Once upon a time a long long time ago...
There lived a beautiful queen with green hair, she lived happily ever after, except that she
was very lonely.

One day a younger man with blue hair who had lost his way at sea came to the Castle,his name was Kyle and Kyle marveled at the green-haired queen who was a descendant of the noble fairies, and while he was a prince from a far-off land on the coast and plagued by many duties, he felt true peace in her name.
Although he was engaged to the future princess of a distant land of far away she had not even been born yet, and he soon felt a deep love for his hostess, so he proposed and her acceptance brought a smile to his face.

But all was not well...
As a descended of the blessed fairys The Green Queen might not be able to give birth to a Child of Mann and so she cried and prayed to the Gods hoping for her love to some day birth fruit,
One day to strangers came to the castle begging for help, the Queen oppend the strangers who were Zeus and Odin two of the three lords of the Gods.


As thank for her Kindness the two decided to grant her wish,but because both of them thought themselves better than the other they didn't inform the other of their intend
And both off them had different ideas of how to grant her wish, while Zeus decided to simply make her able to have a human child Odin loved complicated things so he turned her in to a human,
Both blessings were very different and connected with eachother granting the still unborn child a power that would lay dormant until one day awoken.
However, both parents didn't this
The Queen gave her Son the name "Darien" Which, in the language of the fairies, referred to "gift", which the queen explained to her husband, saying that it also felt to her that their son together was a divine gift and even a miracle.

T
he young prince soon demonstrated a multitude of talents, in politics as well as in business, in fistfights as well as in the use of spear and sword, in herbalism as well as in crafts and diplomacy. When Darien could not sleep at night, the queen would tell stories to her son, However, the exploits of brave knights and the adventures of young damsels only seemed to tire However, he loved stories about dragons, most of all he liked the stories about a particularly brave red dragon named Raskiheel, who faced every opponent, no matter how powerful, and undertook every adventure, no matter how foolhardy.

However, the happiness of those young family didn't last forever. In the same year that Darien was born, his father's original fiancé was born. However, it appeared that after her father died and so her mother queen lost the will to live that neither of them would survive the birth,
ad so....
In order to preserve the fruit of her love, the queen entered into an affair with the devil Baa'al to ensure that her child would be born safely....
The devil accepted that he could cast his cursed witchcraft on the unborn girl

The princess had fair blond hair, And was beautiful, her voice was so lovely that the birds fell silent to her humming, her eyes were a shining sapphire blue, and her laughter was so lovely that anyone's heart would beat faster, but by the witchcraft of the devil Baa'al she became cruel, vindictive and Lauren's clingy. Because of this, she was soon dubbed "the devil's daughter"
across the country. The princess's name was Riliane lucifen d'autriche, in hopes of gaining more land and influence, the ministers told the princess of her broken engagement to Prince Kyle, embellishing their stories and saying the prince who was only meant to love her had betrayed her.


They suggested that to the Assassination of the Green Queen would show the World that she wasn't as weak as they thought,
Hearing that people thought her weak pulled the Princess in a fit of rage,exactly as the Ministers had planned from the start,
And so....
"They shall be teachd a lesson!"
She declared as she ordered the Green Queen's Death.
And so it came about that that Green Queen who was an heiress to the blessed fairies died by the knife of a common murderer, because, unaware that she had become a human,
she tried to use her fairy magic,
which she was no longer able to do.
The death of his mother was a difficult time for the young prince, his father had always been aloof,
but now he seemed no longer able to bear the nearness of his own son,
perhaps because his mortal soul felt that the power of the two princes of the gods drained his blood completely had neutralized ?
That while the boy was his wife's son,
His father was more Zeus and Odin than he ever will be.
That's why Darien often moved into the forest, he doesn't know why but he could hear something in the chirping of the birds that apparently nobody else could hear.
One day he found the entrance to a cave which he had never noticed before, the cave smelled strangely of sulfur and tinder.
Darien, the ever-curious boy that he was, decided to examine them, so he cautiously slipped inside.
It was completely dark in the cave Darien had to be extremely careful not to stumble, he also felt the wetness in the air on his skin,
Then he saw a light in the distance and went towards it and found himself face to face with a huge red dragon.

