Text	The True Runes: Their Creation In the beginning... there was Darkness. Darkness lived for eons in a rift in time. Suffering in solitude for so long, Darkness finally dropped a Tear. Two brothers were born of Tear. Sword and Shield. Sword said he could cut anything to pieces. Shield swore he could protect anything. And so, the two went to battle. The battle lasted seven days and seven nights. Sword cut apart Shield, and Shield broke Sword into pieces. Fragments of Sword fell and became the sky. Fragments of Shield fell and became the earth. Sparks from the battle became the stars. The jewels that adorned Sword and Shield became the True Runes, and the World went into motion.

Text	Ancient Teachings At certain times, the runes can give men immense powers. The power they provide is magic. Each rune provides four magical powers. But the great ancient magician Crowley found a method of surpassing teachings. If two souls are united, two runes are united, and their ultimate power is unleashed, a power greater than the sum of the parts is generated. The union of souls means that two runemasters apply their magic almost at the same time. The union of runes refers to harmony. In other words, Fire and Earth, Earth and Wind, Wind and Water, Water and Lightning, Lightning and Fire are harmonious. Ultimate power means the release of the maximum runic magic. When three of these powers are combined, the greatest of magical powers is unleashed.

Only those children who succeed in bonding with a dragon, become a Dragon Knight. If a child fails to bond before the age of six, he will never become a Dragon Knight. The bond between a dragon and his knight is strong. A dragon lives far longer than a human, but should a Dragon Knight die, his dragon, out of sorrow, will take its own life. On the other hand, if a dragon dies first, its master loses his rights and privileges, and must leave the Knights of the Dragon's Den.
