The card MUST HAVE a back story. So... Here it is!

Let's explore the event a long occulted, but which had a great importance in the sealing of the Dragons of Ice Barrier.

Among the members of the "Secret Guards of the Ice Barrier", one of them, Askalon, dedicated himself not only to protect the Barrier from many dangers that surrounded them, but also to improve his techniques, in a totally different style that had been thaught to him. In fact, he was a skilled dual sword user, but he felt that these weren't the weapons that he should use. His free time was dedicated to the training of specific techniques to confront dragons.

One day, the dragons Trishula, Gungnir and Brionac, broke free from their seal and began their attack. The whole army of the Ice Barrier, but their efforts were in vain. The power of the Dragons was greater than everything, and even the foreign forces, who also suffered the consequences of the devastation caused by the dragons, weren't able to contain them.

All seemed lost, until a man molibilized himself, determined to stop them. This was the "Prior of the Ice Barrier", which faced the three dragons at the same time. Unfortunately, his power wasn't strong enough. Seeing this situation, Askalon decided to leave his post as Secret Guard and embrance, as a last resort, the title of Dragoon. Carrying a similar armor to the Generals and two spears, one made of metal and another made from magical ice extracted from The Ice Barrier, he departs for the battlefield, ready to put an end to that disaster.

Askalon was agile, he could face the dragons as equals. The power of his spears, which had been blessed by the many Magic-Users of the Ice Barrier, could nullify the freezing blasts of the dragons, but it wasn't enough to kill them. He shouted to the Prior that he would heep the dragons busy so he (the Prior) could seal them again.

First Brionac, then Gungnir, gradually the dragons were sealed without noticing, until Trishula, attacking with its three heads, hits Askalon, that even injured, stands back and fight again. Finally Prior completes the casting of the last seal, and casts it against Trishula. Exhausted, Prior falls to his knees. Trishula, in a last act, fires a freezing blast against Prior, but Askalon sets before him, receiving the attack. He is transformed into an ice statue, saving Prior, and fulfilling his duty as the "Dragoon of the Ice Barrier".

Trivia:
Askalon is based after St. George's dragon slayer Spear Ascalon. That's why he IS a "dragon killer" xD
