Long Clan’s Calendar, Year of the Soaring Abyss — First Cycle of the Eternal Scales.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV21QPx99m
This was 100,000 years after the birth of the first Golden Dragon and First Golden Phoenix.
On that fated night, under the cry of heaven’s thunder and the surge of earth’s veins, the Long Clan welcomed twins into the world. One bore the mark of the Golden Dragon, the guardian of the world, the blessed 101st since creation. The other bore the flame of the Celestial Dragon, a rarer existence than gold, born with a divine core in his head rather than dragon bones.
The clan matriarch Long Meiyun wept quietly as she held them both in her arms. “Why… why must fate deliver both hope and burden into our family once again?” She smiled through tears, torn between sorrow and pride, knowing her grandsons were destined for paths that could shake all under heaven.
Tavern Rumors
That same night, across the land, in the smoky glow of a common tavern, voices buzzed with awe and dread.
“Did you hear? The Long Clan bore twins… a Golden Dragon and a Celestial Dragon!” one man exclaimed, slamming his cup.
“Impossible! Golden Dragon is already rare beyond thought. A Celestial Dragon too? You jest.”
“It’s true. Golden Dragon — bones on the back, strong enough to carry the heavens. Celestial Dragon — no bones, but a divine core in the skull itself. They say its power is unrivaled.”
A woman whispered anxiously, “But… wasn’t the First Golden Dragon already lost to history? Not just him. I heard all 100 Golden Dragons vanished without a trace. If this boy is the 101st… what fate awaits him?”
Silence fell. Cups clinked. Only sighs remained.
The waiter leaned closer, voice low.
“Mark my words — Celestial Dragons are rarer still. Do you recall? The First Golden Dragon’s brother was a Celestial Dragon. And his daughter too — also Celestial. Yet… all three disappeared on the very same day after the Tianlong Sect was founded.”
Another man shivered, glancing at the door before speaking in a hush:
“Aye… and some say the Heiwu Sect was founded by that very brother, the Celestial Dragon casted First Golden Dragon out of the clan. He too vanished that day. Perhaps the world itself wished them gone.”
The tavern fell to a murmur of uneasy silence.
At dawn, the Dragon Omen carved itself into the heavens — a colossal golden dragon coiling with a second, shimmering like starlight.
The Golden Dragon child was named Long Jianxu — “Sword Rising at Dawn,” to carve a path through the darkness as the 101st guardian. His courtesy name was Longyu — “Dragon Feather,” symbolizing both fragility and divine grace.
The Celestial Dragon child was named Long Tianyao — “Heaven’s Radiant Glory,” destined to illuminate all he touched. His courtesy name was Zhaoyang — “Morning Sun,” the light that banishes the shadows of night.
