The Crest of Kokoi
Chapter 1: Embers of Betrayal There was a silent dreariness in her heartbeat, an emptiness that just grew. Each step was slower than the last as her confidence began failing. The insignificant imprints her feet left in the sand vanished as quickly as they had been laid, like whispers in the wind. She had only wanted simple things in life, simple things that others seemed to come by so easily. She yearned for that unconditional love that could raise a person from the barrenness of solitude, a simple touch from someone who saw life when he looked into her eyes.

Let There Be Life
The Earth, shaped by the elemental dragons, stood as a harmonious world. Towering forests stretched toward the skies, their canopies still and silent. Oceans, vast and deep, rippled gently along the shores, while the mountains stood as giants, guarding the horizons. The winds whispered softly through the empty landscapes, as if carrying a promise yet to be fulfilled. Everywhere, the planet seemed ready—balanced, peaceful, but waiting.

Draconis gobbled the dry, hard kibble from his bowl until his forked tongue flicked against the reflective bottom. He stared at his own image: the proud brow ridges protruding over the compact, multicolored eyes; the slits for nostrils opening and closing slowly in rhythm with his breathing; and his sharp fangs dripping with saliva after his not-so-savory meal. By all accounts, Draconis was a vicious beast—except for his size.

Origins
In the beginning, Earth was little more than a silent fragment of stone drifting aimlessly through the black void. Its surface, dry and lifeless, reflected the desolation of space. Rocky craters and jagged landscapes stretched far across the barren expanse, with no signs of atmosphere or life. The silence was absolute, a heavy stillness that seemed eternal, as if Earth had been forgotten by the universe.
