The Red King's Wake

The myth of the Red King is wrapped in legend and fairytale and is a myth that requires the history of the kingdom's founding to tell.

In 0CE the Dragon descended from the heavens to end the bloodshed the people of his beloved land were causing to his land and themselves. He attempted to stop the people and was nearly exiled because the people grew fearful that they were wrong and the Dragon was going to destroy their chances of winning. So, moments before his execution, the other gods begged their brother to come back to the heavens and assume his real form, but the Dragon refused, claiming the few months living on earth as a human had been the most satisfying in his existence and he wished to die as one of the people he loved. He forgave the people for the sins they were about to commit, refusing to condemn the people he loved.

To ensure their king did not die, the other six gods came to earth and shared half their blood with a human from the region who worshipped them the most who agreed to protect the king while he resides on the earth. With the six beasts help the Dragon created a new kingdom and set the religion to what it is today in the kingdom. The Dragon became known as the Red King and started the von Trauss line, meaning the von Trauss descend from the gods themself.
He ruled for eight hundred years with the same six beasts who saved his life. It is a legend today, but it was true. The Red King is a god, he is the Red Dragon, the king of the gods. He had a single daughter who created the von Trauss royal line. After the eight hundredth year, the Red King decided the people no longer needed him. He decided it was time for him to rest until he was needed again. Before returning to his family in heaven, he promised he would return when the kingdom needs him again. The six beasts promised to remain on earth until the Red King returned again.
Knowing their powers were too great for the people to handle, each went their separate ways to different corners of the kingdom until the Red King returned again. Because the beasts were still half-human the gods allowed the original beast to rest on the earth and brought their souls to the heavens and allowed their sons and daughters to live their promise and wait for the Red King -that’s why they all have regular life spans.
The prophecy says that when the world is bathed in blood and few remember his true name, the Red King will return followed by fire. The six beasts will kneel only to the awakened king and will only assemble when their blood is awakened again.
