  In a far off world called Fare Demons ruled with an Empire that expanded across the southern continent of the planet called Phobis until the humans slaves toppled it and sealed the Demons beyond the Demon Gate in what is known as the Demon War. The humans were lead by six heroes that eventually founded the Seraphim Empire in place of the demons and at first they flourished. Until an army from the northern continent invaded and occupied the northern section of the Empire, with the Empire now at war with the North the rest of the Empire started growing unstable and rebellions kept appearing while until the Empire was a shell of itself and five kingdoms and another Empire appeared alongside the Seraphim Empire. Since then the Kingdoms have lived in peace until now. In the Seraphim Empire the Emperor has died and been succeeded by his eldest son who has started invading its neighbouring kingdoms and has begun invading the Aria Empire. There is more to the war then people think as an unseen force pulls the strings…..​

  Seraphim Empire​
  The Seraphim Empire is the Empire that was founded after the Demon War and largest nation located in the Southern reaches of the continent. Following the Demon Wars the Empire has slowly lost its territory until it was a shell of what it was, but now the new Emperor has begun a Campaign to retake its former territory.​
  ​
  The Seraphim Empire military is known as the most powerful military force on the continent. Dragons are native to the country and as a result, the Seraphim Empire army rears these mighty beasts as partners for their Dragon Riders, further increasing their military power. It’s also the only country to practice all three arts of magic in large scale and uses the magic to create powerful large airships that are used to bomb ground armies. The Seraphim Empire’s capital is stationed in the mountains, making it near impenetrable. Over the centuries the Empire has been building up its armies in preparation for when it would eventually retake Phobis.​
  ​
  The Sealed Isle is a remote island of the Coast of Seraphim in the South that was once the Capital of an Empire that came before the Demons and where the Demon's Gate is located. The current Emperor has rebuilt the citadel there and is using this island as his base of operations while he plots his secret campaign. The island is notoriously difficult for ships to sail to and is a death sentence for inexperienced sailors and adventurers. The island is the origin of dark magic and is where the Imperial Church has been perfecting dark magic to best the other nations. To its north are the Kingdoms Vain and Xamia.​
  ​
  Xamia Empire​
  The Xamia Empire is a medium sized monarchy bordering the Seraphim Empire, Ungrate Desert and the Kingdom of Vain. When the Seraphim Empire begun its invasion the prince of Xamia killed his father and surrendered to the Seraphim Empire. Xamia is divided into urban and agricultural sections. The Emperor rules from the Capital city of Xamia Keep, deep within the country. Many fringe cities line the edge of Xamia's borders; many of these are comprised of farmland. There are many lakes which border Castle Ren in the Vain-Xamia border at the northern edge of the country. Currently its territory has been under the control of the Seraphim Empire for twenty years.​
  ​
  Vain Kingdom​
  Vain is a kingdom that is located in the southern section of the continent with Ungrate Desert to the north, Xamia to the south-west and Seraphim Empire to its south. The Kingdom of Vain was ruled by Xemit, the peerless Warrior King. It enjoyed a long-standing treaty with its southern neighbour Seraphim until recently, when Seraphim, under the command of the Emperor, invaded Vain and killed King Xemit. Currently its territory has been under the control of the Seraphim Empire for eight years.​
  ​
  Vision Kingdom​
  Vision Kingdom is the second largest country in the far west. Its capital city is Jahlia. The Kingdom of Vision is known to have established itself as a country of artisans and is famous for the Angla Church, which is based there. The Vision Kingdom Military has three generals, who are appointed by the King.​
  ​
