9/25/2022 War.
??? POV
It's been a month since the Human Empire of Equiral invaded The Vugon Kingdom. Apparently our Kingdom tried to kill the prince but I don't believe it. Those dragon fuckers have always been known to be aggressive and racists. They should have just kept fucking their dragons and let us be.
Anyways, I'm apart of the Vugon's Military and currently marching to the Sap Fort. It's a fort in the Equiral border. We're gonna reinforce it since word got out of dragon sightings near the Fort have spread. Thankfully we have some weapons to take out their pesky dragons.
It's called a Knocker. It's probably called something else, but us soldiers call it that since it can knock dragons out of the sky by shooting a bolt through them. I'm currently staring at it right now and it looks like a crossbow on a mount. (A/N: Essentially a Scorpion from AGOT)
"DRAGONS!!" A yell rings out as I turn and look at the sky, already moving below a nearby tree. Roars rings out as yells and the sound of flames spewing into the forest echo through the valley. I turn towards the Knocker, looking for a chance to mount it. I then sprint to the Knocker but someone grabs my arm. I look back to see Gavin, my friend who I met in the training camps.
"Gavin?" I say as he then throws me back and jumps back as well, as a Green dragon swoops down and starts to burn our convoy of supplies and horses before being hit by one of the knockers further down the convoy. The rider panics and gets off the dead dragon before he gets hit in the head with a mace by one of the Vugon officers.
"Keep your eyes open, You almost got burned to a crisp by a dragon." He says, helping me up and retreating to the tree line with me. I nod as a whistling sound rings out as a silver dragon cuts through the air. It's faster than anything I've ever seen. It evades arrows while also grabbing a Vugon soldier and tearing his head off with its bite. I immediately recognized it.
"I-I-Is that Ardur?! The fucking Silver Cleaver?!" I say, clearly expressing fear. Who the fuck wouldn't be afraid?! Its FUCKING ARDUR!! HE IS FASTER THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD AND TEETH ARE SHARPER THAN THE FUCKING SWORD OF YUGATH!! I need to get the fuck out of here.
"We need to leave Gavin! We can't take down Ardur, and his rider Tart is one of the greatest swordsman in the known world. We should run to-" I get interrupted by Gavin who slaps me.
"Listen, we are pro-" I don't get to hear the rest as a streak of fire claims both me and Gavin as in my final moments of burning agony, I notice a single dragon the size of an entire Castle consume everything in its flames.
LAW "CAESAR" HOWLER POV
Fuck. That's a word I've been thinking and saying a lot this past month. Ever since that assassination attempt on Henry, everything has gone downhill. First, Equiral declared war on Vugon and sent 50,000 troops and 15 dragons to exterminate them. The King doesn't want any land. He just wants to exterminate the Vugonese. Thankfully I haven't seen any combat since the Vugon guys that 'bodyguarded' Henry were absolute units. Stronger than any Human back on Earth.
Speaking of Earth, is it still alright? Is humanity still alive back in my universe? I hope so. I miss surfing the Internet. Anyways, right now I work under the Plautilla Alchemist to make some Philters for the Plautilla family. With the tooth I've gotten from Glare, I understand it way more than the Alchemist I am working with. It's essentially Chemistry but with a tad bit of randomness.
"CAESAR!" I place the dragon scale onto the counter as I walk towards the Plautilla Alchemist. He is wearing a basic brown robe that has a Yellow Eagle with its wings spread on a field of black. That's the Plautilla Family crest. The Eagle represents Strength. Mainly because Henry's father lead the battle against the Slow Apocalypse. Essentially he was the Precursor of all Dragons. When he was slain in the Battle of The Capital his corpse was turned into smaller Dragons who were tamed and turned into weapons for each noble house. The Plautilla's received 25 dragons, House Rainhead received 20, House Kaistup received 20, Crenne received 20, and House Albellon received 20. 30 other dragons were divided up between the smaller houses but the Major 5 only received that much because of their contributions to the battle. They stood with Henry's father when he began his quest to kill the Slow Apocalypse and provided a lot of men and gold.
A few Dragons did get handed to the Hegemony of Man. That's because Henry's father married the HOM's Kings daughter for an alliance. They gave the HOM 15 Dragons. They were leftovers from the creation of Dragons. Defects, if you will. Anyways, the Plautilla Alchemist called me over to help him with Dragon studies. At the moment, the only way to make more dragons is by turning the flesh of the Slow Apocalypse into a substance that can be molded into a Dragon. Unbeknownst to other kingdoms we are almost out of Slow Apocalypse Flesh. We are trying to figure out how to get the dragons to reproduce, asexually if possible. They don't want the Dragons to get attached to other dragons outside of their house.
Thankfully or Sadly a few dragons got killed during the Extermination war of the Vugon and we are currently studying their anatomy. We only to make them, not how they work. We give the flesh the general idea and it somehow makes the Dragons, its a Mystery of the World. Some speculate its because of the structure memory of the Slow Apocalypses regeneration factor. Others say is because the entire Dragon race came together to form the Slow Apocalypse to exterminate Humanity. I personally think its because of some fucking deity in the sky who wants to see something fun.
Back on track before I get scolded.
"What do you want?" I ask. This guy is the most annoying person I've ever met. He just rambles on and on about Helidyes. They are a type of flower found near the southern coast of Equiral. I keep hearing about them and its driving me crazy.
"Can you tell Lord Owayne that we have a lead on the Dragon reproductive system?" The Alchemist asks, still staring into the open belly of the dead gray dragon. He then pulls out a sealed note and hands it to me. It has the Plautilla family crest on it and feels... odd.
"Why does this feel so odd?" I ask, looking back up at the Alchemist. It has a weird weight to it and feels different than paper.
"It's none of your business. Just give to Lord Owayne." He says, turning to his set of tools. I nod as I begin to leave.
GLARE POV
Its been a month. A month since my plan is coming into fruition. I have Caesar under my control and I initiated the Invasion of Vugon. If my calculations are right, the other nations should intervene. Afterall, who would stand back and let thousands die?
....Me....
Other than me, probably everyone. I would have preferred for the Vugon 'Assassins' to have done their job, but this works prefect. After all, a stray arrow could hit and kill Henry and it be seen as a natural occurrence. Leaders die sometimes during combat. Well, only the stupid or brave ones. Leo Turtleshell was a brave man. He even earned my respect in the way he fought the Slow Apocalypse. Shame he decided to oppose me.
Anyways, what you want to see is what I've been doing. Yes, I'm aware your watching me. You don't even try to hide it. I've been expanding my influence in the Republic of Khogodia. It's somewhere where no one knows I exist. Its good to start a Base of Operations and expand from there. However, I have to keep my act up so Owayne doesn't hunt me down to the ends of the cosmos and kill me in the most brutal way possible. Seriously, that guy has some anger issues.
Speaking of Owayne Plautilla.
"GERALD!" I yell out, calling out to my assistant.
"Yes my lord?" Gerald says, running into the room with a panicked expression. Looking around the room.
"Where is the file on Caesar?" I say, staring at Gerald. I swear to the All-Mighty if he lost it I will kill him. Oddly, thunder cackled in the background as if it weaved a oath into the very fabric of the universe.
"I put it right here my lord." Gerald then picks up a file on the counter near the door and handing it to me. I opened it and then shooed Gerald away and started stroking my magnificent beard. I started growing it a few weeks back and I wish I grew it out sooner. Its so fucking great. Anyways, lets see...
----------------

