The Children of Dusk and Dawn

Twenty-one dragons to seal the gloom...
Twenty-one dragons to prevent our doom...

Twenty-one dragons to answer the call...
Twenty-one dragons to save us all...



It's been many eons since The Blind One's banishment to his underground prison, even for dragons, who can live for thousands of years. The Seven and their descendants still rule over their respective lands, each having a distinct elemental magic that they are attuned to. But The Blind One seems to be slowly regaining his power......... There have been various natural disasters across all seven elemental domains, especially near where the Tree is located, and mystics fear that The Blind One may come back, power and strength fully regained, to destroy the Tree from underground, which will ultimately lead to the destruction of all life on Vinnorea, reducing it to a lifeless husk once more...... But there is a prophecy. Three young dragons from all seven of the elemental Clans will be chosen to find The Blind One. To vanquish him once and for all. And to save Vinnorea from destruction. And you....... You are one of the twenty-one dragons, chosen to save all of dragonkind.

***

It is a beautiful morning. The Sun, Bahamut's flaming cocoon, is rising upon the land of Vinnorea. You may live in a group of dragons within your element's territory, or you may simply be a loner, an outsider, a dragon who doesn't have a group. Or you may be part of one of the many mixed-element packs roaming a neutral area. But no matter where you live, or who you live with...... You have a strange feeling that the events that unfold today and in the days that follow may change your life..................

Kaen finds themselves in the warmth of their home. They blink open their eyes, standing up tall and powerful. Their scales were a gentle orange, a sign that they woke up in a good mood. They let out a soft sigh, a small amount of smoke leaving their nostrils.

Miru woke up and stretched her wings. She groggily walked over to catch breakfast at a nearby lake. She caught a rather large salmon and ate it. Miru took flight like she always did in the morning and landed in a small clearing. She lit a small twig on fire and used it to engrave the bark of a log. She sighed contently as she continued.

Zephie had woken up and was already out and flying through the air. She needed to get some fresh air and fly around, before trying to hunt anything, despite her hunger for food...

Delta was still asleep under a tree. He slowly opened his eyes, before looking up at the sky

---

Sivalla started to wake, groaning. Somebody was at her side, trying to flip her onto her belly. Sivalla was a little strange, she always slept on her back. She thought it was more comfortable. A voice pierced the gloom of her mind. "Sivalla. Wake up. Come on, you're not on a day off." "Oh, five more minutes, Darick? I'm tired." Her accent was something to behold, and nobody really knew where it came from. "You should have gone to sleep sooner, then." "But I wasn't tired then." A huff, then another hard shove. "Wake up."

As per usual, the angelic light dragon was laying next to the river, her head laying against the moist ground. Her claws were digging into the dirt next to the whispering water rushing past. She had been drawing again, glad to be alone with her thoughts and daydreams, and had fallen asleep, as she normally did, so her family barely worried. She lived with the other light dragons, but she was more of the shy type, socially awkward, and found it hard to keep up a conversation without loosing interest, so she found the water easier to hand out with. Her wings were curled in, appearing a pile of feathers on Hakka's back, so she looked like a feathery rock from a distance. Not that anyone would see her, as this river was rather deserted.

Terra slowly slid out of the ground, shaking off her massive wings. She yawned, her tusks gleaming. She stretched her thick legs, and shivered slowly “Ah. New day, new horizons” she said in a deep voice, wrinkling her snout at a bunny skeleton. “Hmmm... feels weird today. Eh, I don’t care” she chuckled


Wravier opened her blood red eyes, and moved each one independently, snarling. She fluttered her insect-like wings with a buzz noise, and flew to the ground from the large tree she was coiled around. Her tail dragged along the ground as she stalked random things, just for the morning thrill of death. She shivered, and raised her head up slowly “something feels...odd” she said, her voice layered and vibrating

---

Zephie flew around for a while around the air dragon territory, before landing. "I wonder if Delta's awake.." The air dragon muttered to herself, before shaking her head "No, he hates waking up this early. Better not disturb him." She flew back up into the air, looking for any delicious prey she could eat.

Delta yawned, moving his leafy wings. He started walking around to gather food. Maybe to share it with other nature dragons, or better, sneak some in for Zephie. He would fly in the air to find food but as a nature dragon, he preferred not to.

---

The female dragon silently began to hunt, their wings spreading and taking in the warm sun. It was another hot day but for a fire dragon like them, they were pretty used to it. They sighed, landing and searching for food.

Miru finished and smiled, satisfied. She left it in the clearing and flew away. Miru spotted a dragon wandering in the forest and immediately turned the other direction. She found a river with lots of fish and landed. Miru licked her lips and started fishing.

---

Finally, Sivalla was flipped onto her belly. "You're no fun," she muttered to Darick. Darick was another Air dragon, and the only other dragon she really knew. Another huff from Darick. "I'm not supposed to be fun, I'm supposed to be your brother." "Brothers are supposed to be fun, you dork." That earned the dragoness a hard jab in the ribs. Opening her eyes, Sivalla sat up. "So what? I'm on patrol, right?" Darick nodded. "Right then." Sivalla spread her wings and launched herself into the air, shivering as something seemed to pass over her. 'That was weird..' Flapping her wings again, Sivalla rose higher into the air.

