===The beginnings===
====The man and the dragon====
Long long ago, centuries before the scorching, there were three human empires. They were powerful. Very powerful. But while their rulers, nobles and even soldiers enjoyed luxurious lives, their poor citizens live in hardship and sorrow. Many of them were growing tired with the current order and wanted change. They were living in poor conditions while being forced to work.
Among these people, there was a man, a poor man, just like all of the rest. He, and a couple of other peasants inhabited a plaza that was constantly full of wealthy people. He and the others spent hours in the plaza begging for food and water. They were always shooed off. This man, along with the others, was very sympathetic of dragons. He did not know why, but he felt something, pleasant, about them.
The man had decided to leave the plaza in search for some work. After earning a some money, he had bough some medical supplies to help others. He decided to head into the neighboring woods for a while to get away from the hardships and find some game. 
While he was out searching, he heard something move in the bushes. “Wha-What was that?” He carefully approached. Nervously he walked through through the bush. “What was that sound?”, he thought to himself. Then he saw it, a large winged creature, a dragon. The creature looked so menacing, yet so beautiful and majestic. “Aww”, he thought to himself, “Such a lucky creature. Living a live so simple, yet so happy. No one to please, no standards to meet, nothing.” He had come to fully love dragons since that day.
Every day, he had come to the same spot to view the creature. Every time he came, he wanted to go up there and pet it. He had a yearning to go up to the creature and say something to it. But he did not o up to hit. He did not know what to say and he feared it would want to eat him. “Man, I want to go and talk to it, but, what if it eats me?” Not only that, but, what am I going to say to it?” 
But one day, while he was out again, he was in his usual spot. But the dragon wand’s there. He got worried, “What if something happened to it?”, he wondered. Luckily it came back, but it was limping. “That’s weird”, he thought again. “Why is it limping like that?” “And it’s whimpering.” The creature, was still somewhat angry though, he could tell, but it looked hurt and distressed. He then heard something. The men approached from behind a tree, surrounding the creature. Hunters…
3 of them. 2 were dressed in metal plate armor and were armed with swords, the third was dressed in leather and carried a bow and arrow. The dragon let out a growl and was about to roar- but then suddenly 2 arrows hit the dragon’s front right leg. The dragon roared in pain. The dragon let out a breath of fire as the men in armor raised their shields, deflecting the fire. 
Just as the dragon stopped to catch her breath, the men began to approach her with swords raised. They were about to slash when suddenly- “Ow!” They heard a shout of pain as the archer was knocked out. Then the man approached, armed with a large stick. “Stay away from her!” “Don’t harm the poor creature!” Then the men in armor turned towards him.
”Uh oh!” He began to back away as the men came towards him. “Don’t harm her, but don’t harm me!” He shouted as he ran. He ran until and arrow hit him in his bottom right leg. The archer having reawaken. “Ahh!” “Ow, ow, ow!” He fell to the ground. The men approached him. “You foolish idiot.” “Trying to protect that fowl beast.” “It’s not your right to hurt her!” He said. “I swear, all of you peasants are the same.” “Yeah, stupid people who are good for one thing, and one thing only, to work.” The man screamed, “ARGHH!” As he got up, buck quickly fell again, “OW!” “Well now you are going to pay the price…”, one of the hunters said as he lifted his sword and was getting ready to hit, but then there was, a roar. 
The dragon roared as loudly as she could and let out a breath of fire as all of the men jumped back, startled. The man took the opportunity to stab the archer in the abdomen. “Ahh!”, the archer screamed in pain. Then armed with the bow and arrow, he fired at one of the men. One of the men then ran at the dragon, and the dragon roared again as the sword pierced her belly. The man then grabbed a large stick and knocked the other man unconscious. He grabbed the hunter’s sword and began to fight the other hunter. 
He wasn’t good with swords, but eventually he managed to dislodge the sword from the first hunter. “Ok ok!”, said the first hunter. “You win, just don’t kill us, please!” “Ok, fine. I won’t harm you, but you must leave and never come back.” “Ok, w- we have a d- deal!”, said the hunter frantically. “Come on, Mike, let’s get out of here.” “Ok, I don’t want to be here either.” “Stupid, being beat- as their words grew fainter and fainter.