  It may be noted that Light Magic is often associated with Vision Kingdom, due to the presence of the Angla Church and thus several famous light magic users having a form of connection to Vision through their membership in the church.​
  ​
  The Western Isles are an archipelago of three separate islands off the coast of Vision and was originally colonized by the Seraphim Empire but has since fallen to Vision. Falberina is the largest of the three islands. Caledonia lies to the south and it is where Castle Eduna is situated. Grina, the smallest island, is located to the north. The islands are rich in minerals and resources, although piracy and banditry often occurs in the islands.​
  ​
  Since the Western Isles are water locked and isolated from other countries, it is hard for even the mighty Vision to keep a firm grasp on the law of the land and with its intricate system of small islands, it makes a perfect haven for pirates to do their bidding.​
  ​
  Saradi Free Lands​
  Saradi Free Lands are home to the nomadic tribes, they are famed swordsmen, as well as horse riders who usually fight from horseback. The Vision Kingdom is to the west and the Saradi Kingdom to its north while the Ungrate Desert is to the east and south. Originally part of the Saradi Kingdom the nomadic tribes managed to force the Saradi Kingdom out with support from the Seraphim Empire. Currently the nomadic tribes are uniting to support the Seraphim Empire.​
  ​
  Saradi Kingdom​
  The Saradi Kingdom is the third largest kingdom, it is a desert nation located in the central region of the continent and expanding west and bordering Vision and the Saradi Free Lands, to its direct East and north is the Ungrate Desert. As a desert nation, the country is well known for its mercenary guilds, of which the Queen is the highest Guild master. Currently it is preparing for war with the Seraphim Empire.​
  ​
  Deria Alliance​
  Deria Kingdom is the fourth largest country on the continent and inhabits most of the Northern Region. It was the landing point for the army from the northern continent. It lacks the unity of the other nations and consists of many fledging kingdoms vying for power, usually weak the kingdom unties whenever a foreign power tries to invade or when a strong ruler unites the land for a crusade south.​
  ​
  Aria Empire​
  The Aria Empire is a theocracy dedicated to the goddess Ariana. Aria is the fifth largest nation on the continent and is the only country located in the east, and only has borders with Deria and the Ungrate Desert. The Seraphim has recently launched a surprise invasion against the Aria Empire and so far the Aria Empire has not been able to slow their advance and has suffered heavy losses.​
  ​
  Ungrate Desert​
  The Ungrate desert is in the centre of the continent, it is harsh and almost impossible to live in for though it does have a vast wildlife that cannot be found anywhere else.​
  ​
  Ilium​
  Ilium is the only other known human continent located north of Phobis and is the origin of humanity. It has been reduced to a barren and icy wasteland. Its cities and towns have been destroyed and the country's harsh snowy weather makes it impossible to farm anything, the last scraps of humanity formed the army that took the Northern Region of Phobis and formed the Deria Alliance. It was once home to the first human Empire that rivalled the Demon Empire in everyway, but the two eventually went to war that the humans lost. The Demons took half the remaining human population to Phobis to rebuild their own empire while cursing Ilium with a dark spell called Eternal Winter that eventually drove out the remaining humans.​
  ​
  Animas​
  Anima is a continent located west of is the origin of the Ancients or as they were originally called Alia, they left their continent for unknown reasons and settled on Phobis. The people who live there now are an offshoot of the Ancients during the Ancient-Demon war who escaped the Ancient’s capital on Tara Island (Now known as Sealed Isle) during the final days of the war and now call themselves the Anima, they have slowly rebuilt their people and only now have made slight contact with the humans of Phobis. They unfortunately lost almost all of their magical knowledge during the war.​
  ​

