Aurora, the ancient Golden Dragon Queen and divine healer, once sacrificed her heartblood to save Flame Dragon Lord Rowan on the Abyssal Battlefield. Hiding her identity, she married him out of love, only for Rowan to mistake Isla, a venomous swamp drake, for his savior. Claiming his dragon core was weak, Rowan manipulated Aurora into spending her life-breath incubating his egg while secretly sleeping with Isla and forging a blood pact with her. After discovering their affair and realizing during Zoe’s illness that she had only been used as an incubator, Aurora severed every bond and returned to Vale’s Supreme Court.
At the Dragon God Festival, Aurora revealed her colossal golden dragon form and crushed Rowan and Isla beneath the pressure of her royal bloodline, exposing Isla’s stolen claim. Without Aurora’s protection, Rowan’s territory collapsed into bankruptcy. Isla stole Zoe’s healing elixir, causing the child’s death, then died from magical backlash while giving birth to a deformed drake.
Desperate to win Aurora back, Rowan sought a loan from the Abyss Lord, only to witness her dancing with Leo, the ancient Silver Dragon Emperor, beneath a sea of starflowers. Aurora tore their contract apart and ended his delusions. In the Dragon God Temple, she and Leo forged the supreme blood pact before soaring into the heavens together. Rowan, meanwhile, was mutilated by abyssal enforcers, losing both wings and one eye, and condemned to wander the darkness forever.
