idea, and if you do, then tell me in a review, and I'll get back to this.
Alright then, enough of my rambling, here ya go!
Prologue: The Winds of the Four Corners
An old woman stood before a large bookcase, she looked to be in her eighties, with graying hair and wrinkled skin. Her clothing consisted of a long white dress, with red trimmings and a grey sash. She picked up a book off the shelf and begins too speak.
"You wish to hear a story young ones" She asks, "Alright then, I will tell you one...this is a story of when the world was young, and a young princess, along with a young man, found there destiny, in the world...and with each other..."
******************BREATH OF FIRE: THE DRAGON WAR******************
It was the year 1560 ADW (After Dragon War), and the lands, for now, were at peace. The west, controlled by the Humans, was building rapidly in technology, and surpassing every other nation in terms of knowledge of machines, but very low in terms of the power of magic, and scripture, for with the expanding of technology, there faith, was all but lost. With great will power and knowledge, though, they were able to create weapons of great power, almost as much as magic, with there greatest creation, the bomb. Armed with guns and computers this race would be a very powerful opponent, if not for there loss of magic power. For each nation, even the Worrens, could control magic. Still, they moved on, because of one Scientist, Mr. John Darone, the king's brother, who found a way to infuse magic into humans. Yet, no one, except for the high officials, had the zenny to pay for it. There king, the great Mason Darone III, was one of these men, with the ability to call upon the earth, but only to an extent. Yet even so, the race had almost no faith, and no belief in the world's mighty Goddess. Though this fact, though, they had allied itself with the powerful nations of the West, and the South.
In the south, it was ruled by the Worrens. Worrens were a cross breed of a tiger, and a human, but have been able to form there own race. With great intellect, and faith in there gods, the Worrens were a race that was not to be reckoned with, even if there were more primitive then any of the other races in terms of living. Worrens had great, unsurpassed strength, no mater who challenge them, except, for one race, but that race has no important right now in my story young ones. The Worrens had one thing that separated them from the other races, besides them being half breeds. They had the ability to transform themselves into powerful beasts known as Weretigers. Still, it is a gift not given to many Worrens, and when it is given, that Worren automatically becomes Chief, and his blood line will follow after him. The Worrens were very trusting, and friendly, but if you betrayed them.all hell would brake loose. That is why nations tried to keep good ties with them, not that they didn't want to anyway.
The East was the land of magic and force. The East was the missing link between the West and the South. It was ruled by the Windians. The Windians were a race closest to humans, but the only thing separating them, were the bright, white wings on there backs. Windians were able to call upon the powers of nature, and create what was called magic. They lived in peace most of the time, trying to stay neutral in times of war, but if that's what it came down to, they would hold nothing back. With the kind King Gabriel Windora XI as there leader, and his two children Prince Daric and Princess Nina, the kingdom prospered and grew in it's relations with other nations, making it the leader of the World Alliance. This nation decided that if the world was to truly become peaceful, then it would have to become a unit, one in the same with each nation. So, it came to pass that five times a year, the leaders of each kingdom, big and small, would meet on equal terms. Other kingdoms sat across the world, and each was equal in this alliance.
Still...all things are never known. The North, as it were, had no ruler, and no races, at least, that's what was thought. For you see no one had ever been brave enough to travel to the North, and anyone who was, never returned. As people would see in the sky some nights, if a person were to look north, would see bright, streaming lights moving across the sky. No one, not even the powerful Windians could say what it truly was. Then, after five years of its first sighting, a rumor began to spread about the lights that made people cringe in fear at the sound...Dragons.
Dragons were a race that lived in the East, with the Windians backing them at every turn and visa versa. Yet, the Dragons were a sly, cunning race. They, unlike the other races, had the power to speak with there God, having that advantage as well. In time, Dragons began to think themselves superior to other races, and began to attack them...even the Windians. Dragons are not as many people would think them to be though. They are not monsters; they are human, in a way. In every appearance they look human, act human, but, they have one, horrible power, the ability to transform themselves into powerful Dragon Hybrids, and with the ability to call upon a full dragon form for a short while, these beings seemed unstoppable. There Leader, Veru, was the most powerful of them all, being able to call upon the most powerful dragon of the time, the Kaiser Dragon. All races fought against them, and failed again and again to stop them. Many of each race, the Worrens, Humans, Windians, Dogoras (Dog Men), and every other race, of kingdoms big and small, lost many solders. The kings and queens had no idea how to stop the dragon's, that's when the Princess of Windia, the son of the chief of Worrent, and the King of New York, all decided to go stop the king of dragons Veru himself. After a year of training, and learning the ways Dragons fought, they stormed the Dragon Capital and fought with Veru himself. Though the battle was long and hard, no one knew what went on between the fighters, but in the end, the three warriors were the victors, and Veru had vanished. A few days later, the rest of the Dragons vanished; no trace was ever left of them, but the Windian princess gave the king a strange message that were Veru's last words, he said "When the Wind blows black; I will be reborn to stop you and send your races to the fiery pit as you have sent mine!". So for three years they waited, but nothing ever came, and eventually, it became forgotten. Now, 1560 years later, people began to become afraid that the Dragons would be coming back...
Then, In the midst of the Chaos, Daric, the prince of the Windian nation, said that he would travel to the North, to see what the lights were, and come back and tell the world of it. So, with three guards, and the best weapons and armor Windia could offer, he began his journey...a year had passed...and he never returned. Now, two years later, his sister, the Princess Nina, begins to wonder, and now, on her nineteenth birthday, she decides to find things out for herself...
*alright, that's just a prologue, tell me if it sounds like a good idea, cause I'm not real sure, ha-ha, anyway, R&R so...yeah I'm done*
