The dragons are alive, but nobody sees. The dragons are alive, but nobody knows. Because in a far away land it is kept, and held by the ancient spell.

Dragons, the ancient being, is not the only living thing in Mystneam. Humans also live there, but not as humans. They are called The Ancient Descendants. They are human, but not specifically. They are half-bloods. They live with the ancient blood within them. But, there aren't more than 50 of them, left in Mystneam. Some, of the ancient descendant, have moved, to the mainland.

The Mainland, 1604 B. C.

As a secret agent, we usually have to travel around, risking our lives, and do certain tasks. The IRIS, short for International Risk-taking Investigation Squad, has been investigating about a certain organisation. This organisation is not an ordinary organisation. It is a black organisation filled with loose criminals, terrorists and murderers. All of the bad guys are there. An organisation that is used to be the number one on the mainland is now the number one of the black market. It controls every single detail of the black markets -money, drugs, weapon and everything else -. M Ward is what they call themselves. It is the short for the Murderer Ward. It hasn't been doing much lately, so the investigators from IRIS have been reducing their interest into the organisation. Special agents were ordered to secretly investigate the M Ward.

Loine is a secret agent, working for the IRIS. He is taller than most of the agents, and is stronger too. He had been a secret agent since he was 10. His parents were once a secret agent. But they were killed on a mission. It was the M Ward that killed them. Loine was never told. What he was told, that they were killed by poison, and that his parents were once investigating the M Ward. So he, the son, was supposed to be continuing their footsteps. With his messy-looking brown hair, he is one of the most intelligent agent and the most popular among other secret agents. He shaves his mustache and his beard daily, so his face is actually pretty clean. That is, unless you count several scars that he had. He had some scars over his body. He usually would take it as souvenirs from the quests and fights he got into. The one most disturbing, or at least that's what the fan girls thought, is the scar below his right eye. Even though the girls thought it was so not cool, Loine personally thought that it was pretty cool.

"You're supposed to be relaxing you know?" said Dyal. Dyal Yellow. One of the best secret agents in the IRIS, 21 kill missions and 16 eliminate - organisations like he M Ward - missions. He is the Tri on the IRIS. In the IRIS, there are ranks given to special secret agents. The list is based on their achievements and there are 9 of them alive. Being the Tri means that he is the number four in the IRIS.

The first one is of course, the President of the International Risk-taking Investigation Squad. We never call him Mr. President, but we call him, Master. Nobody actually knows who he is, or how old is he, or even what does he look like. Well, that's a different case for me, the Di of the IRIS. Mono knows about it too, or at least I think.

Mono is the number two on the IRIS. He usually gets direct orders from the Master. Even I, the Di of the IRIS, only once got direct orders from the Master. Mono usually gets orders that requires him to be absent on the Headquarters for years. I haven't seen him for a year already. A different case if it was me. I never make a mistake, and I would usually finish my job early. Well, that is before I made a mistake and got myself suspended.

"I am relaxing here.." I replied. "And by the way, what is the Tri doing here? I thought I was suspended." "Well, seems like I've got nothing to do you know, just hanging round and round, watching couples on a date, stuff like that," he mumbled.
