Nitrius' Backstory

Before Joining Team Light

Nitrius never knew his parents as his egg was abandoned by them so that he could escape the war. His egg was found by an egg convoy guard and brought into the system so that he could find another family, but when he hatched from the egg days later he quickly became a favorite and they adopted him. He lived there for many years and watched as eggs came and went. For Nitrius life felt perfect, he had a family, a home and the Shadow Queen had been wounded badly with most of her army was gone; yet even this did not last. One day a special date was sent when the convoy, containing 50 different egg carriers, was to arrive at the City of Light and deliver the eggs to the city's orphanages and nurseries. But as they were on the way there tragedy struck.

Shadow dragons, dozens, appeared out of nowhere. They attacked and killed the egg guards, egg carriers, and all other dragons there. They then proceeded to take all the eggs they could, planning poison them with dark magic to make them into soldiers to rebuild their army. At this time Lumera had recovered from a four month comma caused by achieving her Divine Light form and was immediately alerted to the disturbance. Despite the warnings from her team about having just regained conscious weeks before she went anyway and brought Knockout.  The two then proceeded to attack and chase away the shadow dragons, gathering some eggs while they were at it, only to get beaten and caught by one of Shadowsa's generals and a few of his shadow dragons. The general called Draiden demanded that they hand over the eggs and when the two refused physical punishment was used.

Nitrius at the time of the attack hid after his guardian was killed and shivered in fear. Little did he know that he was hiding under on of the Universe's most deadly mushrooms, the Monotocis mushroom, whose poison could kill a dragon in mere minuets. As he hid the magic in the plant descended in puffs of smoke and dust, due to the shaking of the hatchling. This magic was then absorbed into the little earth dragon's body and it went so far as to combine with his DNA. The magic was so powerful that it changed his genetic code and edited it to the point where he grew horns, spikes, two large canines, markings, and took on the element of poison. After the change, which Nitrius was unaware of, he continued to hide until he saw Lumera and Knockout being pushed around by shadow dragons. Seeing this caused Nitrius to go off and he shot forward like a bullet "Why did these two who risked everything for the eggs get treated like this by the shadow dragons?", is what he thought as he plunged toward the towering giants. 

Just as Draiden was about to slap Lumera he heard a little shout and turned to see Nitrius, at first he laughed at this foolish pest and thought nothing of his threats. But, when the shadow dragon holding Lumera down was bitten by this hatchling and died within moments he became worried. Lumera then saw her chance and killed the remaining shadow dragons, thus Draiden was forced to flee or die by the toxic bite of this baby. Lumera and Knockout then turned to the hatchling and asked who he was as well as thanking him for what he had done. After exchanging stories Nitrius happily decided to join the team, of course naming Lumera as his new mother and Knockout as his uncle.
