Description

Meet the Deadly Alliance team of human heroes to Dragonknights, World Dragon Rangers.

 

Do you remember American Dragon: Jake Long? Do you watched the first season and then second season when you watched the sudden change design? I do. The show was created by Jeff Goode and it was actually created before Disney picked the show up.

Before the show was aired, there was another title before the name changed is Doug the Dragon. Do believe me? you will. The premise tell the story about a young teenage boy was caught in the middle the war between the dragons and hunters in the modern day. I remember a little about the premise but that was only an early draft. The next early draft was Jake Long's dragon form in green but didn't you know that there were other concepts of Trixie and Spud before it changed to the final draft? And did you know that the main villain, the Huntsman, dressed up as a modern day tough thug wielding a big sword? And of course, I know what you're going to ask, where did you get those information? Well, I'm not liberty to say but... though, what the hey, of course I'll tell you. There's a video about the concept artworks of American Dragon: Jake Long. If you want to find out, I suggest you search it on Google or on YouTube if it's there. :/

 

This is my first inspiration.

 

The next inspiration is from the Legend of Spyro series, the first reboot of Spyro franchise before he became a toy version for Skylanders series. I was a huge fan of Spyro games. Spyro the Dragon is one of my favorite video game series of all time. After I played and beat the original PlayStation one games, the first reboot, it was amazing. The story is impressive, the music is absolute amazing, and the voice casts from Hollywood make like you're watching a trilogy movie. Yep, you heard me right, trilogy. Though I didn't got the first game but I got the second on Nintendo DS and the third and final game on Xbox 360. Overall, it's one of the most amazing games I've ever played.

 

That was a second inspiration of this artwork.

 

Enjoy my artwork! :D

The young Dragonknights from around the world chosen by the Heavenly Dragons to defend the magical creatures and greater good from the evil Dark Dragonknight Sirus Malefor and the Order of the Black Dragon.

 

Origins

The Early Days

Long ago in the middle age of Antichthon, the Dragonknights have been existed over the millennium and they've kept the balance intact like the Dragon Gods kept the balance between Order and Chaos.

 

Among the Dragonknights is the father of Luke Dragonson who has learned about the prophecy that one day his son will fulfill his true destiny and defeated the exiled Dragonknight Sirus Malefor, leader of the Order of the Black Dragon.

But it wasn't until when the dragon hunters raided his home, preventing the prophecy. Fortunately, his father has prepared for the moment as he hidden his son away beyond the realms from his native home before he died in noble death of defending the greater good.

 

And thus, Luke Dragonson, son of Leo Dragonson, is found and raised by a friendly Dragonkind farmers after he was found in the river at the farmland.

 

A New Beginning

16 years later, life was good for Luke Dragonson as he was taught of how to be a farmer like his adoptive parents but not knowing his destiny or where did he come from. He was befriended by other farmers thanks to his blood of the dragon despite he's in his human form.

 

Until one day, Luke was encountered by the huntsmen looking for him while he was playing hide and seek with his friends but he rescued them and defeated the huntsmen.

As he returned the farmland with his friends, all alive and well, Luke learned the truth about him and his true origin of his real birthplace. At first Luke doesn't believe the story was true but it was until that he had a pendant from his basket when he was only an infant which the story was indeed true. With the truth comes out from his foster parents, Luke decided to go to the Dragonknights' Temple where he will learn more about his origin and the truth; but not before he said goodbye to his foster parents and old friends.

 

On his journey to the Dragonknights' Temple, he encountered monsters on the way and helping the innocents at the remote village in the forest where they've harassed by annoying fiends. With many obstacles is cleared from his path, Luke finally reached the Dragonknights' Temple but all what's left of it was ruins but there are several clues about his past and true nature of himself. He followed the paintings with the symbol of the dragon (the pendent he carried all the time) and discovered his father's tomb where he meet each other for the first time but alas, his father is now in the Spirit Dragon Realm, an Afterlife where all heroic dragons laid to rest after their noble deeds for the greater good.

As their first and last meeting each other is over, Luke sensed the presence of someone else until he revealed himself; it was Master Sensei Long, an old friend of Leo Dragonson, who sensed his presence known and he was brought to the Dragonknights Academy where he will be trained to be like his father. Luke is not alone after all, there are many young ones like him who has the blood of the dragon.

