Ichikaze Taiki: Wyvern Crusaders

Prologue

Years, decades and centuries back, those were the years when dragons ruled the skies, kingdoms held territories and magic were more potent. That time, the world was peaceful but cults believed that that the blissful paradise would be coming to an end.

Xeno'cia, Kingdom of Necromancy, capital of the country, despite its title. The bustling life in the kingdom was just as well as any other kingdoms, great farm harvest, cheerful children, talented musicians and good relations with surrounding kingdoms.

Emergency bells rang as villages and settlements around the kingdom came to a standstill as it was a recall for town leaders and council members to report to the Capital for a dire meeting. As leaders and councilors gather in the royal pagan hall, the crowd started questioning each other for the purpose of the meeting. The hall went dead quiet as a door closed from the front as a hooded silhouette rose to the podium. With an arm up, the silhouette revealed an arm covered in sigils merged in a single magic circle on his palm, at that every moment, the crowd bowed immediately as a sign of respect.

Silhouette: Thank you, my fellow worshipers.

As the silhouette lowers his hand, the crowd rose back to their feet as the Silhouette continues speaking.

Silhouette: I have dreadful news to announce. As you would all know, there has been an increased amount of dragon sightings lately and I regret to inform all of you that we have lost 12 villages and settlements due to dragon attacks.

The crowd went quiet for a moment and began its discussion once more.

The silhouette slammed the podium to regain their attention.

Silhouette: To prevent this further lost, I'm calling upon loyal worshipers to help combat this threat, both physically and magically. Town leaders, I require you to convey this message to your people and neighboring kingdoms, I will call upon your men when you are ready. Dismissed.

The crowd gave a dismissal bow and left the hall, a royal advisor came up behind the silhouette and bows.

Advisor: My Lord, the prophecy is coming true.

The silhouette turned around and smirked briefly.

Silhouette: That's my plan, my dear worshiper. You should know the purpose of this.

The Sigils glow around the silhouette's hand as it disappears into a cloud of violet smoke…
