Magic is what others name that in which they cannot or refuse to understand. Since the invention of this concept, all this has done is create war and stir chaos.
Billions have died fighting, either to defend or force their beliefs of magic on one another but never bothering to stop and decipher what magic truly is, and what it stands for.
That is where we come in. We are the beings well known as the dragon gods and despite the name we do not dilute our minds by fancying ourselves as the gods our names proclaim us to be. We refer to ourselves as the Genesis beings, the first of the dragons and oldest living race to continue to roam these lands and we have only ever had the one goal in our minds. To answer the now taboo question of modern society 'what is magic?' we studied and pondered this question for millennia, asking all known species we could possibly find, careful as not to disturb or interfere into the beliefs of any of the living or even the dead. Our intentions were the purest of any, until one day we asked the wrong creature. They called themselves alicorns, creatures of magical power second only to our own. The alicorns did not like our intentions or our research and therefore saw us as a threat. Being the pacifist creatures that we are we first attempted to reason with the alicorn race and come to coincide peacefully. But the Alicorns refused and said the only way for our two races to live in peace with one another would be for us to abandon our search for answers and come to recognize them as our superiors under threat of death. We refused these terms and decided if there is to be a war then we shall not back down; dragons will always suffer at the hands of their own pride. So began began the eternity war.
The eternity war waged for millennia past and shall continue for millennia to come. At the beginning of the war we became ruthless and used the knowledge of magic that we had learned in a new found way, that we were soon to regret 'kill.' We had nearly wiped all sentient life off the planet leaving a horrid path of destruction in our wake that stained the soil with the scent and color of blood for century’s, craters from magical blasts that could be seen clearly from orbit and many different corners of the globe left engulfed in permanent flame or frost, forests and jungles alike were left salted so they may be barren until the end of time. As we began to realize what we were doing it was decided that we stop before what little life remained was scoured from the face of the world, however there were those of us whom did not feel the same.
These dragons were called 'Fractum' they had been corrupted by the war but only through pure intentions. What they had hoped to do was use this war as a learning experience, they stumbled across something that clearly angered their hearts and made them become the beasts we now know them to be. This only intensified the Eternity war sprouting more and more hate as the war continued on. All races were now at war, and not just with other species but amongst themselves aswell. They did however eventually come to a truce with one another and thought it wise to focus fire on our race being the most threatening. We found ourselves cornered with little to no idea of how to go about this situation without finishing off every sentient being on the planet and eventually ourselves. We realized that if we were suddenly out of the picture then peace would settle upon the lands. We thought it wise to just disappear into hiding until our race becomes little more than a legend before carefully revealing ourselves once more. But then there were the Fractum, brothers and sisters of ours too far gone to even consider peaceful ways and you were either with them or against them. With no options left we came to the only logical conclusion, stop the Fractum.
It only took us a decade to formulate the most powerful spell ever created that would be able to cast the Fractum from this world out into the void. It was created by the most intellectual Genesis to ever grace this world, he was our king, our leader lord Cupitor and more importantly my father. He gave his life using this spell as did so many others of our brothers and sisters. In order to cast this spell the worst of all things magical had to be committed. Mass sacrifice, this spell was named 'Titan Chain' and was intended to keep the Fractum in the void until hopefully the end of time. But before Titan Chain was performed we were enlightened by Cupitor that a flaw had been found in the spell. All the magical energy put into the spell would not simply disappear for they follow the same rules as matter in the aspect 'matter cannot be created nor destroyed, only changed'. What this meant was that all the magic that was to be used to cast the spell would pass over into the void and be capable of use and if channeled correctly can be used to break the Titan Chain spell and free the Fractum back into our world after a few thousand years. Regardless the spell was performed even if the losses were heavy and left us in a weak and vulnerable state at least we had brought some time for this world to live on before the Fractum cut loose with what they had themselves planned as an attack spell, never has the Genesis race been so happy not to learn of how a type of magic works, even its name frightened them 'Saeculi Finem', designed to destroy reality itself.
After we had trapped the Fractum within the Titan Chain we fled the populated areas to escape the war before more of us turned. Though we may have escaped the immediate danger of the Fractum there were also the alicorns whom still hunted us Genesis beings. We had no choice but to keep running, and so we did. We ran forever, hiding in demeaning places and doing even more demeaning things that infuriated dragons of our stature. But even though we were constantly on the run we continued on our great journey, Our journey to find the true meaning and workings of magic. On this journey we continued our research on how to improve the Titan Chain seal. Three things were discovered during our research, we found out that the only way to make the seal permanent was to have a Fractum use its magic on the seal from outside the void to pulse one of two types of magic on it. Positive magic called 'Bonum' to strengthen it, or negative magic called 'Malum' to shatter the seal. The only problem was that we didn’t know if any Fractum had even escaped the Titan Chain spell or even if they could. But here is where the remaining Genesis became frightened. The third thing that was discovered was that only the magical properties of a Fractum egg could escape the chains grasp, but the only known Fractum to have ever laid an egg that survived was the Fractum warlord known as 'Hades'. The strongest Fractum who ever lived and possibly even the strongest Genesis who ever lived. The worst part about this was that it would be almost impossible to find a lone Genesis egg after the Titan Chain spell, especially if we stumbled across the wrong egg which would be devastating to end up with a normal 'Draconem' dragon egg. The only way to tell the difference between the two is the time it will take to hatch. We have been searching for this egg for millennia now, in hopes that it won’t be too late to find where it is before it succumbs to the rage and greed filled side of the Fractum. We could only hope for the best and prepare for the worst. But even with all that in mind we still did not anticipate the young dragon we found. He was young when I found him, young and happy even if he was a simple slave to the young race of Ponies. He didn’t seem to care, and I weep every day knowing that I had to take the young dragon away from all his ignorant bliss. The young Equestrian Genesis dragon known simply as 'Spike'.
