#Story :

In the kingdom of Drakonia, dragons are admired for their ability to fly. Thalor, a dragon born without the ability to fly, feels ashamed and isolated as the other dragons mock him. Despite this, he dreams of one day soaring through the skies. One day, an ancient dragon named Eldra tells him about a legendary stone hidden in the dangerous Dark Peaks, said to grant the power of flight. Thalor embarks on a perilous journey to find the stone, facing storms, wild creatures, and a fearsome guardian dragon. After proving his worth with his determination and courage, Thalor claims the Flight Stone and gains the ability to fly.
