This Hatchling strikes down a thunderbolt.

### Adult

It is a Lightning Dragon that hurls scorching lightning bolts akin to flames.

Before the War of Light and Darkness, it was the member of Secreta that followed Darknix. Enthralled by the dream of Darknix's shadowy world, it believes that only darkness holds true salvation. It dreams of a world cloaked in darkness rather than light, yearning for freedom to roam in the depths of shadows. Known for its unwavering loyalty to Darknix, it is said to pursue Darknix's commands with a commitment so fervent that it would even put its life at stake. When confronted with a fierce adversary, it swiftly evades their attacks at the speed of light and then unleashes lightning upon the foe's vulnerabilities.

## Story

### A World in Darkness

There is an energy that only those who love darkness can know. It was not a negative emotion like loneliness, fear, anger, or selfishness.

Quietness, stability, peace... The darkness that Fides felt was such a peaceful emotion, that Fides had no choice but to love the dark.

Fides struck a thunderbolt in the dark. When lightning struck, It could feel the beating that made its heart tingle.

Fides always wanted to announce its presence in the dark and attract the attention of the dragons who would fight it. Since lightning was the only way to make itself known in the endless darkness, Fides struck down the thunderbolts without stopping.

It was the same that day. The night was as dark as usual. Fides was enjoying the quiet darkness, moving nimbly between the thunderbolts it had struck. At that time, a dragon's roar was heard not far away.

Is it the joy of victory or the exasperation of pleasure?

Fides headed in the direction from which the sound was heard, dreaming of a battle with the dragon that won victory.

Numerous monsters had fallen where Fides' feet stopped, and the one who reigned over the fallen monsters was a single dragon.

"Why did you fight against so many monsters? Even if they aren't as strong as you, a weak monster will quickly lose their life."

"I just didn't want to see them running wild in the quiet darkness. Is there any need for more meaning than that?"

Fides immediately recognized the dragon loved by the darkness.

Darknix was enveloped in dark energy, and that energy was felt only by Darknix. The dark energy, which created a deeper darkness just for Darknix, contained a deep silence that it had never felt before.

"What kind of darkness do you want?"

Fides asked. Darknix answered without hesitation.

"I just continue the quiet, peaceful darkness."

Because the only comfort of Fides was to live in the quiet and peaceful darkness, striking lightning. Fides wanted to protect that comfort.

"Darknix, I want to share that with you."

"Then I should test your strength."

Darknix spread its wings. The dark energy felt from the flapping wings of Darknix instantly filled the forest. Fides quickly flew through the darkness and prepared to strike with lightning.

A large thunderbolt struck from the sky. The two dragons flew through the sky to fight each other. Even Fides, who was faster than anyone else, could feel the dark energy emitted by Darknix.

The two dragons continued their fight to test each other's skills. Lightning struck so dark that the lightning was invisible and the dark energy scattered from the forest gradually began to increase in size.

A forest where many monsters fled. There was no end in sight to the fight between the two dragons. Darknix recognized the strength of Fides and decided to join forces.

## Evolution

### Egg

It is an egg containing a thunderbolt. When hatching, a huge thunderbolt strikes from the sky, signaling the egg is about to hatch. As it contains a huge lightning bolt, it cannot be easily touched, and electric shock accidents are frequent as a result. When found in a grassy forest, the egg is so powerful that the animals around it are electrocuted.

### Hatch

From the moment it hatches, it flies swiftly toward the place where the lightning strikes. Small amounts of static electricity is generated every time it flies, but it is not threatening. It hates light so much that you can only see it sleeping during the day. Its favorite days are cloudy days, when it climbs high places to test the power of its lightning.

### Hatchling

Unlike hatches, hatchlings summon powerful lightning strikes. On a stormy night, it shows off its power by striking down the biggest thunderbolt. It goes around looking for various Lightning Dragons and shows off its strength. Just like when it hatched, it hates light and spends time in dark caves.

When spending time in a cave, it shows a ruthless side, such as striking down lightning on intruders who visit the cave.

### Adult

It is a dragon that strikes down lightning in the dark. It enjoys moving at very fast speeds. It is difficult to confirm the speed of Fides' movement, but it is rumored that it travels by lightning. When Fides moves, it usually spreads its wings to move between lightning bolts, and at this time, static electricity is generated around the area where Fides moves. You need to be careful of Fides’ static electricity, because it contains the powerful lightning energy.

It is a dragon that hates light. For this reason, it is often active only at night when it is dark. It does not strike with lightning during the day and mostly spends its time in dark caves, sleeping or dueling with other dragons to conserve its strength.

Fides often fights with Lightning Element dragons. During this fight, Fides's wings are torn, and its torn wings can absorb lightning and create more powerful thunderbolts. Its torn wings are one of the criteria to check the strength of Fides.
