From Pandemonium to Empyrean,
from there to Arad,
Bakal,the King of all Dragons,
continued his invasion of this world.

And he brought every living creature to submission in the end.

The first year of his rule began when his army conquered Arad.
Bakal Year 1.

Ironically, it marked the beginning of the most prosperous
and stable century in Arad's history.

The Metastasus stopped manifesting.
The Great Pentacle was stronger and more durable than ever,
thanks to the superior magic of the Dragons.
The monsters kept themselves inside caves, too afraid of the Dragons.

Finally, he had the whole world in his hands...
then a century passed, and his satisfaction as a victor slowly weathered away with it.

It was the night of the Festive Day of the Dragon's Crescent Moon,
the banquet that was held at the end of every year.

Bakal was on his way back to his bedchamber when he suddenly remembered
the warping of spacetime, which occurred when Pandemonium was first connected
to Drakvalt.

It dawned on him that maybe he could use that phenomenon to dominate
other dimensions while looking for clues leading to the World Tree that Hilder stole
from this world.

Once he made up his mind, there was no stopping him.
He was the ruler of this world, and no one could deny his wishes.

Bakal learned from the Dark Elves how to open an interdimensional gate.
He then used every resource he had to open a great interdimensional gate that
warped spacetime.

Waiting on the other side of it wasn't just another dimension—so was disaster.

The century-long peace had made Bakal complacent, soft.
The world may have prospered under his reign, but it didn't change the fact
that his empire was built on the pain and suffering of others.

Bakal was oblivious of the hatred that was bubbling up underneath the calm surface.

The Dark Elves held a grudge like no other, and they were good at hiding it too.
They gave Bakal the wrong coordinates, which invited alien forces with evil intent
to where Bakal's expeditionary army was.

The Dragons would've been wiped out that day if it weren't for their elite fighters,
the Dragon Knights. They drove away the alien invaders, but barely.
And then everything went downhill from there.

Bakal lost his power, the world spiraled into chaos, and civil wars ensued.

Even the Dragon Knights, who were strong enough to fend off the alien forces,
couldn't fight the changes that were happening all around them.

The Dragon Knights no longer fight for a single leader.
Now they have their own banner to protect, their own right to fight.

Are you disappointed because they've changed?
I understand.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion. But there's one thing that we all must not forget;
the Dragon Knights have been the greatest warriors since Bakal’s time
and that will never change, no matter how much time passes.
