In the eastern most part of the world lies the vast empire of the fierce dragons known as Draconia.
Possessing technological advancements, such as an inexhaustible energy source called Beam Particle Cores that powers their gigantic airships properly named Sky Destroyers as well as most of the weaponry used by their military force. Draconia became revered as the most powerful and prosperous empire in history.
However, not everyone in dragon empire basked in it’s prosperity. As the Principality of Wyveria, the cluster of nations populated by the sub-species of dragon called wyverns was left in a life of poverty and had to endure constant discrimination from the dragons.
Slowly but surely, the wyverns began to despise the dragons and started to rebel against them. Though the dragons had the upper claw during the initial years of the rebellion, the wyverns quickly adapted to their disadvantages and began to further their own military and technological strength to rival that of the dragon’s.
For the next fifty years, the dragons and wyverns were locked in an endless cycle of bloodshed to the point that both sides reached a stalemate.
Dradinton Base Training Zone, Draconia.
A mock battle is taking place between two of the base’s ace dragons, a vermilion lung dragon named Casval Netz and a cream imperia dragon who was none other than the dragon prince himself, Blitz Wings.
“Don’t expect I’ll take it easy on you this time.” Casval declared drawing a sword from the scabbard on his waist.
Blitz just smiled and drew a cylindrical hilt from his wing armor. “I wouldn’t want it any other way.” He said before the hilt emitted a beam-like blade. “Just for the record, you never once defeated me in battle.”
“Well maybe I’ll get lucky this time.” The lung said as he lunged towards the dragon prince.
Blitz quickly parried Casval’s initial swipe and counterattacked with his own sword. The lung dodged and flew up before firing a barrage of electrical blasts.
Blitz unfolded his feathered wings and flew backwards and effortlessly evaded the torrent of lightning. The prince soon retaliated and unleashed a powerful beam.
Casval veered off from the blast but was caught off guard when Blitz suddenly appeared behind him and landed a kick on his back hurling him towards the ground.
The lung managed to regain his composure and adjusted his wings so he can safely land. Blitz soon descended a few feet from him before the two rushed at each other and clashed blades matching blow for blow but it wasn’t long until the dragon prince had gotten the upper claw and overpowered the lung. “Looks like I win again.” Blitz announced with a smirk.
Casval sighed and sheathed his sword. “I guess you did.” He admitted. “Looks like I’m still a long way from your level your highness.”
With all the excitement from sparring, they failed to realized it was nearing nightfall. “Woah, I didn’t expect we were at it that long.” Blitz commented. “We better head back before it gets darker.”
The two soon flew back to the barracks and as they entered the building, a voice called out to them. “Hey, you two.”
They both turned and saw a red euro dragon walking towards them. “Oh, hey Garble.” Blitz greeted.
Garble crossed his arms. “So, let me guess. you two just finished another of your sparring session, didn’t you?” he pointed out before glancing at Casval and grinned. “Got your tail whooped again I presume?”
The lung rubbed the back of his head. “Pretty much.” Casval replied chuckling.
“You know Casval, if you start using a beam weapon instead of that heavy antique you might have more of a chance.” The euro suggested pointing at the sword on the lung’s waist.
“True, but this sword is a sacred artifact passed down by my father.” The lung declared. “I can’t just replace it because its obsolete.”
The euro rolled his eyes. “Whatever you say Cas.” He said. “Well, best be on my way. I’ve been assigned to the ninety eighth fleet leaving for Drayden in a few minutes and I don’t want to be left behind. Catch you guys later.”
Garble soon rushed off to the base’s airfield as Blitz and Casval waved him good luck before continuing their way inside the barracks.
“Another friend sent off.” Casval pointed out before sighing. “And then you’re leaving for the capital tomorrow. I’m starting to feel a bit lonely”
Blitz laughed. “It’s just for a few days Cas.” The prince assured. “I’ll be back before you know it. Just don’t burn the place down while I’m gone.”
“Ha ha very funny Blitz.” The lung said chuckling. “Still, don’t forget to give my regards to his highness and her majesty.”
“Don’t worry I will.” Blitz promised.
