life, and continued to protect Talat out of gratitude, and in general, they did not want to leave, nor did Talat want to lose its protectors.

[Present time]
"John, hey John!" A man with shoulder length brown hair called out to another man who was currently walking down the bustling, vendor riddled street.
The blond haired man stopped and turned around to wait for him to catch up. "Hey! What is it Odin, did your wife have the baby yet?" He called back.
"Yes! He's a beautiful baby boy! Biggest blue eyes i've ever seen. ."
"What'd you name him?"
"Oh, Amaya decided for Heero, absolutely beautiful baby. . ."
John laughed at Odin. "You won't be saying that for too long, just wait until he wakes you up in the middle of the night with his crying or fussing."
Odin smiled back at John. "I don't care, we've finally had a baby! I've been waiting so long!"
John clapped Odin on the back. "Well what are you waiting for? Some friend you are, i'd like to meet your boy!"
Odins smile widened as he lead him back to his house to show off his new son.

And so, Heero was born.