What are you doing in my den, chick?" The dragon demanded to know Darien was overwhelmed, he never expected that one day he would face a real dragon. Gathering himself though, he bowed and introduced himself, knowing dragons were proud creatures. "I bid you my humblest greetings, dear lord of this cave, I am the prince of this land, my name is Darien" The dragon narrowed his eyes "It's unusual for a human being to seek open conversation with my kind, tell me boy aren't you afraid of being devoured?" The young prince plucked up all his courage and said to the sublime beast with absolute conviction. "The tales of the great dragon Raskiheel show that dragons are exalted beings who never kill without honor, and I am too weak to be a worthy enemy for you..." "Whahaha whahaha hahaha... Hahaha hahaha haha whahaha..." The dragon began to laugh terribly, then opened its massive jaws, showing its enormous fangs.
So you like my stories boy? Interesting..." said the dragon "Your stories...?" asked Darien Then he realized... "YOU ARE RASKIHEEL!?!?!!"
the young prince was amazed he couldn't believe he was face to face with the hero of his libliengs stories.
"Yes it's true, all the stories about my youth are true, all my struggles, all my victories, all my achievements, everything, and what did it all bring me in the end...?"
The beginning of the dragon's words was full of nostalgia, but his question at the end was full of anger, but he wasn't done yet. "I have no mate, no child, no family of any kind! I don't even know who my own parents are!" lamented Raskiheel
"And yet.... I have an idea" said the dragon He raised his right front claw and scratched himself... Then the dragon knocked the boy over and then inflicted a wound on his neck into which he let his own blood flow.
Darien could feel the dragon's blood burning outward from them as he screamed in excruciating pain.
"Either you are too weak and will die... or you are strong enough and will be reborn as my son..." said the dragon coldly.
The still slumbering powers of Zeus and Odin reacted to the Dragonborn, and the young prince fainted. When he woke up, the world around him seemed to have grown too small...
"Good morning my son..."
Raskiheel said to Darien,
then he recognized it...
The world wasn't small, he was a dragon...
What Darien didn't know was that he wasn't just any dragon with the divine power of Odin and Zeus and the blood of the greatest of the red dragons, he was a divine dragon and probably one of the most powerful, if not THE most powerful dragons....

Darien's new dragon body was covered with scales blacker than the darkest night,and the mighty primordial Fire arising from the fiery blood of Raskiheel and the latent power of the two godlords shone through his eyes.
"Impressive" said the great dragon "I may have never seen him, but I am sure that you resemble our ancestor the sublime dragon Nihoggrê..." he said proudly
The first ability Raskiheel bestowed upon his new foster son was to revert to his original human form, allowing the young prince to continue going about his daily routine while also learning to unleash his new abilities as a dragon.
Towards the end of his fourteenth year, two important events in Darien's life occurred. First, he passed the dragon maturity test, which made him a full member of dragon society, which meant that his time under Raskiheel ended. Kyle then called his son over and explained that they were going to declare war on the devil's daughter's kingdom, and he wanted his son to know the face of the enemy, so he showed Darien a portrait of her.

When Darien saw this Portrait of Riliane he was taken over by an unimaginable strong emotion,he didn't know what it was but it almost feeld... warm ?
He didn't know how too describe it, the only thing he knew was that he would never be able to bring himself to hate her,no matter what....
The two Armies faced each other ad the breaking of down and there the forces of the Devil's Child failed,as the Tyrant fleet her falling Kingdom,all remaining Soldiers were sended out to find her in the City,even the people of the country who had been oppressed for so long were helping the search for her.
Only Darien alone searched in the Woods and found her,as he transformed and searched from above the trees,as he returned to his human form draw his sword with tears in his eyes and decided that he would give her a swift painless death despite everything she had done.
When Riliane noticed someone was approaching her she decided to face him head on,as Darien and Riliane went face to face with eachother for the first time both of them fall in love with each other first sight.
Darien with a heavy heart explained who he was and why he was here the it was almost rivers running out of his eyes pleading to heaven not to have to take the live of his love.
Riliane only smiled at him the most beautiful smile the World had ever seen telling him that she was now ready to accept her fate...

When Darien saw Riliane's smile, his heart started beating faster, his tears burned hotter than ever in his eyes.
He sheathed his sword and approached Riliane, completely overwhelmed, the two shared their first kiss.
In the same breath, the two confessed their love for each other, they took each other's hands and ran away, Darien showed Riliane his dragon side which he had kept secret from his father before, and he used the power of his dragon form to feign his and Riliane's death.
As a dragon he flew with Riliane on his back to one to the far Beach of an unknown country, where a chapel stood on a hill, there they got married.

