THE LEGEND OF THE DRAGONS

The art of the dragons is a very unique art among the rest because it practices the worship to the dragons, ancient creatures that once roar in the earth, this mythical art can transform the human energy into power for good or evil depending of which dragon the user decides to adore.

This cult comes from all parts of the world and in many ancient cultures was used, therefore there are different ways to learn the abilities of the dragons.  The power of the dragons gives the user the power over many elements among other powers, but the resonance among the different dragons provokes the user to look for the challenge of other dragon, those who pay respect to the legends will fight for honor but those blinded by ambition and power will destroy the adversaries to gain more power from the defeated dragon

The dragons have been in many different ways and in very different persons along the history, they have decided many important parts of mankind during many centuries, sometimes evil dragons raise to gain power to be superior to other dragons and rule, it's when the dragons must clash to balance the power and keep peace.

The humans are conducts to the dragons energy, and can live in harmony or be consumed by the power of the dragon, those that had summoned a dragon are also mark to be in constant confrontation with the rest of the dragons and to feel the resonance of the spirits, only those who train can control the full power of the Dragons, those who don't will live in a constant confusion because they don't know how to deal with the Dragon spirits.
