The Story
"O great dragon of the forest! If you can hear my voice, then heed my call. Grant me the pactstone's power!"

Alberia... A kingdom where dragons rule over nature. The Alberian royal family possesses the power of shapeshifting. By forming a pact with a dragon, they can borrow its form and wield its immense strength.

One day, the kingdom is met with a strange and most troubling occurrence. The power of the Sacred Shard that protects the city begins to weaken. In order to protect his people, the seventh prince of Alberia, not yet pactbound with a dragon, sets out on what's known as the Dragon Choosing.

While he seeks a dragon to form a pact with, he'll meet new companions - including a mysterious girl from another time - and face a sudden and inexplicable change in his own father, the king.

Such are the chronicles of the bonds and battles that await the Dragonblood Prince.

The History of Alberia Part 1
A History of Humankind and Dragons; As Told Since Antiquity

It was 1,000 years ago that humans and dragons were locked in a vicious conflict against one another. Humans made continuous technological advancements while dragons chose to honor the natural order of things. It seemed all but inevitable that the two sides should come to war.

Amid the chaos of war, the humans summoned forth a demon to destroy the dragons. But this creature turned on its summoners and cast the world into despair.

To stand against the demon, Ilia -- the greatest among the humans, who would later become Auspex; formed a pact with the Holyworm Elysium, the greatest among the dragons. Their shared struggle saw the fell creature sealed away.

And so ended what would come to be known as the First War of Binding. And so the history of humankind and dragons began anew.

The History of Alberia Part 2
A History of Humankind and Dragons; As Told Since Antiquity

Time passed easily after the First War of Binding, until 300 years ago.

Dyrenell Empire, an empire of demon worshipers; rose in power and freed the fell creature from its seal. And thus, once more, the world was brought its knees.

Through this despair, one emerged to stand against the demon. His name was Alberius.

He was a human who carried within him the blood of dragons.

People rallied around his courage, and for yet a second time, the demon was sealed away.

Following the war; the kingdom of Alberia thrived around its leader, Alberius himself. His descendants maintained peace throughout the 300 years that followed...

Until now.

Alberia: The Royal Family
The Chosen Lineage: Those Who Inherit the Blood of Dragons

The Alberian Royal Family rules over the South Grastaean continent. King Aurelius and his eight children have all inherited the blood of dragons.

The "blood of dragons" refers to unique blood vessels that allow for the forming of pacts with dragons. Only the princes and princesses who have inherited this trait may undertake the Dragon Choosing; in which they will be able to form such a pact.

Up to the sixth born of the royal family has so far passed this trial, each pactbound to their own dragon. And so, this is where the protagonist of our story; the seventh heir to the throne, ventures off to undertake a Dragon Choosing of his own at the best of his father, King Aurelius.
