 ====== II. Earth-Mending Dragon ======

+//<color #efe4B0>"You are the oldest of countless beings\\
+And must protect these brothers and sisters..."</color>//[(Spoken in Titan language.)]
+In the years spent wandering the earth,\\
+The Giant Dragon always remembered the Titan's words for their worth.
+The beasts of the land surrounded it in protection,\\
+While twisted being shuffled and roared,\\
+And delicate chimeras climbed up its shoulders.
+After, the tiny humans came into being.\\
+They dashed alongside the Giant Dragon,\\
+Then in the blink of an eye, disappeared across the land.
+//<color #efe4B0>"What a beautiful era of peace..."</color>//[(Spoken in Titan language.)]
+Yet the deep irises of the Giant Dragon saddened in gloom.\\
+The ancient creature saw, earlier than the Titan did,\\
+Hidden in the deep ocean, the incoming doom.
+----
+==== 2-2 ====
+The Giant Dragon recalled,\\
+At the moment that Strife was born,\\
+The Chalice of Plenty sighed,\\
+And the heretical tide spread from the seabed.
+Bearing their bone-gnawing pain and agony,\\
+Georios tightened every fiber in their body,\\
+No longer hearing the call of their creations clearly.
+//<color #993333>"Your pain cannot save the lives in this world."</color>//[(Spoken by Terravox.)]\\
+The Giant Dragon once swore an oath at the Titan's breast.
+And now, the dragon silently turned and departed,\\
+Leaving the plateaus and mountains of a secluded world,\\
+And entering the bustling cities humankind crowded.
+----
+==== 2-3 ====

+Thousands of years later, the Giant Dragon realized,\\
+Those tiny creations of Kephale,\\
+Had rooted their civilization in time.
+//<color #efe4B0>"H—How can there be such a huge dromas?"\\
+"Dromas? No. That's a walking mountain of gold."</color>//
+Curious residents were amazed at its appearance,\\
+While greedy brokers calculated its value.
+Yet the Giant Dragon simply walked in leisure,\\
+Not harming a single building of any stature,\\
+Nor paying heed to anyone.
+It quietly listened to the people's language,\\
+And its form dissolved in the flames of war.
+----
+==== 2-4 ====
+Many years later, Aquila closed their eyes,\\
+And the Giant Dragon's steps were finally halted.
+A swordsmaster who broke the waves stopped its way,\\
+And a ruler, commander of the chessboard, looked up with inquiry.
+//<color #993333>"Are you the dromas that has been attacking all states?"</color>//[(Spoken by Cerydra.)]\\
+The commander invited the Giant Dragon to hunt the divine flames together.
+The Giant Dragon nodded,\\
+But it did not look at the commander,\\
+And never mentioned where it came from.
+Its timeless sight,\\
+Had already seen past the Flame-Chase's final plight...
+----
+==== 2-5 ====
+//<color #993333>"Georios shall be executed here!"</color>//[(Spoken by Cerydra.)]
+The Titan, in a painful daze, closed their eyes with a sigh...\\
+//<color #efe4B0>"I do not blame you... wild ancestor of souls..."</color>//[(Spoken in Titan language.)]
+Suddenly, the mountains shook and the land cracked.\\
+The wounds dealt by the black tide, once mended by the Titan,\\
+Now tore the land apart again.
+The calamity of lands asunder...\\
+Who should shoulder such a duty?\\
+The Giant Dragon sunk into the earth in answer.
+For the earth was the breast of Georios,\\
+And the dragon's birthplace.
+And from that day forth, Amphoreus had forged a new legend...\\
+Of how a giant dragon collected the broken lands,\\
+And once again made the earth whole.
