The Ur-Dragon

Title: The Ur-Dragon: Sovereign of the Skies

Story:

High above the towering peaks of a shattered world, where the air crackled with raw magic and the clouds glowed with an ominous light, The Ur-Dragon soared. Its immense form cast a shadow that blanketed the mountains below, its scales shimmering with prismatic light, a reflection of its dominion over all dragons. It was not just a creature; it was an avatar of power, the progenitor from which all dragons drew their essence.

The sky itself seemed to bow before The Ur-Dragon. Lightning forked through the heavens as it descended, its wings creating a thunderous gale that shook the earth. Below, dragons of every color and creed gathered, their eyes lifted in awe and reverence. They came not as rivals but as loyal subjects answering the call of their sovereign.

The Ur-Dragon’s voice, deep and resonant, echoed across the peaks. “Children of the skies, rise and unite,” it commanded. “Our time has come to reclaim the world.”

As it spoke, a surge of energy radiated from its form, binding the gathered dragons with an unbreakable bond. Each one felt its power magnify, their flames burning hotter, their wings slicing faster, their roars shaking the heavens. The Ur-Dragon’s presence alone reduced the cost of their efforts, its Eminence ability ensuring that even the smallest drakes could soar alongside the mightiest leviathans.

The battle that followed was a spectacle of draconic fury. The Ur-Dragon led the charge, its colossal form blotting out the sun as it descended upon the battlefield. Its mighty roar heralded the onslaught, and with each attack, the dragons drew strength, drawing cards as knowledge and power flowed freely among them. The Ur-Dragon’s ability to unleash powerful permanents onto the battlefield turned the tide of combat, as ancient artifacts, legendary enchantments, and mighty allies emerged to aid their cause.

The enemy forces, once confident in their numbers, faltered before the overwhelming might of the draconic host. Their spells fizzled, their armies scattered, and their fortresses crumbled as wave after wave of dragons swept across the land. The Ur-Dragon’s presence was a reminder of their inevitable fate: resistance was futile.

When the dust settled, the dragons circled above their sovereign, their roars of triumph echoing through the valleys. The Ur-Dragon perched atop the highest peak, its eyes scanning the horizon. It was not the spoils of victory it sought but the assurance that its progeny would rule unchallenged.

“The skies are ours,” it declared, its voice carrying across the land. “And so they shall remain.”
