Prologue: The Beginning
'I was there. I tried to save the island but I failed. I was attacked and later went unconscious after talking to Jake and Rose while infiltrating that lair. In there, I found a child. It didn't take me long to figure out who the child belonged to. I went unconscious a few moments after that unfortunately so I couldn't tell Jake everything I knew. I flew away to find him only to see him entering the lair with Rose. I flew in after them only to be knocked out moments later.
I awoke a few moments later in a mansion that looked all too familiar. It was the same mansion that I trained with my grandfather in. Well, at least I thought it was my grandfather. It turned out that who I thought were my father and grandfather was just really the Dark Dragon using shape-shifting powers. The room I was in was the one that I stayed in whenever I used to stay the night after training.
I got up off the ground and noticed a cradle in the corner. It was the same child I saw on the Isle of Draco. I knew right then and there that I would be the one to take care of it. What I didn't know was what horrible things awaited me during my stay in this mansion…'
