&#8211; THE SKINNY BOY SUDDENLY STEPPED IN FRONT OF THE KING DURING A RAIN OF ARROWS."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The battlefield outside Ashkar drowned beneath blood and thunder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rain hammered the valley so violently the earth itself had become a sea of black mud beneath thousands of dying soldiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">War horns echoed endlessly through the mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Steel screamed against steel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Burning siege towers collapsed beside shattered fortress walls while horses trampled bodies into the dirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And above it all\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">lightning ripped across the heavens like cracks splitting the sky apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Kingdom of Ashkar was losing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enemy banners covered the northern ridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Entire battalions had already broken through the outer defenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fortress gates behind the royal army burned beneath flaming oil while wounded soldiers crawled through pools of blood screaming for medics who would never come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the center of the battlefield\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King Vaelor stood surrounded by death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old king\u2019s armor had been shattered across one shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blood streamed down his arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The royal guard protecting him lay scattered across the mud like broken statues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some still breathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A wounded knight collapsed beside the king coughing blood violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYour Majesty\u2026\u201d he gasped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have to retreat\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another soldier suddenly screamed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cARCHERS!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every surviving knight looked upward instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And terror spread across the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hundreds of enemy archers lined the cliffs above the valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black bows drawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arrowheads glinting beneath flashes of lightning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Waiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The enemy commander slowly rode forward through the storm atop a massive black horse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">General Mordain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Butcher of Varekh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A warlord feared across the continent for annihilating entire kingdoms without mercy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rain streamed across his scarred face while his cold eyes fixed directly on King Vaelor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then slowly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">he raised one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every archer pulled their bows tighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The remaining royal soldiers immediately moved to shield the king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there weren\u2019t enough left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not nearly enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wounded knight beside Vaelor suddenly grabbed the king\u2019s cloak desperately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRUN!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Vaelor already understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was nowhere left to run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The enemy commander\u2019s hand dropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFire.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sky vanished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thousands of arrows erupted downward from the cliffs like black rain descending from the heavens themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The battlefield froze in horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was no shield wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only death screaming through the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">someone walked forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The movement looked so small compared to the battlefield that many soldiers barely noticed him at first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eight years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barefoot in freezing mud stained with blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thin from hunger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wearing torn ragged clothes soaked by rain and ash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A broken sword rested in his small hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nothing more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child quietly stepped directly between the king and the falling arrows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King Vaelor stared at him in disbelief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMove aside!\u201d the king shouted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2019ll die!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy never looked back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rain rolled down his tangled dark hair while mud clung to his bruised legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The arrows screamed closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And slowly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the child raised the broken sword toward the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Something changed instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wind stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not weakened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The battlefield fell strangely silent beneath the thunder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the enemy soldiers hesitated in confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the arrows arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thousands of steel tips descending directly toward the king and the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">everything froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The arrows stopped in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Motionless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hundreds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thousands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suspended around the child like invisible chains held every shaft trapped inside the storm itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire battlefield went silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rain still fell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thunder still roared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the arrows remained hanging around the boy without moving an inch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One enemy archer accidentally dropped his bow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A royal knight whispered shakily:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat\u2026 is happening?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King Vaelor slowly stepped backward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fear spread across his face for the first time in years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because he recognized this power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That bloodline was dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Exterminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child slowly lifted his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And for the first time\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">people saw his eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Glowing beneath the rain like living lightning hidden inside human flesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gasps erupted across the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The enemy commander\u2019s face lost all color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The broken sword in the child\u2019s hand suddenly pulsed with ancient blue light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wind spiraled outward across the valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CLANG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every arrow instantly dropped harmlessly into the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thousands of steel shafts crashing onto the battlefield all at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sound echoed across the mountains like collapsing chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silence swallowed the valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the storm itself seemed afraid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The little boy slowly lowered the glowing sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The enemy army stood frozen in terror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because according to the oldest legends of Ashkar\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">only one bloodline possessed the power to command storms themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Storm Kings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ancient rulers who could bend wind and lightning around their blades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A royal family supposedly exterminated twenty years earlier during the Night of Ashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">an old royal knight dropped to one knee before the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sir Cedric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The oldest surviving warrior of the kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rain streamed down his white beard while his entire body trembled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The knight stared directly at the glowing silver eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And finally whispered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe last heir\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The battlefield erupted into chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat did he say?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHeir to what?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s impossible!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enemy soldiers stepped backward fearfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even hardened warriors looked ready to flee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because stories about the Storm Kings terrified entire kingdoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

