The Gold 3 ring, positioned closest to the empty fissure, marked the absolute genesis point for the Black Dragon's evolutionary line.
On the opposite side of the continent, across the fissure, Yino's Shadow Dragon shared this exact same primordial element. But this specific dragon, the one birthed from Yano's soil, was different, and the root cause of that divergence lay entirely in the contrasting elemental geography of the two sister cities' higher rings.
In Yino, the five natural elements were not organized in the same order as they were in Yano. Light and Darkness still shared their neighboring, mirrored spaces across the fissure, maintaining a different balance. But the remaining natural elements were seemingly scrambled, but specifically arranged so that every single element directly faced its polarizing negative.