Meanwhile in a dense forest at the edge of the Dradinton border, A small detachment of wyverns has set camp. They were the few who managed to infiltrate dragon territory. However, they’ve came across a tiny complication.
“What do you mean she’s missing?!” a wyvern commander exclaimed angrily. “How could you possibly lost track of her?!”
“I’m sorry commander.” An armored wyvern apologized. “She eluded me somehow.”
The commander growled. “We’ve kept a low profile and she had to put that at risk.” he cursed. “Organize a search party. She might not have gotten too far yet.”
The following morning, Blitz prepared for his long venture back to Zekronia, the dragon capital. He gathered his supplies on his Hover Unit, a small aerial vehicle used by dragons for these type of long distance flights. he bid farewell to Casval who wished him a safe journey before departing.
After gaining some altitude, Blitz pushed the throttle prompting the transport lunged forward with great speed. He is to rendezvous with a sky destroyer sent to receive him at the border. However even with his current pace, it will since take him hours to get there not that he minded it because it gives him a chance to admire the beautiful scenery of the lush forests covering the landscape complemented by the high mountains in the distance.
“Wow, I’ve been stationed here for months yet I failed to notice how beautiful this place was.” Blitz commented. “It kinda reminds me of my mother’s homeland of Xernia in a way.
Hours have passed and the young prince finally neared his destination. He soon acquired communication link with the waiting airship.
“Your highness, we were beginning to worry you wouldn’t arrive in time.” a dragon on the other line said in relief. “We’ve pin pointed your location and now sending a squadron to meet up with you.”
“Understood, I’ll be waiting for…….” Blitz answered before his Hover Unit was suddenly hit by a beam. “Where did that come from?!” he tried his best to keep the unit in the air but the hit damaged its propulsion engine leaving him no choice but to abandon it.
The dragon prince jumped off and watched as the vehicle crashed into the forest below and exploded. Just then, a second beam streaked passed dangerously close to him. He turned to where it came from and saw a cloaked wyvern charging towards him.
“What in the…?” Blitz didn’t have much time to react as the wyvern tackled him causing them to both plummet towards the maze of trees. The dragon prince managed to break off from the wyvern and adjusted his trajectory to land safely on the forest floor.
“A wyvern? I didn’t know they reached this far.” The dragon prince said in surprise as the wyvern started to fire a barrage of beam attacks.
Blitz skillful evaded every single one of them before countering with his own beam attack but the wyvern reacted quickly and dived to dodge his attack. The wyvern then extended a sword from their gauntlet and lunged for him.
The dragon prince quickly drew his beam sword and block the wyvern’s strike. The two soon engaged in close-quarters exchanging blow after blow sparks flying whenever their weapons clash.
The wyvern soon broke off and fired a charged beam. Blitz tried to evade but couldn’t get out of the way in time and the attack injured one of his wings.
The dragon prince clutched his injured wing trying to ignore the pain before noticing the wyvern charging towards him. “That’s it!!” he angrily said. “I’m ending this now!!” his body began to glow and fired a concentrated beam. the wyvern retaliated with their own but it got was overpowered by the prince’s attack.
The wyvern cried in pain as the beam violently threw them back into a tree. Blitz’s eyes widen from what he did and without a second thought, he quickly ran towards the motionless form of the wyvern.
He was relieved to see breathing and kneeled beside the wyvern. the cloak that covered most of the wyvern’s body was burned so he decided to take it off before it could inflict injury but to his shock, the wyvern underneath was not what he expected.
It was a female wyvern roughly the same age as him. she had the purest coat of white something he never saw before from a dragon or a wyvern and it left him in a state of awestruck.
“Your Highness!!” a voice caught Blitz’s attention and turned to see three armored dragons descending towards him.
“Your Highness thank goodness we found you.” one of them said. “When we lost your hover unit’s signal, we began to worry something might have happened. Are you alright?”
“Yes, other than a busted wing. I’m fine.” The dragon prince assured before carrying the unconscious wyvern into his arms. “But none of that is important right now. Inform the ship to expect injured.”
Meanwhile, an armored wyvern was carefully hiding in the bushes.
“Oh flare, this isn’t good.”