 

Luke and Sensei Long travelled to the academy in the city of Ignitus and met with other students as well his new friends, Jean-Leon Le Dragon, the French Dragonknight; Tesla Drakon, the female Dragonknight from Russia; Eric Drake, the British Dragonknight; Nigel McDragon, the Australian Dragonknight; Petro Drago, the Italian Dragonknight; and Dieter Von Dragne, the German Dragonknight. At his first day of the academy was pretty rough but he was helped and taught by Tesla on the next day. His progress of becoming the Dragonknight was very good, better than his first day, and earned respects from his fellow young Dragonknights except Nigel at the time.

Months after training at the academy, Luke is fully recognized as a Dragonknight by the council and Master Sensei and was gifted to have a magical dragonfly and transforming into his true form during the ceremony of his graduation. Then suddenly, his transformation was incomplete when the academy was under attacked by Sirus' army and Luke and young Dragonknights must repel their attack which they did. As they've cleared the academy inside, they faced the commander of the raid outside of the academy. Luke and the other Dragonknights fought the dark commander in a intensive battle until Luke's transformation is fully completed as he's turned into a real Dragon Form and defeated the commander single-handedly in his efforts to save his friends.

 

After the academy is saved and their raid is repelled, Luke finally understands of his true origin and the blood of the dragon which it would have caused to transformed his Dragon Form as his Aura. The battle may be over but the war was only the beginning as his quest of his true destiny began.

 

A day after the attack, Luke and his fellow Dragonknights must find and stop Sirus' army despite orders from Master Sensei and the council as they ventured to the dark woods where the remaining forces are retreating. Rumors that the relics of the Elemental Dragons of Artus have been stolen during the raid and they have to get it back.

They've travelled to the icy mountains of Cyrillus, high plains of Terradon, the towering Thundertower of Volteernus, and the volcanic island of Emberus. One by one, they've recovered all the relics and heading back home to Ignitus. But not before they faced Revolver Dragonblood who holds other Dragonknights, Jin Imoogi Yong, the Korean Dragonknight; Yugio Ryuishi, the Japanese Dragon-Samurai; Ronaldo Drãgan, the Brazillian Dragonknight; Eli Talibyon, the Egyptian Dragonknight; Max Dragonwing, the Canadian Dragonknight; and Jan Van Der Draak, the Dutch Dragonknight, as hostages unless they handing it over to him which they refused until Jack Rosedragon, the Scottish Dragonknight, freed his fellow Dragonknights and defeated Revolver Dragonblood for good.

With the defeat of Revolver Dragonblood, the young Dragonknights returned to Ignitus.

 

As they've returned with the missing relics and other Dragonknights, Master Sensei is very disappointed but very relieved that they're alive and well despite of this. With the relics are now save and Nigel gave the respect to his friendly rival, the Dragonknights earned his rest for the long moment.

 

The Eternal Night of the Dragon Stars

One year has passed and the Dragonknights have been trained for their preparation for the defense against Sirus' army. During the time of their training, Luke has a strange vision from his dream which later turned out to be a message from his father and told that Sirus will corrupt the Dragon Stars with the power from the sinister Jerchon Viledrake, the evil creature known as the Veill. After their defense against Sirus' army, Luke left the city and find the wise Dragon Chronicler named Astor the legendary Dragonknight of Time for his advice of how to prevent the corruption.

 

As he ventured to the west through the woods, Luke was being followed by Tesla who was worried about him in which he can't deny anything to her but honest. After a difficult explanation, Luke continues his own quest but that doesn't stop following him as few others joined his quest until they were captured by Veills and taken to the Kapak Pirates' armada where they were force to fight them as well to each other.

During their captivity, Luke and his fellow Dragonknights have a plan to escape from the Kapak armada until the allied Dragonkind pirates attacked the Kapak armada and they have a chance to escape as they've fought their way out while helping the allied Dragonkind pirates including the Dragon Pirates led by Bakster Braazdrake.

As they've escaped from the Kapak Armada, Luke was knocked by a debris and then his spirit was sent into the unknown realm of time where Astor the Dragonknight of Time summoned him.

 

Luke was found himself in the Dragon Realm of Time and he must pass his four trials which he did with his skills and understanding of how to defeat them with magic.

After he passed the trails and defeated the elemental dragon spirit, Luke met Astor for the first time at his Chamber of Chronicles where learned more about his father, his heritage, and the history about Sirus and the first Dragonknights. After his questions are fully answered and learned the histories, Luke learned about how to stop Jerchon by using his magic of time in order to save the Eternal Night of the Dragon Stars. With his new and only power acquired, Luke returned to the living realm.

 

As Luke returned to the living realm, he found himself at the shores near the Mountain of Sirus thanks for the help from the Dragon Pirates and reunited with his friends. The Dragonknights continue their quest as they're going to confront Jerchon and his Veill army.

