This land, (which was inhabited almost solely by women mind you) flourished for years, and under the watchful eye of Queen Integra Wingates-Helsing, who worked under the blessings of the Goddess, the women-folk lived peaceful, happy lives.
However, one day, Queen Integra's 'servant man', Alucard, became incredibly bored. Soon after, a dark cloud appeared over and enveloped the Godess's Tower, and the waters stopped flowing from the Goddess Tower. No one knew what to make of what was happening...
The next day, the Goddess Washu was found. She was left in the courtyard of the palace, encased in solid stone as if to be a statue, with six slots all around the base she was placed on. The Goddess Washu, who protected and cherished the Lands was imprisoned. The Priestesses gathered around the Goddess, trying to break the seal on her stone prison, but to no avail. They determined that they would need the six 'keys' to unlock her.
And then HE appeared. The Dragon Overlord, the head of the Dragon Knights. Dark Schneider. And he had a message for the Queen and ALL the people of Strawberry Field.
"Dark clouds are trendy! The days of Good are gone! The powers of evil shall triumph, so let's party 'till we drop!"
Yes, the Dragon Overlord, Dark Schneider had turned against the Goddess Washu, and made his point clear. He wanted ALL the women in the land, and he would be their king and master! And to make matters worse, Dark Schneider had ALL the Dragon Knights backing him up.
The Red Dragon Knight, Tirga. A smooth-talking, fast-operating weretiger. A fire-user at heard, with a thing for red-heards. It was easy for Dark Schneider to sway to fiery weretiger to the path of perversion.
The Blue Dragon Knight, Tatewaki Kuno. Also known as the 'Blue Thunder of Strawberry Field', Tatewaki was a man that was quite full of himself indeed. With a promise to have the fair lady, Akane Tendo, and the fabeled 'pigtailed girl' Tatewaki was very eager to fall into ranks with the other Dragon Knights allied with their Dragon Overlord, Dark Schneider.
The Green Dragon Knight, Ataru Moroboshi. A pervert through and through. Also is the only Dragon Knight that the people of Strawberry Field questioned about legitimacy. As soon as Dark Schneider offered him a chance for lots of wine and women, he was hooked, and sided with the Dragon Overlord immediately!
The White Dragon Knight, Mamoru Chiba. A tuxedoed 'hero' to the people who had a thing for roses and young girls. With the promise of being with the youngest, cutest ladies in the kingdom, the tuxedo-clad pervert was more than willing to turn against the Goddess.
The Black Dragon Knight, Ashram. Considered the 'strongest' of all the Dragon Knights, Ashram is an honorable man, who's strength lies in his physical, mental, and spiritual capabilities. Plus he's wicked with a sword. With Dark Schneider feeding him lies about the 'chaos' in the land of Strawberry Field, Ashram wanted to help out. Plus, the fact that he has his lady-love Pirotess by his side, Ashram is very willing to keep the land in a state of 'peace'.
The Chartreuse Dragon Knight, Xelloss. A Trickster Priest, who just loves to cause trouble and likes to annoy people. Seems to have a thing for his fellow Priestesses, and has a slight lolita complex with his like for a certain petite red-headed Sorceress. Once he learned who was backing Dark Schneider, (Alucard the Uber-badass who was only in on this, because Dark Schneider is a fucking riot) he was more than happy to join ranks and bring Chaos to the land, (putting him at odds with Ashram).
Thus, Dark Schneider and the Dragon Knights have set up residence in the Goddess's Tower, and with them the greatest weapon, the White Sword, and the keys to seal on the Goddess Washu, six jewel orbs; a diamond orb, an obsidian orb, an amber orb, an emerald orb, a ruby orb, and a sapphire orb. And without the holy weapon, or the six keys, it would seem the lands of Strawberry Field would be under the power of Dragon Overlord Dark Schneider and his men FOREVER... None of the many female soldiers sent to the Goddess's Tower to retrieve the keys had come back.
However, all was not lost. The Great Priestess, Sylphiel had a vision. A Prophecy.
"When darkened fields are striped of flowers, and leaves, out of season, begin to change, the moon shall light our waking hours, and the hero shall come forth from the Southern range."
And so, the Queen and her people have waited for such a hero, waited for a long time...
And tonight, in the Southern range, a hero was making his way. A traveller, who had been fighting monsters almost non-stop, was making his way to Strawberry Field, to take a pit-stop and rest with good food and a night in a warm bed.
This traveller was non-other than...