  Gaia Magic​
  Gaia Magic is the most basic magic brought to the world by a now extinct race. It uses the power of the world to manipulate the world according to the users will but is very limited, though it is also used to enchant weapons and is also the main source of power for the Seraphim Airships.​
  ​
  Light Magic​
  Light Magic was thought to be created in humanities rebellion against the demons and was designed to kill demons and protect humans, so it is seen as a holy art by most people but in truth it was actually created by demon rebels as a variant of Dark Magic taught their human allies, historians later changed these demons into the gods that humans have come to worship as to hide the origin of Light Magic. Light magic usually manifests as a blinding burning light or a massive inferno, or both. It is also capable of easily healing people.​
  ​
  Dark Magic​
  Dark Magic was created by Demons during their war with their ancient creators and tipped the war in the favour. It was created to devastate Ancients, Dragons, Humans and any demons that allied with them. Many humans condemn Dark Magic but some cults practice it and the Imperial Church has recently begun teaching it. It usually manifests as physical shadows or black goo. It is also capable of summoning monsters and corrupting animals to do the casters bidding.​
  ​

  Demons​
  Demons where originally created by a now thought extinct Ancient race that the Demons rebelled against and wiped out. The Demons managed to create their own magic and used it to create a parallel world called Ria where they resided for thousands of years. Eventually the Demons split into two factions, ones that regretted destroying their creators and other that believed they should return to fare and conquer the planet. The extreme faction eventually left their world and repapered in Phobis which was now inhabited by a Dragon Empire. Realizing the Dragons could be a threat they had a war with the dragons and wiped most of them out, leaving a few as wild animals in the south. They built their own Empire over the remains of the Dragon Empire and also remained connected with the more reluctant demons that remained in the parallel world. They then discovered the Northern Continent Ilium and discovered that its inhabitants looked much like their creators, insulted they enslaved the humans out in a war and used them to rebuild their Empire.​
  ​
  It was at this point the demons that returned to Fare realized they could no longer reproduce, even though the demons in Ria still could. It was at this point the humans rebelled against the demons. No longer able to sustain their numbers and the heavy demon casualties from the humans light magic eventually forced the remaining demons to retreat to Ria threw the Demon gate as the Humans sealed it behind them.​
  ​
  All demons don’t suffer from aging. Each Demon has a unique ability that can range from mundane to extreme and has two forms, a monstrous form and a more human like form. The human form is capable of looking completely normal or carry traits of their monstrous form. It depends on the demon.​
  ​
  Dragons​
  Dragons came from a far off continent and built their new Empire on Fare long after the Ancients had been wiped out and the Demons exodus. For many years they lived in harmony until the Demons returned. At first the Dragons tried to make peace but eventually they committed to the war, but at that point the war was already lost as their cities were levelled to the ground. Most of the surviving Dragons fled across the ocean to find a new land while the few thousands that remained fought the demons till only a handful remained. As a final insult the demons erased their knowledge from the Dragons and reduced them to the mentality of animals. Once the demons were driven off fare the Humans started using the dragons as mounts.​
  ​
  Dragons once had the ability to transform between human form and their dragon form. They lost it when the demons wiped their minds, though there is a rumour that intelligent dragons are returning. All dragons could use Gaia Magic to devastating levels.​
  ​
  Anima​
  The Anima are the primary descendants of the Alia or Ancients, and determining when Alia history ended and where Anima history began is nigh impossible. They led the remnants of the Alia Empire located on the other continents named the Animus Empire ruled by the Anima, but it was crushed by many rebellions of their slave races like the humans of Ilium and most of the Alia and Anima on the other continents returned to Animas, were absorbed by the new races or destroyed. The Anima have risen again and re-established the Animus Empire but carefully branching out and scouting the other nations instead of simply invading. Other scattered descendants of the Phobis and Ilium survivors of are located in most countries.​
  ​
  The Anima look almost identical to humans except they are shorter and have slightly pointed ears, hey keep their ties to the Alia or Ancient secret.​
  ​
  Orcgian​
  During the Alia-Demon war many Alia where captured and experimented on by the Demons and turned into the Orcgians. The first Orcgians were created when the Demons wanted fresh cannon fodder for the war and turned many of their prisoners into Orcgians to be this, but the transformation sent them mad and eventually the Demons gave up on them and exterminated them so they could focus on the war, but many survived and fled to the Ungrate Desert. When the Dragons arrived on Phobis the Orcgains attempted a war against them but were driven back, but the dragons could never finish them off, same thing happened when the Demons returned. But during the Demons rule they slowly lost their madness and started serving the Demons who gave them knowledge and they built a city in the Ungrate desert, but when the Humans rebelled the Orcgain abandoned the Demons and fortified their city and used magic to make the desert uninhabitable to anyone but them, occasionally they send raids out against nearby Human Kingdoms but for the most part they keep to themselves.​
  ​
  Orcgains are usually very large and have skin that varies between green and brown.​
  ​
  Vampires​
  Vampire have recently emerged on Phobis, Vampires are powerful beings, fiercely independent and incredibly individualistic, even the weakest one has power beyond that of any normal human, to them humans are little more than cattle to be harvested, and yet they hide in the shadows of human society, parasites that stalk the night. Though they drink blood they aren’t actually dependant on it, it’s more of an addiction the makes them temporarily stronger. The vampires are weaker in sunlight but don’t die from it, but in their weakened state humans can fight them easily.​
  ​
  All vampires have pale skin and red eyes, they have conclaves hidden threw out Phobis.​

