Hero [Book #1 in the Drakonia Saga]

When the world was created, eons ago, reality was always based in perspective. Some people believed in the Gods of old, others believed in the monotheistic, singular God and other people really couldn't care less what cosmic forces ruled their existence.

The only thing these people had in common, was their belief.

Whether they believed in themselves, believed in different sets of dieties or just one, they all gave all of their energy and life to upholding all of their beliefs.

Even as the earth aged, everyone held their beliefs close to their heart. Many great empires rose, only to fall centuries later with their countless rulers, dictators, kings and queens; they all fell in the end.

It makes you ask yourself, why even try to rise if you know you're destined to fall. History is almost certain the repeat, so why even bother?

Power.

With power you are important and you are untouchable. Without power, you are a nobody-- as important as the stain on someone's trousers.

Power is what created those great empires and ultimately, it is what destroyed them. The power they yearned for is nothing compared to the true power that exists in the universe. The unattainable power held only by the gods.

Their unhealthy desire and greed was their downfall, is their downfall and will be their downfall. After all, history is doomed to repeat itself. So, empires will rise from the ashes of cities long destroyed and they too will burn to enrich the soils of the nations that will succeed them.

All for power.

In the modern world, a city out of time's grasps stands proud. Time may not be able to reach but like the cities before, it too will pave the way for the future. Will the fires of revolution burn bright enough to fight the fire of greed or will this great city also fall in the pursuit of power.

After all, fighting fire with fire only causes everything to burn.
