At the age of 7 he was taken from his home after soldiers discovered a massive crime scene involving the death of his mother who was brutally murdered by an unknown killer and placed in the Nomis Royal Army under the current king: King Carlos Carlell. A year later he proved to be the most advanced soldier ever seen, he passed tests that most soldiers could not pass one time and was put in the High Honor Guard Training. many years later when he turn 16, he fought his first battle again the southern nation of H'vaokcla against separatists. At 18 he was captain of the Nomis Royal Army and passed the most impossible test ever given to a soldier of the Nomis Army: The Test of Shadow. The Test of Shadow is were you fight the inner most evil in your heart; most do not survive. Many days after he was promoted the Separatists attacked the capital and invaded the castle, Drakko arrived to warm the king only to have the Separatist Army arrive behind him making it look like he had betrayed the king. After the army was defeated the king charged Drakko with Betrayal of the King and was banished to the desert waste lands of the Ghara'Ghara Desert. As he traveled through the desert, he was picked up by natives that call themselves: The Rebels; after being treated for sever dehydration and heat stroke he awoke to a beautiful young girl about his age named: Raven standing over him. He greeted her and spoke to her, then her brother: Sepharaus the leader of The Rebels. Being insulted by Drakko looking at him, Sepharus threw a punch at Drakko causing him to bleed and left. Raven used an ancient technique of healing to heal Drakko's open wound. After many days that he stayed there, he went to bed one night only to wake in a strange place that looked exactly like the under ground rebel base; Meanwhile Raven searched for him but could not find him, only to discover that her borther put Drakko in the most dangerous place of all places: The chambers of Ed'mendor'. A place where you soul is at stake. Drakko traveled through the dark tunnel to come to a room just like the Great Hall but completely empty and full of strange patterns, a stick laid nearby where he stood. He picked it up and placed it where a symbol stood before him, a crystalline object shot out from the left wall and hit the stick, to get around without being shot he had to find a pattern; behind him an orange glow appeared along with a deep massive roaring sound. Many minutes later when Drakko was a quarter of the way through he stumbled and was about to crash to the ground when he was caught by something, Raven had come to rescue him from the chambers. Then smoke and flames gathered around the Great Hall forming what the Dracco Nomis call: A Bal'rog; a powerful demon that is inside the heart of a person that has seen death, evil, betrayal and corruption. As the ran from the Bal'rog, a pillar crashed infront of Raven injuring her, Drakko picked her put and slid her into a doorway where the Bal'rog could not touch her and stood courageously in front of the demon. As he stood there the Bal'rog shot massive flames burning his scales almost into charcoal, Drakko remembered back when he was younger when he was in the library he read a phrase from a holy book that could repel demons and evil spirits: ‘The Shadow of Flames & Demons shalt not take thee, but take darkness in thee, purifying ones soul while corrupting its own for mere pleasure of putting fear into thee, but thy noble warrior shall stand his ground & face the inevitable while others stand in fear of death. But this warrior must face the Bal’rog, son of Hades to a challenge of doom & thy condemned soul to what might be the end. I am a warrior & you shalt not pass through me!If I die, then I can be with my mother, take me if you wish, but you shall not have my soul or spirit, because I am stronger than you, you are weaker.' With that said the Bal'rog burst into light and disappeared, Raven crawled on the floor looking for Drakko finally she found him laying on the ground, it was then that they fell in love with each other and kissed for the first time. Many days later Drakko fully recovered from his burns, Sepharus stepped in front of Drakko and kneeled in front of him asking for forgiveness and holding his sword to him. Drakko took the sword and forgave him. Sepharus also in the highest respect asked if he would marry his sister; the very same day Raven and Drakko were married.
