The year is 716 H.E., seven billion years in our future. In the beginning there was war, the battles began July 17, 2028. The War of Evolution. Continents fought against each other, destroying the land and covering the world in radioactive debris. The land and the seas became toxic wastelands, forcing the armies to band together as one. Their leaders became the Council, all signing the Treaty of Glacier. Since the world was in ruins the remaining humans were forced to set sail to Antartica, where they transformed the barren ice land into glorious cities were humanity could live. But there was a downfall from this new life of the people, their blood had been infected with he toxic waste. The infected blood traveled through their systems turning off the thalamus and cerebral cortex in people. They could no longer register pain. At first it was known as a curse, but later as civilizations grew, it became a gift. But the price the humans didn't realize was that with pain comes humanity. And what is a world run by humans with no humanity?

They call us beasts. Monsters. They say we burn their civilization to the ground. They call us demons. Creatures that plaque the earth. We are the devil to their species, as they are to ours. They are human, after all humanity overrides everything. They are brought to this world with too much knowledge, too much understanding. They received the greatest and most dangerous gift of all. They received dominance. The ability to make others feel weak. The ability to patronize and fool others while feeding their own selfish needs. They received the ability to be cannibals, to be able to kill each other. They used it against us, turning our strong race of noble dragons into creatures of evil and disgust. We are monsters to their eyes, as they are to us. We may have burned their villages, eaten their livestock, and fought their armies, but both side lose in a battle, even it's not the battle itself. They have infested our earth with their humanity, they have driven their swords through my kinds children, and they have dissected us to cure their greatest flaws. Their mortality.
