Prologue

Luffy

Age: 7

"Luffy?" His mother called through the thicket of trees and bushes, causing the crickets who'd been chirping happily to quiet. He looked up from the fire in front of him, and smiled widely when he mom emerged from behind one of bushes. "The nights are growing colder; I was surprised to find your room empty." His mother sighed, walking closer to the fire and rubbing her arms.

"I suspect Gaia started this fire for you." His mother spoke again, her gaze drifting searching through the darkness. "She did." He huffed proudly, enjoying the quiet purr that drifted from the trees behind him. His mother's gaze zoned in on the sound, and she smiled fondly, into the darkness.

A sudden wind caused his mom to rub her arms with vigor, not accustomed to being outside during the night. "You can go back to the castle; you know Gaia will watch over me, I think Metis is around too." A soft chirp from further away affirmed his thoughts, and he scowled, Sabo was always sending Metis to watch him.

"I only wanted to tell you goodnight, I trust Gaia and Metis," His mother paused, "And Caerus, if you are around." She called into the night, letting out a soft chuckle when an annoyed growl filled the air. "Go back to Ace." He muttered, quietly, before running around the fire and into his mother's arms.

"Before you go can you tell me a story?" He asked, bouncing excitingly. "Which one?" She asked, picking him and settling them down on the turned up dirt he called his bed. The dirt sunk in as they sat, better than any pillows he'd ever laid on. He blinked fondly into the rustling trees; remembering the sight of Gaia clawing at the earth to make him the bed of dirt.

"Dragons! Tell me a story about the dragons!" He decided, his excitement taking over and causing him to start to bounce again. It was the only story he never tired of, the story of the dragons who roamed these lands. "Okay, okay." His mother raised her hand to her lips, causing him to quiet and settle down.

"Can you tell me the name of the mother of the dragons?" His mother questioned, repositioning them so that he was lying comfortingly next to her, looking up at the stars. "Amphiptere." He answered immediately. "Yes, Amphiptere, this country was named after her, did you know that?" His mother questioned again and he grunted, not caring about the countries name.

"It's important to know what country you may rule over one day." His mother scolded, but moved on quickly. "Amphiptere was feared and respected by all beings alike; she carved out this very land just for her children." His mother's voice filled the clearing that seemed to still as they talked, even the wind seemed to halt.

He stared at the stars in wonder, imagining the she-dragon building the country they lived in. "Is she Gaia's mom like you are mine?" He asked, causing the ground to tremble, and a large scaled head to drop beside him. He reached out, rubbing Gaia's snout affectionately. Hot air blew on his hand from her nostrils, and he ran his hand up higher to avoid being burned. "No, not like you and I are." His mother responded, and he frowned. "But you said Amphiptere is the mother of all dragons." He argued.

"She is, in a sense. She did not birth every dragon, she died soon after she created our land but she did create each race of dragon that is in our country. If not for Amphiptere, Gaia would not be here, dragons would be nothing more than a myth." His mother reached over him as she spoke, to tentatively run a single finger across Gaia's golden cheek.

Gaia shook the finger off, letting out a low grumble, and his mother turned away to look up at the stars. "Amphiptere blessed her children with free will and the sight to see the beings worthy of them. A dragon will only attach itself to one rider, if any, you and your brothers are lucky to have been accepted by such magnificent creatures." His mother smiled, almost sadly into the sky.

He wasn't sure if Ace was so lucky, to have been chosen by Caerus seemed more of a curse to him. His brothers black dragon was unruly, and aggressive. Ace had complained more than once about Caerus throwing him off during a flight, and he rubbing Gaia gratefully, he knew she'd never throw him.

Metis, Sabo's green and yellow dragon on the other hand was quiet and reserved unlike Gaia who enjoyed following his whims. His thoughts were cut off when his mother started to talk once again, "She gifted her children with the beauty of the finest diamond, and the strength to live thousands of lives." He nodded in agreement, every dragon he'd seen, took his breath away.

"She engraved the wisdom to seek the mastery she bestowed upon each race in her children." Gaia shuffled under his hand as his mother spoke, and he tilted his head in confusion. "Mastery?" He asked, and his mother turned to smile softly at him. "Not every dragon can breathe fire like the ones that live in our kingdom."

Before he could respond, his mother continued, "Amphiptere's final offering to her children was one of her own, the allowance to roam the skies." His eyes drifted toward Gaia's wings, he'd never forget the first time she had allowed him to climb onto her back, and even if she only lifted herself a few feet from the ground he'd never forget the feeling. He couldn't wait for the day he was old enough to ride her, hundreds of feet above the earth.

