The fairy realm hierarchy didn't end with Queen Amaryllis. Long ago before the age of Kishur, there existed The Elemental Phoenixes, they were the guardians of all the realms in Yggdrasil. Their power was too great to be channeled and be stable on Earth and hence the responsibility of being Earth's guardians was bestowed upon the Fairies & Dragons. They hadn't intervened in humanity's affairs since before the age of Kishur.

With the increased frequency of beasts sightings, more and more Chaos energy was leaking into the Earthly realm causing disarray. Same was noticed by the border family heads, Queen Lilly, and Fairy Queen Amaryllis.

It started out as an anuual meeting of family heads to discuss security measures. Lately they had been meeting every month due to the exponential increase in organized chaos beasts sightings, they were almost strategic as if to find the weak points in our defences. Their movements were too intelligent, like there was a general in the background calling the shots. This had never happened before, these beasts were called Chaos beasts primarily due to their chaotic nature, any attempt at controlling them resulted in failure. Hence the only option was to eliminate them.

The border was in much more disarray than any of them would care to admit. With the current number of soldiers & dragon riders barely enough to keep these monsters at bay. Like a balloon that was stretched out to it's limit, one prick was all it needed to cause the entire border to burst and collapse. What's worse was that these horde of beasts seemed to be increasing over time, gradually chipping away at the strength of the border security force.

The family heads knew that without significant effort the border would break down soon, then nothing would stop these beasts from entering the city limits. This was another reason why Jorfith's mother stepped down as the queen's guard - she wanted to be near the border in case something went awry since only the Fairy Queen Amaryllis could use teleportation spells.

"We can't just keep sending more soldiers to the borders, only the Dragon riders can effectively take on the beasts, the rest either end up gravely wounded or dead." spoke Colborn Fraener the family head of the Southern border standing up and firmly banging his hands on the round table. Joining him were Alexander Cadmus Jorfith's father, Gromei Tatsuya of the Eastern border, and Edward Knucker of the Western border. They all looked at each other knowing what Colborn said was true.

Though the Tatsuya clan was better at infantry combat with their swordsmen, they couldn't maintain a lead in an extended fight, since the Chaos beasts didn't get tired or hungry or feel pain. The Knucker clan were adept at long range combat, but they couldn't cover the vastness of the Western border. The Cadmus clan had the most dragon riders, but even they couldn't be deployed everywhere.

"Queen Lilly can't keep intervening with Fairy Ohr everytime, even with her teleportation powers there's only so many places she can provide support, it's not a long term solution. The Chaos beasts keep regenerating at an alarming rate every fortnight, like it's following the moon's cycle." said Alexander as he was reading from last month's damage report from the border patrol. "There's been a 15% increase in their regeneration rate and 8% increase in their spawning rate. If this goes on, we cannot sustain the defence line for more than 2 months. We need an alternative solution." They all agreed, but we're clueless on how to resolve this issue. Their members were already stretched thin as it is, even help from the Wolf, Kraken, and Tiger clans could only buy them 2 months at best. Contemplating what to do next, "Say Alexander, isn't tonight your son's initiation? What was his name again? " asked Edward. "Ah yes of course...! It's Jorfith. He's my youngest, He's a kind soul unlike his siblings, never hurt a fly. He can handle himself in a swordfight and has good reflexes, but he's how do I put it, weak.!! He prefers to be non-violent and hasn't developed his strength like his older siblings. I wonder if he'll ever get strong enough to ride a Dragon.. God knows we can use another dragon rider. I can't leave my post at the border tonight so won't be there to witness his Kishur ceremony, hope it goes well" All nodded in agreement.

Back in the Altar room, the aura emanating from both Jorfith and Aurora was so dense it was now getting difficult to breathe. Fairy Queen Amaryllis however, didn't seem to have any problems and neither did Jorfith. "Thank you for heeding my plea Aurora Seraphina Cyra, we are in need of your guidance in these chaotic times. What i feared has come to pass, we're seeing early signs of the Chaos Master's emergence." said Amaryllis, "Please call me Aurora my sweet Amaryllis, oh my how you've grown." Amaryllis's eyes now widened, cheeks flushed red, gave out a smile like when a parent praised her child.

"Now then, it took 4 generations of Dragonborn for a single individual to finally be strong enough to awaken, he is quite cute though isn't he?" Jorfith was looking at his reflection in a small puddle of the lake's leftover waters. He couldn't recognise himself. His hair and eyes had changed, his body felt lighter and full of energy. Now, Alexander's standards of comparing strength weren't normal, so when Alexander talked about weakness he was comparing Jorfith to himself and his 3 eldest sons. Jorfith was still stronger than most of his siblings, just that he never really showed off his strength.

"Dragonborn? Awaken? Just what is she talking about? And what is with this atmosphere, why can't I move? It's like trying to move inside a sea of dense jelly." Jorfith's mother thought to herself. She had never read about any of this in her lifetime or heard any stories about it from her ancestors. Her bewilderment was shared across everyone's faces present in the Altar room.

"Listen to me Dragonborns and their familiars." spoke Fairy Queen Amaryllis, "You stand in the presence of royalty. It is my honour to announce the arrival of The Primordial Guardian of Yggdrasil - Aurora Seraphina Cyra" "Jorfith?" called Aurora. Jorfith now looked up at the huge looming figure, she was bigger than father's Dragon Valyryon who was the largest one in the family. Her wings seemed to cover the entire sky, her presence was so calming and majestic. Jorfith was happy, happy that he got a familiar and couldn't help but smile "Thank you for choosing me.." he said. "Thank you for being strong enough to awaken so i could materialize in this realm, together we'll take down the Chaos plaguing this land, our bond shall be the strongest. You will inherit all my powers, unlike the Kishur - our souls have now bonded. My powers of elemental threads, mana manipulation, and thought control will now manifest within you, you will lead humanity to enlightenment"

And so, the saga of Jorfith the awakened and Aurora Seraphina Cyra the immortal primordial phoenix began...
