| - This became a problem for the Osira. Up until then, these humans had lived peacefully and free as tribal nomads. They had a unique relationship with dragons as they were able to communicate with and tame dragon-blood creatures. Methus despised the humans, and began killing any who wandered into his rapidly expanding territories. The Osira would not stand for this. They banded together with the remaining free dragons to stage an assault against Methus and his tyranny. Such an epic battle awoke the slumbering Guardian. Lysaia came to try to settle the dispute diplomatically, but was enraged by the flame dragon's arrogance. Lysaia, bound by his honor, refused to kill a fellow Dragon however, and Methus escaped. The Guardian Lysaia returned to his solitude, and Methus began amassing an even greater army. This army wreaked havoc upon the population, and any that opposed Methus and his army suffered heavy casualties. The battles tore apart the land of Auratia, changing its very form. Even this was not enough for the flame dragon, though. He wanted revenge against Lysaia. Having heard of ancient stories about a powerful black dragon, he went in search of Chaugnar. It is there that he found Kronos, who had spent the years imprisoned plotting his revenge. The black dragon falsely promised Methus ultimate power in exchange for his freedom. Methus believed him, and released the black dragon. After being freed from his prison, Kronos slayed Methus and all of the flame dragon's allies. He devoured their bodies and renewed his waning strength. But he was not yet fully recovered, and as his name suggested, The Devourer needed more dragons to feed upon.