  Name: Emperor Gabriel Heming Vaunt Seraphim the VIII​
  Gender: Male​

  Weapons: Durandal (A large two handed Claymore)​
  Appearance: Gabriel is a tall and well built man, he usually wear black heavy armor even when in the throne room. He has blonde short hair and blue eyes.​
  Nationality: Seraphim​
  Personality: Gabriel is a very quiet person, the most he speaks is at the war councils and he mostly keeps to himself, except when he is with his wife who he has a soft spot for.​
  Bio: Gabriel was the heir to the Seraphim throne, and the son of Empress Ryiola. Gabriel was a very gifted child, and it was obvious that he would become a fine ruler of Seraphim Empire. However, his spiteful father Emperor Cain Seraphim tried to stop him from taking the throne since his father had a mistress who had bore him a child and he wanted that child to take the throne instead. Gabriel and his half-sister loved each other dearly, but Cain also wanted to bring an end to their contact and eventually made it impossible for them to interact.​
  ​
  At Gabriel’s coming of age feast Cain attempted an assassination by handing his son a goblet of poisoned wine. Gabriel fell ill from the poison, but did not die. However, with the help of his close allies who had grown tired of cain, he stayed in hiding and had a false funeral arranged. When Cain stepped up to the casket to view Gabriel's body at the funeral, Gabriel, now in a lust for revenge, rose and stabbed his father to death.​
  ​
  Following his father’s death his supporters killed his father’s mistress but he managed to reach his half-sister in time and had her exiled for her own protection. Now the new Emperor he started by building the new fortress on Sealed Isle and with the armies his father had built up launched an invasion of The Xamia Empire. The Xamia Empire was caught off guard and most of its armies crushed, Gabriel offered its leader the chance to surrender but he refused and continued the war, but Gabriel had a backup plan, rather than crush the Xamia armies and make the remaining people hate him he convinced the Xamia’s prince to betray his father to save the Xamia people, the prince assassinated his father and in the confusion Seraphim troops took out the remaining Xamia officer still committed to fighting the war without destroying the armies. He then aided the rebuild of towns and cities and had the remaining armies of Xamia slowly intergratted themselves into the Seraphim army. He then spread rumours that Xamia’s ruler had been conspiring with demons and the people of Xamia started blaming their former ruler for the war and so Gabriel had Xamia’s prince installed as a Hero as the now reinforced Seraphim-Xamia army now spread slowly into the Vain Kingdom.​
  ​
  The war with the Vain Kingdom was a lot slower since Gabriel ordered his generals to avoid attacking cities. Eventually this worked in his favour as the people eventually rebelled against Vain and after years of war Vain was now part of the Empire. Gabriel personally killed Vain’s king and then returned to Sealed Isle and let his Generals deal with the invasion of the Aria Empire.​

Vitan looked up at the sky wondering how much longer he could look at the world, how much longer he would have to wait before he saw his father again... if there was anything after death, that is. Vitan had been day dreaming for a while, but he decided to review his surroundings. The city was ever so busy with criminals and mercenaries. But that was normal... what wasn't normal was the military presence. Even though it was the Saradi army, it was still strange to see. Vitan had already signed himself up, but he had never been in battle. Vitan knew that only his sword could help him in battle... if he only knew how to use it.

*********************

On the Sealed Isle, behind all the walls and magnificence of the Citadel lied the demon gate, unused for years since the monsters who enslaved humanity had crept back into their own realm, to face the demons who had rebuked such horrid behavior. The gate showed its age and its decay... however suddenly, old cogs and gears began to turn. Darkness started to spew, a portal formed, and a creature crept out of the world he called home and into a world filled with humans. Bheliar walked out of the portal, his intentions clear, and his demeanor somber. Bheliar noticed a gaurd sitting by the gate, asleep and unaware. Bheliar quickly and quietly snapped his neck and turned himself into a shadow on the wall, attempting to escape the fortress.

 

Alastair arrived at a Saradi city, his travelling companion and dragon remaining far away from the city as to not attract attention. He had only left vision the other day and would rather not attract attention before his returned to gather allies, all he wanted to do was gather supplies for his trip across the desert in a few days. “Hey you!” a guard called out in his direction, though calling him a guard was a stretch, he was a mercenary wearing army colours at best. “What?” he asked impatiently as the guard and his cronies approached.
“You’re a foreigner and all foreigners must pay a small discreet tax to enter and shop in this city” The guard said, his friends snickering.
“So in other words you’re really trying to extort money from me?” Alastair asked bluntly.
“No” the Guard said quickly “This is a legitimate tax to help fund the guards that protect the city, without it you might find yourself without our protection”
“Not that I need protect, but what you are really saying is that if I don’t pay your extortion you will have me attacked in a dark alley somewhere” he said as he walked past the guards and headed into the market place.