The man breathed triumphantly. He had never done something like this before. Then he turned to the dragon, witch eyed him wearing. He then lowered and kneeled, putting the sword on the ground. “Please don‘t eat me.”, he said. “I will do anything for you.” He turned up, half expecting the dragon to eat him, but when he looked up, she lowered her head? He took the moment. He put his hand on her snout. “Beautiful thing.” He thought to himself. 
He eyed the dragon. He looked into the creature’s emerald green eyes. Every time he locked into them, he felt compassion, happiness, a feeling he couldn’t describe. He had to go though. “I-I must go.”, he said nervously. As soon as he was about to leave though, the creature whimpered. “Oh right.”, he said. They dragon still had arrows in it’s front left leg. Although he was injured, he decided to use the last of his supplies to help the dragon.
====Ederick====
Ever since, he came to the dragon’s cave around midday. He would come to look at it, as well as to make sure she was unharmed. Every time he came, he brung a piece of fruit or meat as an offering. He would kneel every time he saw the dragon come out of the cave for the first time of each visit. 
After coming for a few moments, he decided to finally make “contact.” He would stand near the cave and the dragon would come out. He would practice the things that were mentioned above. Later, he fell in love with another dragon sympathizer. He and his wife would come to the cave together, and practice these new customs.
Eventually they had a son, who they named, Ederick. Ederick and his family began worshiping the dragon. They began worshiping all dragons. Eventually many dragon sympathizers, mostly poor working class citizens, would eventually begin practicing this new religion. 
Eventually though, Ederick’s father would fall ill. And one day, his father fainted… The boy spent hours in the plazas and streets begging for others to help him. His father’s friends could do nothing themselves due to their situations. Everywhere he went, he was waved off and shooed away.
”Someone, help!”, the teen cried. “Help, help!” “My father is ill, he has passed out!” “Get lost.” Yeah get lost peasant.” “Poor people shouldn’t be here.” “Please, have sympathy, heave hearts!” “No.” “We won’t help people who feel bad for those disgusting overgrown lizards.” “Please, someone, anyone, I beg you!” “We have more important business to attend to than helping some poor dragon sympathizing fool.” “Get lost idiot!” “Before we call guards!”
The boy ran away crying. “Yeah, runaway and go cry to your mother!” As he ran, he continued to beg. “You there, please help me!” “No, go away!” Hey miss, please get medical attention!” “Um, no sorry!” “Hey, you look like you could help!” “No, now stop talking to me or else!”
Back in the little shack they called home, Ederick was crying, his father was still faintly alive. “S-Son.” “Yes, father?”, said Ederick. “T-T-take me…” “Take you where?” “To the, to the-“ “To the where!?” “Please speak!” “To the cave in the middle of the w-woods.” “Why?” “Just out side of- of- of…” “No!” “P-Please take me…” “Q-quick-k.” “Ok!”
The boy spent hours dragging his father all the way to the spot his father told him to. Hours later, Grunting, “Arghh!” Heavy breathing, “We are here.” “S-son…” “Yes father?” Y-y-you must love them…” “What does that mean?”, he said, nervously. “Father?” “S-son, respect them, the way I thought you to.” “Father?” “Father!?” “FATHER!?” “No, don’t go!” “Son, I, I, I, m-mus-“, his breathing slowed… “Nit father please!” “Please anything, anything but this!” “Please!” “Father, NO!” Then all went black…
Hours later, he woke up. “Ugh, where am I?”, he asked. He saw grayness around him. “What is this place?” Then he heard something “Wha-what was that?” He said. Then suddenly, “Ederick…” “Who are you and how do you know my name?”, he said frantically. “It’s me, your father.” “Father, is that really you?” “Yes, it is me.” He then went to hug the ghost of his father. “Father, please stay.” “I-i’m sorry, but I can’t.” “Please you can’t leave me, not now.”, he said whimpering. “I truly am sorry, but, I must go now, the rest of the family is calling.” Then suddenly, “No, no, no. Please don’t go!” “Please come back!” “I’ll do anything, anything!” “Father!” “Father where are you!?” Suddenly there was fire everywhere. There was fire, ashes and lava, dead trees. Everywhere he looked, it was hot, scorching hot. “No, no!” “Please! “Help!” “NOO!”
