Heroes

Part 2: Leben History

Legends state of the world being made by dragons, each with its own purpose. But historical pundits deny the claim of dragons being powerful enough to create such a massive world. Though they do agree on the existence of dragons, they choose to believe that the world was created by rocks from the 'outer world', as they call it. Because history has it's tales and the pundits have their reason and logic, both statements could be a possibility. But without further technology, their studies will be unanswered for centuries.

Most believe of dragons, for there are plenty of stories carved into the stones from the past. It took decades to find these hidden scripts, but now found, the humans of Leben transcribed these onto paper, combining the different tales of each event.

Over a millennium ago, dragons created a planet, bringing life and energy. Some say they wanted a world of peace and harmony, but others claim they merely wanted deity, to be worshiped as a Divine. Only the dragons knew the truth for their desire, but they never treated their life as inferiors. They made sure all was equal, and they never allowed themselves to use their gift of power against their creation of life or each other.

After the creation of the world, dragons shaped boulders, planning to create moving life, unlike the flowers and trees. They were creative, designing a variety of animals. Animals of the seas, animals of the heat, animals of the grass and trees. Lastly, they created the first human. The human was no child, but he was a man. The dragons later created offsprings for their life, but at the moment of the human's arrival, they adored the possibility of something to guide their new world. They wanted their secrets to be unraveled by this human's mind, they wanted their final creation to become almost as powerful and intelligent as themselves. They wanted life to thrive and overcome nearly impossible obstacles.

In only seconds a world came to be, and in minutes, life filled the lands and seas. That is when life began.

As the dragons continued filling their world with their gifts, life took it's course, populating. After doing what they wished, the dragons watched the humans grow.

It didn't take long for humans to learn of the dragons' existence. They were at first skeptical of their great power, but after they were shown proof, they feared the beasts. The dragons expected this, and as a way to show they can be trusted, they taught the humans magic. With a lift of the humans hands, they'd be able to summon dragons to their side.

As the stories on the rocks state, they were Dragon Summoners.

Dragon Summoners were known to rule the land, fighting large battles against other predators with the dragons. Besides the small creatures that seemed to nearly math the size of humans, the dragons created beasts almost their size. The beasts were far too frightened to ever face the dragons or fight them, but to humans and the creatures around them, they showed no mercy, only hunger.

Hundreds of years flew by, and the humans began creating territories with rules and government. The dragons were impressed by their organization, but soon, they regretted supporting the humans' beliefs. Dragon Summoners fought each other for power, summoning the dragons to their side's, but the dragons refused to harm each other, for they considered each other family. Humans continued to wage in war, threatening the lands, as well as themselves. Since Dragon Summoners were gifted with incredible power, the dragons took action before their humans' destroyed each other.

They warned the Summoners to never be involved in a battle against life, for there will be consequence, possibly death. At first, the Dragon Summoners assumed they were bluffing, so they continued to fight alongside their allies in war. Because of that, the were stripped of their power before they harmed a soul. It pained the dragons to watch and allow their creations to slaughter each other, but they knew peace never came alone without conflict. Dragon Summoners heard of their fellow Summoners being stripped and erased, so they agreed to never fight in war. The dragons then on refused to teach another human to summon. The only way to seek such power, was to have the pure blood of a Dragon Summoner itself.

Humanity continued to thrive, still bringing war and peace, and soon forgetting of the dragons existence. The dragons chose to go to hiding, refusing to assist humans unless they were true Summoners. To this day, only few pure Summoners exist, and only they know the dragons' stories and tales.

A question that fills the sky might be, 'who was the first dragon?' After the dragons finished their creations in the world, they called it Leben for it was filled with life. The dragon who leader the others, was known as Lyde. She was a creature, nearly as tall to where she can reach the clouds, and and green to where she can blend into the hills. Though she was a magnificent creature of beauty, she wanted to become one with The world. Finding an open grass plane, she laid her body and wished to be left alone for her eternal sleep. The other dragons fulfilled her wish, as well as her final wish, which was to protect the land. She rested, creating a hill as the ground covered her with a blanket of dirt and grass.

Forever wanting to become one with the world, she decided to split her long lasting life, the thousands of millennium she had to live, into multiple colorless trees. After her eternal sleep devoured her, the Dragon of Color gave each tree an unusual color. From blue, to green, to yellow to purple, it made them stand out. All agreeing, only those worthy and true, pure at heart with good intentions, will only be allowed to see the trees. Though there were many, they were all still one.