Darien and Riliane lived happily ever after in that place, Riliane adopted a new identity under the name Rin and found work in a nearby wise Orphanage taking care of the children, and Darien became a hunter, his dragon instincts made it so easy to track down even the most skilful prey.
After a while the young couple became a daughter whom they named Anne, Anne was a happy young girl who loved flowers and books alike.
At the tender age of seven she already had countless suitors among the boys in the village. Her father was most proud of the fact that she inherited his ability to become a dragon.

And so the three of them lived happily and contentedly together for a long time until one night Anne overheard a conversation between her parents.
"..but can you really forgive me?" Riliane asked her husband "After all, I was the one who took your mother from you..." said Riliane full of regret.
"And you gave birth to my daughter, isn't that reason enough to forgive you love?" Darien asked his wife.
Riliane wanted to say something but than Anne decided to reveal herself
"Moma? Papa? What are you talking about,what happened? Why Momy crying...?" She asked.
Darien and Riliane finally decided to tell their Daughter the whole truth about who they are and why they had come to live here,as they had lived as a simple normal family Anne had never known the truth before this day.
Anne couldn't believe what she heard,
She couldn't believe what horrible deeds her sweet loving Mother had once committed,what great pain she'd brought about so many,she looked at her Father.
"And you still love Mom even after everything ?"Anne asked Darien
"Yes,with all of my heart and soul,
My heart belongs forever to her and that will never change"Darien told his Daughter full of conviction.
Anne smiled"Than i Cann also love Momy"the young Dragon girl said laughing
"I will hope so young one!
I am your Mother after all !"
Riliane said jokingly pretending to be offended.

