Her good intentions would soon turn out to be bad decisions as an unforeseen side effect spread through the community of those taking on the power of dragons, one of which she was no safe from.

Concept & Influences

 * The interest in this story sprung from the confrontation of both Acnologia and Irene in which he did not originally know she was the mother of all dragon slayers and responsible for the very magic he uses as well as his change. As well as the fact that prior to her death/suicide she and he were the only remaining participants in the event known in history as the Dragon King Festival. Both of whom fought for coexistence, both who would soon turn into dragons, yet the roads they traveled took to very different paths.


 * Permission was granted to tell this story and accounts of both characters from their point of view from the Dragon King Festival, the 400 years following and glossing of Canon events and current era.
