The island of Santa Safira was a basically a luxury resort in the middle of the vast ocean, isolated from almost everywhere. Small local population, excellent weather, clear water and fantastic beaches appealed to the many tourists that each year.
Unluckily for everyone on the island, the great dragon Zaheel was also living there. As the resort grew and more people arrived, his once silent island became infested with humans. He retreated to the mountains deep into the heart of the small island, though there were some tourists foolish enough who attempted to see the dragon with their own eyes.
Zaheel had cared little for the locals. They respected the great lizard and knew better than cross his lands. But those foolish tourists? He wished to wipe out the resort with fire and death but he knew better. Killing a human would only meant retaliation. That is why he was thrilled about the plot to overcome humanity. Zaheel had a great idea: creating an electromagnetic pulse that combined with magic would start and speed the metamorphosis. Most devices would do. Mobile phones, radio, TV and so on, just as long as they were on the island (perhaps later he would be able to amplify the signal). He would spread the magic that way, sharing the gift of his race. They would be turned into humanoid dragons. Perhaps, if some qualified, they would be turned into true dragons.