Suddenly again he woke up with a fright. He opened his eyes, startled. He groaned, “ugh, where am I?” “That was a nightmare.” He looked around. It looked like he was in some sort of cave? “Weird. I wasn’t here before?” He then looked up. And then he saw it, “Oh no, it’s going to eat me…” But when it bent down towards him, the dragon, was, comforting him? “What in the world?”
He got up. The dragon walked out for a minute, before returning with a heated piece of meat. She dropped it in front of him. “What are you- How do you know we humans like to have our meat cooked? “He stared at her” “The dragon made some friendly purring noise. “Ok then.” He ate from the meat. Afterwards the dragon bent down and he touched her snout. He then began to scratch the dragon’s neck. The dragon made a purring noise. He then went outside. “Well.” He turned to the area he left his father at. Now there was a pile of dirt. “I miss you dad…”, he said. 
He then went back to the cave, and he saw three large eggs. “Babies?”, he said in awe. “So you’re pregnant.” He got a little closer to the eggs, “Mind if I-? The dragon made a mild growling noise.” “Ok, ok, I won’t touch your eggs.”, he said backing away. He kneeled down. “I can’t believe you helped me, I owe you everything.” “The dragon looked somewhat curious as to what he was doing, but she didn’t do anything else.”
He herd rumbling in the bushes. “What is that sound?” He went to check it out. “He got a stick and some rocks, ready to strike just in case someone had come to harm. He remembered the story is father has told him, about the fight with those hunters he fought sometime before he was born. Just as he got into the bush, he saw a large group of people. “Wait a minute, oh. I remember now, every time midday we come here to worship and offer to the dragon that just helped me.” 
“It’s his son!”, someone shouted. His father was like a leader to these people. He had come and manage to unite them, to help give them determination during these trying times. “He has returned! Thank the dragon!”, people were chattering. “Attention everyone!” He said, “the dragon we come to give thanks, has helped me.” “What? Really? No way!”, people said. “Yes, it is true! My father was right! They can be kind and helpful, contrary to what the empires claimed.” “She has buried my father and gave me something to eat, and she put me in here cave while I was passed out. Dragons can be good creature when we are good to them. We can all live in peace harmony with them!” “Yeah, the boys right!” “Of course, why are we doing nothing about it?” “Something must be done!”
Suddenly there was a sound. Everyone quieted down. “What is that sound?” Someone asked. “That sounds like armor?” “Armor? That can’t be good.” Suddenly, they heard roaring. “Oh no! She is in trouble!” “Then he saw, several men in armor as well as 4 archers had the dragon surrounded. Quietly someone said “1,2,3… 15. That’s 15 armored solders and 4 archers, she won’t be able to defeat all of them!” “We must do something.”
”But what do we do?”, one asked. “We’ve got like 40 of us here, and we’re not the only ones.” “True, most of other peasants in the city are with us.” “But there’s no time, we must act quickly!” “Everyone!”, said Ederick. “We must unite, and defeat these evil hunters! The dragon has helped me and my father. My father was right, they can be good and we good!” “Yeah!” “Everyone! Who is with me!” “We are!” “Charge!” “Era!” The peasants shouted as they raced towards the hunters.
”This dragon will die!”, a hunter said. With the dragon cornered in one area, a group of two other hunters took the three eggs in the corner. The dragon roared in despair. She was about to breathe fire just as a soldier went at her leg. The dragon roared in pain. “Everyone we must do this!” “Erra!” Ederick chanted, “ERRA!”, everyone else chanted. “Charge!”
”Time do die!, What the!?, ahh!” There was a battle. The peasants threw stones and the hunters. The archers fired their arrows, and there was hand to hand combat. The two hunters with the eggs were going to make their escape. “Someone stop them!” Ederick tan and bashed on of them in the head with a large stick, then the other hunter unsheathed his sword. Ederick grabbed the sword from the hunter that was knocked out. He then began to battle him. After several dire moments he manage to slice the hunter’s neck. He then scooped up the eggs, carefully as not to crack them, and then he went back to help the others.
