Dragons of the Vermillion Realm:
In their early years, most baby dragons could only maintain their dragon forms, unable to shift into other shapes. However, upon reaching adolescence, dragons gained the ability to take on human forms. This skill was introduced during the early years of the Vermillion Realm by King Draco and the man marked with black tattoos, who taught the first dragons how to shift between forms. This ability became a defining trait of the dragons, allowing them greater adaptability and interaction across realms.
Dragons, as a race, represent one of the most extraordinary and powerful beings in creation.These majestic entities are metaphysical in nature, existing as manifestations of pure thought and consciousness. This metaphysical essence allows them unparalleled adaptability, enabling them to transcend traditional physical limitations. While they can assume physical forms when necessary, particularly when interacting with lower realms, most dragons choose to remain in their metaphysical state, where their power and essence are unrestrained.
Dragons were incredibly powerful beings, with even the average dragon demonstrating extraordinary capabilities. They were fast enough to travel from their home realm to Te Ringa Raupā o Te Ao in just a few days using only their natural flight. Beyond their speed, their destructive power was immense; they could effortlessly create or destroy infinite dimensional spaces.
The Strongest Dragons: The Old Sky Knights
Below the unparalleled strength of King Draco, his son, and his grandsons, there existed a legendary group of dragons known as the Old Sky Knights. These dragons were the pinnacle of strength and skill, revered for their unmatched abilities in combat and their steadfast dedication to protecting the Vermillion Realm and all of creation.
At their peak, the Old Sky Knights stood as the mightiest warriors among dragonkind, capable of feats that transcended mortal comprehension. They were the only dragons aside from King Draco's lineage who could truly wield power on an infinite scale. These titanic figures were instrumental in halting the advance of Lordanis’ armies, forces so destructive that they threatened to unravel the very fabric of creation itself.
The Old Sky Knights embodied the ideals of courage, loyalty, and sacrifice. Each knight wielded a unique mastery over their element, blending ancient draconic techniques like Aelar Drak’Ruc Draco with their raw metaphysical nature. Their battles against Lordanis and his forces became the stuff of legend, shaping the myths and history of the dragons for millennia to come.
Though their era has long passed, and their names and deeds may have faded into obscurity for most, the echoes of their valor persist. To those who still remember, the Old Sky Knights remain a symbol of dragonkind’s enduring strength and their role as protectors of creation.

Selene Stormweaver - Profile
Full Name: Selene Stormweaver
Race: Dragon
Affiliation: Future Head of the Stormweaver Family
Powers: Lightning-based attacks, Storm Manipulation
Peak Power: Unmatched lightning power capable of obliterating entire dimensions and enemies alike. Her power is rooted in both her dragon heritage and her training within the Stormweaver family, making her a force to be reckoned with in battle. Add the fact that she is the only five dragons in history to unlock and use mana gave her a lot of potential, with the other four being King Draco, King Zephros, Prince Umbryx and Prince Arythos.
Background & History:Selene is a revered figure within the Vermillion Realm, not just as a mighty dragon, but also as a future leader of the Stormweaver family. Her lineage has long been known for its mastery over storms and lightning. In her younger years, she was known for her fierce determination and mastery of her lightning-based powers. She trained relentlessly to harness the destructive force of nature, eventually earning the title of Lightning Queen.
As the youngest member of her family, Selene's journey to mastering her powers was nothing short of extraordinary. She was the first to unlock the full extent of her lightning abilities, achieving the highest marks during her time at Draco Academy, a prestigious institution for the most promising young dragons across the realm. At Draco Academy, dragons with the most potential are trained in combat, magical mastery, and strategy, and Selene excelled in every aspect. Her exceptional talent in harnessing and controlling lightning was recognized early on, and she was celebrated as a prodigy among her peers.
Her abilities are rooted in both raw elemental power and ancient techniques passed down through her family, techniques that were originally taught to the dragons by the Man Marked in Black Tattoos and King Draco in the early days of the Vermillion Realm. As she grew into her role, Selene’s abilities matured, allowing her to manipulate storms and unleash devastation upon her enemies with nothing but the flick of her wrist.
