All mother's children.

Long ago, three travelers stumbled across a portal. Carefully they drew closer, and felt an energy pulling them towards the gateway. As they entered, their vision grew brighter until they had to close their eyes. When they opened them, they awoke underneath a large tree, possibly the largest one to have ever existed. The sky above them was twinkling with the light of a million stars, each a different color. Sitting atop the tree was a dragon, as their eyes fell upon it they knew of it's importance. The dragon's many horns were draped with glowing stones of mysterious origin, and its eyes were set on them kindly as they approached, ready to welcome them.
Over the many years the dragon and the travelers grew close, they visited often, returning to their village on the sunrise and speaking to the dragon whenever they could. Eventually the dragon offered them a gift, giving each of the travelers a gem from their many horns and naming them Dragon-dancers. With this they could become like the dragon itself, and live with it in harmony. 
They thanked the dragon, and decided to introduce the village to them so that the people too could enjoy their mystical presence. But when the village heard of the wonderous acts of the dragon, instead of acting with joyfulness and thanking the dragon as well, they organized a war to take the dragon's power for themselves. 
The dragon-dancers quickly rushed to the portal to warn the dragon of what was coming, and together they prepared for a battle.
The dragons fought fiercely, but in the end the all-mother was stricken down by a mystical trident. The dragon fell, their power begging to fade. To the attacker's dismay the gemstones decorating them began to fade with it. They grew outraged, and turned to fire at the Dragon-dancers, but they had already begun to flee. 
The Dragon-dancers flew until they couldn't fly any longer, setting up a base and begging the long plan to construct revenge on the humans for slaying their all-mother.
