The winds howled across the open sea as Pitaya Dragon soared above the vast expanse of water, their massive wings cutting through the air with ease. The destination lay just ahead: an ancient island, far from the bustling kingdoms and noisy cities, where dragons from every corner of the world gathered once every hundred years for the grand event—The Century Courtship.
The event wasn’t just a celebration of strength but a ritual of courtship, where dragons came to find their mates in a brutal yet honorable display of might. On this remote, sprawling farm island, dragons engaged in combat, not for glory or conquest, but for love. Winning a mate required proving one's dominance and ability to protect the family line. Each dragon would fight against potential rivals, and only the strongest could claim a mate worthy of their home nest.
Pitaya Dragon was no stranger to battle. Known for their fiery temper and raw power, they had fought countless wars, crushed armies beneath their claws, and soared through battlefields like a living storm. But today, there was a different tension in the air. This was no ordinary fight; this was a fight for the future.
The farm island appeared on the horizon, a lush, green land with rolling hills, towering ancient trees, and wide-open fields. Cattle and other livestock roamed freely, seemingly unbothered by the looming presence of the gathering dragons. As Pitaya Dragon descended, they could already see the array of other dragons landing, some in groups, others alone. Mighty creatures with shimmering scales, some with horns as tall as trees, others with wings that blotted out the sky. Each was here for the same reason—to find a mate.
