The Four Races: Part 1
The Dragons
The Dragons existed on Terinta before the first apes
evolved. They were extremely intelligent, innovative, and creative. They built
large cities and ruled over the continent Terina. While they were a powerful
race, the dragons had there flaws. They were the most worldly of the four
races, falling prey to greed, anger, and lust. They were untrusting of change
that they saw as threatening, and they feared what they could not understand.
This would prove dangerous for the dragons when something amazing happened to
their race. Over a ten year span thousands of dragons were born with powerful
gifts that their parents did not have. Some had control over fire, others over
water, while other dragons could turn themselves invisible. All these new
changes caused the older dragons to fear of a takeover. In an act of panic they
banished all the dragons that had powers into the forests of Terina. This led
to a major divide in the race of dragons. The ones with powers felt betrayed
and swore revenge on their ancestors. Six hundred years passed with fear, anger
and strife ruling over the land. It wasn’t until the seven hundredth year of
the banishment did the new powered dragons attack. They waged war on the
capital city of the dragon nation. The battle was brutal and the powered
dragons showed no mercy on their progenitors. One dragon, who was part of the
sub-race of dragons known as the Rainbow Dragons, used a powerful ability of
psychic, telekinetic, and energy manipulation that completely destroyed the
city and all the dragons that were not powered. The energy didn’t stop their
however. It moved over all of Terinta and wiped out all of the original dragons
in one massive wave. Once the powered dragons realized what they had done, they
were horrified. They understood that their hate and bitterness had caused the
extinction of an entire race. As the centuries followed the new dragon races
rebuilt new cities and tried to live in peace for many thousands of years.
Interesting things happened while the dragons lived on Terina, and powerful
deeds were done there. The dragons would live on Terina for many eons, until
the humans came and everything changed…
I love dragons, tell me more!
