As an apology of sorts for keeping everyone in suspense and waiting for updates, I'm going to attempt to post this story slowly.
Ryou: As of today, PhantomBrat currently has 17 other chapters typed and ready.
Mokuba: She plans on posting updates to this whenever she can't post for her other fanfics as a means to make up for the others.
Malik: So please don't ask for updates or faster posts as it does get discouraging for her.
Also, posting will be sporadic and I may go as much as two weeks on updating anything.
Yami: She is posting the Prologue and Chapter 1, leaving chapters 2-17 waiting in the list to post for later.
Joey: Enjoy!
Dragon Breeding Guide
Water Dragons are a Pure Branch and can breed with Light, Sky, Storm, Darkness, Night, Shadow, Earth and other Water Dragons. These are varying shades of light to medium blues.
Earth Dragons are also a Pure Branch and are known to breed with Fire, Water and other Earth Dragons. Known colorations are varying degrees of 'earth'-tones, generally various shades of browns.
Darkness, Night, and Shadow Dragons are of an Unknown Branch. This is due to the fact that no origins can be found. Many believe that the Darkness Dragons are the Original Branch while others think that Shadow Dragons gave rise to the other two. The three branches can interbreed with others of their branch and with Fire, Water, Storm, or Sky Dragons. These dragons typically vary in shades of grey to pitch black with Darkness Dragons having other colors marking their scales.
Sky Dragons are yet another example of a Pure Branch. They are known to breed with Sky, Light, Water, Darkness, Shadow, Night, and Storm Dragons. Their coloration varies in shades of light blue.
Light Dragons are the rarest of all the Pure Branches, for this reason little is known of them.
Fire Dragons are the last known branch of the Pures. These are generally temperamental with their colors ranging from the darkest of yellows to the deepest of reds. Can breed with Earth, Darkness, and other Fire Dragons.
Mixed-breed Dragons
These include Storm, Ice, and the newly-discovered Crystal Dragons.
Storm Dragons come from the breeding between the Unknown Branch and Water Dragons, Sky Dragons and other Storm Dragons, or two unrelated Storm Dragons. These are the most common of the Mixed-Breeds. Their colors are a stormy gray.
Crystal Dragons are a newly-discovered branch. Little is known of their origins.
Ice Dragons, a very rare branch of the dragons. Only known to be the result of the breeding between the Unknown Branch and a Water Dragon. Few survive high temperatures as Hatchlings. Even rarer are male Ice Dragons. Their colorations are unknown as few have ever been seen or documented.
All dragons with specific markings on their eggs before being hatched will have said marking somewhere upon their bodies. Oftentimes, a dragon egg will indicate the coloration of the dragon contained within.
The High Dragon King
The last known High King of the Dragons was a Light Dragon by the name of Sugoroku. His chosen heir was a Water Dragon named Aquariania. Unfortunately, the right to rule over all dragons belongs only to the males. The High Dragon King allowed Aquariania to keep her position so long as she found a mate he approved of. She met Yami Atemu while said dragon was hunting a few miles south of the Egyptian Palace. Sugoroku immediately approved of Yami Atemu as this new male was a Darkness Dragon bound to the Pharaoh of the land.
The Light Dragon, after bestowing his title upon Yami, left to join the Council of the Elder Dragons. Yami had understood that there were seven Dragon Kings, the remaining six were rulers of other regions. These six were under his rule as well as any dragon in his territory. The other Dragon Kings were Leviathan of Atlantis, Bakura of the Eastern Mountains, Marik of the Northern Mountains, Ishizu of the Southern Deserts, Criteas of the Western Lands. Bakura and Marik stayed in the Central Mountains with their Bonded Elves as it was deemed a Shared Territory between the two brothers.
