There is a truth that has laid hidden for centuries. The dragons of today are to never know about this past. It is not of importance to the future of their kind only to the rest of us. Many by now know that each dragon is catagoried by his/her colour. Their colour makes them who they are.
Red dragons are warriors by birth. They tend to take command more so than to give any. Ruthless in battle make them perfect allies. There has yet to be a more noble dragon. A ruler to the fires it has the ability of fire breathe yet most choose not to use such for they view it as an unhonorable attack method. Having the ability to manipulate the flames and control of lave they can destroy this realm in a blink of an eye.
Blues are of ice and sea. Light blues are usually of ice but there are accounts of these being of sea. They possess an ice breathe that they normally would never use unless provoked. They do use it however to make icecaps so to hide in. It has become used only as a defense mechanism. Dark blues are mostly found within the seas. Some of these of the water come out a blue-green or teal colour. If they are tel then there is a mixture in species. Blue-greens typically are found amongst the outer seas and not landward. The light blues of water are mainly found in island dwellings only. the dark blues can be found on the ocean floors to riverbeds. These dragons possess a water breathe that can be quit deadly. many see this ability as a weakness til they have felt its sting. These great beasts of the seas have learned how to make tidal waves and tornadoes upon the sea. These tempermental beings are of no joke. They can destroy thousands just because they are having a bad day. Our torment brings them joy.
Greens are of the woods and are very difficult to find in their dwellings. Keepers to the elves they tend to not fight unless absolutely neccessary to do so. They keep their vows more often than any other has. True to their word make these the most trustworthy of all. They possess the ability to manipulate all living things. They can make trees walk and talk as well as make an animal attack for no reason at all. these forest dwellers tend to enjoy the ability to chaos for their fellow animals yet they are also the first to defend them.
Browns are earth dwellers and so the temperment show it. Locked away from the creatures that roam above is most comforting to them. To awaken one of these great beasts is to call on death himself. they do not take kindly to being disrupted by any living being. These great beasts cause earthquakes and plate shifting. They mold the world to their own imagination.
Silver dragons are beautiful to see yet deadly to know. These dragons are known for devious actions and pride themselves on it. Only a couple silvers have shown their loyalty to another yet still they may yet to deceive. Great allies they are until they feel you are of no more use to them. Somewhat selfish by nature they still do possess some compassion. Having the ability of lightning breathe make them a real shocker persay. many do not learn this gift in one lifetime and it possesses the need of great strength from them.
Gold dragons are the most blinding of sites. They glimmer and shine just like the sun. They use this to their advantage in battle. They are the most caring of the kind. It is not suprising to see a gold dragon take a youth as if it were her own. They are very nurturing and try to make all like them. Their ideralism is their only weakness. If you dare to harm a childe in their care you will see just how fierce they can be. To scare a childe in their care is to show how little you value your life for they will strike with a deadly hit. They have the most accurate of aim. Like the silver dragons these to have lightning breathe. Bourne with the ability to do it makes them an even tougher oppponent. However they may sound as of now please duly note that since they do not have to learn this gift, they do strive for one other. the ability to manipulate the storms as they see fit.
Bronze dragons are those guardians we never see. They prefer solitude yet still they watch over the world. The true beast of the skies they show their ownership hospitably. They are here to maintain balance and with such a high responsibility they control the weather and any element they see fit to. Possessing higher abilities than most make them perfect as our protectors.
Shadow dragons are the most vile of all. They are pure evil and do not mind proving it over and over again. They look as though they are nothing more than a shadow or a dark smoke cloud. They bring only destruction in their wake. These dragons show no remorse nor compassion. They are likely to ally with any for they live for self only. Treacherous traitors of olde and new these are. Never should one be trusted even if given oath for they know not what this means.
