Dragon Story Episodes
Reckless Flames
The young flame dragon ran out
of breath and fell to the ground.
The fallen dragon was immediately
buffeted by a heat he had never
before known. And within that fire
stood an impassive Flamewyrm.
"Ah, the vagaries of youth," said the
Flamewyrm. "Alas, your flames were
but the nibbling of a mosquito when
compared to my own majesty."
"If you wish to fell me, you must first
become the most powerful dragon
in all the world," continued the
Flamewyrm before taking wing
and soaring off into the sky.
The young dragon stared after the
Flamewyrm as she disappeared
into the distance. He felt indignation,
yes, but more than that, he yearned
to become stronger.
The immature dragon acknowledged
his own weakness and swore to
become the most powerful dragon
ever, that he might stand proudly
before the Flamewyrm once more.
Thus did the young wyrm begin to
travel the world, seeking strength
wherever it might be found.
He razed a hundred kingdoms with
his flames, and earned the moniker
of "Blazewyrm" for his actions.
Yet he still lacked ultimate strength,
and knew he could not yet stand
before the Flamewyrm again.
And so, he paid visit to a certain
dragon...
The elder of all dragons:
the Holywyrm Elysium.
The young seeker gave all he had
to the challenge. And...
Driven by desire for strength like the
Flamewyrm's, the Blazewyrm sought
the title of strongest dragon in the
world. And so, he challenged the
Holywyrm Elysium.
The result was pitiful: The Blazewyrm
could not land even a single blow
upon the elder of all dragons.
He despaired that the title of the
strongest would always be beyond
him. For despite his power, he had
been naught but a child's toy to the
Holywyrm.
Soon, his dissolute heart drove him
to rampage across the countryside,
destroying all he could see. But then,
a man appeared before him.
This man was a prince of Alberia,
and he had modified the dragon
under his command with alchemy.
Alchemy was forbidden to dragons.
The Blazewyrm felt disgust at the
breaking of this grotesque taboo,
and instantly attacked the twisted
creature the man had created.
He battled the dragon and won.
But there was no joy in victory,
for his opponent had been a
lowly dragon without pride or
strength of its own.
Yet the Blazewyrm was wounded
due to the power of alchemy.
When he realized this, a lust
for that forbidden power
rose up within him.
The man praised the Blazewyrm's
strength and pressed him to
forge a new pact.
This arrogant man sought to take
back the world from dragons,
and the Blazewyrm could see he
was prepared to use any and all
means to see that goal realized.
Even the most forbidden of taboos
was nothing to this man—yet the
Blazewyrm saw that avariciousness
as a ray of hope that would lift
him toward his ultimate goal.
Finally, he swallowed his loathing
at the thought of alchemy and
proffered a single outstretched
wing to the man.
Thus was the pact forged, and the
forbidden alchemical process
begun soon thereafter.
As loathing gnawed at his heart
for having broken the taboo,
he recalled the Flamewyrm.
He realized that even if he stood
before her now, it would be as a
sick and twisted being with a mind
that was no longer his own.
It was...most regrettable.
