Edit: Yeah yeah yeah I posted this already but 13 people has 'seen' this and two people have voted. I have spent several days on this while in pain, and frankly I'm not going to continue this (really great)(in my opinion) idea. I want to do this for me, I really do, but I also want to do this for you. If I can't get any feedback then it's pointless.
Oh wait do you guys need art? Yeah well you're going to have to wait, even when I do put it out people won't care, they'll just click on my chapter to get rid of notifications, huh? Whatever I don't care anymore.
Sorry (no I'm not) for the ranting.
Ok ok ok, everyone out there has those cool universes/story things and I'm crying because I don't have one??? Oh but wait
I'm making one.
So here's what I've got churning in my brain:
In a futuristic world where technology was rather minimal, dragons and Humans have always lived together peacefully. They haven't fought since the dark ages and have never felt the need after the treaty to split the species, to stop the fighting.
Even though they lived on the same planet together, each species have had their own troubles, and it all became worse when the evil around them became too much.
A break in the earth let out the most foul creatures ever known to man kind. The dragons knew very well that something could be lurking underneath the surface but passed it off as mere legends to the humans.
The human race began to dwindle, and the already minimal dragon species began to die off too, the only way they could help themselves was to help each other.
All the humans wanted in the protection treaty was knowledge, magic, and protection.
Dragons had a life span of several hundred years, the older dragons knew much more than any human or any history book that held a landfill of lies. They could tell the stories the humans didn't know, the ones that have been hidden from them.
The royalty bloodline of the dragon kingdoms carried magic in their blood, which could easily be transferred to objects, most commonly jewelry or of household objects such as books or cooking utensils. The commonly wanted magic was that of healing, the creatures of the broken earth spread disease which generally targeted babies and young children. It was rare for a child to make it to the age of ten.
The human kingdom had a hard time protecting itself from the creatures hidden within, the dragons could easily provide help. Dragons were huge and powerful, had thick armored scales, the ability to fly (unless they were that of a Lavyn species), and armed with their very own weapon, they were natures greatest weapon ever made. The perfect protection for the human kingdoms.
The dragons however, wanted their own homes and a more plentiful food source.
The dragons already had a hard time keeping their offspring alive with the harsh conditions of Mother Nature, now the creatures of the broken earth craved the young reptile blood, whether the young dragon be unborn and in an egg, or in its young 'baby' years. The dragons thought it would be best to have home structures just like the humans did.
You would think they could make it theirselves with magic, and that they did in the dark ages until they figured out that the magic ability could be lost. The large palaces became weathered over the years, it is said that the last palace that stands strong is beneath the ocean surface with the Lavyn tribe, but nobody knows for sure.
The humans have opposable thumbs and are able to build structures like no other while dragons had a hard time. Some were gifted with prehensile tails that could lift trees but the gift couldn't build great palaces like the humans could, it was something that was greatly wanted in their lives.