Black dragons are the most unpredictable of them all. Feared by many and reveled by others. These dragons hold no equal or so they think. Better leaders than followers are these because they tend to do what they feel is right, no matter the cost. A black dragon would kill his entire clan to just prove a point, that he is the strongest and most powerful of all. Held imprisoned by their impetual pride, they tend to make mistakes of vast proportion. Never before has a dragon showed himself as a black does. They have been called protectors, traitors, warriors, brethren, tyrants, and lovers. No matter what form they take they attract the oppsite sex rather easily and they know it. In the tales it is not uncommon for a black to use this gift and take advantage of young maidens. They tend to not love even when they say they are in it. Love is not a strong point in these creatures but if they ever do it is for beyond life. To hold the heart of a black dragon is a tremendous task that many cannot endure. For the time they are together one must remain on guard and be prepared for the worst.
Those colours not here mentioned are cross-breeds except for those that are smoke grey, gunmetal, and platinum. Most smoke grey or gunmetal coloured dragons are those shadow dragons who set out from their clan to be a more noble dragon. They grew tired of the underhanded ways of their clan and seek forgiveness of their sins. Those that are platinum are a rarity. They spring from the silver, gold, and bronze dragons. In humanity we would call them albino in a sense. They do not lack pigment anywhere but they can shine just as white. Many of these have been called white dragons, which these sorts do not exist on any plane. Those considered as white dragons are o purity of their kind. They possess no mannerisms like any other dragon. They chose not to fight and they tend to live peacefully alone. They are the only known loners in dragon history.
As for the truth that should never be mentioned, it lies within a few stories of olde that many of todays dragons only remember some of. Do I dare to tell these stories and enlighten those who think they know the truth? Perhaps I shouldn't but I feel as if I must do so. But where to begin is the real question at hand.
Let me start with the birth of a black dragon, or should I say before his hatching. There was a red mother and a green father that awaited for their egg to hatch. As time went by it became clear that this would be no ordinary dragon. For the egg itself began to darken in hues unseen by any. The longer they awaited the more nervous the father became. he could not allow a black dragon to emerge in this clan. He knew that if one was bourne that this clan would fall and none would survive. One day while the mother was away the father decided it best to destroy the egg before it could hatch. As the father stretched back preparing to dessimate the egg, something happened quite unexpectingly. The egg began to hatch. The father held high but was amazed by the site. this childe was not due for another month and it could not yet be hatching. Sadly it was. This young hatchling remembered every word ever spoken near it and was preparing to defend himself. The young dragon leapt from his shell with suprising strength and speed. If any was to die it would be the father not him. Note that this was at the youngest age a black dragon killed family but it was not the only one to happen. The mother returned to the slaughter left behind. The young hatchling was still confused at what part his mother and the rest of the clan played and so he watched, listened...
He herad his mother cry for the lost of both and others plotting revenge. One night he crept back into camp and shouted that they each now have the chance to destroy him if they think they can. Every clan member rushed outward ready to fight but each fell just as quick. His mother rushed to her cave opening to try to stop what was occurring and he blindly brought her down. When none were left did he realize that he had slain his own mother. the one that wept for him, that loved and cared for him... He killed her, no other, just him. In his despair he left to never be seen again. Well not until it was time for all of the worlds' black dragons were to come together in calling.
Another tale would be of a time when their was a black dragon being a brother by blood to a red. They each sought different paths and so they parted ways. Until the day that the red decided that his brother was following the wrong path. It would only harm him never help. The red approached his brother and begged him to join the gods and find that there was a better meaning to existance. But the black held high in his beliefs and would not convert. Not knowing what to do to convince his brother the red waged a fight in order to try and confuse his brother into accepting this new faith. The black being of battle ready nature fought his brother til death. Upon his brothers fall the black suddenly was overcomed by grief. How could he do this to his brother, his only true friend? There was only one way the black knew to pay rightful respects to his brother, even though he did not want to do this, he gave oath to the gods. He became their personal guard. they did this so that they could watch him closely. Never did he have a moments peace as the gods visited him regularly and gave them many tasks to do. Never did he rest from that day forth.
