## Background

### BEOFRE THE COMICS

Max was hatched in the dragon kingdom palace to king Matt and queen Serah, only four minutes after his fraternal twin-brother, Andy. At a young age, Max and Andy befriended a dragoness named Crystal. As they grew older, Andy started to spend more time alone with Crystal, leaving Max alone more often. Not wanting to be alone, Max went to find his own friend. He met a dragoness called Sharley, who was working as a maid in the palace with her mother, Kacece.

Years later, Crystal suddenly broke up with Andy, making him sad. Max tried to be there for his brother, but Andy was too heartbroken to listen and too stubborn to accept that Crystal had left him. Then, one day, he let and Max never saw him again. Being the second-born son, Max was not the heir to the throne, but after Andy left, Matt and Serah made the decision to make him the heir instead. But Max declined. He believed that Andy would return home one day and asked his parents to wait. But when a dragon came to the palace and informed them of Andy’s death, Max had to accept his parents wish to become the heir. When Max was crowned king, he chose Sharley as his queen, because he had fallen in love with her and the feeling was mutual.

### IN FLAMES TEMPTATION

Max and Sharley we’re at the throne room when Flames returned back from his lessons with Kelden. He talked to Kelden, asking if Flames spoke to anyone or greeted anyone, on they’re way back to the palace. Max was worried that Flames might become unemotional towards others. Kelden suggests that Flames could spend more time with dragon’s his own age and maybe even attend school like a normal child. Later that day, Max told about this idea to Sharley. She was at first against it, but Max was able to insure her. While talking Sharley had idea for another way to make Flames understand that everyone in the kingdom is equal. The captain of the royal guard, Lorenzo had a daughter, who was the same age as Flames. They could meet and hopefully become friends.

The next day, Max spoke with Lorenzo and invited him and his family to dinner. Unknown to him, Flames saw them speaking. Later, at the throne room, when Max was talking with Kelden about Flames’ lessons, Flames parched in. He was angry about his father’s decision to invite a guard to dinner, saying that the guards place is either at the gates or the hallways. Max got angry of Flames’ behavior and decided to punish him for his harsh words.

Later, Max greeted Lorenzo and his wife, Edith and waited for Sharley and Flames.

One year later, Sharley told Max she was pregnant again and Max felt overjoyed by this. Together they told Flames, he was about to be a big brother. Soon enough, Sharley layed a light-yellow egg and judging by it’s temperature, it was going to be a female. After it hatched, Flames named her Caipirinha.

Two years later, Max waited at the palace together with Caipirinha, while Sharley took Flames to the dragon temple’s school. Year’s later, when Flames was on his 7th school year, Max started talking to him about his duties as the future king. And even told him that he can choose a dragoness to rule by his side as his queen. One evening, Caipirinha wanted to invite her new friend, Don to the palace for dinner and Max and Sharley accepted it, inviting his parents also. The next day, when Don and his parents came, Max was surprised to find out Don’s mother was none other than his old childhood friend, Crystal. He found out that Crystal didn’t even know about Andy, so he told her. When Caipirinha asked Max what he had talked with Crystal with, he didn’t want to tell her.

Years later, Max wed Flames and Cross and after the wedding, he gave Flames lessons in being a good king. But as time went by Flames started being absent from his lessons more and more. He spoke to Flames about this and it made him angry after Max said that he might not be king. Max was horrified by what Fames had said to him and wondered if he should be king at all. Max talked to Sharley about this, saying that if Flames didn’t take his future seriously, he cannot be the next king. Unknown to him, his granddaughter, Blue heard him and went to tell her father. Max was speaking with Caipirinha and Don, who was now her fiancée, when Flames parched in. After seeing how he treated his own mother, Max decided. Flames was no longer the heir to the throne and named Caipirinha the heir instead.

The next day, Max was alone in the throne room, when Flames came in there. Flames blamed Max for being unfair and told him that if he was not going to give him the throne willingly, he will take it and attacked Max. Flames was about to kill Max and Max tried to plead for him, saying that if he did it, he’ll never be king for sure. But Flames had a plan. He will tell everyone that it was an assassin, who killed Max and Flames tried to save him, but was too late. He sank his teeth to Max’s throat and sadden by Flames’ fate to come, he died.

### LEGEND OF AMBER

In the prologue of the story, Max and Sharley had been trying to have a child, but with no results. They started to fear that Sharley might be barren and even considered adopting a child. But then, Sharley did become pregnant and layed one single red egg. The egg soon hatched and Max and Sharley named they’re son, Flames. Max and Sharley held a presentation ceremony for Flames the day after he was hatched and found out he could already talk.
