Isaiah was the first Dragon Lord.
History hailed him as the unifier, the first arbiter of draconic justice. He emerged from nowhere one day, a force of nature with scales of obsidian and eyes that held the cold fire of judgment.
He began hunting down the ancient, wicked dragons who preyed upon the weak, his power so absolute none could defy him, his morality so unimpeachable none could question him. He became a legend woven into law.
He married Kirana, the Ice Dragon, a love as deep and enduring as the glaciers. They bore a son, Raden. Together, the three founded the Alicei Bloodline, a dynasty born of strength, justice, and love.
But the foundation of that dynasty was a lie, buried in forgotten snow.
One day, as Raden turned twenty, a Voice descended.
"Raden Alicei, you are chosen as the next Key Bearer."
Isaiah heard it. Kirana heard it. Raden heard it.
And with the Voice, a dam broke in Isaiah's mind.
