The dragons are a noble race. An old race that have been on this planet since it's youngest era. They flew the skies when the neanderthals discovered fire. They ate shepherd's sheep when the Roman Empire was in its prime. They scorched towns of infidels when Charlemagne was king. Dragons eventually found a new land to reside in. A land in a parallel universe, after being shunned and pushed out of Earth. They were hunted, slayed for glory of the human race, and babies had a hard time to grow.

The dragons that remember these times are now in the council elders, a gathering of the four wisest dragons reigning over each major element: fire, water, earth, and air. Ignatious ruled over fire, Zephyr reigned the winds, Tsunumiis commanded the ocean and all of water, and Terruis controlled the earth. Each dragon as wise as the other. They accepted each other as brothers as did all other dragons.

Ryu's birth was different from all the others. A typical dragon birth was that a dragon was born from an egg, but they had a human form when they first born. The Elders would bless the dragon. Then when they would reach matured, a ceremony would be held as they would grow a flame gland in their neck, and wings of their color choice of dragon scales.

When Ryu was born he was born with a magical aura, like everything else did. But Ryu's was abnormally large. His magical aura exceeded the size of a fully grown dragon. But not dying from the overload of magic, he was born normally. The Elders made a prediction that "This dragon will be strong, but will need to be watched over like a shepherd over his flock." They blessed the new born and returned to the council building.
