Long ago, a fierce war between Angels and Dragons shook the world. In the end, the angels vanished, their existence fading into legend.

One bright day in his kingdom, Akihito, the Dragon King, strolled through the village. His dark pink eyes were calm, his presence a comforting sight to his people. Suddenly, a young girl ran up to him, excitement sparking in her eyes. "Your Highness!" she cried, stimming with joy. "I saw an angel in the woods!"

Akihito chuckled, patting her head. "Angels went extinct a long time ago, sweetheart," he said gently, though her words lingered in his mind.

Later that day, he found himself walking through the forest, tracking a demon rumored to roam there. As he gripped his sword, the forest grew quiet, shadows gathering around him. Then, high up in an old tree, he saw something that made him freeze.

In the branches rested a figure draped in a soft, radiant light.

"Is that... an angel?" he whispered, unable to believe his eyes.
