Origin Story
话说很久以前，有一群龙生活在一片广阔的森林中。它们强大而凶猛，但却缺乏一个领导者。每条龙都按照自己的想法行事，争抢地盘，互相攻击，结果常常是两败俱伤。森林里的其他动物都对它们敬而远之。 有一天，一只年老的、充满智慧的雄鹰飞过森林，它看到了这些龙的混乱状况，于是决定帮助它们。雄鹰飞到最高的山峰上，俯瞰着整个森林，然后用嘹亮的声音向龙群喊道：“你们这样下去只会互相残杀，最终走向灭亡！你们需要一个领导者，一个能团结你们，带领你们走向繁荣的领导者！” 龙群起初并没有理会雄鹰的话，它们依然我行我素。但经过一段时间的争斗后，它们也逐渐意识到，这种混乱的状态对它们并没有好处。最终，它们中的一条龙站了出来，自愿担任领导者的角色。在新的领导者的带领下，龙群团结一致，共同努力，逐渐在森林中建立起了自己的秩序，成为了森林中最强大的群体之一。
Once upon a time, there was a group of dragons living in a vast forest. They were powerful and fierce, but lacked a leader. Each dragon acted according to its own desires, fought for territory, and attacked each other, often resulting in mutual losses. The other animals in the forest kept their distance.
