Plot

Here's how it is: This fantasy world once was invaded by a Plague of Dragons. Then, for reasons no one remembers, the Plague suddenly stopped. Many years later, in the present time, the Plague has returned, with dragons attacking all over the world. The heroes set off to search for an answer to save the world from iminint fiery destruction.
The story follows Cougar as he follows Lisi around looking for clues. An ancient book says that 'techines', ancient mechanical monstrosities created by a long-dead race, were vital in the battle against the previous Plague. So they head off to the Forbidden Wastes, to the ruined city of Tlanta, to find some Techines. Later they learn that the deciding factor in the previous war was the Angel of Death, and that the Feomir, a species of reclusive felinoids, hold the key to the Angel.
I originally designed this to be a video game, but since I don't know how to make video games, it's been converted to story format.
