Chapter 4

The Great War and the Chosen

 

Tiamat knew that she had delivered a devastating blow, and she wasted no time in utilizing this attack to her advantage. She began to mobilize her vast army of dragons and strike swiftly at all who were not allied with her evil will. And so, the war between dragons began, and all throughout the heavens, death and destruction reigned. The devastation was overwhelming. Entire worlds were laid to waste in the wake of the dragon conflict.

 

The war waged on for over a century. Though many dragons fought fiercely for the glory and goodness of Bahamut, there were others who were affected strongly, for the first time, by the realization of their mortality. They began to weaken with age, and many either fled from the battle or submitted quietly to domination by Tiamat and her wicked force

Those loyal to Bahamut grew fewer and fewer with each passing year. The tide was turning in Tiamat’s favor, and she and her followers grew stronger and bolder with each victory.

And so it was, that in the 112th year of The Great War between dragons, that Bahamut, the one true creator of all, sought to put an end to the strife that raged fierce throughout his creation. Reaching down from the heavens, he pulled up from the earths the finest samplings of all his creation – from the highest mountains, to the deepest oceans, from the lushest jungles, to the driest deserts, from the fiery volcanoes, to the icy tundra. And from this vast array of creation, Bahamut brought forth a new form of life – a race known as humans.
