There are those who say that some things are meant to be kept hidden. Yet some things tend to slip past the cracks, dragons can be one of those things. For as long as anyone can remember, dragons were mighty and fierce. There were many who sought the honor of killing dragons, as it was difficult to do. Dragons slowly became extinct, their kind having too adapt to a world that was determined to put them down.
The only times a dragon could get enough strength to face the new world was during the Blood Moon Festival. A time where all supernatural and fantasy creatures grew more powerful. For five days, the dragons could attack whoever they wanted, when they wanted.
Yet the Blood Moon Festival only occurred every five years, as a result the dragons slowly died out. Their number dwindling down to only a fair few, these precious few had to learn to dwell among humans. The very same humans who wanted nothing more then to see their kind killed off. One of these was the dragon Aurora, who had been around for several centuries. Long enough to see her kind slowly dwindle into nothing more then mere legend.
She grew to resent the humans that she had to live among, seeing how they all turned on her kind. There were only a few humans that she thought worthy of her attention, but not enough to make her resentment cease. She traveled to several different countries, some were better then others at how they handled supernatural and fantasy creatures. However as time passed, things would change and so would the opinion of humans.
Eventually the cycle would begin anew, bringing with it more pain and suffering from all different types of creatures. Aurora finally moved to Paradise hoping for a better life, and yet soon found herself realizing that things would never change.