"That is enough for now, it's getting late." His mother sighed, bending down to kiss his forehead. "Sleep well, my son."

Age: 12

"You're an omega." His mother spoke firmly, holding on to his shoulders to keep his attention. Gaia flew above them, bumping into Caerus who had Ace planted firmly on his back. He itched to get back into the sky but his mother had called him down, and he shook his head to focus on her words.

"Omega?" He asked, not sure what she was trying to tell him. "Sweetie, remember the talk we had about every person having a second identity?" She asked, and he thought back to the conversation they'd had a few months back. "Um, the story about a second person inside of us?" He asked back to make sure he was remember the correct conversation.

His attention got off track as Ace started yelling and he looked up to see his brother holding firmly onto Caerus's leg. He giggled at the sight. "Luffy look at me," His mom snapped, and he looked back down wondering what had her so on edge. "These identities are a part of us and there is no need to be scared." His mother's hands fretted over his face, rubbing away the dirt on his cheeks.

Her anxious behavior was started to affect him and he shuffled in worry, "What is an omega? Is it bad?" He asked. Was he going to be taken away from his family for being an omega? Certainly his dad wouldn't allow it; they were the head of the country, the strongest kingdom. Who would have the power to take him?

"It is not bad," His mom paused, looking away from his eyes, "It means you will be able to have babies, just like me. You are an omega like me, will have babies just like your mom." She smiled encouragingly at him after saying this, and he frowned in disgust. He didn't want to have babies.

"Ew, I don't want babies. Make Ace or Sabo have the babies." He grumbled, crossing his arms. "It isn't like you will be having babies anytime soon," His mother sighed, "And your brothers can not have babies, they are alphas like your father." She finished, a flash of guilt crossed her face.

A nauseating feeling filled his stomach, as his mom looked away from him guiltily. "Does this mean I can't be king?" He asked, already knowing the answer. "No, you'll be a queen like mommy. One day you will be married to a prince and help him rule." She rubbed her hand over his cheek, and he shook it off angrily.

"That isn't fair!" He yelled, tears filled his eyes and pooled over. A loud thud and the rush of wind behind him told him Gaia had come down to see what was wrong. "Luffy this isn't something you can choose, but it isn't a bad thing, don't feel ashamed of this gift, our kind is a rarity." His mother's hand was running over his face again, trying to comfort him.

"I don't want to be an omega!" He continued crying; only crying harder when Gaia chirped in distress from behind him. "Everything will be okay, I promise." He mother cooed. This wasn't far, why did his brothers get to be alphas and he didn't? Why couldn't he be king? He didn't want to have babies for anybody.

"Let's go inside, we don't have to discuss any more of this now." He mother spoke, trying to usher him into the castle. "No I want to go to my room." He hiccupped and pulled away, wanting to head into the forest and lay with Gaia on his bed of dirt. "That is not possible; you have to sleep inside the castle from now on." He mother spoke, her voice hardening.

"No! I want to sleep with Gaia!" He yelled, turning to run into the forest. His mother's hand grabbed his wrist firmly, "It is too dangerous, and this is none negotiable." He tried to pull his wrist away from her, growing even more upset. "But Ace gets to sleep outside with Caerus!" He yanked his wrist harder; Gaia growled behind him causing his mother's hold to loosen but only by a small amount. "Luffy, we are done with this discussion. Get inside and wash up for dinner." She kept her eyes on Gaia, but with the tone of voice she used he knew he was defeated. Wiping away his tears, he walked back to the castle in silence.

Age 15

He stared down at the book in his hand, eyeing the displeasing paragraph he'd been reading. "Why is it that when I turn eighteen, I'll have to go through a heat every month for three to four days but you alphas only have a five day rut once a year." He complained, throwing the book to Ace who caught it with ease.

"You'll live. Ruts are worse than heats, stop complaining." Ace smirked, throwing the book to Sabo. "What would you know about ruts? You've never had one." He snapped at Ace who had just turned eighteen. "And you've never had a heat." Ace retorted.

"They are equally taxing," Sabo cut in, and he sunk lower into the chair because Sabo was nineteen and he could still remember Sabo's first rut the year prior it'd been a hard week, watching his usually calm brother turn into a stranger and eventually be locked in the dungeon, "It's just the way things are." Sabo finished, placing the book on the table in front of them.

"Boys, focus!" Their father snapped, causing all three of them to look up at their scowling father who had just entered the room. They'd been called here to study, and had taken advantage of their father's absence to goof around instead. "If you are to be kings," His father paused, glancing at him and he snorted loudly. He'd never be a king.

