From the Time Immemorial
The Moonbeams’ Silver Warriors’ Folk have been keeping dragons from the time immemorial. The origin of these dragons go back high in the past, obscure times. Some time long ago, when the Golden Age for humans came to an end, dragons appeared on Earth. They populated the whole Earth and were huge. No one knows where they rose here from, they were here all at once.
At the same time of yore, people and folks appeared somewhat later that of the dragons, whom no one has known before, they themselves claimed that they came to Earth because of the dragons.
Ancestors of the Dragons’ Folk
Their ancestors were Red Dragon Warrior and Aurora of Orient, whom I will talk about later. They were short of stature, combative people who strangely fought the fiercest when they sat down, crossed their legs strangely, closed their eyes, or hung them on a single point, and did not move at all. They were later named Orient Aurora’s Rays’ Folk. Because they did not descend from Earth, they possessed immeasurable knowledge.
One of the side-shoots of this folk is the Moonbeams’ Silver Warriors, which marks their path by which they descended to Earth from the Dragons’ Folks. When this folk was still living in his original abode, they existed in unity with the dragons. However, with the end of the Golden Age on Earth, circumstances changed: there arrived on Earth those dragons who came to destroy people, and also those who came to teach, to help them.
In the Beginning
In the beginning, more benevolent dragons lived on Earth than malignant ones. They were the ones who helped the shamans of the Moonbeams’ Silver Warriors and that of the Orient Aurora’s Rays’ Folk to drive away the evil spirits of disease. There were few shamans, but they had such a knowledge that they brought with themselves from their own world and that could cause both harm and benefit for humans. The choice was not made on Earth, so shamans could only do good to the people here. Good dragons helped them in this role: they were also taught dragon methods, dragon perspective, drive away ghosts, and fighting skills to a certain extent.
They imparted their vast knowledge to the people, so they prospered. It also happened that a dragon fell in love with a man’s daughter. In such a case, if she was willing, she could live with him. This was important because at that time dragons did not exist in human form, but there were dragon snakes, dragon lizards, and also dragons that existed in a “multi-headed” body, and such kinds.
If the girl accepted the dragon, her family respected it, in addition, they considered it an honour that the dragon had chosen their daughter. Boys were never chosen from humans because dragons are male and do not reproduce in a human way. They revealed this secret to the people, but its way not.
Devastating Dragons
However, benevolent dragons were far surpassed in number by evil dragons devastating tempered. They did not try to do good: they caused diseases, misfortunes, summoned floods, fire, earthquakes on people’s heads, they made tumble down the rocks on them, they moved the stones, the forests to destroy people, they marched up against them a whole host of evil spirits.
Lost Celestial Connection
All these were possible because at the end of the Golden Age, people made such a fatal mistake that caused the Earth to change completely: the fertile, blooming landscapes became desolate, uninhabitable; most of the animals and people were destroyed, all remained dreary and infertile. With the loss of the celestial connection, mankind fell into ignorance, into darkness, which the Dragons’ Folk could not help, but could not do so even the knowledge and effort of the benevolent dragons…
Struggle against the Evil
The suffering of the people caused by the bad dragons took on such terrible proportions that the good dragons could no longer stand by: they taught the members of the Dragons’ Folk to fight and then even they themselves joined battle with the evil dragons: traces of this battle are still guarded by tales even today, in which dragons clash with each other.
The combat was gigantic: it has been taken equally on land, on water, in the air, using both ground and celestial forces. As long as it lasted, the people hid, crouching, fled because the ground was broken, volcanoes erupted, the ground was quaking, the waters flooded everything, the rocks of the mountains crashed down, new mountains rose out of the ground, the air hissed from the dragon lightning, trembled and boiled, dragons and people were choking.
The dragons clashed in flight, and when they crashed down, they continued to fight on the ground, blood flowed, nothing, and no one remained intact.
The fight ended with the victory of the evil dragons. The benevolent dragons largely disappeared from Earth, and those who remained retreated into the mountains, into the rock caves, until their time came to an end. Among people, they appeared only to shamans and they allowed only them close to themselves because the shamans could only defend themselves against evil dragons. True, other people began to fear the dragons, and since the evil dragons were everywhere, they did not dare to approach the rock caves.
Lawless, Unbridled Reign of Terror
Then even the last benevolent dragons became extinct from the Earth, and the lawless, unbridled reign of terror of the evil dragons began: they brought upon men more devastating diseases, spells, natural disasters than ever before were brought upon men, they tortured, devoured, them, demanding girls and boys to be slaves; always young, strong lads and virgin girls to weaken the human race. These youngmen and girls were never seen by anyone again because the evil dragons had either built a dwelling place for themselves under water – and they had done so very far from the palace of the rightfully reigning Dragon King, in addition, they had hidden their existence away from the Dragon King for a while with powerful spells – or their fortress hovered between heaven and earth, or they sheltered in caves with sulfur air; and either they grabbed their victims, flying with them into the air, or they submerged with them in the water, or they carried away the victims into the caves, they all perished beyond recovery there.
While good dragons could still help humans through shamans, the heroic youths always took the road to help the kidnapped girls and boys, but they failed in trying in turn. If one of the young men managed to defeat the evil dragon, then it was ensued by revenge: the evil dragons united and wreaked even more havoc. It often happened that these dragons blew flames to the people’s tents, houses, burned them out for revenge.
Yet the deeds of the heroes have survived, these are the tales that spread from mouth to mouth about them even today.
Dragons of the Tales
The tales depict dragons as multi-headed creatures. In reality, the dragon also had only one head, but several lives: as many heads are depicted in the tales for the dragon, it had as many lives that the human son having a single life had to destroy one by one… It was not an easy task for him!
After the Disappearance of the Benevolent Dragons
After the disappearance of the benevolent dragons, this destruction has lasted for a long, long time, until one fine day someone appeared among the people of the Orient Aurora’s Rays’ Folk who taught the Dragons’ Folk to defeat the dragons: this is how they took up the fight against the evil creatures. The struggle was effective because from then on these people settled for battle, which was also taken over by the Moonbeams’ Silver Warriors, as well.
Memory of the Benevolent Dragons
They also preserved the memory of the benevolent dragons and drew them; as a sign of their respect and esteem, statues of gold were erected to them, and to this very day they still make such golden dragon statues, the scales of which are painted or set out of precious stones, as well as their eyes. Furthermore, that the statue is made of the noblest material, these people attribute magic power to each one, and even the poorest family has at least one golden dragon statue that stands sentinel the peace and health of the family and keeps away evil spirits, spells…
The dragon statue is placed in the most honourable place of the tent, in the middle. The statue is still highly valued even today. If someone receives such a dragon from a family as a gift, it is a sign of the deepest honour, the greatest respect, and acceptance into the family, which occurs only exceptionally even today with the natives of a foreign folk.
Separation of the Dragons’ Folk
The Orient Aurora’s Rays’ Folk and the Moonbeams’ Silver Warriors divided apart yet at the beginning of the fights, the former settled, but the Moonbeams’ Silver Warriors began to migrate and settled down only much later.
There are more of many similar folks who separated from the original Orient Aurora’s Rays’ Folk, one of them is the Great Bear’s Warrior Folk, who have migrated far enough to spread the methods of fighting against dragons there, as well, because dragons can appear anywhere in the world since sinful people have lived on Earth…
Pristine Time
The tales of the Orient Aurora’s Rays’ Folk, the Folk of the Moonbeams’ Silver Warriors and the Great Bear’s Warrior People and that of the Little Bear’s, are reminiscent of pristine time. If somebody knows them, they may come to their common origin, because the tales of other peoples do not know them…
