In the far reaches of the Milky Way, amidst a cluster of stars known as the Radiant Drifts, there existed an ancient dragon known as Zaelasura. With scales of shimmering onyx and ruby eyes that held the wisdom of eons, Zaelasura was a guardian of the cosmos. Its kind had once ruled over a magnificent empire among the stars, but most of its kin had perished in a great cosmic calamity.

Zaelasura sensed a new connection forming, a link to another being, through the ancient bond known as blood stigmata. This mystical link was a connection woven through time and space, binding together distant souls. It had long been a forgotten art, nearly extinct in the universe.

As the connection grew stronger, Zaelasura used its immense power over mana to glimpse the cause of this newfound link. What it discovered sent ripples of shock and perplexity through its ancient consciousness.

The source of the link, the one tethered to its life force, was a human child, It was Z-01, a powerful force that was emanating from a distant part of the galaxy. A young creature of a species so far removed from its own that it had once been considered mere myth. Most of Zaelasura's own family had perished, the remnants of their empire fading into cosmic legend. The very thought that it had a survivor, a being connected by blood, filled it with a bittersweet sense of hope.

Zaelasura, however, had not anticipated the discovery of a human child. Its eyes gazed upon the vision of a fragile, tiny life and found itself torn by emotions it had not experienced in millennia. It had longed for the company of its own kind, for the return of its glorious empire, not for a human.

But the ancient blood stigmata did not lie, and it confirmed the connection. This child held its bloodline, and Zaelasura knew it had a solemn duty. It would be a break from the concord, an act that had been forbidden for millennia. Yet it decided, even if it meant defying the ancient laws, to journey to this distant speck in the cosmos, known as Sun-03, where the child resided.

Its hibernation, a timeless slumber amidst the radiant stars, had come to an end. Zaelasura would prepare itself for the arduous journey, donning its cosmic armor, the dragon's own version of a space suit, and setting a course through the celestial pathways of the Milky Way. It was time for an ancient guardian to reawaken, not just for its own sake, but to watch over and protect the child who now shared its bloodline, and in doing so, to ensure that the legacy of its kind would live on in the universe.
