The Alpha and Alpha Flame
The leader of the Kakorean species is known as The Alpha. The position itself is also referred to as 'The Horned Crown' by non-kakorean species. No one is born an Alpha, and there's never been more than one Alpha in the galaxy at a time. This is due to how someone becomes the Alpha. It's a symbiotic affair between the chosen Kakorean and a mysterious being named the Alpha Flame.
The Alpha Flame is an entity made of fire, much like soul flames, but this being takes the shape of a drake, according to the Kakorean holding it. It becomes a Wyvern when held by a Saharamph, a Dragon if held by a Wyrmtain, a Drake if held by a Draykle and a Sea Serpent if held by a Serephant. No matter the shape, this flame remains orange in hue.
Its origins can only be theorised since the story of the first alpha only mentions that the flame was found in the deserts near Dunemaug. Following the Soul Flame belief leads most to believe that the Alpha Flame is the soul of Kakoro itself.
When the Alpha Flame bonds to a soul, that individual becomes aware of the entire planet and gains a gentle influence over the planet's living beings - seemingly linked to all souls born on Kakoro. It allows the Alpha to communicate to Kakoreans across the galaxy. The only physical change to the new Alpha is that their existing horns will grow to become a more impressive display.
