Introduction

From the darkness of the void, a light appeared. The light was small and faint at first. Then it grew into a circle globe that became bigger and brighter. It appeared to be a pearl floating through space. Out of the pearl came a sun, stars, and a galaxy of planets. The pearl descended on the third planet from the sun. The planet was covered in water and as the globe descended onto the surface, the land began to rise from beneath the waves and the oceans parted. Soon, a third of the planet was land and the pearl hovered above the ground. Symbols sparkled on the ivory pearl and the light dimmed until a soft glow.

A voice boomed across the air, Behold! The promised land! A vortex appeared above the ground, below the globe and through the vortex came flying through, a giant great white dragon. The scales glistened in sun, its wings spread wide gliding through the air, the dragon reared high into the sky and let out a deafening roar, shooting purple flames of hellfire from its giant mouth. Its fangs and claws were red, made of diamonds, and sparkled in the sun. The dragon landed on the ground and settled. It stood upright and folded its wings behind. Its arms were long and corded with muscles beneath the scales. Its eyes were red with a white iris. The Dragon looked up at the ivory pearl and kneeled before it. Thank you, Mother Pearl, for delivering us here to our new home.

The land sprouted mountains and trees. From the vortex came a chorus of trumpeters as three more giant dragons flew through. The first was black scaled with white claws and white eyes. The second was green with yellow claws and yellow eyes. The third was red-scaled with black claws and black eyes. These are the Pearl Dragons of the Veil, guardians of the celestial Mother Pearl. They were blessed with magical powers of cosmic energy that can destroy, transform, and create any physical matter. They can also use the cosmic energy to project a shield for defense. They stand 300 feet tall; their tails are 125 feet long and at the end is a diamond shape that glows with cosmic flame.

When all the dragons settled down next to the white dragon, the Mother Pearl spoke, "Here is the land I have made for you. Here, life will begin again. You have defeated the agents of chaos and are rewarded with eternal bliss. The armies of the veil will rest here in the garden I have created for you. This sphere will be called Eden, after your forbearer, in honor of the first dragons’ defense and sacrifice during the war of the cosmos. Our victory will now bear fruit to this world and there will be a lasting peace. All my creations will live as one. Your cosmic energies will be intertwined and connected. Go forth my guardians to the four corners of this sphere and enjoy that which you have earned. Your sanctuary awaits you. Use your cosmic energies to ensure balance and peace as the world revolves around the star. You all will keep the balance of the sphere and preserve the sanctuary through your abilities. My creations will roam the earth and live in harmony. Though the war is over, you must protect the planet from the agents of chaos that still exist. Alien races will attempt to invade the sphere at some point and you must guard against their intrusions with your gifts of cosmic energies. The armies of the veil will find peace here and slumber beneath the stars. North and South, you will anchor the sphere as you rest. East and West, you will encircle the sphere and
