//------------------------------// // Mythology // Story: The Last Human // by Blackdragn18 //------------------------------// This is a summary of the religion There were once three lords of the world. There was Crosis who was the ruler of death and the afterlife, then there was an unnamed dragon later named Envy who was the watcher of humanity, then there was the strongest of the three and the leader of the other two he had no true domain but supervised the other two, his name was Nicol Bolas Dragon Lords Nicol Bolas- Nicol Bolas was the oldest and strongest of the three dragons. He was the creator of the other two dragon lords as well. He was a yellow-green dragon with curved horns with a floating gem between them; his eyes were a vibrant green. He was also the only one to wear armor as well. He wore braces on his arms, armor on his shoulders, and armor on his torso. He was the creator of the other two dragon lords. Crosis was created out of the bones of many humans. Envy was made from his caring and kindness as small as it was; this is why Envy was the weakest due to his source of birth being so small and weak. Nicol Bolas was more powerful than any other dragon ever known. He was able to breathe extremely hot fire, ice that could freeze anything and a corrosive breath that could melt anything. He was also extremely charged magically this is why he was able to create Crosis and Envy and hold so much power over the other two. He also had the ability to simply touch someone and shatter their entire mind. Having 700 years of experience over the other two meant he was much wiser and stronger in another more Crosis- Crosis was the ruler of death and the afterlife. He was a sleek black dragon with piercing red eyes. He was able to raise the dead and kill the living with a mere roar. He breathed a corrosive breath that could dissolve anything it hit. He was the second strongest of the three dragon lords and the least seen as he was often running the afterlife. Crosis eventually created three weaker subordinate dragons to help him watch over the afterlife. There was Ryusei, Keiga, and Kokusho these became known as the three lesser dragon. Crosis was the one who informed Bolas of the intents of the Envy and helped to apprehend him with the help of three lesser dragons. Envy- This dragon went unnamed through most of his life. He was a beautiful emerald-green dragon, his wings were glorious silver with blade-like tips and silver spines that matched his wings, his eyes were also a gorgeous blue. He was the guardian of humanity. He was able to breathe ice that could freeze anything Envy was considered the weakest of the dragon lords from the start. Part of this was because Nicol Bolas did not want him to be too strong when he was in charge of humans. He was the most seen of the three until he fought Bolas and Crosis. Eventually Envy got tired of dealing with the suffering of the humans and became jealous of the positions Bolas and Crosis had. Due to this Envy he planned to over throw Bolas and take rule. His plans were found out by Keiga who then told Crosis who then told Bolas. When Envy came to challenge Bolas who was ready. When Envy came Crosis and the three lesser dragons pinned him down. Bolas then told him that if he was so jealous of something so silly he should have a real reason to be jealous. Then he deformed Envy into a freakish monster and renamed Envy. His wings were removed. He grew two more arms and legs, his back spines were lost and he grew and unruly black mane. In his left eye the white part was turned black and in his right he developed five more irises. His sides were filled with the torsos and heads. From then on he was seen almost never and Bolas ended up assigning Keiga to his old position. Lesser Dragons. Ryusei- Ryusei was one of the three dragons created by Crosis to assist him. Ryusei was the eventually made the ruler of fire. He was a long serpentine dragon. His body was covered in many spike plates that covered the top of his body. That were often ablaze. He also had flaming red eyes. He had two small arms. He was the most sadistic of the three lesser dragons. Keiga- Keiga was one of the three dragons created by Crosis to assist him. Keiga eventually replaced Envy as guardian of humans after Envy disappeared. He was the ruler of water as well. Keiga was a long serpentine dragon with bowl-like extensions along his body, these were often filled with water he had two pointed white horns on his head. Keiga was considered the wisest and kindest of the three lesser dragons. Kokusho- Kokusho was one of the three dragons created by Crosis to assist him. Kokusho is the least known of the three since he stuck with Crosis for his entire life working with death most and never really coming out of the afterlife. All that is known is he was a long black serpentine dragon. Death of Envy and Crosis After a century of absence Envy returned with an army of dragons and hydras from other parts of the world to terrorize humanity and get revenge on the other two. Ryusei and Kokusho were sent to confront Envy and his army. Ryusei and Kokusho were attacked by two hydras due to a lack of understanding of them the two began to cut off the hydra heads in an attempt to kill them which ended with them being overpowered by the many heads. Kokusho was never found however, Ryusei’s body was sent to Bolas’ front door to his palace. Crosis was enraged at the death of two of his dragons so he went to confront Envy. After getting to him Crosis easily disposed of the hydras knowing how to do it he used his screech of death to kill all of the lesser dragons Envy had accumulated and got to him rather easily. The two then battled Crosis however was caught from behind by a hydra that had survived and had his throat cut from a bite from one the heads. Bolas was watching the scene and after seeing Crosis fall he flew straight to Envy. Upon Bolas’ arrival Envy pulled the body of Crosis and taunted about how he easily killed such an excuse for a dragon. The hydra that had killed Crosis prepared to strike however Bolas wrapped his tail around all 6 heads and broke the necks all at the same time, since the heads were not removed new ones were not grown so the hydra was killed. Bolas then came up to Envy he broke all of his limbs easily. As Envy begged for mercy Bolas used his touch to break Envy’s mind. Envy was then forced to the form of a human and left brain dead in the woods to be eaten by wild animals. Crosis was given a true memorial along with Kokusho and Ryusei. All the humans, Bolas, and Keiga were the attendants. Keiga’s Death Keiga was killed while protecting the humans from a hydra Keiga won by drowning it in a flood but he was killed by a fatal bite from the hydra soon after. Departure of Bolas With the loss of the other two dragon lords and the three lesser dragons Bolas had nothing to remain here for. He had already learned all he could from this world he planned to depart. However to keep his followers safe he left a monument that resembled his horns that was charged with magic, he then told humanity their extinction was coming and that they needed to create a warrior using the magic of his monument to create it. Bolas then left this world.