While Selene was never the Diplomat of the Vermillion Court, she was often called upon to represent her family in matters of conflict, where her powerful abilities proved invaluable. Her strength and leadership have made her an influential figure within the dragon community, and her lightning-based powers are the stuff of legend.
During her climactic battle with Dark Yourupt, Selene unlocked her latent mana, a power so vast and overwhelming that it threatened to tear apart the Vermillion Realm itself. The raw mana, surging uncontrollably at first, radiated with enough intensity to rival Dark Yourupt's own immense maar for a brief moment. The sheer force of her unleashed energy shook the realm, her mastery barely keeping it from spiraling out of control. This moment marked a turning point in the battle, showing Selene's incredible potential and resilience even in the face of such insurmountable odds.
Notable Techniques:
Stormweaver’s Final Roar Technique: Ultimate Breath of the Primordial Storm
Unleashing the full fury of the ancient storm spirits, this technique channels an enormous wave of electrified wind, rain, and thunder. It wipes out all in its path, disintegrating anything caught in its relentless storm.
Final Stormweaver’s Impale Technique: Thunderpiercer’s Judgment

Final Stormweaver’s Thunderous’s Reach Technique: Lightning’s Dominion
A surge of electric energy bursts from the user’s hands, spreading out in all directions like a storm’s reach, seizing control of the environment and devastating everything in its path.
Combat Style:Selene’s combat style blends deadly precision, agility, and the overwhelming power of lightning. She has mastered Draco’s Aelar Drak’Ruc Draco, a martial arts style created by King Draco that combines the fluidity of dragon magic with powerful hand-to-hand techniques. This style draws inspiration from Earth-based martial arts like Karate, Jiu-Jitsu, and Aikido, emphasizing grappling, quick takedowns, and using an opponent’s force against them. Her techniques allow her to outmaneuver stronger foes with swift, calculated movements, making her a devastating force in close-combat. Her smaller stature in human form enhances her fluidity and speed, enabling her to dominate opponents by overwhelming them with her agility and precision, while delivering lightning-infused strikes.
Selene’s Katana: Zhor'Raik'Vorr
Selene wields a katana named Zhor'Raik'Vorr, a sword passed down through her family for generations. The blade was originally gifted by King Draco and forged by a legendary, unknown blacksmith. It is part of a set of five swords, all considered the strongest ever made in all of creation.
What makes Zhor'Raik'Vorr stand out is that it was sealed with one of the most powerful cosmic storms, created by the being marked by dark tattoos. Only lightning users, like Selene, can channel this storm's power. This ability makes the sword incredibly dangerous and unique.
Before his tragic death at the hands of her uncle, Selene’s father, the previous head of the Stormweaver family, gave her the katana. Since then, Selene has dedicated herself to mastering the sword. Zhor'Raik'Vorr represents both her family’s strength and her responsibility as the future head of the Stormweaver family.
In addition to her lightning powers, Selene is a skilled practitioner of Iaijutsu and Iaido, martial arts focused on the quick drawing and cutting of the sword. These techniques, combined with her natural abilities, make her an expert in combat, able to overwhelm opponents with both precision and speed.
Sadly, Selene’s story, along with the history of her realm, would eventually be lost to time. The immense power of the dragons and the once-thunderous dominance of the Stormweaver family would fade from the annals of history, overshadowed by the passing of realms and the destruction caused by Dark Yourupt. Only those who still remember will carry the knowledge of her past, though their memories may be all but forgotten by the world at large.
However, as the future head of the Stormweaver family, Selene’s legacy, marked by her fierce determination and immense power, would have shaped the future of the Vermillion Realm. Her influence may have been forgotten by the masses, but the strength of her people, the dragons, and their far-reaching impact will always echo through creation, albeit in whispers lost to the winds of time.
