Once, there was a dragon god who came to love humans so much that he wanted to join them on earth. Hiryuu, the Red Dragon, chose to become mortal and dwell with the people that he loved so dearly. However it was during a time of war and humans were still mistrusting, and they were so very close to turning against the king. The other dragons in the sky tried to convince King Hiryuu to return to them - but King Hiryuu said no.
He was human now, and he loves humans, and he did not want to return to the sky. Yet the dragons loved Hiryuu so much that they gave their blood to four humans who would become the Dragon Warriors. Each would be gifted with a different abilities - the eyes, the body, the arm, or the legs of a dragon - and were made to swear their love and loyalty to their king.
[Jae-ha's gaze drifts up toward the sky, wondering if the dragon gods look upon them even now.]
... they brought peace to the kingdom. Even when King Hiryuu passed, and the original dragon warriors passed, the power of the dragon would be reincarnated again and again and again.
[ . . . ]
I - used to hate that story. But I've been thinking about it differently lately... about the gods who could love someone so much that they'd write that love into the very fabric of history.
I thought about how I'd like to have your sense of loyalty - and how that too, is worthy of dragons.
