West from the Thurmore Kingdom and even the Amarian Kingdom laid the Ourobo Kingdom or the Kingdom of Dragons. Ourobo has been around since the very beginning and has been the den for dragons of all kinds.

It's location is in the middle of a sandy desert, which was nicknamed, the Dragon Desert. In this desert laid desert towns and cities for the reptilian race.

Unlike in the other kingdoms, the Dragon Kingdom has different rules there. Killing one another is permitted as long as it is established as a duel to the death. Due to the Dragon race being a prideful group, the majority of them always try to assert dominance.

And, unlike the other races, the dragon population has one of the longest lifespans, even compared to the Elves, who can live up to nearly a couple thousand years old. And due to that long lifespan, there are very little dragons than before, especially ancient dragons.

It's one of the reasons why aside from the dragons that live there, the humanoid dragons known as Dragonnewts live there as well. Dragonnewts are known for being the Kin of regular and ancient dragons, and unlike them, the Dragonnewts have a vast population.

However, although they are considered the old dragons' kin, that doesn't mean they aren't strong. They may not have the power or strength of the ancient dragons, but they are still a force to be trifled with.

They are also the Dragon King's army, which was said to be one of the most powerful and dangerous army in the world. This was because they have both the power of flight and the certain amount of power from the dragons.

There are other armies from other kingdoms that can fly as well, like the Valkyries in the Elven Kingdom who rides Pegausi, the Winged White Horse. However, the Dragonnewt race are more versatile when flying unlike the Pegausi, which gives them the upper hand in air-combat.

Anyway, within the kingdom, the Dragons and Dragonnewts are more or less secluded from the other kingdoms. The reason behind this was mostly because of past events involving some youngster dragon or Dragonnewt causing trouble in the other kingdoms, especially the former, what with their size and all that.

So, the Ourobo Kingdom kept to themselves, only really leaving the Kingdom if the situation called for it, say the apocalypse. And although that sounds more like a joke than an actually example, it is without a doubt true.

And because of a certain beast slowly rising from its tomb, the end was certainly near for the people living in this world. Because of that, the Dragons and Dragonnewts would most likely be involved in a massive battle in the near future.

It all began when a certain red-haired woman was traveling over the Desert Land of the Ourobo Kingdom. She had a brown leather jacket, military pants, and combat boots on. Despite the boiling temperatures, the woman was completely unfazed by it, barely even breaking a sweat.

As her red scarf blew in the desert wind, she looked on at the endless sand around her. A normal person would've been lost and died in the middle of that barren wasteland, and some actually have.

However, this red-haired woman was far from normal. Her name was Zemmi, the Invincible Dragon. She was one of the oldest and strongest dragons in the world.

Despite her human appearance, Zemmi was not a Dragonnewt but an actual Ancient Dragon. In fact, you could that with her appearance, she doesn't even look like a Dragonnewt but a regular human.

This was one of the advantages of being an ancient dragon. Unlike Dragonnewts, who have a humanoid form but with distinguishing dragon features like dragon horns, scales, and even a tail, an ancient dragon can transform into the form of a normal human while retaining its power and look absolutely ordinary.
