Prologue

Once upon a time, dragons and humans lived peacefully on the same continent. Though very different, they both stayed clear of each other's way and went about their lives as usual. But as time went by, the humans become greedy and corrupted. They desired more land, to build their castles, to plant their fields and to take over anyone and anything. The years passed and slowly the dragons and their lands diminished. As mankind became more and more power hungry, they realized that with the dragons gone, they could rule the entire continent. War was declared and the dragons wee defeated. Those that survived stayed hidden, mourning the death of their kind while the humans rejoiced their tainted victory. But that was hundreds of years ago. Surely it had been put in the past. However there were still those with ancestors who had fought beside the dragons. They longed for peace and prosperity, for justice and love. But for them, it never came. And so the few remaining families vowed to avenge the dragons by slowly destroying the countries and citizens residing in them, much like the humans did before. These families would slowly pick off surrounding villages, one by one and take the remaining land for themselves in honor of the dragons. As even more time passed, the families died out leaving only one left. The family of Zephyr, the powerful king of Bern.
