In ages past, there once was a little girl who lived in a remote mountain village. The village was no ordinary village, because the people were friends of the dragons who called the mountains home. Together they had lived happily until one fateful day when the town was attacked by marauding and bloodthirsty dragon slayers. The little girl who lived in the village with her family was the only survivor. Alone, the little girl cried and cried until a dragon found her among the ruins and took her in to raise as their own.
As the years passed, the little girl who was named Táhorua grew up. She became a knight alongside her closest friend and companion, an emerald dragon named Rangi. Together, they traveled the world as wandering knights, protecting dragons and humanoids from the cruelty of those like the group of ruthless dragon slayers who destroyed the now young women’s old home.
Táhorua soon became known as the Knight of the Dragon Star, a knight who wielded the might of dragons and the magic of the stars. A knight who protected all that lived, be it a dragon, a humanoid, or a creature from another world. Táhorua and Rangi were loved by those they had helped. For many years, they lived a life of wandering until one fateful event that changed everything.
A great and powerful demon had granted a spiteful former knight, turned bloodthirsty dragon slayer, terrible powers from beyond the shadows. This Slayer had come to hate the Knight for her actions and survival, wishing to destroy and undo everything she had accomplished. In search of the pair, the Slayer formed an army of followers who sought to kill and plunder. For several days and nights, the Slayer and his army left nothing but death and ruin in their wake until another army stood in their path.
This army was led by Táhorua, Rangi, and their allies, who had gathered to stop the Slayer’s reign of terror and destruction. For days, the two groups fought until the moment came when the Slayer and the Knight finally came face to face. As the two fought, bursts of light and shadow shone from their blades as they clashed. The world around seemed to quiver in fear at their battle, and even the stars appeared to shine brighter as if they too were watching.
In a final burst of bright light, Táhorua struck a final blow to the Slayer. Ending the battle and the war, but at a cost. For beneath the night sky, she began to fade and turn into stardust, for the magic she used had a price that could only be paid for by one's own life.
Filled with grief at her death, the dragon Rangi let out a roar of pain and sorrow along with a burst of emerald flames that engulfed the remaining troops of the Slayer’s army. The moment the fight was truly over, he swore to protect what remained of the world that he and the knight dearly loved. After that fateful day, Rangi soon became known as the Emerald Guardian, protector of all, and beloved of Táhorua, the Knight of the Dragon Star. For many centuries, he led the dragons of his homeland and protected the people who lived alongside them until his life's end.
