Ward History
Chapter 3 - War of the Jungle
Many years after the Creator left Ward, the Dinosaurs ruled unopposed. The plants grew, herbivores ate the plants, the predators ate the herbivores, and died allowing the plants to feed off their corpse. During this time, there was evidence of very primitive humans that existed in small tribes. They kept to the caves and stayed away from the beasts that roamed the lands.
At this point in history, a new creature emerged. It is not fully known if these beasts were created, or evolved from the dinosaurs. All we know is prior to the dragons, Ward was a simple yet brutal, wild jungle world.
The first to emerge were the Red Dragons. These fearsome flying machines of destruction held the appearance of the carnivorous dinosaurs but sprout gigantic bat like scaly wings, and donned a similar appearance to a serpent. They could breathe fire hot enough to melt steel, and an intellect not yet witnessed. They were able to speak to each other in their own tongue and strategize attacks against the dinos.
For years a war laid siege to the planet. The dinosaurs were slowly becoming fewer and fewer. During the war, other dragon species began to emerge. Swamp Dragons, Blue Dragons, and even Dragons that were so intelligent, they developed psychic powers.
Even with the intellect of the dragons, there were several dino’s they had trouble contending with. The Tyrannosaurus Rex, seemed to not fear the dragons but instead, would catch ones that venture to close to the ground and feed on them like they were any other herbivore. The Raptor would move in large packs and ambush dragons that were sleeping or caught off guard. The Allosaurus devastated the Red Dragons with razor sharp teeth and claws.
Of all the dinosaurs, there was one that the dragons dare not engage, the Giganotosaurus (Giga). These creatures were taller than the trees in the forest, and stronger than a hurricane. He was not intelligent like a dragon, but an incredibly cunning predator. He was so large that he could catch dragons flying by at lower altitudes and kill them before they even knew he was there. His skin was tough enough to withstand even Red Dragon fire.
During this period, The Eternal Titan came to Ward while tracking the Cosmic Demon. During this time, he fought with the Giga and was physically over powered by the fearsome dino. He managed to subdue him long enough to retreat back into the cosmos. The dragon’s learned of this battle and began to devise a new plan.
The Dragon’s could not win a physical fight with the dinosaurs, so they used their intellect to destroy them. The dragons began killing all the herbivores and weaker dinos to the point of near extinction. They then avoided the predator dinos so they could not feed on themselves. This caused the dinosaur numbers to reduce to the point of near extinction. The dragons then began their reign as the apex of Ward. To this day, the dragons avoid certain dinosaurs.
