Its possible but unlikely i mean before the age of fire there was pretty much nothing left over for the dragons so the plan was probaly create the fire, let the gods kill the dragons, after all humans are removed from the caves in put into the lands up above, the dragon begins to recreate the dragons or resurrect them, the major gods are all dead leaving only the minor gods are far away in other lands, and the dragons have food to eat which are humans, and then this where dark souls 2 comes in. We all get hungry.

Remember this is just a theory :)
