Dragon Core
Written and Develped by Michael DeLally(Everythingisbleeding)
The History of Lothoron
The continent of Lothoron is made up of three competing natios: Baltion, Selzia, and Altaer. These three nations compete by boasting their armies, technology, and magically adept. Fortunately, this has never led to conflict.
Every 200 years the Dragon Cores are summoned. The Dragon Core are six elemental essences that contain the powers of an ancient dragon. When the summoning occurs the Dragon Core choose six random people to host. These essences give magical powers to the hosts. These powers are alike to the element of the Dragon Core. Along with unique powers the host has the power to summon the dragon within them, and to become the dragon. The host then has one year to complete a series of trials, or he will be sacraficed to save the dragon. There has yet to be a Chosen to succeed.
It is the fifth summoning of the Dragon Cores, in the seventh year of Ten Moon, 1000 E.A. The nations are competing more than ever to get their hands on the Dragon Cores. You are Axes, a young adult with no known past. You and five other Chosen will be thrown into a crisis way above your head, and the plot of a disturbed King will throw all of Lothoron into peril.

Unique Game Features
Dragon Whisper- This is a in-game feature which allows you to talk to Isthar, at any time in real time. Isthar will give you hints, and tips, as well as give remarks that rely on many factors such as health and how many times you use him in battle. This feature can come in handy. Pressing the Z button at anytime activates this.

Summoning- When Axes reaches a certain level he can summon Isthar in battle. This can be very brief, or he can stay for the remainder of the battle as a party member.
Active Time Event- During certain points in the game the Active Time Event(ATE) promt will appear on-screen. Choosing to view an ATE is up to you. ATEs are cutscenes that are occuring at the exact moment thay occur. This helps allow you to view certain cutscenes at your own pace. This feature is being borowed from Final Fantasy IX.