After some time, they managed to encircle the hunters and archers. “Careful, those archers are firing their bows!, Ederick said. “Throw stones at them”, someone else said. The began to push back the enemies. Eventually the the made a U formation with the dragon in the side with no people. The dragon roared with anger and let out a powerful breath of fire. Eventually the enemies within were burnt, with the finishing blows made by the peasants. 
After the battle, the peasants, chanted “Erra!”, triumphantly. The battle was one. All of the enemies perished. Ederick then returned the eggs to the mother. He set the eggs on the ground and kneeled. Then everyone else kneeled. The dragon grabbed he eggs and bent down towards Ederick who said “you have manage to unite us all, you and you’re kind, thank you for helping us get through these trying times.” 
Days later, the peasants formed and underground rebel group. They began worshiping the dragons, but once the empire found out about this new religion, they banned it and prosecuted any of its followers. Everyone then began to practice this religion in secret. Things were about to change.
===Revolution===
After some time, things were going as normal. They were still living in hardship and were focused on surviving. The State soon found out about their religion… “Well did you hear the news?”, said Ederick’s wife, Amelia. “No, I did not.”, said Ederick. “They banned our religion.” “Really?” “Yes.” “I know they may not like dragons, but that doesn’t give them the right to do this.” “I know, it is very wrong.”, replied Amelia. “You know, I don’t care about the law at this point, I will continue to practice, even if the empires call it illegal.” “I will stand with you, Ederick.” “Thank you, I am glad to have met you.” 
Days later somewhere underground, “Well Ederick, I’m not sure where we should go from here.” “I know, the empires can’t get away from this.” “We will deal with this one way or another, I have a plan.” “Yes Ederick.?” “You know the bank that will open 2 days from now?” His “commander” replied, “Yes, and?” “We rob it…” 
One day after the grand opening, it was night time. “Ok are we ready?” “Yes we are ready.” “Let me see, we’ve got transport, weapons, we should be good.” “Of our plan works, we should get away without a trace.” “Idiot! We are supposed to cause damage and destruction!” “Oh, ok.” Ederick knocked on the back door. A guard came out. Ederick said, “Volamus alta” and the gaurd said: “Et adsurgimus super caelum.” He let them in. 
“Ok we are in.” “Good to see you, good to see you too.” “So I’ll open the vault, and we can begin loading the gold.” “Alrighty, I’ll go knock out the other guards.” Later, “alright, they’re all down.” “Good, the vault is open.” Minutes after packing the gold, “Ok these last an- “What the!?” A random person went, “Oh no, that’s not good.”, went Ederick. Minutes later, commands were being shouted, bells rung and doors open. “Hurry, quickly!” Ederick said. “Johnathan will take the gold away. We will escape via the sewers.” “Ok then, come on guys.” “Light it up!” Said Ederick. Seconds later the entire building was in flames. In the sewers, “We’re so close- “Did you hear something?”, said another operative. “I don’t- “Hey!” Shouted an enemy soldier behind him. “Everyone go, I will fight them off.” “But Ed- “I said go!” Minutes later, all went black… 
It was dark. Very dark. He’d spent weeks in the dungeons. And now the guards were dragging him somewhere. “Ugh, where are they taking me?”, he thought. “Well prisoner, today is your last day.” “Yeah it was foolish of you to think you could get away with it.” “Let’s move faster, they want him hanged as soon as possible. “Hanged?”, he thought again. “Hanged.” A guard said, as if he managed to look into his mind… 
Later at the execution. “You will be executed immediately!”, the judge said. “That’s unfair, I demand a trial!”, screamed Ederick. “We don’t hold trials for poor peasants who support those overgrown lizards!” “You’ll pay for this, one day, you’ll see!” “Oh really? Sorry bud, emperor’s orders.” “The emperor should fall!” “The emperor won’t like that. Hang him!” As soon as he said that, several guards came and freed him from his bounds. “What are you doing, disobeying orders!?” We are not guards… We are rebels! “Rebels!? Ederick, we know you are the leader and you will all perish, you and your supports!” Then an arrow hit the judge in the chest. “What in the world!?”, he exclaimed before falling to the ground… 
Then about several thousand peasants stormed city hall. The defenders while better equipped and trained, were outnumbered. While it seemed as if the peasants would win, several legions of soldiers were called in to put down the uprising. Then more rebels came, they had makeshift catapults and ballista and fired at the hall. After several hours, things seemed dire, but then they got unexpected help, a dragon, the one from years ago had come to help them, and with her a dragonet. “Hey! What is it!? Look! What the… No way! It came to aid us!? But why would it- It’s because we helped her! They couldn’t believe it. This seemed impossible. But right now they had other matters to worry about. The dragon was circling the palace and breathing fire every she had the opportunity. 
