Perilous Skies; Wayward Royalty, Playing with Fire
On an Earth that is not our own, the Moon above is Blue and Green with life, an earth where dragons and great beasts hold absolute dominion over the skies, land, and sea. While humanity, humbled by a troubled past, remains content to live in the sheltered parts of the world. Through a union between the most intelligent species, a planet once ravaged and ruined by conflict and vice has been resurrected into something greater than ever before. A tradition to maintain peace was born, where some fledgling dragons are selected to share half their soul with a random human child. The pair would become Dragon Mage and Archmage respectively, some of the most powerful mortal beings to exist... provided they survive long enough and the odds are heavily against them. 5,000 years later, a human girl named Piiku Ravenfield leaves her quiet village to find her soulmate, only to discover that her partner just so happens to be the Dragon Prince of a faraway land. This Prince named Beskytter Allister Orenstein, despite his young age and residence in human society unlike any previous dragon royalty, is seen as an enigmatic and withdrawn figure. For reasons known only to him, prefers to remain in the skies above and wilds beyond where no human dares tread. Plagued both physically and mentally by follies of the past, his heart has grown hard and his mind divided. Together they must learn to navigate both their worlds, making friends and foes alike to live in a world where no one is at the top of the food chain. (Title Art by @RileyClaw on Twitter/Tumblr.)
