DREKI STUDIES - INTRODUCTION TO DRAGON HISTORY

CHAPTER 2 - An Abridged Overview

Our species had always been a peaceful monarchy back when our recorded history began.

Dreki, much like the modern offshoot, Idnagol, had each been given a magical gift when they were hatched, such as elemental sorcery, runic magic, healing, and many, many more.

One of the more rare, but more varied kinds of magical gifts were called Mystic Elementals. They were hatched with 4 eyes, and usually had abilities such as "mind reading" or "soulwatching" or dark magic.

The Dreki had built up an empire of sanctuary and freedom for thousands of years.

One day, a Dreki was hatched by the queen. Except this one was different than any Dreki seen before. Instead of a mane from head to tail, this dark purple dragon had sharp silver spikes along her spine. Her silver horns were also sharper than normal. She had 4 eyes like a Mystic Elemental, but her bottom eyes were matted shut. The queen named her Myrka.

By the time she was 5 years old, the dragon had a strange ability where she could create her own spells by saying what she wanted to happen. She casted a spell to completely remove her bottom eyes. Another spell that gave every single dragon both sets of reproductive organs so anyone could be what they wanted to be. She gave everyone the ability to use Telepathy. She also casted another spell that allowed all Dreki to shapeshift. It is unknown if it worked for herself.

She tried to make life better for everyone, but she ended up scaring them instead. All across the world, Dreki were in outrage about these spells. The queen, too, was furious at her, as she wasn't asked or told about this beforehand.

By that day, she was shunned for the rest of her life, and forbidden to create any spell on anyone anymore.

Many years later though, their moon started to drift toward their planet. Dragons were in distress and the queen was made aware of the imminent collision.

After an argument with the queen, Myrka flew off to the moon to bring it as far away from the planet as possible. She lived there, creating her own offspring, Myrkurs, leaving the rest to become what we now call Idnagols.

Many historians believe that some of the details of Myrka have been lost to time, and that they could either be exaggerated or fabricated. In further chapters, we will explore more of the possible misconceptions within known history.

CHAPTER 5 - The Idnagol Massacre and its Ramifications

Idnagol and Myrkur relations had always been less than great. The Myrkuran queen, Illa, was full of hate and jealousy toward the Idnagols.

While Idnagols were living peacefully and their planet lush and green, the Myrkur planet was a wasteland of dust. It barely had an atmosphere and it was hard to breathe, as it used to be a moon.

Both races had a peace agreement with each other, but obviously Illa didn't agree with the terms. She spent her resources creating a ship to bring the thousands of Myrkurs over to the Idnagol planet for an attack.

Many prophetic Mystic Elementals warned others to leave before the attack, but few believed them and took action to flee. Some Myrkurs rebelled against the attack from the inside, but they were promptly executed if they were seen by Illa herself.

About 3/4 of the Idnagols died that day, around 50 years ago. Now the remaining Idnagols who survived the attack are still running from the Myrkurs. They have their magic that can do anything, even locate or kill them. Why they haven't done the latter is unknown still.

This concludes Dreki Studies for the time being. I'll write more if any other important news happens.
