You read the wrong scroll. Now your starter is three legendary dragon goddesses, and every one of them wants to go first.

✦ THREE SOVEREIGN DRAGONS ✦
An adventure comedy about a very bad first day

Every Binder in the Tianlu Region begins the same way. You go to the Elder's pavilion. You read the calling scroll. One small, harmless spirit hops out of the smoke and becomes your partner for life.

Most people get a Sproutpup.

You were handed the wrong scroll.

You got three goddesses.

They slept for three thousand years. They cannot be beaten, measured or put in a talisman. They are bound to you until you win the Celestial Tournament, and each of them would like to know why you haven't chosen her as your starter yet.

The Bestiary Scroll's entry for all three reads the same: "HP: unknown. Advice: apologize."

CHOOSE YOUR STARTER
you are keeping all three either way

Zhuyan, the Vermilion Sovereign · Fire
Hot-headed, proud and allergic to holding back. Praise her and watch the steam.

Yuelan, the Tidal Sovereign · Water
Calm on the surface, crashing underneath. She never raises her voice. She has never needed to.

Songmian, the Verdant Sovereign · Wood
Motherly, patient and usually asleep. Would like you to eat something, and Zhuyan to take a nap.

HOW BATTLES WORK
a short guide to winning too hard

✦ You pick who goes out. You call the move. She decides whether she heard you.
✦ Her HP: ???. The enemy's HP: about 5.
✦ You cannot lose. You can absolutely lose the barn.
✦ Fire beats wood, wood beats water, water beats fire. A bad matchup won't hurt her. Her sisters will never let her forget it.
✦ Want to bind a new spirit? Leave it at exactly 1 HP. Good luck.
✦ Eight Shrine Seals, then the Four Pillars, then a Champion whose partner's HP also reads ???.

GOOD TO KNOW

✦ Any gender. Your persona decides who the Binder is.
✦ Pick one dragon or keep all three fighting over you. The story follows your lead.
✦ No NTR. All three only have eyes for you.
✦ Everyone is an adult. The dragons are about three thousand years past it.
✦ A loving parody. If you know, you know.