His father sighed, and continued, "You are to learn every Kingdom, type of dragon, and neighboring country." All three of them nodded reluctantly and he turned to Ace first. "Ace tell me about the Sun Kingdom." His father demanded, causing Ace to groan.

"It's located in fish whatever country, King Tiger dude, Princess blue eyes." Ace rolled his eyes as their father cut him off. "This is serious, stop fooling around." Their father snapped. "Why do we need to discuss them? The war is over and the alliance has been made." He butted in, causing his dad's eyes to narrow.

"A war that your brother almost died in." His father reminded coldly. He glanced guiltily at Sabo's heavily scarred face, a result from the last battle between the two countries. The alliance had only recently been made when Sabo agreed to marry the princess and tie the two countries.

Sabo's eyes grew as the attention turned to him, and he waved his hand as if to dismiss the tension in the room. "Ace, I knew you were dimwitted but had your memory grown so faint that you can't remember the name of my future bride?" Sabo joked, causing Ace's face to redden. "I know her name, that Panda girl." Ace grumbled.

"You mean Koala." He corrected, and Ace stood angrily, "That's what I said!" He rolled his eyes at Ace's outburst and held back a chuckle at his father's disgruntled expression. "Sabo tell me about the country of Flevance." His dad moved on, apparently giving up on Ace.

"You always give me the hard ones." Sabo complained lightly while rubbing the back of his head. "You are the heir to our Kingdom and this country, start acting like it." Sabo straightened up at their father's statement. "Flevance," Sabo pondered, " The country of sand, Royal family was assassinated eight years ago, well, most of the family, the seven year old prince remained who is being raised by the kings guard until he reaches the age of eighteen and takes the throne." Sabo huffed out, seeming proud of his knowledge.

"What is the name of the heir?" Their father asked, causing Sabo to blink uncertainly. "Uh." Sabo mumbled. "Who cares about that dragon less country; we haven't had contact with them since the royal families' murder." Ace cut in, causing their father to sigh and rub his forehead.

"This is going nowhere; tell me you boys can at least name the Kingdoms within our own country." His father grumbled, and he saw his chance to prove himself. "Goa Kingdom," He shouted out, cutting off both of his brothers, "King: Dragon. Queen: Rouge. Three sons: two alphas, one omega. Heir: Prince Sabo. Home of the fire breathing dragons. Rulers of the Amphiptere country." He listed their kingdom quickly before moving on.

"The second in power is the Archipelago Kingdom. King: Shanks. Queen: Makino. One heir: Prince Kid. Home of the stone dragons." He took a breath, "Third in power is the Amazon Lilly Kingdom. No kings," He smiled smugly, and continued. "Ruled by alpha Boa Hancock along with her two sisters, Alpha Nico Robin and Beta Nami. Home of the venomous dragons." He shivered at the thought of the deadly dragons, and moved on.

"Fourth in power is the Alabasta Kingdom. King: Nefeltari Cobra. No Queen. Heir dumbass, due to no alpha children born. Home of the wind dragons." He smirked, watching Ace tense. "Good luck marrying princess Vivi." He held back a chuckle as Ace stood angrily, he knew his brother didn't want to marry into the Alabasta Kingdom, and was being forced to do so by their father. Ace only had a couple of years left before he'd be escorted to the far Kingdom and groomed to marry the omega princess. At least his brother would still be a king, he thought coldly.

"Fuck that shit!" Ace yelled, slamming his fist on the table. Caerus who must have been listening for Ace roared loudly, causing the room to tremble slightly. His chest ached at the dragon's roar, and he placed a hand over the scar on his chest. He'd learned his lesson about messing with Caerus.

The room went silent, and he swallowed before speaking about the last kingdom. "Last but not least, fifth in power; the Germa Kingdom or as I like to call it, the kingdom of alphas. King: Vinsmoke Judge. No Queen. Four alpha children, all fighting for the throne. One omega son. Home of the water dragons." He looked over at his dad whose face was guarded.

"Did I miss anything?" He asked. "Don't get cocky; it's common sense to know who we rule over." Ace growled, still angry from being reminded he was to marry. He ignored his fuming brother, and instead looked at Sabo who was smiling at him encouragingly.

Too bad his knowledge would never be needed, he was destined to be shipped off at the age of eighteen, and sit in a castle popping out children for whichever alpha his father deemed worthy. The thought sickened him.

Thanks for reading!
