The Red Dragon, Hiryuu, took the form of a human in order to rule the country, but he started to fight against the humans. Since the hearts of humans grew evil, they all forgot about god and captured the Hiryuu because of their desire to obtain his power and authority. When all of this turned dull, the four dragons Blue, Green, White and Yellow, with the help of the Black Dragon, descended from the skies to save Hiryuu and destroy the humans, who have forgotten to cherish and heed the gods

However, Hiryuu rejected that and claimed that he is now human, and that he will never betray the humans because he loves them. The five dragons didn't want to lose Hiryuu because they loved him, therefore the dragons gave their blood to human warriors and gave them power in order to protect and never betray Hiryuu. Each human warrior possessed a unique power, one with sharp claws that could cut through anything, one with eyes to see far off into the distance, one with a strong body that could never get ill, one with legs that could jump high up the sky, and the final warrior said to have wings to carry the other Dragon Warriors to their destiny.

It wasn't long until Hiryuu went to sleep, being weary from the battling, therefore the five dragons' mission has ended. The five dragon warriors thought of their King, who no longer moved, and started to mourn, even though they don't know if it was the blood inside them that were mourning or if it's when they're grieving for losing someone special. At the end, the five dragon warriors knew that their power is beyond human so they left their tribes, parted their ways and disappeared, this is how the five tribes of Kouka Kingdom is formed.

However, the Black Dragon's whereabouts are unknown, although the Black Dragon is rumored to have been last see flying into the sky and is said to be living among the clouds, watching over her brothers from above. Time to time sending a Raven to assist them in their trying times of need, the Dragon Warrior in need will know that it was the Black Dragon who sent the Raven because of it's blood red eyes and it is believed that when the Raven is sent down it will "speak through the blood of the Dragon to guide them".

I had just finished putting away my bow and arrows, gently placing them into their respective holders. Tired as I was I still had to do my nightly routine, which consisted of untangling my midnight black hair which as it is, it was already a very formidable task. Not only did my hair always find a way to tangle itself but it has gotten stuck on a MULTITUDE of things. But, I won't cut it, not when it makes a certain adorable Ouryuu the happiest when he gets to play with it. I smile at the thought of Zeno happily braiding my hair, twisting it this way and that, placing flowers in my hair and sometimes even just petting it. Which makes he pretty happy I must say.

Just as I finish the final stroke, I hear a knock at my door, my eyes grow wide as I hear sniffling just outside my door. With my Dragon Blood I can sense who it is. 'Zeno' I think worriedly. I quickly run to the door and see Zeno standing there in his sleeping attire, shaking and shivering, tears sliding down his cheeks quicker than I had ever seen before. I usher him in and lead him to my bed, where I have him sit down. I kneel in front of him and hold his face in my hands, gently wiping the tears away. He looks at me with the most vulnerable look I have ever seen on someone, and it breaks my heart to see him like this.

I scoot closer to him, his legs on either side of me. He takes one look at me and dives at me, wrapping his arms under mine and around my torso, digging his face into my shoulder like the harder he pushes his face into me the less pain he would feel. I wrap my arms around him and rub his back as gently and as comfortingly as I can. His hiccups wrack his body to and fro, shaking his entire being, his eyes red and puffy, his lips trembling like leaves in the harsh winds. Zeno calms down slightly, his hiccups turning into sniffles, his tears now stains on his soft pale skin, his lip shaking only slightly.
