Prelude
"For one who has lived as long as I have, to have seen and done what I have, the concerns of the mundane seem trivial. For years I have desired nothing more than to retire in peace, only to be drug back to my duties because of Grave Concerns." Erik Michael of GoldSpear de Sanctanili
GoldSpear POV
For 1,500 years I have watched and protected the those weaker than myself, allowing them the pleasure of a peaceful life. Under my guidance, most of the Realms under my control have known little war. I however have known nothing but pain and strife, since the day at 15 years old I had merged with the Dragon Pearl of one of the oldest dragons alive, Imperius the Imperial Red Dragon.
That day forever changed how my life was going to play out, but also gave a lot of perspective on the way life should be. That day forever changing the need or desire to seek out power or fortune long ago stamped out by the desire to protect as many as possible from the horrors that I myself had seen.
5 bloody avoided wars later, and the people of the realm he was born to, and the people no longer had any taste for war. I have shown them a better way, one on which fathers and brothers lives are not needlessly wasted for the whims of others with power to wield and impress others with. Several like that had learned he had far more power, as he had been immortal since the day he had merged with that blasted Pearl.
His own growing had forced him to remove it, as he had learned the mixture of Races he actually was conjoined in such a way to make him an Imperial Dragon even without the Pearl he had merged with.
For 1500 years I have kept the peace, always knowing that one war could not be avoided. The war to free those abandoned to the Pit of Tartarus, so long ago when the Olympians and Angel's had forced the Titans into the depths. The convergence of Time in that one moment, forever sealing the fate of more realms than could be easily counted.
