In the olden days, long before the different cultures of the world acknowledged one another, there was a small clan hidden away in Japan's forested mountains. The people of this clan were expert hunters, amazing healers, and good scholars in the ways of the many creatures the forest held. XXX
But, more than anything, they were the first Dragon Riders. XXX
Dragons. Bodies as long as the tallest trees, scales strong as the thickest armor. They were the Kings of the forest, at the top of the food chain, and they were feared by many. But this clan, their name long forgotten, were unafraid of the beasts, and instead of cowering, they befriended them. XXXXX
And so, the first Dragon Riders were born. As the cultures of the world came together, word of dragons' loyalty and all-knowing intelligence grew. Dragons became a part of the human's society, became loved. There would always be those who refused to align, but dragon lives were protected. XXXXXX
Now, thousands of years later, the Dragon Riders Academy sits, hidden away in the same forest where the very first Dragon Riders came to be. Each year many students apply to become Dragon Riders, and while most walk away without a dragon, there are always those who succeed in the art. XXXXX
Tadashi has always been an outcast at the academy. His dragon form, while beautiful beyond compare, is far too large and domineering, scaring away any potential riders. And even in his more docile human form, Tadashi's terrible personality alienates him from his peers. Until, one day, a rider appears, determined to tame him even if it takes a lifetime. XX
