[Tyr Zalo Hawk]: 712.Ideas.Immortal'sSong

On the planet of Nelrae, war was raging. Humans and Dragons were locked in an epic clash of power, for control. The dragons were infinitely powerful, but the humans had matched this with their nearly infinite resources and the ability to reproduce faster. It was a hopeless, futile struggle.

Realizing this, the leaders of both races decided to perform a 'joining'- A ritual that would bond their souls together, forcing their lives to become inseperable. However this particular joining was different in that it was not just their souls, but the souls of all their people. Thus were dragons and humans connected forever.

Now, it is 200,000 years after that dreadful war. Humans and dragons are complete equals, and all of the races of Nelrae enjoy the peace it brings. Each race accepts each other and gets along to the point of tolerance. It's a time of blessings, some would say; of good things to come and to go.

In this time, humans are dragons are given ranks; titles based at birth and given by powerful draconic sages, and their human partners. Ranks are based on the child's will to live and thus, important since every dragon is bound to a human and therefore their lives depend on this will to live. While titles, on the other hand, are given out based on predictions of the future and can change at any time.

There are many levels to the ranks, with 'Mortal' being the lowest and 'God' being the highest. There is, however, one who had lived longer than anyone could have predicted; one pair of dragon and human who have lived for just over 10,000 years.

They call them the Immortals and, unlike most pairs, they have not only lived for long, but they have never met before in their life...