Mya was meditating in a garden somewhere in the Vision Monastery. It was a morning routine for her to come out into the garden to meditate. It was going well until a small purr interrupted her thoughts as he opened one eye and saw a white cat staring at her. She sighed and picked up the cat, scratching its head. Ahh man...what am I gonna do with you Tammie. I'm not gonna be here forever, but I might if you keep interrupting my morning meditations. She smiled, watching the cat purr in delight as she continued scratching its head. She originally hated animals, but living with one for so many years really gives you no choice. Cmon Tammie. Why don't we have breakfast together? She placed it back down as she walked back into the monastery with Tammie following her in as well.

 

Dusty sand brushed against pale skin, a lapis blue wave of fabric danced in the wind as Suri stood atop a dune right outside a dry thicket of thorns where cicadas could be heard hissing among the thorny coils. Suri stared up into the turquoise sky, her minty eyes watching a lonely buzzard glide effortlessly in the azure abyss.

A eerie clucking sound slipped out from within the thicket that was followed by a loud hiss as suddenly something flew out of the thicket at Suri, giving her little time to react as she was knocked back into the sand. Suri quickly rolled over and shot a blast of blue fire from her finger tips as her eyes met with the silhouette of a massive serpentine creature that seemed to be comprised of hundreds of skulls and bones. The serpent jerked back when hit by the flame and hissed as Suri jumped up, trying to move out of striking range. The serpent wormed through the sand as if it were water with dangerous speed as it pursued the girl. When it moved to strike again a orange rope of energy wrapped around the snake's neck, holding it back as the creature began to glow. The glowing got even more intense till the serpent's bony frame shattered, leaving charred pieces of bones immersed in the sand. A grey eyed man in the prime of his life stepped out of the thorny thicket, acknowledging Suri who strangely enough didn't appear to be shaken up after the ordeal. " Suri, I thought I told you to go on ahead to the city. Its too dangerous to meddle in territory full of dark witch doctors and sorcerers..." Alux said as Suri sighed. " But I wanted to help out for once..." Suri said as Alux held a hand to his forehead and sighed deeply before he started to walk down the side of the dune. " Never mind that Suri, lets get moving.." Alux said as Suri nodded and followed in pursuit as the two made their way. 30 minutes passed before they reached the outskirts of the city. The first thing Alux did once inside of the city was walk into a nearby Tavern, leaving Suri outside on the street where she waited next to a oil vendor.

 

Vitan walked through the market place gathering supplies. Who knew when they would depart for battle? Vitan had to be prepared at all times. Vitan moved through the hustle of the street, attempting to get to his destination. Suddenly a man cried out "GET BACK HERE! YOU DIDN'T PAY FOR THAT!" A woman suddenly ran towards Vitan and pushed him out of the way. Vitan was then knocked into a man wearing all black. Vitan quickly regained his footing and turned back to the man in black. "Oh, sorry about that sir."

 

“If they want to kill me they will have to try harder than pushing me into the ground” Alastair said standing back up and dusting his clothes off, his bag of freshly bought food spilt all over the ground. Alastair looked down on his now spoiled fresh food “No” was all he said quietly as despair entered him “Now how am I meant to cross the desert?” He asked himself, the food wasn’t meant for him, it was meant for his dragon and she would be too picky to it now, ‘Maybe I could feed this guy to her’ he thought to himself.

 

Vitan examined the man and noticed his... oddities... Then Vitan looked down at where the man was looking. Vitan felt even worse. "Oh my... listen sir, I'm sorry, I have some loose change in this can, take what you lost, if its even in there." Vitan offered, honestly. He couldn't believe that this had happened! What if he lost all his money to this stranger? 'Oh! Why did I have to be so nice to this nobody!' Vitan thought to himself. He still needed the money for his potions.

 

Alastair looked the man over before gathering and dusting of the food, for a human these were still edible but his dragon, no. "Here" he said as he handed the man the sack of food "You need this more then me from the looks of you" he said as left to buy his provisions again "And watch where you walk in the future" he added as he bought another sack, he had plenty of money this was hardly a dent in his pocket.

 

Vitan was almost shocked. He had knocked this man over, yet the man was handing Vitan food? "Uh, wow, thank you sir! Thank you very much!" Vitan took the sack of food and then began eating some of the fruits. Dirt was common on most of the food Vitan ate, but these were especially clean even though they had been dropped on the ground. Vitan looked over then man as he ate. Black hair, black outfit... this man was dressed very unusually. He also had a very nicely crafted sword. Vitan could tell since he had helped his father work on swords for so many years. As he observed the man, his curiosity grew. "So, where are you from?"

