《Dragon Of Time and Space》 Prologue 1.1: The World of Jia The world of Jia was said to have created by a being of insurmountable power. Legends has it that the being had created it for the sake of a place to call home. Such a feat only serves to be simply be praised and gawked at. Being able to leisurely do something mere mortals could not even begin fathom or even think as possible to achieve for any living creature¡­- one could easily imagine how powerful this being truly was. One simple word would be able put all logics and reason back into place and make sense of the situation as how to how he was so powerful: God. After all¡­if he wasn¡¯t God, then what was he then? Was he just a mere mortal who had reached the pinnacle of power? If he truly was, then how would he compare to a true god. Was he even worth mentioning before the entity known as God? No impossible. Such powers could not be possessed by mortals, only God. In fact, the idea of such a thing would be laughed and sneered at by others. It was a reaction of a people desperate to deny a possible truth that could topple for what they stand for. For if such a thing was to be true, it would only prove to show the worthlessness of their own existences and how incomparably small they were. It would show the meaningless of life.

So many creatures later came to worship him as God- the being believed to be responsible for the creation of worlds. The world of Jia quickly became a humble abode for the mysterious being after its creation. However it ended as quickly as it began. For reasons unknown, this godlike being simply vanished from the world he himself created. A fact which still daunts many to this day. Only ancient relics and ruins remaining behind left clues that he was once there and serving to remind of the powers he once held. It was,however, a necessary step for changes to take place. Indeed, his very own disappearance brought upon the opportunity needed for weaker beings to emerge. His ¡®death¡¯ brought upon the miracle known as life to the world. With the suitable environment he had created and unknowingly provided, life bloomed on a massive level. Literally. If one was to describe the world of Jia with one word, it would certainly be with the word: MASSIVE. The sheer size of this place could even be considered infinite to many creatures- once again verifying the might of the godlike being. And so, life thrived¡­ Chapter 1: Birth (Part 1) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the certain region of the world of Jia, within an uninhabited forest, an irregularity was occurring. Weird and unknown forces were merging with each other ¨C as if trying to weave something together. The strange forces made the space around it to ripple constantly causing an illusion of blur. Time repeatedly shift from fast to slow causing an eerie moment of silence to appear. The scene occurring was peaceful and yet daunting - giving a strange and omnipotent aura. One that could even make a god scared stiff. Finally, a breaking point was reached. A black speck emerged giving off blacking and blue lightning and shining off white light. It gradually grew and began to take shape. The final product was a darkish blue oval object with hardened scales. It appeared to be an egg of the Dragon race ¨C one of many races living in the world of Jia. However that is where the similarity ends. The aura of this egg was too overwhelming when compared to normal dragon eggs. It seemed to be something not of this world. The dark blue egg began to slowly descend towards a safe location. Once settled, the ungodly forces began to disperse into the air. As it faded, it hummed as if giving the impression of satisfaction with its work. Maybe it truly was¡­. Once the forces were gone, the surrounding areas finally returned to their serene and normal state appearing as if nothing had happened. The wild creatures living near the area, who were scared to near death by the aura it gave off, finally began to settle down. Life in the forest resumed, only this time with the addition of a new member. If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For three days and three nights, the egg remained still and undisturbed. The overbearing aura it once held had disappeared however. Perhaps it was absorbed by the thing inside the egg. The location of where egg nested was deserted and devoid of any living creatures. It was a small empty cave filled with only rocks and more rocks. Only this cave was special. It was seated above a hot spring which gave off a high amount of heat too unbearable for any creature to call home. The conditions here were too harsh for such a place. Had it been a normal egg, it would have certainly died due to the extreme temperature here. After the third night, there was a stir inside the egg. The egg began to wobble slightly giving the sign of what¡¯s to come. Cracks began to form from the center of the scaled egg and then started to spread throughout. A small blackish blue snout peaked out from behind the small cracks. Instinct immediately kicked in and the little dragon began to start sniffing for any signs of danger. Finding no signs of it, he began to work his way out. Using all the strength the little dragon could muster, he finally tore out from the egg¡¯s protection and suddenly collapsed due to exhaustion from expelling too much strength. He laid there for a few minutes before regaining the lost strength. Raising his head, he slowly opens his eyes to see the world he was born into¡­only to find darkness of the cave. No one or nothing. A tint of loneliness appeared in his heart...only puzzling him as to what it was.