DOB: ????
AGE: 20-25

He is key to our ultimate goal. -- -- --- -- --- ------ -- --- ---- ----------. (Expunged from files. Don't list that shit you stupid fuckhead Jerry.) He is close to Henry Plautilla and is considered a high value asset. DO NOT INTERACT WITH HIM. It will cause unnecessary interactions and investigations.

Information Pilled by Jerry
----------------
I should probably change Jerry out. Why is Jerry so fucking annoying.
"GERALD!" I yell out once more.
"Yes my lord?" Gerald comes into the room.
"Get rid of Jerry and put this file back into our library. Add 5 more guards to keep the Library safe. Also, tell the Kino Construction Company to build us more taverns around the country. That's all." I say, pulling out my dragon bone and start playing with it in my hands. God, being a amazing Secret Organization leader is so hard.
GENERAL POV
"YOU BASTARDS!"
"THERE'S A DRAGON OVE- AAAAAAHHH!!!"
"GET TO THE KNOCKERS!"
"FIRE!"
Orders and yells sounded out through the castle as men franticly dodged Dragonfire and arrows. A few unlucky men got set ablaze and slowly turned into charred flesh. As soldiers set ladders onto the walls and climbed them, they were showered with arrows. Their corpses which did a poor imitation of porcupines, fell and landed on some of the other soldiers trying to climb the ladder.
The 3 Dragons burned entire sections of the castle, setting the stables and food supplies ablaze. The knockers narrowly missing the light blue Dragon and tearing the arm off the dark blue Dragon rider. He nearly falls off if it weren't for the harness on the Dragon. He then fly's away, leaving the Sap Fort to deal with 2 dragons. The light blue Dragon rider gets angry and dives towards the knocker that tore the dark blue Dragons rider off. He sets the man and the 4 other men behind him ablaze. His efforts to put the fire out and slamming against everything lit another man on fire. Suddenly, a silver dragon zipped by. 26 men on the walls fell. Their throats slit and some of them losing their heads entirely. A loud roar echoes throughout the siege, causing the chickens to jump around in their cages in fright.
Suddenly, a massive explosion goes off in the Northern part of the walls. 81 from both sides together get killed immediately. 153 get burnt alive from the flames spreading. Seeing the opening, the head of House Albellon, Charles Albellon orders a charge. The soldiers standing in reinforcement charge in. Any surviving archers trying to shoot them get either burnt alive or shot by the Equiral archers.
"FOR THE KING!" Charles Albellon yells out, inspiring his men who rush forward with seemingly no regard for their lives. The silver Dragon zips by overhead and sets the line made by the defenders ablaze, careful to not tear any Equiral heads off by accident. The light blue Dragon also burns some of the men, but a few arrows hit its chest and bounce off. The archers were then set ablaze. One had his head bitten off.
The remaining defenders then waved their flags in surrender.
"KILL ALL OF THE ENEMIES OF THE CROWN!" Charles yells out. The light blue Dragon rider gains a grin on his face as he orders his dragon to set them all ablaze. The silver Dragon rider has a grimace on his face but complies. The light blue dragon then flies above the burning men and starts to piss on them. Clearly a sign of disrespect.
"That's what you get you fuckers." The light blue Dragon rider says. Some Equiral men look at the light blue Dragon rider with a angry face and the others don't care and begin looting the castle.

A/N: Finally fucking done. Also there probably won't be a consistent upload schedule. I just decided to do this because it seemed really exciting to me. This was only meant to cover the 1 month timeskip into the war. It only sets up a few storylines. All of which I will list below.
Law's Journey to become a Dragon master (He will become focused on Dragons and this will be the main one.)
Glare's Underworld Shenanigans and Operations (Will mostly be worldbuilding and maybe some comedy. Comedy won't be good though.)
Equiral Dragon War/Rebellion (Will tie in with Law's storyline a few times but it will be in the background until it erupts. I've shown a few reasons on why it will happen during the Siege of the Sap Fort.)
