In the Mist of the Mountain

Prologue

In the beginning, there was only a barren land of dirt and ash. And with the ash the Gods created a 5 master races; The Waynora, The Craezoa, The Harougans, The Gyptians, and The Drogos. Starting over with this new life on the land, the Gods sent their races out to build their civilizations. No race was more better than the other, everyone was peaceful and neighbored. But that soon came to an end.

The Waynora created an massive empire and proclaimed themselves to be on of the three superior races, alongside the Craezoa and the Drogo. The Craezoa soon followed suit and built their empire on the opposite end of the world of the Waynora. The Harougans and Gyptians remained neutral, yet eventually loyal to both, offering their gifts in return for safety and food. The Harougans were more of a 'savage' yet fearless breed, training the Waynora guard in combat to protect the Royal family. The Gyptians offered their magic and entertainment through dance and music. Finally, we have the Drogos.

The Drogos, or Drogonotaulus, were hearty, loyal and fiercely brave breed and mostly depended on none other but themselves for survival. Gifted in navigation, medicine and fiercely strong fighters, they lived separated from the rest of the races, high and deep within the icy mountains. After the Harougans failed takeover for the Waynora Kingdom and banished, the job of trainer for the Royal Waynora guard was offered to the Drogo, yet they declined and th Harougans went into hiding.

Throughout the years, all clans were at peace, and more smaller races were put on the land to live among the five. During the reign of King Guto III, famine plagued the Waynora Kingdom, and their seemed to be no hope for his people, until the Gyptians told of a remedy high in the Icy Mountains of the Drogo, where they knew of an herbal mixture that if fed in one dose, all would be cured. King Guto's men set out to the Icy Mountains yet when they arrived, they were greeted with disappointment as the Drogo used the remaining herbal flowers to cure their sick, and as King Guto's people fell and died, the Drogos numbers kept growing, outnumbering his people five to one. He got it in his head that this was all a part of a larger plan for the Drogo to take his Kingdom and he became desperate. He called a meeting with the once banished/ hidden Harougans clan leader and the Mistress of the Gyptians and the Craezoa King, and planned to the attack on the Mountain. Even with their numbers, they would still be outnumbered two to one, but with the element of surprise he was sure they'd win and take the Mountain for its remedies.

One fateful day, without warning, the Drogo were attacked. In the dead of night, families were torn apart, slaughtered or imprisoned for a short while. The Drogo leader, Taurus, lead the charge with the men he had but he too, was eventually taken down. It was quick and messy. The Mountain was defeated and King Guto extracted the remedial flowers and saved his people. The captured Drogo were locked up and charged with treason. Taurus and his men all faced death and were locked in the lower portion of King Guto's castle in Waynora. Taurus spent his last few days in those cells, believing his family, his home was gone. He had lost all hope. A few days before his execution, he met the Waynora guard Asha, and here is where our story begins....