Zephie spotted a small prey wondering about. Immediately diving down she streached out her sharp talons out to grab it. If she did have front legs it would've been harder to master, but since she was a Wyvern, she didn't have to worry about it. Simple as dive, grab then fly away.

Delta sighed, walking about searching for food. Should he be quiet? He already was, but the chrunching of leaves was already a giveaway to any prey.

Eeta had woken up from his secluded, lonely hole in the seafloor. He always has to move each night due to not having a home of his own, and the problem of others trying to attack him. The light from above barely reached here, as he was far below the ocean next to the Water Kingdom. So far nothing seemed to be a problem to him, allowing him to go back to sleep, if he was lucky he could sleep for another day. Sadly, today wasn’t his day. As usual, he would always end up crashing in another dragon’s territory. A few moments after closing his eyes, distant rumbles caused his eyes to fly open, revealing the sight of an enormous water dragon looming above him. “What are you doing here...” the deep, threatening voice boomed through the water. Eeta was neither impressed nor interested in mingling with this dragon, so he closed his eyes, let out a sigh, and tried to go back to sleep. “Leave me alone, will ya?” Eeta mumbled, knowing that it wouldn’t deter the dragon trying to scare him off. An echoing laugh surrounded him, followed by a more serious threat. “You’ve stumbled into a place where you shouldn’t be, I would assume that at least deserves a punishment by itself... Of course I won’t leave you alone, you’ve pissed me off already and I’m here to do something about it... I wouldn’t make such a statement so casually knowing your opponent is four times your size...” another shorter laugh echoed through the water once again. Stretching, Emera let out a groan before giving his response. “Yeah yeah I know, cut to the fun part can ya?” A small chuckle followed, but was almost drowned out by the still echoing laughter. The larger dragon was quite shocked by the response, but still stood firm. “Oh? So you still want to fight... Alright, will do...” Within seconds he had let out a fury of attacks ranging from swipes, to tail flicks, to pounding the sea floor to create fissures. Only a single tail flick managed to make contact, sending him a few meters away. Eeta seemed unfazed by it all, he even seemed a bit bored. “Fine fine I’ll leave, but not before I’ve had my share of the fun...” he said through a yawn. Moments later, the water around the two began to drop rapidly. The bigger dragon’s body temperature dropped massively, leading to him growing weaker and weaker. Before he could speak again, he was trapped in a block of ice. Without checking if he was still alive or not, Eeta began to swim away. He just wanted to go back to sleep...

(sorry for everyone that read this, I might’ve went overboard...)

Echo woke up, in her dark cave. “Oh, shut up, you stupid animal.” She mumbled, sleepily slashing the poor wandering bunny to shreds with her sharp talons. Once she was fully awake, she began to eat the bunny, while carving a devil’s wing into the skull of some dead animal. Around her were skins and bones of all kinds, carefully carved into ‘beautiful’ pieces of art. The paint was stored somewhere on the TOP shelf....well, if you called blood paint.


Meanwhile, Scarlett had also woken up. She stretched her wings and took off into the air, manipulating it so that she didn’t have to flap her wings as much. She spotted fish in the water, and dived to grab it

Delta had found some berries in the tree and what looked like a sparrow. The problem was he had to fly up there to kill and eat it. But he had a solution to his grounded problem. Quickly spitting out his signature blinding venom it splatted against the bark of the tree, way too low to blind the sparrow. He grumbled, walking off towards the neutral area between the air and dark territory "I'd rather get Zephie to kill it, or one of those rabbits."

Zephie had almost flown straight into the dark dragon's territory, backing away from the place that scared her as a little dragon. She landed on the ground, dragging the fresh caught prey away by a few meters before eating it

---

Miru piled all the fish she caught into a small hole near the cave she lived in. She munched on some salmon before covering the hole. She grabbed a small knife that she found and began carving.

---

Echo hissed at the commotion outside, when would they LEARN, not to make so much noise just outside the territory? She vented her feelings by slashing open the bunny’s heart

---

She frowned around, her nostrils flared “is someone there? I hear soemthing” she growled, snapping around with cat like reflexes. Her claws gleamed as she slashed at a deer, leaking everything inside out slowly. She frowned “oh. Just a deer” she growled

---

Sivalla let out a roar, the dark colored dragon standing out easily against the sky. For being an Air Dragon, her scales were shockingly black, the exception being the membrane on her wings, which was bright blue. She looked more like a Dark or Water dragon than anything. Up in the air, though, she was clearly an Air dragon. The winds lifted her and pushed her to where she wanted to go, her mind reading the subtle shifts in air as she went. 'Pssh, forget the stupid patrol. This feels great!'

Delta walked by the tree of life, amazed at its size and the fact it's been here for a long time, not even his parents were born back then. he spotted Zephie in the distance, making unusual movements

Zephie was trying to decide if she wanted to be brave and walk into the dark dragon's territory or just fly away and never come back.
