An Unexpected Divine Protection!

-----

When I asked the Dragon King about why Agni can no longer "make a contract", he gave a long explanation I never expected to hear, it contained a new piece of the truth of this world's history.

"A Dragon is a millenary being. We are the great guardians. In ancient times, we used to make bonds with your tribes, the slaves of the gods. With our combined strength and your intelligence, we overcame the god's tyranny and freed the surface of this world from their grasp. Yet… they remain in the skies, watching and controlling you all." He said. "A Dragon can only make a single contract through their lifespan, due to their tremendous power. Although it has been cut off for now, your contract with Agni will be for life! Make sure to grow strong enough to be able to withstand my strongest son's powers, child. He is waiting for you."
