Where... where am I? the draconian thought to himself as he opened his eyes, only to be greeted by an unfamiliar sight. He was lying on the ground, surrounded by a dying forest and a dark haze that seemed to engulf the outer edges of his vision. Axorn stood up, only to step on a small switch hidden under the ground that caused a half broken control panel to slide out of a hidden opening and position itself upright on Axorn's right which caused him to jump from reflexes before realizing what it meant. WAIT A MINUTE! HOW THE HELL AM I BACK ON TRANQUILITY?! Axorn pondered mentally, causing him to scratch his scalp. This is the draconian recognition panel used to gain access into the kingdom... what happened here? More importantly... what happened to the kingdom?! Axorn pressed a few switches on the remaining half of the panel, confirming his identity and then activating a live 3D holographic map of the kingdom... and what he saw caused him to become stricken with shock and fear. The entire draconian kingdom had collapsed! Axorn stumbled backwards and shut off the controls in the process. How could this happen? he wondered anxiously. There were so many fail-safe measures and.. and and the only way it could be destroyed is if... if... and then it hit him. NO! IT CAN'T BE! THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL!... HOW DID THE DARKLING RETURN?! Axorn fell to the ground weeping at the thoughts running through his mind. It's the only possible explanation... the darkling came back and corrupted the draconians, gaining in strength until it grew up. Then it used... Axorn paused. it used my people... my kingdom... my friends... and my family to destroy... to destroy everything on tranquility.... No wonder everything's dead and a dark haze is covering everything... it's sucked the life of the world dry.... Axorn then leaned over and cried his heart out for what seemed like hours before darkness filled his vision and he fell out of the dream....
