Story

 * Celestial Dragon episodes

In ancient times, Vulcana Island, composed by sea, earth and sky, was inhabited only by dragons who were tended by the three goddesses: Aryll, the goddess of air, Thesara, the fire goddess and Hemi, the goddess of the waters. They three lived in harmony with the creatures that lived there until humans began to appear on that island, killing more and more dragons. The goddesses were really angry at the attitudes of mortals and then banished them to Limbo, where they would be imprisoned for all eternity. Although most of them were banished to Earth, some humans were allowed to stay in Vulcana because they really liked the dragons and these good people were rewarded with their own dragon pet.

Kagami, a man who was a prisoner of Limbo, found a way out through a portal that led to our planet, Earth. It did not take long for people to begin joining him and so plot revenge against the goddesses, only to give up revenge pessed when he learned of the Dragon Treasure, an ancestral relic created by the goddess Seira who was able to accomplish the greatest will of your heart. Kagami wasted no time so he and his subjects went after the relic and unfortunately they succeeded. Realizing that the man who had left Limbo had taken the relic, Aryll soon contacted her partners who went to try to fight Kagami.

To aid in the battle, they called their protectors Edward, Lucas and Jasmine who promised to save Earth and Vulcan. The battle began, dragons against demons.
