Hello General!
This is Sheepy, the one and only Linirean sheep reporter, back with some very urgent Kingdom news. It seems that every time things are calm, something extremely ominous shows up. This time, peasants are reporting terrifying sightings of an unknown, ancient dragon flying over nearby villages.
While investigating the area, Alliance scouts discovered a mysterious gate covered in carvings. The gate led to the Cloud Realm, where they encountered Aurion, the Sun Dragon and sworn protector of the Royal Egg. And wouldn’t you know it, the Royal Egg has gone missing and is now in serious danger!
So, let’s talk to our newest ally and find out what kind of trouble we’re about to head into.
Sheepy: Welcome to the Alliance, Aurion!
Aurion: The pleasure is mine, though I wish it were under better circumstances. A war is dawning upon us. The Royal Egg is under attack, and the consequences could be catastrophic.
Sheepy: That sounds… bad. Tell me more about this Egg. Why is it so important?
Aurion: The Royal Egg safeguards dragon lineage, order, and tradition. It carries the future Dragon Queen of our kind. Should it fall into the wrong claws, the line of succession could be corrupted, allowing a tyrant to claim both her power and her rule. I am sworn to never let that happen.
Sheepy: You seem very personally invested in this. What’s your role?
Aurion: I am the Royal Egg’s sworn protector, alongside my mate, Lunaris. Together, we have guarded it since the moment it came into existence. She was watching over the Egg when the Sanctuary came under a sudden strike by a massive dragon. We must come to their aid at once!
Sheepy: That explains the urgency. Lunaris was guarding the Egg… is she a Sun Dragon like you?
Aurion: Lunaris is a Moon Dragon. Different, yet complementary to my kind. Very few Sun Dragons remain, as the energy required to sustain us is immense… and Moon Dragons are rarer still. Despite our dwindling numbers, we dedicate our lives in hopes of seeing a new Dragon Queen be born once again.
Sheepy: If this Egg is so precious, what kind of foe would dare to steal it?
Aurion: There is only one dragon ruthless enough to attack the Sanctuary and corrupt the draconian blood to create those monstrous Draks that are swarming our sacred grounds. And it is an enemy that probably not even Lunaris and I together would be able to defeat. We must get the full force of the Alliance behind us. A war is dawning.
Gulp. That all sounds extremely dreadful. Luckily, we have none other than Aurion Sunforged fighting at our side. With his determination to reclaim the Royal Egg, and the fire in his eyes, well, and everywhere else, I’m confident we’ll manage to recover it… somehow!
Sheepy out!
