In the midst of this chaos rose a man whose name would echo through history: Rikuto Yoshida, a legendary figure whose legacy shaped the world, was known as a fierce warrior and the grandfather of Yukino. Possessing the Fivefold of Godai granted Rikuto immortality, allowing him to endure across the centuries. Rikuto was no ordinary warrior He was said to possess the Fivefold of Godai, a special Xyra that held all five great elements. Xyra—mystical energy that connected all living things—was more abundant in him than in any being to ever walk the earth. With unmatched strength and unparalleled mastery of the elements, Rikuto sought to bring peace.
But his solution came at a cost. Wielding a forbidden art known today as '5 elemental art obliteration' that came with possessing the Fivefold of Godai, Rikuto enacted a plan long thought to be a mere legend. He divided the world into five distinct nations, each aligned with one of the primordial elements: lightning, water, earth, wind, and fire. To ensure the balance and stability of this new order, he summoned five elemental dragons, each embodying the essence of their respective element. These mighty beings became the guardians of the newly formed nations. Rikuto entrusted his will to each dragon, imbuing them with a specific directive to safeguard their respective nations and uphold the elemental balance. Though autonomous in their actions, the dragons carried fragments of Rikuto's intent, acting as both guardians and enforcers of his vision for a divided yet stable world.
Rikuto's forbidden art shattered not only the land but also the bonds of unity that once held the people together. His decision to divide the world into elemental nations sowed seeds of division and mistrust, as each nation began to see itself as the rightful heir to the Fivefold Xyra's legacy. Old alliances fractured under the weight of new rivalries, and the dragons, while meant to maintain balance, became symbols of envy and fear. This fragmentation turned neighbors into adversaries and ensured that Rikuto's vision of peace would forever be marred by the shadow of conflict. The five nations emerged as isolated powers, each harboring resentment and mistrust for the others. The dragons, too, became symbols of power many through history have tried to tame the beast's but none have succeeded nor come back alive the 5 elemental dragons hold immense Xyra. Though Rikuto's immortality allowed him to endure, the immense strain of wielding the Fivefold of Godai forced him into obscurity. He vanished, his name becoming both a legend and a reminder of the sacrifices he made to shape the world Yukino would one day inherit. Though his legacy endured, it would later intertwine with his grandson Yukino, whose journey would rekindle the mysteries of the Fivefold and reshape the fractured world.
