Drake then withdrew into the deepest darkest pits of his watery abyss and over times and seasons he schemed. Long had he trod along this dark path. From before the world was sung, he had pulled away from Vayria's light. And in the depths of his abode, he reached the bottom of his own wickedness.
In the deep waters of the seas, Drake crafted the most glorious and majestic of all the serpentine beasts. The One's servant crafted this last of his creations with such glory, that the entirety of his own flame was embued within the shimmer of its scales and the flash of its wings. The One's servant then took that form for himself and walked out from his abyss onto the dry land.
When the great serpents caught sight of this new creature they were struck with awe. Never had they seen such power and such beauty in one of their fellow creatures. It was for this reason that they called this new one Leviathan, for in their tongue the word meant "Glorious".
Leviathan, as Drake now took to be called, flew out through the world and observed the many works of the great dragons from afar. Never did he share in their works, but he simply observed.
One day, a group of dragons finally approached Leviathan and asked him why he would not share with them in their work. Leviathan had long planned for this day, and so with much eloquence he quicky replied, "Why must we toil long and hard in the world as we do? When our work is done, will we enjoy the fruits of our labor? What special privilege do these new ones have, creatures of whom we may never even see ourselves?"
With his cunning response, Leviathan led many to question their calling. As they looked around at the paradise they were making, some grew prideful and possessive. Leviathan reasoned with them that the land was of their making, and they decided that they should enjoy what they felt was rightfully theirs.
As time went on, Leviathan's numbers grew. At first they left off from their work and wandered about the land, doing with it as they pleased. Finally, when he had all that would follow him, Leviathan roused his followers to battle.
The time was fast approaching when they would be called to leave the land, and the only way they could stay is if their work was never done. Leviathan and his vast army worked against the loyal serpents. Where the loyal ones would build, Leviathan and his followers would tear down. Where the loyal ones would soften, Leviathan and his followers would harden. In due time, Leviathan's power ultimately prevailed, and under his control the dragons all became destructive and dangerous. Yet that was to come later; by then, various other minions would have populated the Midworld and would be able to vie with the dragons for control of the realms.
