PROLOGUE

Eons ago, in a time very distant from memory, there was an age of great fighters known as the Jo-lan. Each Jo-lan fighter was gifted with a unique elemental ability and used their abilities to protect their villages. During the time of the Jo-lan, there was peace and rapid development.

That was…until the rise of an evil warlord called Innovain. Innovain was the greatest Jo-lan warrior there ever was. His power was unmatched even by the masters of the Jo-lan martial arts. He had mastered the Jo-lan arts to such a degree that legend refers to him as the Jo-lan-ryu. This was mainly because he had the power to transform into a double-headed black dragon known by all as Souryu. Due to this people started referring to him as Kuroi Ryuu. Unfortunately, even his evil outmatched his power.

Innovain fought against the other Jo-lan fighters and brought them to the brink of extinction. The whole world lived in fear of him. However, there were a few brave warriors who challenged Innovain in the hopes of creating a bright future for the next generation. They did not understand however that the sins of the fathers would be erased by the next generation. Thus…the story begins…