In a new era there was the birth of a golden dragon who in her tender years fell for a shadow dragon. Ironically this was the same shadow dragon that killed her small villaged family. She felt that she lived because he loved her so, but she was wrong. She followed him to where he dwelled and awaited three nights before coming before him. He laughed at her notions that he had feelings for her. He told her that if he knew she was still alive that he would have killed her on the spot. That she purposely awaited three nights so he would spare her her life. Deep down she knew that she did it purposely and just could not believe he felt nothing towards her. Repulsive she was to him but she did not believe. Many times did he attempt to kill her but everytime she eluded him. He could not touch her for anything in the world til the idea came upon him. He bellowed to her how much he wished to hold her, to love her. She slowly emerged from her hiding spot in absolute joy over this. He begged her to come to him and so she did. The shadow dragon believing that he could take this oppotunity to kill her was very much suprised. She come forth to him and plunged her talon hand into his chest crushing his heart. As he slumped downward he could hear her say these words, "You now feel as I. I felt this the day you killed my family, the day you turned me away, the days you hunted me down. I feel this even now as I know you only want me dead. May your hate now know what it felt like to love you."
A light blue dragon the color off an abvalanche perched upon a tropical island shore. So unlike a dragon this light to be foundin such a hot climate but here he was raised. Bourne to a dark blue and teal was he. No one knew how he came upon his coloration just that here he did not belonged. he was befriended by one. A female the color of the bottomless seas. He fell in love with her and could never tell her so. She was everything to him and she felt the same for him. One day a bronze dragon flew overhead and called for her. This was the one her parents betroved her to as part of an alliance. He could not let this happen and so he pleaded with her parents to reconsider what they were doing. Her parents did not acknowledge this strange one at all. What did he know about things? He finally broke and confessed his love to her and she told him she felt the same. He promised that they will be together, that she shall not marry the bronze, he would see to that. As the sun rose the next day he took flight and flew to the coldest regions to find those that looked like him. He told them that they were holding a maiden of theirs captive and refuses to let her go. That she was also his empress. The light blue clan flew swiftly in order to stop such events taking place. They waged war so quickly that the islanders had no time to defend themselves and all was lost but his maiden. He took her as his empress unwillingly for she did not want her clan destroyed yet she could not fully turn from him. He made her home on the island and kept her isolated there til the day that she could no longer bear his presence and in the middle of the night she slaughtered him mercilessly and escaped to the ocean deeps in fear that the ice dragons would return for her when they heard of his death. The rest of years were spent at the ocean bottom and she went mad as she could never stop hearing him speak to her.
Let me enlighten you with facts that are only passed down & not written upon any known texts or sites:
Am elemental in purest meaning is one who can control all 9 arcane elements as well as all 13 hidden elements. Not only can they obtain this gift at birth but they still seek to know of the last elements to become a semi-god. Lost to them are 21 elements that have taken to mirroring the 4 main when gathered as one. No elmental has yet to extract these elements seperately nor does it seem one truly can.
Many element magicians and sorceror's strive to become what an elemental is at birth. One whom is trying to obtain such status have stopped at the 9 arcane assuming that they have achieved such til a hidden element binds them. True elelmentals have unlimited access to those elements none have ever heard of. Never can a list be derived upon parchment nor shall one lacking any of the 22 known of elements know the names of those that are almost impossible to gain. Also may none who know not the 9 arcane be told of those hidden. One who know not of the 5 main to know the whole 9 arcane. When one reaches knowing all elements (meaning all 9 arcane, 13 hidden, and the 21 lost) can they finally obtain the final 3 to become the ultimate elemental, Upon reaching such a point it is then that they can control the world and all its inhabitants in order to use them to control the galaxies and stars. When a person is at this point their life is no more needed and they perish or vanish from the world of the knowing. Unknown as to where they leave to but it is thought that they are dead for the final 3 are deadly.
I give thee this much from my knowledge. Take it how one wants. I am no elemental though I use all 9 arcane as well as 6 of the hidden. I know of the other 7 I lack skill in and I also have been able to sense 14 of the lost elements though I do not seek to use those, I remain with what I already know how to use and in learning to obtain the use of the last 7 lost. I am not out to be any higher tha a midrange elemental, though I know a true elemental who was bourne with the ability to control the 9 arcane & 13 lost elements. He fears his gifts after he saw what damage he is to himself and others. He can harness them and use them but still some are more powerful than he thinks them to be so he uses too much of them in his workings. He has stopped using them all and has went to trying one at time to better understand them. At this point he can use up to 5 of them at once with no repercussion though I know he can use more he don't.
