To the present day most things have taken a some what human form. The sea creatures have webbed feet and hands and can go on land or water. The forest folk like lions still have their mains, monkeys have tails, cats have tails and weird eyes, wolves have keen sense of smell furry hair, frogs can leap high, and so on. Everyone is slowly ,but still having some remnant of their ancestors, evolving. There are towns, malls, teens, schools, blah blah blah like today but with those different races. little to every ones knowledge though a white dragon that has survived it's past and still able to transform to human or dragon at will has begun to make an army. So that he can rebuild the world in his eyes just like his ancestors wanted to. He found select few who still have the ability to change back to their ancestors forms and make them his lieutenants of war. They siege and burns cities across the world but they have not defeated all hope. Yet remains a black dragon who unknowingly to him wields the power of his ancestors and can change to and from their form. His grandfather tells him to seek out those who have not been turned and fight back for peace. Slowly retake this world and run it's evil into a corner so that you can finish it off. :D
