Synopsis
"Forced to spend the same 365 days over and over. They expect me to save my town in so little time? Well at least I have a small gift, if it's a blessing or curse? Well... I don't really know myself, but at least time is on my side. 'If you can't have something, make it' that's what I say. And what I don't have is information, but I know just where to get it"

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: The Dream?

Jonas opens his eyes to a blurry crimson landscape, the smell of burnt grass filling his lungs as the heat starts to make him sweat. He wipes his eyes slowly and his vision clears, he finds himself in a wasteland of Alexandria, he confusedly ponders how or what is happening, but his concentration is interrupted by a mild rumbling. He turns behind him to find a massive dark red silhouette, and not long after he glaces at it, he is engulfed in bright flames making the adrenaline rush through his body, before he even gets to scream out in agony, everything fades to black.

Soon his eyes open, he thought to himself 'what a peculiar nightmare'. He sighs as he looks around his modestly sized room. He went to his wardrobe to change into his uniform and went on his way to school. He wanders around the noisy and crowded streets, chatter filling the air. Soon he arrives at his destination, the arcane academy, he walks to the guards with his identification, he assumes nothing is wrong and walks to his usual classroom, as soon as he opens the classroom door the professor turns to him with confusion. Jonas quickly shuts the door before anything happened and calmly looks over his identification. It turns out he is one year in the past. He wanders his way into his old classroom and sits in his old chair 'I remember this thing' he thought to himself as he made himself comfortable. 'Maybe this isn't too bad' he thought to himself as he pulls out his notebook, though not to study, but to draw.

He lived a particularly normal life before a year later. He finds himself in a familiar landscape. 'Not again' he thought to himself as the same thing happens again, soon he wakes up again. He pondered to himself 'Why is all this happening' sitting on his bed with only the sound of candle flame to keep him company in this silent room. He picked himself up off his bed, changing into more dull colored clothing before heading to the library.

He looked around before spotting the librarian, a slightly short young lady in a light magenta uniform with flowing black hair and glasses to cover her brown eyes, she was energetic in greeting the patrons at the counter, Jonas approached her and silently whispered "Do you know what I can find about dragons". The woman nods before pulling out a book from under the counter flipping the pages quickly and soon she finds the page she was looking for. "The Draconian Dictionary is in aisle number 6" she said. Jonas nodded at her subtly and went to aisle 6 in order to find the book.

He manages to find it at the very top section of the bookshelf but it is barely out of reach, he hastily looks about for a ladder or a platform he could stand on. He finds a ladder and makes his way upwards and manages to get a hold of it, but soon he falls to the floor, though he had no injuries it still felt painful, he stumbles his way to a table before sitting to read his book in silence.

He starts at the table of contents skimming over the sections before arriving at the fire dragons, he turns to the appropriate page and looks for a dragon with any matching information. Three dragons seem to fit what he's trying to find.

First Elder dragon Vitaculo, Crimson Phoenix, a long dead fire dragon worshiped by a large cult hidden somewhere in the country, they are called the crimson cult and have a crimson phoenix as their banner. It is suspected that the cult is trying to resurrect him, he has a tall stature and crimson scales along with 4 wings and 2 limbs.

Secondly Adult dragon Furrama, Flame Stealer, a dragon that has bested many heroes that have tried to steal his large stash, he commonly claims small territories and tolls the travelers for gold, relatively peaceful, but deadly when he wills it, he is not exclusively flame but also has divine connections possibly having angered the gods by stealing this power, he has 2 wings that replace his front legs and 2 back legs.

Lastly Elder dragon Ignittor, Fire of Four Gods, the dragon that breathes flames so hot that it could evaporate the water in almost an instant, it hibernates in an unknown area, he might become a threat ones it wakes up, he has a myth where he was bound to a powerful mage sealing it in it's hibernation place, he has 2 wings and 4 limbs.

Each has an interesting mythology in the library be Jonas thinks he should waste any more time here. 'I only need to find which one has caused all of this. And how they correlate to him coming back. But I can't exactly remember the dragon's physique, this makes it much easier' he thought to himself. He walks back to return the book to it's original place and heads back out.

As he walks again through the busy streets he tries to figure out their connection to his 'reincarnation' of sorts. Vitaculo's cult uses a phoenix for a reason, a symbol of rebirth or return, perhaps a bit of that magic went wild and somehow reached me. Furrama has a background with angering the gods, so perhaps they chose one at random to defeat him. And then theres Ignittor, perhaps his binding also bound me to my body somehow. He has no time before he arrives where needed to be, the trade district.