After several hours of fighting, many began to fight with them. Eventually a good amount of soldiers and civilians were fighting with them. Most of the wealthy have fled. The mayor was trapped with the city hall with the remaining soldiers he had. After several hours, the palace was stormed and the mayor had signed a declaration of surrender. “Ok I surrender”, said the mayor. “But sir we can’t- “We have to, we are trapped here and it’s better we surrender now than get annihilated.” Ederick said, “You must sign this declaration of surrender.” “I’ll do it, but what are the terms?” “The terms will be simple: 
#You and all of your soldiers must leave and never come back.
#You will leave us peace and will respect our sovereignty.
#We demand a payment of 1 million gold coins,
#We will seize all property and assets within city boundaries.
# You will rebuild anything you have damaged.
#Dragons, within city boundaries will be protected are not to be hunted by your people.
“Sign.” “As the mayor of Colstein, I sign the declaration of our surrender. Just note this,” “Yes?”, said Ederick. “The emperor won’t be happy that one of his cities rebelled, he’ll send his armies to crush all of you. This is not a threat, just a warning.” “Ok, I’ll take your warning. We will crush any of the emperor’s soldiers who try to interfere with our freedom and peace. We will-“ “Sir, sir!” “What is it messenger?”, responded ederick, in a concerned tone. “Other cities have begun rebelling! “What? Really?” “Yes, the’ve heard about our rebellion, and that has inspired them to rebel. “This is good. This means we can have allies.” “More than allies sir, many of them won, and they want to unite!” “Ok, ok.” The other leaders want to meet with you.” “This is sudden, but it’s good, United we are stronger…”
===Unification===
There was a meeting between the most well known rebel leaders. There was 8 of them, including Ederick. There were also 20 other vice leaders. “Today here on the city of Colstein, we gather to talk about unification, after several rebellions for freedom and justice, dignity and peace. Let this meeting begin!”, said the announcer. “Well what is the plan?” “First off, we need a leader.” “But who is going to be the leader?” “I-I do not know.” “Someone has to lead us!” “But who?” There was a lot of chatting and some arguing. “Everyone! Calm down! I know who should be our leader.” “Who said that?” It was Ira. A short and fragile looking female, but strong in mind. “Who?” “Yeah, who?” “Ederick should be our leader.” “Me?” “Yes you!” “Why?” “You’re the one who led the first rebellion. The rebellion witch caused the others. If it weren’t for you helping lead the others, we probably wouldn’t be here. “It makes sense.” “Ok, we’ve got our leader, but what now?” King Ederick, what is your plan? Well…
Slowly but surely they built a new government. Many of the former higher rebel leaders became the national council. There was also a civilian representative, known as the People’s leader, who was in charge of the parliament. There was also a judiciary branch headed by 9 executive judges, with the 9th judge being known as the chief judge. They also introduced a new economic system to make everyone equal and to help financially unstable people get back on their own feet. This also includes several welfare programs for the homeless. A new era has begun… 
===Prosperity===
===Downfall of the Kingdom of Acia===
After enjoying a golden and silver age, things had begun to make a turn for the worst. The kingdom began to decline. The empires had made several attempts to break the kingdom, but the kingdom and its people stayed strong.
