My entire life had always been, get good grades, study history, science, math, and become a rider. Never once did I ever think that last part would come true, and once it did I never looked back.

Eighteen hundred years ago the sky was lit on fire by a large object cutting through the sky towards the very center of life as the land that was to become Erdas would know it. A fiery explosion of death and destruction erupted across the lands of Pyrrhia and Pantala upon contact with the Evertree. All life would have been destroyed if not for the Dragon Riders, an ancient order that ruled before the Greencloaks.
Traveling to the distant land of Alagaesia, they struggle to fit in to their new home, especially with the fourteen Dragon Tribes they brought with them causing constant conflicts with the native Dragons and other species of Alagaesia.
In this short story follow the adventures of Baobab and Marula, the discovers of the Evertree; Raegel and Oak, the explorers of the Outer Reaches, and the first recognizers of the SilkWings and HiveWings; and Viserra and Lycaena, the original enemies of the Wyrm.
This story will cover the history of the Wyrm's beginnings, how Erdas was formed, and how the Great Beasts came to be.