 

"Aria" Alastair said as he stood at one of the stalls stocking up on meat again "And Seraphim" he added quietly as he paid the vendor and moved to another stall. Just as he finished again the same guard from before came back. He had more guards with him then before. Before anyone did anything Alastair pulled out a small wood whistle and blew into it, it didn't make any noise as the guards surrounded Alastair and the young soldier Vitan. "Time to pay up" the Guard said.
"I feel like we have been here before" Alastair said sarcastically.

 

A hush fell over the vendor and Vitan when the man mentioned Seraphim. However, that silence was quickly broken when the "gaurds" came along. Vitan was completely unaware of what was going on, but he was suddenly put in the middle of this affair and he didn't like it. "Um, are these friends of yours?" The gaurds surrounded him and the man. Vitan held his sword, ready for any approaching attack. Yet he felt he should be more scared of the man from Seraphim than the gang of riff rafs.

 

"Nope" Alastair said just before a loud roar echoed threw the whole city as a black dragon flew over the city, people screamed and ran for cover as the dragon landed in the market place and let out another roar, the guards all took cover as Alastair walked up the dragon. The dragon had a saddle on its back and Alastair tied his sack of food to it as the Dragon eyed the people trying to hide from it "No eating" he told the dragon as he scanned the market "This is not going to go over well" he said to himself.

 

Vitan took cover as well. A dragon?! What was that doing there? Vitan looked over to the man "Is that your beast? Why did you bring him here?! People are going to be really upset and if you don't get that thing out of here soon, the military will come and take you and it out! Don't you understand that this is seen as a threat! Especially coming from a man from Seraphim!!!"

 

After being ditched in the street by her drunkard teacher, Suri decided she might as well explore and come back later when Alux was finished taking care of his business. The soles of her leather boots pattered softly against the rustic path, she was quietly humming to herself as she walked down the street. She did not appear to be alarmed when some of the natives started to flee down the streets past her. " I wonder whats going on... " Suri thought as she drew closer and stopped at the intersection between a plaza and the road she had come down. Suri stood in the shade of a overhanging drape and looked on in the shadow,curious about the commotion that was happening before her.

 

The Dragon looked at Vitan and walked closer to him, as if it was about to eat prey "Alyssa, no" he said patting it on the side "No need to worry, I'm leaving, I can see when I'm not welcome" he said mounting the saddle as the dragons flew up, the wind blowing threw the market as vendor stores were destroyed. Alastair flied until he was a few minutes away from the city and landed in a small oasis as he dismounted and started counting the coin he had left.

 

Vitan looked in wonder and amazement as the dragon took flight and zoomed out of sight. The man had truly not been here to make trouble, though Vitan had his suspicians before. Vitan turned around only to find the group of bandits behind him. "Your buddy left, but now we're going to make you pay for all the expenses!" Vitan, however, was no threatened. He had know these kind of thugs all his life, they were no threat to him. Vitan simply pulled out his sword and swiped it in their direction. From the sword, a huge gust of wind was created knocking all the bandits off their feet and onto the ground. "Don't tempt me to use this weapon at close range..." Vitan threatened. But it was enough, the thugs got up and ran. At least they were smart.

 

Suri marveled at the sight of the dragon drifting into the turquoise sky. She stayed hidden in the shade, waiting for it to be safe enough to walk in the streets without being pulled into the commotion. Once the thugs had run off, Suri deemed the coast to be clear and walked out from beneath the overhanging drape and stepped out cautiously into the middle of the area. She spotted something glitter in the dusty road, causing her to bend down and pick it up. Suri turned the shimmering object around in her hand, it was a dragon's scale, probably left by the dragon who had aided the man in his get away earlier.

 

Vitan turned around to view the damage caused by the dragon when he saw a beautiful woman kneeling down in the streets. He noticed her grab at something from the ground. Vitan became curious. He walked up behind her and examined the shimmering object held in her hand. "Excuse me ma'am, what is that?" he asked her.

Meanwhile a military squad began interogating locals around the area, trying to learn the reasons for why the dragon appeared. Acting as the main police force, since the city had been without guards for decades.

 

Suri spun around when she heard the mans voice and stood with the dragon scale still in her hand, its surface glinting from the sun. " I think its a dragon scale left by the dragon who was here only moments ago. " Suri said while tucking it away inside of her messenger bag. " I will be of good use to me..."
