Game 1 Outline |
You whirl round on your scaly, three-clawed, size twenty feet to discover a small crowd of half-dragons standing in front of you. They're about the same size as humans, 5-6 feet tall in stature, and possessing no wings, five fingers and toes (although ending in pointy black claws), and with little more than scales and snouts to distinguish them from the norm.
"What are you creatures? How come so much as changed?" you growl, lashing your tail against the ground again in rage. A more draconic-looking man steps from the crowd. You notice he only has four fingers, and the remnants of a tail, too.
"I am Keref Ashaan. And you are the great dragon of legend, the first of Zero's prey and the only one to fight against him." the draconic man bows.
"The first? But Zero killed my family.. just last night.. And how come the cave looks so old? And where the fuck did you all appear from?! AND HOW COME I'M CHANGED?!" you roar. Just yesterday you were an ordinary man, and now you're a dragon-human hybrid of legendary status. How the hell?!
"Ah, I see you must have been a fledgling, perhaps a human changed into a dragon, when Zero trapped you. Dragons can hibrenate for many centuries at a trot. You were trapped underneath the rocks over two millenia ago. Even when the rocks eroded away, you were nothing but a statue of a Dragon. But you have been called back because Zero has returned to dragon-hunting.. And has done something terrible." Keref whispers the last sentence, his huge draconic green eyes wide.
"What has he done?" you ask, curious.
"He has exacted an ancient, terrible curse. You see, Zero used to be a dragon, like you or I. But he used a secret word of command, known by few and used by less, to transform himself into a Drake, a human-dragon. He did this because Drakes can live among humans without the same predatorial instincts as Dragons, and mingle freely among the Dragon population too, killing at will, and being flame-retardant. But he recently discovered that, with the correct tools, he could transform EVERYBODY ON THE PLANET into a drake. Not just Dragons, but all humans. All the animals would become lizards, but he didn't really give a shit about that." Keref sighes sadly.
"So you used to be human?" you ask.
"No, I was a Dragon. That's why I am less human. The people behind me all used to be human, however.. they awoke yesterday to discover their respective towns in ruins, their bodies changed, and their voices gone (why, I do not know - perhaps that is another part of Zero's curse). They still had their minds, however, and I came to them and told them there might still be hope.. Hope of an ancient Dragon re-awakening." he bows to you.
"But.. What the Hell am I supposed to do? I knew nothing back then. I fought, but Zero still half-killed me with a single flick of his wrist!" you say desperately.
"Aha! But the older a Dragon is, the more advanced his powers. You're two thousand years old, now. Your strength is immense, whether you know it or not, and although Zero is stronger, you can rally more human-drakes and dragon-drakes to your side and fight Zero."
"Welcome to the Year 4004.." you sigh to yourself in a state of abject despair
