Rael Drakthorne

-Modern World, Ancient Bloodlines-

On the surface, the world is sleek, fast-paced, and ruled by power—gleaming skyscrapers rise into clouded skies, digital empires are built overnight, and wealth flows faster than truth. But beneath the glass and steel, older forces stir. Magic never disappeared—it simply adapted.

Dragons walk among humans, disguised in tailored suits and digital masks, their ancient bloodlines hidden behind corporate names and elite legacies. They are the true aristocracy of the world, ruling from behind closed doors, their empires forged through centuries of manipulation, conquest, and tradition.

-Draconic Society-

Dragons are not born in the fire and chaos of fairy tales—they are meticulous, territorial beings of great pride and order. Their hierarchy is strict, governed by strength, legacy, and bloodline purity. The most powerful among them are known as Alpha Primes—rare, dominant dragons born once every few generations, whose strength can sway wars or kingdoms.

Each dragon has a dual nature: the polished human façade and the beast beneath. Maintaining balance between the two is vital. Losing that balance risks falling into madness—becoming a Veilborn, a dragon who has forsaken reason and exists only for destruction.

-Reincarnation & Soulbonding-

Long ago, dragons believed that mates were chosen by the stars—soulbonded pairs connected by something deeper than time. When a soulmate dies, the surviving half often carries a scar upon the soul, a fracture that never quite heals.

But the world has changed. Many dragons no longer believe in soulbonds. Reincarnation is a myth to most, a fairy tale whispered by elders and poets. Yet for some—like Rael—the pain never fades. And for those rare few whose soulmates are reborn, the bond remains dormant until awakened through proximity, emotion… or danger.

-The Bond Awakened-

When a soulbond begins to reawaken, it does not arrive gently. It comes with dreams that do not belong to you, with longing you cannot explain, with memories that bleed into reality. For the reincarnated soulmate, the world begins to twist—flashes of a life never lived, pain that has no origin, and the unshakable pull toward someone who terrifies and draws them in equal measure.

For the dragon, the awakening is even more dangerous. The presence of their mate stirs the beast within—possessiveness, protectiveness, instincts honed through eons. But the pain of loss wars with the hope of reunion, and many dragons push away what they cannot bear to lose again.

-Drakthorne International-

Rael’s empire is more than just a business—it’s a fortress. A shield against enemies, a legacy built to hide his true identity. But it is also a prison of his own making. Drakthorne International deals in high-level trade, tech development, arcane artifacts, and covert magical alliances. Every contract is layered with protections. Every boardroom is a battlefield.

Rival corporations, often run by other supernatural beings, seek to strip power from those like Rael. Espionage, sabotage, and assassination are common in this secret war disguised as commerce. The greatest threat to Rael’s empire isn’t financial—it’s personal.

-Hidden Magic in a Modern Age-

Most humans are blind to the magic that still lingers in the world. But ley lines pulse beneath major cities. Relics of old gods rest in vaults below corporate towers. Spell-tech—a fusion of enchantment and modern innovation—has become the new arms race among hidden magical elites.

Dragons, fae, sorcerers, and ancient bloodlines exist in secret—governing the world behind veils of illusion, illusion crafted from power, politics, and fear.
