The ancients When the great ice age started to reseed and life started to grow back on earth. Two million years ago nature was just taking form on land and at sea. The last of the two great spirits no longer wishing to sit by and see earth without new life and bored with the old decided to make a change. The first spirit was the spirit of fire controlling the volcanoes that helped worm the earth after the ice age. The spirit spawned six dragons three male and three female one female fell back into the volcano to never climb out again. Her mate lonely and depressed buried himself in a far off land to never be heard from again. Thousands years alone could drive you nuts. The other dragons went on to build families it was slow as they could only lay one batch of eggs and hatch them when earth was ready for each one there had to be room and food had to be plentiful. They could not have more than four children alive at one time just to keep their numbers down to what the earth could support for dragons never die other than death by other dragons. The other spirit who was the spirit of water spawned a sea creature. The sea creature would evolve to what is known as human .Humans never had that rule so they would bring many lives into existence never thinking of earth humans could die so the numbers would climb and fall like the sun The dragons changed by making rules not to harm the humans other than self-defense and be at one with nature. The humans changed from helping each other to build and learn how to build new things to make life easier. To building tools that could harm each other destroy nature and killing each other to get the same tools. This is greed a short lifespan cause’s greed. If you could see them you would see the elves are from the same strain as human with just one twist they lived a long life over three thousand years and they are at one with nature. Elves are never seen as they live in the forest most of them are like a druid who can live off the land in harmony with nature. The only time the elves fight is self-defense or to help others in need. Think we are all part of the ancients and who said change is good. The dragons stayed back out of view to keep an eye out as guardians over the humans. Keeping humans alive as much as they could but one day they would have to try to stop them from destroying them self’s and earth along the way. The dragons watched out over nature along with the elves this was a simple task as nature looks after its self. The humans on other hand turned out to be harder than they thought as humans seek power now more than anything. They had seen the dragons as the most powerful force on earth and would try for many years to take this power from them. Most of the dragons understood this need for power for they had power from day one and dealt with it the right way. Humans would not understand or control this power if they had it they would use it against each other killing off everything in their path just to have the most power. One day the dragons hoped they would find a human that would see the good in others and not destroy just because they could after thousands of years they gave up hope they would ever find this human. They had destroyed so much of their land and there humanity as they would call it they had to find something to blame all this destruction on to make them feel better so they created gods. Each clan had their own god and some clans had many gods believing in gods gave there men strength and guidance. The guidance came from the men that had the most power telling the others that there god had told them this is how it was to be. There was very little left of the earth that the ancients could say was in the same shape as the day time started. Only two of the original dragons still lived one Mithrex the greatest of them all and the oldest lived in solitary in the Sahara desert. Mithrex only came back to visit his family or to set things right when nature got off course he had not been back for over one hundred years. The other was Thaldon who was hibernating underground he had been asleep for most of the time he has been alive coming to surface every 50,000 years he had only thirty years left and would have to surface for food. Mithrex would be there for when Thaldon his brother came to surface he would not be pleased with how there was so many rogue dragons that would not follow the rules. Thaldon had spent his life that he was above ground keeping peace and would destroy all that challenged him. The story you are about to read is not just a story it is part of the memories of the ancients they are the scrolls that cannot be destroyed by Humans. I know this to be true as the memories are mine

About the Book
The world of magic has disappeared. The dragons, witches, wizards, fey, and unicorns are all gone, and many are left wondering what happened to them. Are they really gone, or are they just in hiding?
Loot is a young orphan boy who lives among the Viking clan. He has no knowledge of his past, and his future is just as unknown. He has only just returned to the village of his childhood after a year spent wandering the Smoking Mountains. He survives a dangerous encounter with the Clan of Dragons, enemies of his adopted people. Even so, Loot’s return does not bring celebration, and some people even feel he should be punished. They have no idea that Loot is the key to the world’s salvation.
The boy has the power to save the human race and perhaps even to return the ancient dragons to places of power. As his mysterious past begins to reveal itself, it soon becomes clear that he is much more than a weak orphan boy. Before he can become a hero, though, he must first come to terms with his hidden history—and prepare for battle.
