-Northern Portal-

A white fox ran through the thick pile of snow and ahead of him there was a large green forest, the northern portal. Because of its magic barrier, it protected the forest from the heavy snow and freezing temperature in the high mountains of Asken. The fox went through the barrier and his white snow skin turned into a red brown one. The forest was warm unlike the northern region outside the protected shield.

"Lixue! Lixue!" The fox called out to his master and she stopped in front of a woman hovered over her whole throne. Lixue, was the Garcia of the Northern portal and protector of the snow kingdom of Elnelon. The woman had red curly long hair and her body was decorated with many jewels and accessories. "What is it?" Her voice was clearly bored from doing nothing. "Locë is awake!" The fox shouted and Lixue's purple eyes widened and she sat up, "What!?"

Lixue ran as fast as she could, deeper in the forest to the dragon's lair. The last dragons departed from the human realm 500 years ago, but one hatchling was left behind. Lixue couldn't bear to see humans finding out the last remaining dragon and took the hatchling in her forest. She named him Locë, dragon in elvish language, and the young dragon grew as a magnificent and strong one, just like his ancestors.

His beautiful white skin and red wings made human hunters long for a piece of his scales. It said that consuming a scale of a dragon can give a man immortality, but that was a myth humans made. Even though it never was proven before, humans tried to look out for the last living dragon and Locë was badly injured. Luckily, Damhan was on time to attend to his wounds. Due to loss of blood and exhaustion, the dragon fell into a deep slumber and the Garcia of the eastern portal put him to rest in the dragon's lair.

Since then, Locë had been sleeping for more than 300 years and Lixue guarded his lair. The female Garcia ran through the thick forest and she stopped abruptly when she saw familiar backs in front of the dragon's lair, "Damhan!" She shouted in distress and the silver hair flowed gently while his face turned to look at her. "Lixue," his voice as soft as the softest blanket, "What happened?" She asked while walking closer on her bare feet.

She immediately went into his arms placing her hands on his arms and looked up with furrowed eyebrows. It wasn't an unusual scene as most creatures who knew a little about the Garcias, knew how close the two can be. Even the other two Garcias stood on the side with a little grossed out face, "Lix, are you worried about your dragon kid or just wanted to flirt?" Nixus clicked his tongue.

Lixue and Nixus had always been on each other's throat. They always fought and bickered with each other like siblings, "Who asked you to speak?" Lixue glanced at him in a threatening way. Damhan took a step back when he turned to the dragon's lair. In the background Nixus and Lixue were arguing about killing each other when a shadow came closer from inside.

"Why the hell is it so noisy?" A young man with brown shining hair scratched his neck and yawned. His pupils were reptile-like with a transparent colour and there were red tattoo lines across his naked body. Damhan swift his hand and clothes magically appeared on him. "Locë!" Lixue hugged him closer as if she was a mother who hadn't seen her child in a long time, which was not entirely wrong. The Garcia always behaved like a mother to him as she saw him grow up in her presence.

"Is there a war or something for you to wake me up, Damhan?" He asked. Lixue froze and she turned around, "What?" She asked confused and the other two, Nixus and Reistr, also frowned at their leader, "I have a task for you," he said calmly and the dragon hardened his expression.
