Just so I don't have to say it every chapter…
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT, IN ANY WAY, OWN THE LEGEND OF DRAGOON.
One day, Kieth learned about a legend about the Emerald Dragon. Joel was supposed to meet up with him. When Kieth met up with him he told him about the legend and asked if he had ever heard about it. Joel told him that the dragon has killed his parents.
Thirteen years ago…
"Joel you stay here and don't come out until tomorrow" said his father. His mother said that they'd come back. The next morning Joel woke up. "Mom! Dad!" He yelled. There was no answer. Joel looked around but saw nothing but rubble. Then he saw his mom and dad dead on the ground. His dad had a jewel around his burnt up neck. Joel picked it up off of him and held on to it as a memento. All he remembered was a big Emerald colored Dragon.
