This is a story about a dragon that has been trapped inside an amulet for centuries. It lands in the hands of a young girl on her 18th birthday, a high school student in Kamino Beach, a suburb of Miami, Florida. I need one female to play this girl, and another female to play a character that is a little older, maybe late 20's. The second girl is my second character's partner. These two are Wardens of the Red Spire, and they act sort of like demon hunters/magickal police.
Basically, the gist of the story is that the dragon has been absorbing residual energy from the various bearers of the amulet over the years, and when the teenage girl gets it, the dormant magic in her blood empowers him enough to speak to her psychically, eventually forming a spiritual body that only she can see. At some point he is able to turn this into a real, physical body that can actually be felt and held.
Meanwhile, the two Wardens are investigating higher-than-normal energy readings in Kamino Beach, and they come to suspect the girl and her new "friend."
Lord Calsuphur, the Smoke King of Volsengard
Centuries ago, there was a powerful dragon named Calsuphur. Not only had he mastered a variety of elemental magicks, but he could cast incredible illusions through direct eye contact, shapeshift into any animal or humanoid, and use necromancy to reanimate the dead as his warriors or absorb the energy of the living. Through nearly seven hundred years of researching ancient libraries and studying forbidden crafts, Calsuphur became known as the Smoke King of Volsengard, which referred to the name of his island and his ability to teleport in a poof of smokey mist.
Various wizards, clerics, paladins, witches, faeries, dragons, and even vampires and werewolves of medieval Europe and Asia united together to stop the Smoke King's undead army, calling themselves the Wardens of the Red Spire or just Red Wardens for short. The Spire referenced a stone pillar covered in rubies, which was the sign of their order. There was one in their main headquarters in London standing about eight feet tall, placed in the dining room of the estate where the leaders of the order gathered for meetings. There were also smaller, three foot replicas that Wardens could put on a table to signify that as a temporary field headquarters, such as a private room in a tavern or a tent on the battlefield. Additionally, each Warden carried an amulet to mark their affiliation -- a bright red ruby in the shape of a three inch Spire, attached to a golden chain and worn around the neck and under the shirt or armor, only to be pulled out when necessary to confirm one's identity or communicate with other Wardens long distance through a mental link.
Calsuphur managed to kill the Warden High Commander, Vroderhael, and kept his Red Spire amulet as his most prized possession. He wore it on his neck for years, flaunting it as his greatest achievement.
The day came when the Wardens finally broke through the illusions and barriers hiding the island of Volsengard, and marched upon Blackmoor Keep. In the battle that followed, the Smoke King and his army slaughtered most of the Wardens, who were then reanimated to further add to his undead ranks. In the end, the Seven Sages of the Red Spire came together and cast one final spell, sacrificing their lives to rip Calsuphur's life force out of his body.
The surviving Wardens gave the fallen a proper burial, then recast the barriers over the island so that no one could ever find it again. Before leaving, Lord Anolsiel -- the oldest son of High Commander Vroderhael -- took back his father's amulet from the Smoke King's corpse. Unbeknownst to him, Calsuphur had bound part of his soul to the crystal as he died, in the hopes of one day returning to life.
The Red Wardens left the island behind and knowledge of its existence was deliberately withheld from future generations. The magickal peoples of the world -- or the Magi for short -- were much fewer after the War of the Smoke King, and in the centuries that followed they descended into myth and legend, operating in secret. Lord Anolsiel kept his father's amulet as a family heirloom, but over time it was lost and traded a number of times from various merchants and antique shops until the day it ended up in Kamino Beach, Florida.
