Book 20 Chapter 2

Episode 176

Before the dawn of time, there was the "Abyss," and the world was sinking and dying into the swamp of that bottomless pit, where not a single ray of light could penetrate.

Then came the "Light" of life.

The people of the world who witnessed its presence, believing that the light came from another world, called them the <Ones Who Came>.

When the light shone in the darkness, the darkness could not overcome it.

The <Ones Who Came> banished all servants of the Abyss into the dimensional rifts, causing them to be forgotten, and so their designation also solidified as the <Forgotten Kings>.

We, the Dragonfolk, were created as the creatures of the Black Sun Kalenden, one of those great <Ones Who Came>.

When the <Ones Who Came> left this world, pursuing 'Yotos Yole Yotiatos', the absolute ruler of the Abyss, the mission they entrusted to us was the annihilation of 'Demons' and the guardianship of the 'Seal'.

- The Seal appears sturdy now, but the immortal power bestowed upon the <Forgotten Kings> by Yotos cannot be suppressed permanently. Now, I entrust it to you.

- Yes, Father.

- Do not answer so easily. It will be an arduous struggle. You will have to contend with an endless and boundless, immortal evil.

As time wore everything down, the kings' power began to leak from the dimensional rifts… Encircling this, good and evil clashed. New battlefires spread daily amidst the decline of the era.

I am Haradermann, the Mad Dragon.

The godfather and leader of the Golden Dragon Legion.

My children and the legions of my brothers and sisters scattered across the land to uproot the Abyss and protect the Seal, dedicating eons of time… but was it all meaningless?

- We cannot stop the advance of the Demon race! Their momentum is overwhelming!

- All 17 frontier stars have fallen!

- The front lines of <Shuriganakyus> and <Langbard> are divided! All routes are blocked, making further supplies difficult!

At the time when all thoughts were being consumed by the darkness of despair, we found the light of hope left behind by the <Ones Who Came>… its name, the Ark of the Covenant.
