The Jade Emperor and the Four Dragons.
The climax of this myth would be when my dragons disobeyed me. Long, Yellow, Eastern and Pearl watched my people fall victim to drought and famine. After ten years, they decided enough was enough. My dragons went behind my back and flew to the sea, knowing that I would be angry at them. They picked up water and spread it out across the land. This disobedience caught my attention, and broke the spell that the Fairy Queen had on me. I was furious at my dragons for going behind my back and acting without my permission. I had my guardians bring the dragons up to Heaven, where I punished them. They begged for forgiveness and I showed them mercy by calling upon a mountain god. I asked him to trap each of my dragons under a mountain, as punishment. There they will stay for eternity.
