The Dragon of the Shadows in the Dark [Being Re-Written]

The 6 Dragons: Shu-Ten The Ryokuryuu

The Red Dragon, Hiryuu, took the form of a human in order to rule the country, but he started to fight against the humans. Since the hearts of humans grew evil, they all forgot about god and captured the Hiryuu because of their desire to obtain his power and authority. When all of this turned dull, the four dragons Blue, Green, White and Yellow, with the help of the Black Dragon, descended from the skies to save Hiryuu and destroy the humans, who have forgotten to cherish and heed the gods

However, Hiryuu rejected that and claimed that he is now human, and that he will never betray the humans because he loves them. The five dragons didn't want to lose Hiryuu because they loved him, therefore the dragons gave their blood to human warriors and gave them power in order to protect and never betray Hiryuu. Each human warrior possessed a unique power, one with sharp claws that could cut through anything, one with eyes to see far off into the distance, one with a strong body that could never get ill, one with legs that could jump high up the sky, and the final warrior said to have wings to carry the other Dragon Warriors to their destiny.

It wasn't long until Hiryuu went to sleep, being weary from the battling, therefore the five dragons' mission has ended. The five dragon warriors thought of their King, who no longer moved, and started to mourn, even though they don't know if it was the blood inside them that were mourning or if it's when they're grieving for losing someone special. At the end, the five dragon warriors knew that their power is beyond human so they left their tribes, parted their ways and disappeared, this is how the five tribes of Kouka Kingdom is formed.

However, the Black Dragon's whereabouts are unknown, although the Black Dragon is rumored to have been last see flying into the sky and is said to be living among the clouds, watching over her brothers from above. Time to time sending a Raven to assist them in their trying times of need, the Dragon Warrior in need will know that it was the Black Dragon who sent the Raven because of it's blood red eyes and it is believed that when the Raven is sent down it will "speak through the blood of the Dragon to guide them".

I walk towards the palace training grounds my special hand crafted bow in my palms and my favorite quiver full of my hand made arrows on my back, the strap running across my chest. I slowly walk towards the targets in particular, but I stop short, realizing two things simultaneously. 1) I am not alone and 2) the person that I am here with is asleep. I sigh softly and, as quietly as I can, I place down my bow and arrows, then I make my way towards a mop of green hair. I smile a bit as I see the Ryokuryuu at a time when his guard is down, a truly rare thing to experience.

His spear is in his hands as his head lies against it, small strands of his bangs are stuck to the wooden shaft of his favored weapon. His mouth of open just slightly as a small drop of drool runs down his chin, his shoulders relaxed and his human leg is stretched out while his dragon leg is bent. I chuckle as I walk away and to the kitchen, on the way to make some simple tea and gather some sake for myself and Shu-Ten. I gather the ingredients and prepare the tea, and while the tea finishes I take the sake down from one of the wine cabinets, checking it to make sure it's not too strong.

Next, I gather the cups for the tea and sake, placing the sake on cups on one tray and tea as well as the tea cups on the other. Carrying both trays, one in each hand, I make my way back to the training grounds and Shu-Ten. By the time I arrive Shu-Ten is awake, however, he had been pretending to sleep once my presence had gotten close enough, his breathing patterns had changed. Gently, I place the two trays onto the floorboards and make my way towards the Green Dragon Warrior. Kneeling in front of him I place my hand on his shoulder and gently shake him "awake".
