It's an interesting theory but I don't think that adds up correctly. The opening states that with the Fire came light and dark. A chosen -four- came from the dark which we know to be Gwyn, Nito, the Witch of Izalith, and the Furtive Pygmy. From that narration we can assume that the Dark Soul was discovered around the same time as the Lord Souls. Something else to consider is that the Dark Soul would not become stronger than the Lord Souls while the First Flame still burned brightly. So the Dark Soul had to have been around as just as long as the Lord Souls but kept in secret of course, spread throughout humanity as you said.

Moving onto if he served the Dragons though, it's safe to say that while some humans worshipped them and still do in the game, a majority of humans preferred independence from the dragons. However if we read the description on the Covetous Gold Serpent Ring it mentions that the serpent is an imperfect dragon and symbol of the Undead. So what if the primordial serpents that once served the dragons, recognized something or someone else as the rightful rulers. This is what the undead are. The undead are the strongest humans to be encountered especially since the Chosen Undead is destined to literally kill all of the most powerful beings that reside in Lordran.

I'm willing to believe that it's not the humans that are meant to serve the dragons but that the humans are to succeed them and the Lords. There is either only one living everlasting dragon left or none at all depending on how we speculate the origins of the Stone Dragon. All other dragonkin are just animals. That is why the Primordial Serpents don't serve them anymore, IF they ever did in the first place we don't even know that either. What we know though, is that they will serve you if you become the Dark Lord and that is because they recognize your power as above any other being.

But hey, depending on what we find out in Dark Souls 2 maybe we'll all turn out to be wrong :P
