Dragons....if it is one thing that is apparent, is the enormous variety of dragons that exist throughout the world. Dragons are probably considered to be the most unique concept of discussion in mythology and mythical characters. The fact is that no two dragons are alike, no two dragons are entirely the same, and no two dragons behave the same way, have all led to worldwide view of these unique creatures. Dragons universally by some cultures are considered terrifying and menacing while other cultures consider dragons to be a gift and protector to mankind. The concept of Sárkány is that he is a Hungarian dragon. Interestingly, he is considered to be more of a hydra in some mythologies by having seven heads, but his legend have claims that he is able to take up human form as well. In Tales of Heroes, the history of the dragons varies from dragon to dragon. Dragons typically have two or three forms that they can take such as a human form, their original full dragon form, or sometimes an in-between form (In the case of Sárkány, three forms). The story with this dragon however, is one that is easily definable by him. Always the first to rush into battle, he often narrates himself as he expresses it to all to hear.... "Courage! Bravery! Enduring! I am the great Sárkány. I am the founder of the Great Dragon's Circle, I lead the dragons to glory! I charge forth to any battle knowing it will be my last. Let no sword fail me, for I devout myself and the others with me to the defense of all that live! Failure is never an option, only victory! There is no end to my swings, my armor will fail but my spirit will run through the enemy like a blade. Let all the enemies that stand in my way know that I will never stop! To victory! To glory!" As crazy as the other mythics will view him, Sárkány is a character that is actually played important roles in history. Almost like some destiny was to befall him, the dragon would somehow get a hold of the legendary sword Clarent. In mythology, the Clarent was another legendary sword used by the the Great King Arthur. Known as the Sword of Peace, King Arthur would use the blade to knight his knights contrary to the Excalibur. It was the Clarent that would hold this important role in the creation of the Round Table. Regretfully though, the sword would be used by his own son to murder his father. This regretful story would stain the history of the blade. In Tales of Heroes however...... The blade found its way to the dragon. Sárkány, whatever his past history was, whether he was an evil or a good dragon, would find the sword and know his true calling. He was to lead the dragons of Europe and gather them into one following King Arthur as some distant role model. The creation of the Dragon's Circle was one of extreme importance just like the Coalition of Deities was. Almost all the dragons of Europe allied and joined under his cause to usher a new era of peace. Human mortals would watch as dragons which were regarded as dangerous and violent, to disappear and end any attempt to attack mortals. Sadly, the Dragon's Circle would take heavy losses against the destructive entity known as Cataclysm. Most of the dragons in the Coalition of Deities were wiped out much like the other deities and mythical characters were. Despite the great courage of the dragons, only five remained of the great Circle once Cataclysm was destroyed, but Sárkány is a character that never gives up. Not all the dragons were wiped out. Survivors far and wide still exist, and much like the other deities and mythics, he vows to help rebuild the Circle to its former glory and to continue to serve the Coalition of Deities and his Circle to his last dying breath. Among one human mortal to find him was the Chinese woman Daiyu, another important character and one of the few human mortals to serve the Coalition of Deities. During the 20th century and early 21st Century, these two characters stuck together to one another and were used to each other's personalities and quirks. While it was never considered a marriage, Daiyu would be a woman that would never leave the dragon's side and always enjoy every minute of the dashing character. But like anything else, the dragon is easily distracted by his moments of glory. His past rides with him no matter where he goes. Even in sex, he is not always thinking of the passion of the moment but instead thinking of what person he can save next or what great mission will befall him next.
