History of Zaragoza

## ***The Beginning***

Long before men when the earth was bare, the Goddess of Mother Nature wanted the world to thrive in the beauty of purity thus making the guardians of her creation. Dragons, each dragon contained an ability of nature. The main four elements were Fire, Earth, Wind, and Water but slowly as million of years goes by and the earth became alive with life the dragons started to evolved and master other abilities, soon there became dragons of shadow, ice, lighting and much more. Soon they became a flourishing society but all that came to be will demolish. As the earth changed and emerged into the new era... of mankind.

Once mankind walked the earth the Gauidans taught them how to grow and survive off the land, an alliance between the two became impregnable. Mankind and Dragon worked side by side for years to come, but the hunger could not be confined. One fateful night a young man stole something irreplaceable, hatchlings barely a week old were murder barbaric and heartless. They killed with false belief of gaining their power through devouring them to the bone and soaking in the blood of the young. The peace that the Guardians held before time itself was broken into all-out war, death and destruction. Many years went by as dragons slowly became extinct, even though they contain the elements they only knew how to create so soaking in the blood of others they have destroy, many gave in losing the faith of their purpose as the earth once so beautiful and pure now covered in death. The Gaudians with all the remaining strength brought down their wrath but even then there was no hope of victory. Until a single dragon came onto the battlefield, she was the image of perfection her scales shine with the purest of white. She claimed that the Goddess herself gifted her the power to create a paradise for those who served their purpose. Her name was Zara and she fulfilled her promise, sacrificing her life for her kind. The world she created was just as she was, perfection. They named it Zaragoza. The remaining Gaudian made a vow to never let their kind be weak again, to uphold Zaragoza against all odds and truly make a world of peace.

## ***The Great War***

Zaragoza the masterpiece of Zara's vision, a creation so raw and pure. The dragons that crossed over vowed to never let any evil bring harm to their world and for many years they lived in unimaginable peace that all have forgotten on Earth.

The truly unimaginable came to be when another White Dragon appeared, Zara's reincarnation. As Zaragoza grow stronger a Kingdom was born one that will forever be ruled by the White Dragon... Zara's soul was tied to the land only one White Dragon may be born in a lifetime, every generation the power of the White Dragon grows stronger and stronger to the point that only the next heir can kill the White Dragon. One dies as one is born. Each generation is guarded by the Elders, the four most powerful dragons of their elements, Fire Wind Earth and Water. Powerful and equally as wise they became the teachers, the council, and the family to the White Dragon and soon they became royalty themselves. The purpose of the Elders is to their kingdom and the royal family. Generations after generations came and went the Kingdom has grown secure and it's people grown as well. Once they roam the earth simple-minded with their purpose at hand now live freely enjoying their day to day lives.

Perhaps peace can never be peaceful without chaos. A shadow covered the land, darkness overcame the goodness of some. One forbidden law was to never practice Nox's magic, dark magic that comes from the blood of purity, as soon terror began it was ended until the next heir was born. Markovain, the most powerful White Dragon that came to be. The Elders taught him the old ways of Zaragoza and the responsibilities that came with the Kingdom, the vow of Zara to protect the peace but Markovain's thirst for power wasn't satisfied with vows and nonsense. After years of studying all the forbidden laws and history of the failed rising of Nox believers. He without sympathetically for those he was born to protect bred his own army, Nox Dragons. This time they're not just everyday dragon who took purity, they were stripped of all things that made them Dragons, they were stone cold beasts. As Markovain bred his army everything changed including himself the monster within showed, his once white scales turned into the blackest of black. Markovain and his army were a new kind, one that will sweep throughout Zaragoza with a malicious hate, war broken out all across the realm this time guardians were prepared even after years of utter peace they never forget what they can never forgive.

Zaragoza rained blood for over 100 years, the war never ending Markovain with the upper hand in the battle as for he was immortal, his powers with no equal had wiped away the vow of Zara without a second thought. Even the Elders failed to protect, they had only held him off from finding the next heir of Zaragoza. The only thing that can stop Markovain now which was his only fear the heir... If he can find where they hid the egg he can destroy it and end the cycle forever then he can truly be immortal. The only hope for Zaragoza was a small egg as white as the scales of the White Dragon. The Elders with the last of their strength did what can only be done, opening the gate between realms and hiding the heir somewhere that Markovain will never dare to look. The Elders sent the egg with their successors, the next Elders to be when the heir is born. Before they stepped through the gates they vowed to uphold Zara's and rise Zaragoza from the ashes of Markovain.

They four successors along with the egg returned to Earth. An Earth that has changed much since the Dragons has left it. Markovian spent the last remaining years of his life searching for the egg but never found it, he promised to all that he will come back and end the cycle for good, his last words before the heir hatched bring an end to Markovain's reins.

The new Elders watched from a cave side the world of mankind who came far themselves with a society of their own. The heir being born the Elders was gain the ability to shapeshift into men so they can blend in with mankind and raise the heir without fear of being discovered. Not knowing the state of their home world the Elders stayed on Earth till the heir was strong enough on her own to be brought back and reclaim Zaragoza.

## The Return of Markovain

After the return of Zaragoza's Queen, she and the Elders worked hard to not only regain the peace of the land but the faith in the people who thought they were abandoned but with the help of the Elders and the Queen's two most trusted men she brought to Zaragoza, Rowanheart and Ryan they started to rebuild Zaragoza unknowns to them faith had a twisted sense of humor The Queen wasn't the only one who returned to a home she never knew. Rowanheart, the son of the last true Nox Dragons was sent away as a baby to Earth, as for he was the prophecy of Markovain's return, as he stayed in Zaragoza the ties to the land awoken his true self, Magiie who made Rowanheart her right-hand man was torn between stopping him before the prophecy came true or protected her closest friend she ever had. Ryan growing madder by passing day as Rowanheart still stood among them had tried to kill in his sleep, on the night of the where the stars were hidden Rowanheart and Ryan fraught till close of death until Magiie stepped in causing her blood to be spilled with Rowanheart's the two bloodline mixed was the key from Markovain's return... The stars did not return to the night skies... or any other night.

With a powerful blast of Nox magic striking the grounds where Markovain laid all of Zaragoza had little time to be prepared for his return. Within days an army of Nox dragons was raised and ready to have the lands of Zaragoza covered once more in blood and leading them Markovain with the malice ready to be spread and the desire for the blood of the heir more intense than ever before. War had ended as soon as it had begun, within a night the final battle for Zaragoza was won but at the cost of many. Rowanheart feeling guilty for what he brought into the world sacrifice his life as the Queen's life was held on by a thread, giving her the time she needed Magiie defeated Markovain once and for all. The battle destroyed what had been rebuild which after some time of recovering the people rebuild once more, finally all was at peace in Zaragoza... all but for one. Seeing Ryan madness, the Queen felt betrayed by his actions against her, Rowanheart and Zaragoza she stripped him of all he ever gained in Zaragoza his rank, abilities of the dragon anything that was tied to Zaragoza, making him simply human who the Queen soon exiled after. Ryan back to Earth, telling all who would listen that he was the true prince of a faraway land even as far as calling himself a dragon god.

Magiie heartbroken over the events of what had happened after much time she decided that she needed to be alone, with the agreement with Elders who will watch over Zaragoza until she returns. After a few years spent on earth, Magiie found her mate and after being wed they had agreed that returning to Zaragoza would be the best for the both of them.

Zaragoza was finally returned to the masterpiece it once was in Zara's image, with it's King and Queen ruling it with the love not only the people needed but as the land needed, Zaragoza is stronger than ever.