After that day, the three continued to live as they had always done up to then,
One day Darien decided to introduce his family to his dragon father.
Raskiheel was of course delighted that Darien had continued his bloodline and found a beautiful partner.
They spent a few days there and Raskiheel had time to be a totally doting grandfather to Anne.
However, they did not see tragedy coming when, on their regular visits, they recognized some of the woodcutters in the forests where Raskiheel's cave was located.
People couldn't believe that their late prince had been seen with the devil's daughter and a dragon, one day the rumors reached King Kyle.
The king couldn't believe the rumours, he had seen himself how a black dragon burned down the forest in which Darien had followed the murderer princess, he had even seen the burnt clothes.
He knew his son was dead, just as he knew he had never been a good father, no Darien and Riliane were both dead, and if not why should they wander together if they lived?
However, the king decided to go after the rumors to get rid of them.
When the King went to the place were his late Son and the Demon Child were supposedly seen.
He found to his surprise a young family of a Father,Mother and Daughter,he followed the little family who to his surprise went to the Woods,after a short while the Daughter asked if she could go to "that Place" alone,the Parents allowed it so they separated.
The King decided to follow the child thinking she might easier open up to who they were and why they were here
After a while chasing after the impossibly agile child he came to a part of the Woods he had never been,of course there were many ways in this forest he still didn't know,his Wife and Son had always been better inline with The Flora and Fauna than he ever would be.
When the young Girl finally stopped the were come to a place that almost looked like a burial ground,but it holds only one grave.
The King knew he should leave but he was to curious when the Girl started to talk to the Grave stone.
"Hello Grandma...?
I know i probably anoy you but could you please forgive Momy for killing you ?"
King Kyle didn't believe what he was hearing,the Girls Mother had murdered her Grandmother? Why ?
"I know everyone hates her and calls her a Demon Child...."
Kyle was almost out off Breath
The young Girls voice sounded exactly like his late Queen,at first he ignored it believing he was just loosing it,but her voice was EXACTLY The same as his beloved's for a moment he though she was actually still alive and this was actually her,he was on the verge off comming out of his hiding place and embrace the hooded figure.
But than his jaar dropped
The figure let her cloak fall and what became visible looked almost exactly like "The Devil's Daughter" except her eyes and voice which looked exactly like his dead lover.
"I know they call Momy a Child of the devil but she was cursed in a way...
She is....
I love her so much...
Please Grandma Michaela please forgive Momy! I love her so much so please !"
The Girl pleaded in a desperate voice.
The King's heart almost stopped for a moment as he couldn't believe what she had said,he knew he had been distant to his Son- to distant,but had Darien really married Riliane after everything that she had caused and even Sired a Child with her ?
His doubts were all but erased as the Parents appeared,this Mother and Father were without a doubt Riliane lucifen d'autriche and his own Son Darien.
While Kyle still hid himself in silent rage so he could hear climpses of their conversations.
He learned to his surprise that Darien himself had created this cemetery,after he heard that the King observed the carefully crafted gravestone,the set bundrys of it,as well as the wooden stacks and the entire of the hand working involved in the crafting of this place.
Everything was beautiful and extremely well made,and Kyle hadn't even known it existed,no ! His Queen's murderer had paid her respect here before he even knew it existed,he was once again reminded what a poor Father he'd been to his Son.
But this still didn't justify Darien's betrayal in marrying the "Daughter of Evil" and staging his own death!
His Son would have to pay the price for his actions,the only one he would spare was the little Anne.
The Girl may look like the Daughter of Evil,but her voice,behavior,movement and even the way she spoke was exactly like Michaela.
"The eyes are the Window to the Soul" they said,and it seemed true as Anne who had the same eyes as Michaela also seemd to resemble her Soul.
The King was observing his grandchild with a conviction that edged on obsession.
Riliane had started to cry in Dariens Arms with a guilt filled face and the Prince comforted her.
The next day, the king summoned some of his guards, which he led in secretly to the tomb.
not telling any of them where to go or what they were going to do, only to lie low until he gave orders.
Soon Riliane, Darien and Anne appeared there and they all watched the happening.
they couldn't believe what they heard, their lost prince had married that demon child?
"Take them hold!" commanded the king. The guards rushed out of their hiding places and drew their weapons.
The king emerged last and proclaimed. "I really wish we were meeting at more fortunate circumstances, but you have chosen who has your heart.
if you surrender without a fight we can avoid unnecessary bloodshed and I promise you a fair trial"he said.
"And what about my wife and my child father?" the boy asked calmly.
His father gave him a disdainful look and explained
"My granddaughter is innocent of any crime, so she will return to the palace with me as a princess of this country. As for this daughter of Satan....
Well, she will face the just punishment she once escaped and be reunited with her beloved guillotine!"
The prince looked to his princess that he loved so much, and the thought of losing her ignited divine dragon fire in his heart as he transformed into a dragon with his eyes full of tears.
When Anne said that her father was ready to fight him, she followed and the king and his servants now faced two gigantic and mighty dragons.

The fight was terrible, but the warriors could not withstand of the primal power of the dragons and their fire and were completely defeated.
However, Darien and Anne were careful not to shed blood on the grounds of Michaela's memorial, Which is why they left the defeated guards beaten on the ground.
"I can't believe it!" the king announced angrily
"She killed Michaela! She took your mother's life! How can you swear your love to her out of all the people in the world!?!!!?!"
Anne and Darien returned to their human forms, each taking Riliane by the hand And wanted to go, but the king, more hated than ever by his son's betrayal, seized his sword and threw himself with a cry upon his own child.
In his anger the king stumbled and fell on his own sword and lost his life.
After that day Darien and Riliane returned to the Kingdom and Anne took her rightfull place as a Princess.
Not long after that Riliane vined up Pregnant once again and she and Darien welcomed their little Prince in to the World,a young boy who would widely be known for his love of the Sky,as he enjod the Dragon gift of Wings far more than mortals traveling.
And so the Royal Dragon bloodline had her beginning and the Kingdom prospered,of course not all were forgiven the young Queen,and the Ministers of her fromer Kingdom who'd always given her bad advice did everything in their power to denounce her and to curse her Name,as they feard she might return and try to reclaim her Nation from them.
Multiple attempts on Riliane's life had been made,but no Assassin was able to face three rage filled Dragons who could burn you to ash with fire,turn you to eyes or incinerated you with lightning.
And one day a Miracle happened
The green roses that had been a native to the nation and had been extinct for a Milenia suddenly bloomed again,the Last words of the Queen when she died had been that she only wished for a chance to see the green roses and when that happened she would forgive any sins no matter how dark.
And so the people said the Queen had forgiven "the Daughter of Evil" and accepted her as her Daughter for warming the heart of her Son.
And so thy lived happily ever after.
