Among the most elusive of dragon breeds are the Aeon Wyverns, a breed whose innate control over time mana marks them singular and great. They are able to peer into the multi-dimensional plane of time, seeing all that is, all that has been, and all that could be—within a small localized zone.

What he perhaps finds the most curious is that some of those in this other world share the names of dragons in this world, and especially curious does he find that most prominent vision, a mournful figure clad in moonlight, who shares the name of a certain gold dragon...
