Prologue
Thousands of soldiers stared breathlessly towards the clear blue skies. Their long awaited moment would soon be upon them. Fear and excitement melded to form a strange tension in the morning chill.

They were the forces of the military nation of Galkes. No monarch held rule over them. Instead, it was their army's supreme commander who bore that responsibility. Once every ten years, this position was decided by a unique ritual known as the Trial of Helldorado. Whoever could tame the great war dragon would be next to wear the mantle of leadership. The only prerequisite was the strength to overcome the beast.

The current commander, Mazra, had achieved that feat a decade prior. By the end of the day, she would relinquish leadership to the new commander, who would then oversee Galkes' future development. However, this was only if anyone possessed the mettle to defeat both her and Helldorado.

The arenas scattered around the capital were all filled with hopeful fighters, their gaze aimed upwards. It was possible some diamond in the rough would emerge victorious, but more likely Mazra's rule would remain intact. Even so, there were still too many unknown factors, which allowed fear, madness, ambition, cunning, and sweat to course freely through their collective consciousness.

At last, the silence was broken by the low beating of wings followed by an ear-splitting roar. Mazra, riding atop Helldorado, then issued her challenge.

"Take up your arms and fight, young warriors! Let your strength prove your worthiness in leading our glorious nation to Helldorado! Even if this task seems too great, do not give up! The empire has told me the notorious murderer is among us! Whoever captures them before the Lightholders do will be handsomely rewarded!"