Deep inside the dark mountain, the Dragonknights fought bravely against the Veills and reached the center of the mountain where they faced Jerchon before he corrupted the Dragon Stars. Luke face off with Jerchon alone and they fought each other in a intensive battle. During the intensive battle, Luke was struck by the dark star while standing on the center of the mountain that it was supposed to corrupt the Dragon Stars and transformed into a Dark Dragonknight, a power that its too much to control, and defeated Jerchon and his Veill Army.

After the defeat of Jerchon, however, Luke is almost lost control of this untamable power and, unintentionally, attempting hurting his friends until he finally regain control his power and suddenly the mountain was about to collapse, trapping inside. But luckily, Luke managed to use his magic of time save him and his friends and sealed themselves into a crystal to protect themselves from the collapsing.

 

Sealed themselves forever, the Dragonknights will be broke free in one year.

 

Dawn of the Dragonknight

The Dragonknights broke themselves free after a year but they were captured by Sirus' army of Draconians and brought to the chamber of retribution where they were about to be sacrificed to the Chaos Dragon God named Aklor but they were rescued by the Order of the Heavenly Dragon and escaped from the mountains.

 

After they've escaped from the Mountain of Sirus, the Dragonknights took refuge in the Valley of Eragon where they must defend their camps from Sirus' Draconian army which they did and managed to hold them off until friendly reinforcements have arrived.

Convinced to the High Elves, they were requested by them to find the missing High Elf captain that he did not returned to report and the Dragonknights saved him from the Draconians and demons. After a long quest of getting the High Elf captain to safety, the Dragonknights were granted to the Dragon City of Ignitus via the Unicorn Woods.

 

As they've arrived in the Dragon City of Ignitus, the Dragonknights found themselves in the middle of the Great Dragon Wars, a war between the alliance of Bahamut and the evil coalition forces of Tiamat.

The Siege of Ignitus has begun as they've rescued some allied soldiers from the burning barracks while fighting some Draconians and then defending the city walls from Sirus' army breaching it. After their defenses on the city wall, the Dragonknights quickly closed the main gate, pushing the evil forces out of the city which they did. However, they also have to defeat the war machine-like Golem that has breached through the defenses and rampaging into the city but these young brave Dragonknights managed to destroy the machine, effectively ending the siege.

After the siege is over, they were reunited with Master Sensei Long who was very relieved that they were alive and well.

 

At the night of the celebration of their victory, the Dragonknights earned their rests after a long journey back home and fighting monsters and told their journey of one year ago. As the celebration is nearly ended, they received the message from Sirus who told that he revived Tiamat's Destroyer and it's coming to destroy the city in a mere few hours.

With the message received with devastations, they must prepare for the worst but they have a plan to stop it as well the Dragonknights.

 

As they prepared for counterattack and marched through the Ruins of Ignitus, the Dragonknights opened the great dam because they've learned that the Destroyer will be prevented by water and managed to destroy Tiamat's Destroyer, sort of.

But despite their best efforts, the Dragonknights must go to Sirus' lair at Castle Malefor with their help of Master Sensei Long before it's too late.

 

In the burned land of Malefuros, the Dragonknights travelled to find a way to the surface from the scorched plain to the floating islands of unknown, where Castle Malefor is, without the help of their master after they were sent to the other side the burning walls of fire. Luke embraced himself for his destiny while his fellow Dragonknights follow his lead with courage and faith.

After they've fought their way to reach the surface and reached Castle Malefor at the floating islands, the Dragonknights confronted their nemesis for the first time ever. Before the battle begins, they manipulated but they were easily to break themselves free from his evil influences and the battle has began with their true form.

They've battled into the sky and then to his lair while falling down to earth and then they have unleashed their Aura as their battle against Sirus became much more intensify until Master Sensei Long reappeared and helped them as he gave their true power, a power came from Bahamut, and banished Sirus once and for all, ending the war effectively.

Although they've defeated Sirus, however, the Dragonknights must also restore balance of the world when the Destroyer reached the core of Antichthon by using Luke's all of his power which he did and they were transported to the Spirit Dragon Realm by his father and finally met his father in real for the first time and thanked him and his allies for freeing the spirits so they can go to the heaven where they can finally live in peace. Luke bid his farewell to his father but they will meet each other again, only time will tell.

 

With Antichthon is saved and peace and balance is restored, the Dragonknights returned to the living realm and returned to Ignitus where they've returned home to heroes' welcome. They were honored by the Order of the Heavenly Dragons' leader, Lord Bahamut himself, as they've became a team member of the group.

 

Their epic quest is over. But their adventures have begun.