followed their bloodline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That lightning itself obeyed their rage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King Vaelor\u2019s face slowly twisted with something darker than fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because twenty years ago\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">he personally ordered the extermination of the Storm Bloodline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or at least\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">he believed he had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king slowly looked at the child standing before him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The silver eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The glowing sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The impossible control over the air itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vaelor remembered another face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another pair of silver eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His younger brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crown Prince Aeryn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rightful heir to Ashkar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The man Vaelor betrayed during the Night of Ashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king\u2019s breathing became uneven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo\u2026\u201d he whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child finally turned around slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rain rolled across his glowing eyes while thunder cracked behind him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And somehow\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">despite being only eight years old\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">his presence silenced an entire battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy stared quietly at the king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then asked softly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDo you recognize this sword?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vaelor\u2019s blood turned cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the broken blade in the child\u2019s hand\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">was impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shattered royal sword Tempest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A weapon forged for the Storm Kings alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The blade that vanished with Prince Aeryn twenty years earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king staggered backward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His voice weakened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2019re dead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child tilted his head slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo,\u201d he answered quietly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut my father is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lightning exploded across the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old knight Sir Cedric closed his eyes in grief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because now he understood everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prince Aeryn escaped the massacre twenty years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Long enough to hide his child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Long enough to preserve the bloodline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And now\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the last Storm Heir had returned to Ashkar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The enemy commander suddenly shouted desperately:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKILL HIM!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The enemy archers snapped from their terror instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another wave of arrows lifted toward the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But before they could fire\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the child moved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He stepped forward once into the rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the entire valley changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wind exploded outward across the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thousands of arrows ripped directly from enemy hands before they could fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soldiers screamed as invisible force hurled entire shield walls backward through the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lightning struck the cliffs above the archers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BOOOOOOOOM!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stone exploded apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fire erupted across enemy siege towers instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The storm itself had awakened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And somehow\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">it was obeying the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Panic spread through the enemy army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMONSTER!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRETREAT!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Storm Blood lives!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy stood motionless at the center of the battlefield while violent winds spiraled around him like living creatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His silver eyes glowed brighter beneath the rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But strangely\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">there was no hatred in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only sadness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child slowly looked down at the broken sword in his hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then quietly whispered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFather\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A memory flashed across his mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A dying man kneeling beside a fire years earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silver eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Warm hands covered in blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNever use the storm unless there\u2019s no other choice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child\u2019s chest tightened painfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because his father knew this day would come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knew the kingdom would eventually discover him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knew war would follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King Vaelor suddenly drew his sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou think this changes anything?\u201d the king shouted violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou are still only a child!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The little boy slowly looked toward him again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The storm immediately calmed slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou killed my father,\u201d the child said quietly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vaelor froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The surrounding knights stared at the king in shock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child stepped closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou burned our home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou hunted us for years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king\u2019s expression darkened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYour father was a traitor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo,\u201d the child answered softly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe was the true king.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silence crashed across the battlefield harder than thunder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the enemy soldiers stopped moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because treason against the crown was punishable by death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet nobody interrupted him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody dared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not while the storm itself circled above his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King Vaelor lunged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old king roared violently and drove his sword directly toward the child\u2019s chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several knights shouted warnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The blade stopped inches from the boy\u2019s body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Invisible pressure surrounded him completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king pushed harder desperately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sword would not move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child looked down calmly at the trembling weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then slowly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">he raised one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lightning exploded across the valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CRAAAAAAACK!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king was thrown backward violently across the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His sword shattered apart instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The battlefield went silent again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vaelor lay staring upward in horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not because he had been defeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But because he finally understood the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy wasn\u2019t merely a surviving heir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was stronger than every Storm King before him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The storm clouds above the valley suddenly began rotating slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silver light pulsed through the heavens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And far beyond the mountains\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">something answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A horn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ancient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Massive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every soldier turned toward the northern ridges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shapes appeared through the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Riders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hundreds of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black armor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silver banners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The forgotten army of House Aeryn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The loyalists who vanished after the Night of Ashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And at their front\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">rode a man wearing a silver wolf cloak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scarred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King Vaelor\u2019s face became ghostly pale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rider slowly removed his hood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silver eyes reflected lightning across the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crown Prince Aeryn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dead prince.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire kingdom froze in disbelief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The prince\u2019s gaze locked onto the child standing alone beneath the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And for the first time in eight years\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the boy smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Very small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Very tired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
