The Thirteen Dragons FAQ

As stated earlier in the Legend section, the Thirteen Dragons were a group made up of 13 mystical dragons. They were the defenders of good and destroyers of evil in our galaxy. When they felt their deaths near, they turned to Dragon Spirit, a shape shifting immortal dragon, who was the guardian of earth. Together, they came up with a plan to ensure the safety of the galaxy. Dragon Spirit was to transfer the spirits of the 13 dragon warriors into the bodies of thirteen humans, selected by the 13 dragon warriors. The spirits of the dragon warriors would be permanently grafted to the spirits of the 13 humans so that if the humans died, the dragon spirits would be carried on into the humans next life.

After the long and tiring ritual that infused the humans with the dragon warrior's spirits, the 13 dragon warriors died. But...a part of them would live on in each of the humans. In memory of their predecessors, the thirteen chosen humans called themselves, the Thirteen Dragons. Dragon Spirit became their sensei, teaching them what they would need to know to defend all that is good. When their training was completed, their memories of the ritual and training went into dormancy and they were sent back to earth to live out their lives normally.

With the dragon warrior's spirits still with them, their memories and powers would be restored if evil happened to threaten the galaxy.

Yes. There are dragons that use the energy of the four elements earth, air, fire and water. For instance, 1)Dragon Quake uses earth 2) Dragon Windsong uses air or wind 3) Dragon Cinder uses fire, and finally 4) Dragon Splash uses water. There are also dragons that use combinations of two elements. Only one of these dragons exist in the Spiral Galaxy. 5) Dragon Freeze, uses the powers of ice, which is a combination of water and freezing cold air.

The other dragons have non elemental based powers such as 6) Dragon Comet, who uses space born materials and events 7) Dragon Time, who controls the dangerous power of time 8) Dragon Knight, who uses his paladin skill 9) Dragon Blood, who uses her telekinetic power for attack 10) Dragon Phoenix (who is actually Dragon Freeze in a certain point of view) uses the mystic power of the Phoenix 11) Dragon Shock, who uses lightning 12) Dragon Shadow, who uses the powers of death and destruction 13) Dragon Light, who uses ultra violet and spectral light for attack, and finally 14) Dragon Love uses magical charm, healing and persuasion.

Even though they both use fire to attack, they are actually more different than alike:

1) Dragon Phoenix may also use fire, but she also still has the ability to use Dragon Freeze's ice attacks.

2) She also has the ability to breath life back into the dead. Of course, she doesn't just resurrect anyone. The Phoenix has certain rules about the use of it's power.

3) When Dragon Cinder was created, the ability to use fire was natural to him, where in the case of Dragon Phoenix, she was infused with the spirit of the Phoenix and was then able to use fire.

4) Dragons Cinder and Phoenix use different types of fire. Dragon Cinder uses a very strong hybrid of fire, that gives him the ability to send fire energy into an object and make it explode. He is also now evolving towards the ability to use the fire of the sun, the strongest form of natural fire. Dragon Phoenix uses two types of fire, Mystic fire (also known as Ghost Fire because of its golden white glow) and Ice Fire, a powerful blue flame that freezes to the point of burning, like freezer burn only more powerful on a much large scale.

5) Another difference is of course their gender. Dragon Cinder is male, and Dragon Phoenix is female.

And finally...

6) Dragon Cinder is the combination of two spirits, his human spirit and the spirit of the dragon warrior of fire. Dragon Phoenix is the combination of three spirits, the human spirit, the spirit of the dragon warrior of ice, and the mirror spirit of the Phoenix.

So as you can see, they are truly more different than alike but that is the essence of friendship.

Dragon Spirit is an immortal dragon that has the ability to shape shift. When he appears before the Thirteen Dragons, he assumes a human shape. He is dressed in gold and silver robes and has long black hair. Eons ago, he was made the guardian of earth. He lives inside of a mountain, in a very large lair. He performed the ritual that grafted both human spirit and dragon warrior spirit together. The same ritual that created The Thirteen Dragons, the 13 humans with remarkable powers. Now he is the leader of the Thirteen Dragons under the title of Sensei. When the Thirteen Dragons complete their mission and are sent back to earth to live as humans, Dragon Spirit shapes back into the gold and silver dragon that he naturally is.

An excellent question, just where did he go? Well, answer that question we must first go back and examine what happened just before the incident at the Phoenix Caves. Dragon Freeze journeyed to the Phoenix Caves in search of the magical Phoenix Feather that restored life and health to those dead, possessed or ill. After proving his worth to Magmus, the guardian of the caves, Freeze was awarded the feather and left to restore health to his team mates, who were possessed by Darkness's phantasms. Freeze was successful in restoring their health and defeating the phantasm that possessed them. Magmus watched him carefully through a crystal mirror. The Phoenix, the legendary bird of fire and life that lived in the cave, called to Magmus and told him that it had found the one worthy of its power, Dragon Freeze.

The Thirteen Dragons were summoned by Dragon Darkness to a battle that would take place on the plain of darkness (the large 10 mile stretch of flat land surrounding the city where Darkness's hidden fortress was located. The Thirteen Dragons knew that they would be seriously outnumbered but had no choice but to go and fight. They were getting beaten very badly. Their power was no match for Darkness's army of Phantasms (the evil possessive spirits), Death Riders (Ghost Horseman riding Ghost Horses), Gelakaras (beings made of a black gel with shape shifting abilities) and Number 039s (an unnamed, gigantic and genetically engineered creature with horrific destructive power). During the battle, Dragon Freeze disappears. He wakes up in the Phoenix Caves. It is there that the Phoenix tells Freeze of its will, to help rid the galaxy of evil so that it no longer has to hide in the caves (since the Phoenix only roams the earth freely in time of peace). The Phoenix promised that it would give enough power to Freeze to save his friends and destroy a great deal of Darkness's army that was attacking the Thirteen Dragons. Dragon Freeze agreed and the painful infusion began.

The dragons were almost at their end. Then, in the sky above them appeared the new born Dragon Phoenix, wearing the uniform of the dragons and blowing in the wind was her long fiery hair. With one mighty shockwave of mystic flame, most of the dark army was destroyed. What wasn't destroyed ran in terror. As for Darkness, he was blasted back to the city, ten miles away. After her victory, Dragon Phoenix healed her friends and they all returned to the lair.

Back at the lair, Dragon Phoenix explained everything to them. All was understood. And that is when an attraction sparked between Dragons Knight and Phoenix. However, that is another question entirely, if anyone cares to ask it.

As for what happened to Dragon Freeze, here's what happened. Nothing. Phoenix is still Freeze. The only thing that changed was the gender from male to female. The gender changed because the Phoenix that gave Freeze the infusion had a feminine spirit. That feminine spirit provoked the change in gender that transformed Dragon Freeze into Dragon Phoenix. Some other differences are, hair color and eye color but the mind and personality are still the same.
