In the Year of the Dragon, in a world beyond realms... I, like all the others, awaited the birth of the dragon of whom the prophecies foretold.
A Red Dragon, known as Ignitus the fire Guardian, entered the room where all of the eggs born in the year of the dragon where there in their nests, most of the eggs were of red, yellow, blue and green, but there was one whom was different then the others, that one egg…was purple. And that purple egg was the one whom the propecies claimed would bring about the destiny of all the dragon realms. As Ignitus approached it, he proceeded to guard it with such care.
But the Dark Master heard the prophecies as well. I should have hidden the eggs long before, but I... I thought we were ready. I thought they were safe... oh... how I was wrong.
Suddenly the temple itself started to shake as Ignitus started to look around, then he saw the Electric Guardian, Volteer, rushed into the temple to warn his friend.
"Save them! The Dark Armies have come!"
Realising the dark armies of the Dark Master have arrived and knowing why they would dare intrude the temple, Ignitus grabbed the purple egg and began to rush towards outside. However, just after taking no more then a few steps, Ignitus suddenly remembered something, he quickly went into another room and examined around. There his eyes caught sight of a Dark Purplish egg. Sighing in reilef, he grabbed the Black egg too and then he took off for the exit, clutching both eggs like his life depended on it.
Ignitus then reached the exit and flew away from the temple and the raid that was going on in there. He eventually reached to a place called the Silver River and landed gently down. Looking around he noticed two quite large mushrooms. He put the Purple egg in one of them and the Blackish Purple egg in the other one. Ignitus then gently pushed them down the river, to hopefully somewhere where they'll both be safe.
"May the Ancestors look after you! May they look after us all…"
After saying this, Ignitus flew back into the temple, hoping that maybe their will be other eggs he can hopefully save from their demise. However, when the fire dragon returned to the temple, he ended up seeing a horrible sight! He may have saved the purple and black eggs from the raid, but after seeing what he just witnessed, Ignitus still felt that he failed…
The next morning, both the purple and Dark Purple eggs kept floating down the river until they both came apon a distant swamp, there they were both discovered by a family of Dragonflies, both named Flash and Nina where apon seeing the egg, the both wondered what kind of creatures could possibly be living inside.
They didn't have to wait for long…
