How to Train the Dragon

In the great fantasy traditions of Asia, there are those who walk between worlds. The immortal heroes of ancient tales who cultivated their spirit across lifetimes, who earned the trust of celestial creatures not through force, but through the depth of their character.

The dragon in this tradition is not a monster. It is a test. A mirror. A companion for those who are ready.

Above the city, two such figures rise — one in the stillness of inner mastery, one in the joy of flight, red sash trailing through the clouds. The dragon coils around them both, golden and vast, ancient as the mountains. Birds of every colour move through the air. Below, the modern world carries on, unaware that something timeless is happening in the sky above.

Some bonds cannot be forced. They can only be cultivated — over time, over lifetimes — until the spirit and the dragon recognise each other as kin.
