This story is about the Red Dragon God with his Phoenix Guardian that took on human forms and descended from the Heavens and fell to Earth in order for the Dragon God to rule a country. He was the Kouka Kingdom's first King, King Hiryuu.

But because the hearts of the people began to grow wicked, and because they forgot God, the country began to decline. King Hiryuu was captured by those who desired his power and authority. The Guardian then fought for the life of the God, but was captured, tortured, and used for the people's desires. At that time, it seemed as if everything was destroyed at once.

The four dragons soon found out what the humans were doing to the Red Dragon and Phoenix, making them descend down the land of the humans and confront the two. The dragons told Hiryuu and the Phoenix to return to the Heavens and destroy the humans who have forgotten to cherish and heed the Gods. But Hiryuu rejected their idea, for he still loved the humans even though he was betrayed by them.

The Dragons still loved Hiryuu as well and didn't want to lose him or his companion. So in order to protect both of them; the Blue, Green, Yellow, and White Dragons...gave their blood to human warriors and gave them their powers.

One was given sharp claws that could tear anything apart.

One was given eyes that could see far off into the distance.

One was given sharp bodies that could never be injured.

The last one was given legs that could jump high into the skies.

The warriors that obtained the power of the dragons each lead their tribes, protected Hiryuu with his Phoenix Guardian, and quelled the country's chaos.

But it wasn't long before the Red Dragon, went to sleep weary from all the battling. The Phoenix Guardian no longer had any purpose on Earth and at once, returned to the Heavens. As for the Four Dragon Warriors, their mission had ended. The Four Dragon Warriors thought of their King who no longer move and mourned. They didn't know whether they were grieving because they had lost someone special, or if the blood of the Dragons within them was mourning the death of Hiryuu.

After that, the Four Dragon Warriors saw that their powers far exceeded what humans possessed. It's said that they each left their tribes, went their separate ways and disappeared. The tribes they left behind progressed further than what they originally were, and became what are now the Five Tribes.

"I already know about that story, love. And you also know the more detailed one and the correct version. You are the one that told me." The woman with short (H/C) hair told her husband.

The woman was sitting on their shared bed, holding their baby girl. The baby had (E/C) eyes like her father, her hair had to wait for five more months before it'll grow, and she was sleeping quietly in her mother's arms.

"I know, it's just that I remembered what I told you about the tradition. The one with the necklace." The tall orange haired man was standing in front of her beside the medium sized desk they had.

"What about your weird family tradition?" The woman asked with a gentle face, her green eyes never left her baby.

It's just been more than a month since the was born into the world. Both of the parents were so happy with having a child, that they would mostly stay with their daughter or plan things out for the next years to come in her life.

"You still haven't opened the box (M/N). I've been noticing that you're not forgetting about the necklace, you're avoiding it."

"..." (M/N) was silent, showing her husband that she didn't want to talk about the topic.
