Chapter 3: Era of Drakoopas
The year 1 marks the most important event of the Mainland: The arrival of a new race. This one known as the drakoopas were also known as the saviors for freeing the Mainland from the boos. They once set foot on the mainland. Those majestic-looking koopas had many differences between them just like their standard counterpart. They had similarities though like their muzzles and their spiked shells. Eight families of drakoopas could be distinguished.
First, the necreans: They had flamboyant red hairs and curved horns. Their shells were deep green so were their head. They had the powers to manipulate the deads and banish the boos and used them to protect the people of the Mainland and what remained of mankind there. For their aid and their powers, the koopas gave them the throne of the Koopa Kingdom.
Then, the athleans: Four fangs came out of their feline mouth. Their sky blue hairs matched with their sky blue shell. They were very athletic and good spies. They had a unique sign language that even the most experienced historians cannot decipher all of it to this day. The athleans had the power of earth like the orange wand. They inherited Grassland from the goombas.
The nocteans were the easiest to tell apart from the others. Their dark skin tone went well with their white head with some nocteans even having a star birthmark on their face varying in size as well as their black shell. Those brute-looking beings also shared a crude and simplistic language between each other. Like the red wand, they could control fire. They installed themselves in Sandland and helped the shyguys restore their beloved land by reinforcing their land forces.
The beautean were also another easy family to distinguish from the others. Their orange headhad lips as a mouth that would vary in size with every beautean and they all had a pink shell. They possessed the power of ice to wield the purple wand. Beauteans were invited to help the sea creatures from Sealand to restore the place and improve the sea forces.
The mecheans also had four fangs coming out of their mouth like the athleans but their mouth bore the shape of a snake's. They had green hairs and a shell of the same color. Most of them had sight issue but it did not take too long for them to invent glasses to correct their sight. They had the power to use the yellow wand and control electricity which they used to invent many technologies that would be passed to the wigglers of Woodland hence the land they chose to live in.
The styleans had pink heads and purple shells. They would always be seen wearing shades. Their feline mouth had two fangs coming out of it. They did not control an element in particular since the black wand did not either. They helped the lakitus of Skyland to re-establish their land and build a sky force to be reckoned.
The acreans had multicolor hairs and orange shells. Their snake mouth did not have any fangs coming out of their mouth. They loved to perform circus acts and do magic trick. Like the green wand, they could control the wind. They built a civilization in Iceland to give the penguins a comfortable home and allow foreigners to rest.
Last but least, the museans had deep blue hairs with shells of the same color. A single tooth came out of their feline mouth in the middle. They loved music and gave a huge importance to it while they were helping the piranha plants of Pipeland to rebuild the land. They could control water and the blue wand.
The eight drakoopa families vowed to protect the people of the Mainland and chose to let the Mushroom Kingdom to mankind and the toads. Oddly enough, they would always have a step ahead of King Boo to foil his plans. It seemed to be the end for the boos. They could no longer use their powers to corrupt the souls of fallen people to create more boos. The drakoopas had the power to fight them. Though, even the good things come to an end and this era did not have a pretty one.
In the middle of the second half of the twentieth century, an anomaly occurred between the drakoopa families. In each family, there would always be that one family member that would talk about claiming the entire Mainland and enslave the people. Those ideals clashed between the drakoopas. Tension rose as the drakoopas started arguing with each other. Friends, family, it did not matter. Those disputes turned into fights which led to the event of the Dragon War, one of the deadliest conflicts since King Boo's arrival on the Mainland. Drakoopas started falling. Some drakoopas, knowing the truth but ignored by the others, left the continent and gave up on their royal titles to live peacefully elsewhere. Those who stayed on the Mainland perished. Some survived but their own people, seeing them as no different from the boos but mortal, hunted them down. In the end, it was thought that the drakoopas were extinct thus ending the Era of Drakoopas. There still exists drakoopas out there but, unlike Bowser, these ones are but commoners like anyone else.
