Evo Dragons are great. They are reallys easy to maintain unlike a merc. who whenever he/she dies he/she loses stats.. A dragon can get powerful more powerful than a Ancient Dragon. Every 1 dragons dust you give an evo dragon, he will gain 4 KP (kill points) which he ALSO gets for killing creatures.. KP determines what stage (level) he is. These all have 7 stages. -First level you get when unshrunk (obviously) -Stage 2 = You need 25k KP -Stage 3 = You need 75k KP -Stage 4 = You need 175k KP -Stage 5 = You need 3.750 million (3,750,000) KP -Stage 6 = You need 7.750 million (7,750,000) KP -Stage 7 = You need 15 million (15,000,000) KP

Makes lots of sense Jaz... um... just isn't what he asked for hehe, we need a story for the Evo Dragon, something that explains where it came from. If you check the new Mercenary page in the Compendium which is being updated quite a lot in the next few weeks or so, you'll see a short story that tells the story behind how the Mercenary contracts were discovered.
So what we need now is a story that tells how the Evo Dragons were discovered or came about. That make sense? I'm pretty sick here so hope I didn't type it all messed up lol.

It all started at brit, several ages ago. Lord blackthorn discovered jet another plan to take over the power of lord british. He ordered his minions to create several reptile creatures and train and crossbreed them. The orcish horde trained them their smashing and bashing, the juka mages showed them how to use magery. so they went by all the creatures that live in brittain. after they gained enough information about fighting they started the project to create the strongest and toughest dragon in the world...
The strongest dragons of brittain were used to create these fearsome beasts, trained by the well known dragon slayers tyhe beasts started to gain more power each and every day. seeming to evolve in an even greater state than they were before. The dragon slayers did a good job on this, tough blackthorn knew the dragons had to be stronger to destroy all the guards in brit...
Blackthorn ordered all his alchemists, mages and assasins to teach the dragons special moves. he started with the magery, the powers of the circles got into the dragons and they started to cast spells on their victims to weaken, slow down or even kill them. than the assasins learned the dragons about the power opf their venom, and howto use this. and finaly the alchemists made potions to give them even more power than they already had. Tough too much power isn't always good.
The dragon slayers couldn't keep the evolution dragons under controll. while they were so powerfull. all the dragonslayers runned away, running for these fearsome creatures. Now they wander the lands, affraid to get killed by the so called: "evolution dragon". In a sence of fear they attack everything near them, even when you dont mention to harm them...
Blackthorn knew the evolution dragons would mean the end for all of the world, not only lord brittish. At a last attempt of stopping the evolution dragons lord blackthorn called all his minions to a last batle against these beasts. the batle contineued for days, but at the end, the minions of blackthorn slayed them all. and the remaining eggs were captured, and weakend to a normal breed. This is the evultion dragon as we know it these days. The dragons now are still strong, but wont be able to bring the earth in danger like they used to.
The eggs were given to the former dragon slayers. In an attemt to regain an attack on lord brittish. tough the dragon slayers refused, affraid that it again would go wrong. instead of training they kept the eggs on them. giving only a small change to drop. they swore to pretect the eggs with thier life's and those of the dragons used to create the race of evolution dragons...

"Tonight we dawn our armour, sharpen our blades, and dust of our spell books. This Dragon has been terrorizing this kingdom for long enough!" - screams the king on his throne. His audience of warriors cheered. "No longer will we live in fear, no longer will we starve. For you, the strongest and fiercest warriors, will take up arms and rid this land of the foul Guardian Dragon!"
"Quit writing boy! You heard the king, gather my things" "Yes sir."
We marched up the mountain. The air was still, the night was quiet. The men knew most of them wouldn't return. As we neared the top there was a massive explosion. A fireball rose from the path ahead of us, the sky itself seemed to be on fire. It has begun. I handed my father his sword and I hid.
Already there were bodies strewn about. All I could hear was the screams of men and the chanting of spells. They fought valiantly. It was a bloody battle, but in the end the mighty dragon fell. I raced out to find my father.
"Father! Where are you father?" "Cough, Son" His voice was feint. He was struggling to call to me. Finally I found him behind the dragon, clinging to life. "Son. You are safe. Take care of your mother."
He passed soon after. He had delivered the deathblow to the beast. But his wounds were mortal. In His clutches he held an egg. It was a soft white glowing egg. It was warm, it began to shake. It was hatching! Out of the egg slithered a snake. I was afraid, but it clung to my leg, huddling for warmth.
"Kill it!" "Yes Kill it, we will end this beast's line once and for all." "No! Look at it, it's harmless. I will raise it. I will keep it" "But this will grow into a beast as foul as the one we have slain tonight."
A voice speaks up from the back of the small crowd of survivors, "But what if we could command such a beast! The boy will keep it."
It began killing rodents on the farm for us. But as time went on it grew bigger. The more it killed, the bigger it grew. No beast ever threatened our kingdom again. We travelled the land in search of foes worthy of my might "Evolution Dragon." We vanquished many evils, and found many treasures. But most of all, this friendship lasted a lifetime.

As Lacy pulled up to the front door, Bell could already see that Lacy had a big grin on her face. Whats up, Bell asked. Lacy got off her horse and pulled out this big white egg from her pack. As Bell looked at it, the egg started to move. Where are the cookies you went to get with all the gold we had. Lacy looked down at the ground, and said I bought this egg, its an Ev Dragon egg. I was told it will grow into a great fighter for me. An Ev Dragon Bell thought, hmm. Then asked, what of the cookies, with no cookies we will die. Did you spend all the gold on this egg? Not even buying one cookie. What where you thinking ? This is really bad Lacy, said Bell. Orelinde is away right now, and we have to have cookies. You could have bought a magic seed, but noo, you go and buy this egg, and we can't even eat it. At least with a magic seed there would be a chance that at the top of the been stalk, the giant may of had cookies in his pocket. At this point Lacy had all she could take. I'll make you some cookies Bell just stop your whining, please. I'll even make you some ginger bread cookies. All you have to do is go to Moonglow and find the ginger. As Bell was starting to leave she looked at the egg. Again it moved. Not saying anything to Lacy, she thought. Well perhaps in time it will be of some use, it does sound like a good thing. To have a great fighter at our side. But sill the cookies, That is what we need right now. As Bell says a silent prayer for Orelinde's fast return.
