Plot
In the past, the dragons and their crystals of power came to the human world through a portal. While the dragons brought knowledge and wanted only peace, the human kingdoms of Norvagen and Draigar wanted war and misused the knowledge brought by the dragons. Thoron, the Dragon King and holder of the legendary Aurathon crystal, appointed the wizard Xenoz as an ambassador for the dragons, giving him immortality and power over the dragons' crystals. After an evil force killed the Dragon Queen, Thoron and his followers returned to their world, vowing to return only after the war had ended.
In the present day, King Olsef of the Norvagen Kingdom is giving his eight-year-old son, Prince Dev, some practice for battle while expressing his hatred for the Draigar, who he believes hunted the remaining dragons to near-extinction. While Dev's practice shows him to be too impulsive, Olsef believes nevertheless that he is ready to begin riding on Targon, the only dragon that they have left. During this time, Xenoz arrives and gives Dev his blessing. Meanwhile, in the Draigar kingdom, King Siddari is training Princess Kyra in the same form and blames the Norvagen for the disappearances of the dragons. Xenoz comes by to give the same blessing he gave to Dev so that Kyra can begin flying on the Draigar's last dragon, Aurora. During the flight, a black dragon marks Dev and Kyra with his mystical teardrops before disappearing.
Eight years later, Dev and Kyra have developed mystical abilities and want the war to end, but their fathers object to their ideas on how it should. They both violate orders and continue with their ideas anyway, catching the attention of Xenoz. The two royals fight until their fathers and armies show up to fight to the death once and for all. Just before the battle commences, the Vorgans capture the kings. Xenoz rescues Dev and Kyra and instructs them to retrieve the Aurathon from a rogue dragon to rescue their fathers. Dev and Kyra confront the dragon, but are quickly overpowered. The dragon reveals that he is Thoron and that Xenoz previously conspired to kill the Dragon Queen with the help of Stendhal, a dragon with a grudge against Thoron. Stendhal was imprisoned, but broke free 1,000 years later and attacked Thoron. During the battle, the Aurathon was activated and Thoron was transported to the human world. Knowing he lacked the strength to fight Xenoz, Thoron used the Aurathon to empower Dev and Kyra. Knowing now where their elemental abilities came from, Dev and Kyra begin practicing their powers over fire and air, but tear a hole in the Ring of Oroborus, alerting Xenoz to their position. They escape the attack with Targon and Aurora's help and head for Xenoz's castle.
Dev and Kyra break into Xenoz's castle and quickly dispatch the Vorgan guards, but are captured by Xenoz, who extracts the Aurathon from their bodies. Thoron crashes through and falls to the base of the castle, where he discovers the skeleton of the Dragon Queen. With a new driving force, he heads off to fight Xenoz. Xenoz opens the portal to Dragon World and traps Thoron in ice, believing that Dev and Kyra are weak and cannot do anything. Thoron begs to differ, pointing out that Dev and Kyra were chosen by the dragons themselves. With this, Dev and Kyra use their elemental abilities to break free and reunite the Aurathon with Thoron, who drags Xenoz back to Dragon World.
The next day, both Norvagen and Draigar armies celebrate at Olsef's castle. During the celebration, the dragons return. Dev and Kyra jump on to Targon and Aurora to join the flight. As the celebration continues, Xenoz vows to escape his prison in Dragon World.
