Nearly a century ago the second Dragon War began when the fledgling Kingdom of Tou began collecting more then six of the legendary Dragon Mecha. For the kings of Shiro knew that if the dragons were all collected together the seal binding their will and power under metal and magic might break. Unleashing them upon the world once more. |
