class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the child raised his head for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beneath the tangled wet hair\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">his eyes burned gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not human gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Predator gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The surviving guards backed away instinctively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because every soldier in Ashkar knew the ancient legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Beast Relics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weapons forged during the First War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Artifacts said to contain the souls of divine monsters powerful enough to destroy kingdoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most believed they no longer existed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king groaned beneath the collapsed debris across the ruined hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blood dripped from his mouth as he pushed broken stone away from his body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2026\u201d he coughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat relic was sealed\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child finally spoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His voice remained quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou burned my village for it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silence swallowed the hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several ministers suddenly turned pale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One old noble whispered in horror:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Black Fang massacre\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king\u2019s face darkened instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKill him NOW!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hundreds of royal soldiers stormed into the feast hall from every entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heavy shields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crossbows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire palace shook beneath marching steel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the barefoot child didn\u2019t move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tiger gauntlet pulsed once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">THOOOOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A massive golden shockwave exploded outward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soldiers were hurled across pillars and banquet tables like leaves in a hurricane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The spectral tiger behind the boy grew larger\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">larger\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">until its gigantic head nearly touched the chandeliers above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RRRRRRAAAAAAAHHHHH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The roar shattered every remaining window in the palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outside\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">thunderstorms exploded across the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Citizens screamed in panic as golden energy erupted from the royal hall into the night sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside the throne room\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the king staggered backward in fear for the very first time in years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because he finally recognized the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ten years earlier\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ashkar\u2019s army destroyed an entire mountain clan guarding the Beast Relics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Burned alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king personally ordered every survivor executed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Except one child whose body was never found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou should\u2019ve died\u2026\u201d the king whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The barefoot boy slowly clenched the tiger gauntlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd you should\u2019ve protected your people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BOOOOOOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child vanished again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This time\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the king barely managed to raise his sword before the tiger gauntlet collided against it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CRAAAAAASH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The royal blade exploded apart instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The impact blasted the king through three stone pillars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire feast hall began collapsing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobles fled screaming beneath falling debris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fire spread wildly across shattered banquet tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the tiger gauntlet started shaking violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The glowing beast symbols flickered uncontrollably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pain exploded across his arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dark cracks spread beneath the gauntlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the spectral tiger behind him suddenly turned toward the boy himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its glowing eyes narrowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hungry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One terrified minister screamed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe relic is consuming him!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ancient legends flooded the hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every Beast Relic demanded a host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And eventually\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the beast devoured the soul of its wielder completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child dropped to one knee as golden fire spiraled violently around his body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Memories flashed through his mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His burning village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His mother screaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His father standing before royal soldiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And one final sentence whispered before the flames consumed everything:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNever let the beast own your heart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tiger spirit roared again\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">this time directly above him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The palace floor exploded apart beneath massive spectral claws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The beast was no longer obeying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It wanted freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It wanted destruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outside the palace\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the storm intensified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Golden lightning tore across the capital while giant cracks spread through the royal fortress walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king slowly rose from the rubble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">he started laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blood covered his face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou fool\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou think you came here for revenge?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child looked up weakly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king spread his arms toward the collapsing hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI wanted you to awaken it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the ministers froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king smiled wider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Beast Relics cannot fully awaken without the bloodline of their original guardians.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy\u2019s eyes widened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou slaughtered my clan\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo unlock the relics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king\u2019s voice became monstrous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor ten years I searched for you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the king ripped open his royal cloak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And attached to his chest\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">embedded directly into his flesh\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">was another relic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A gigantic black dragon-shaped core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire hall trembled violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ministers screamed in horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the king himself had become a vessel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dark energy erupted across the palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SHHHHHHKKKKK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Massive dragon wings of shadow exploded from the king\u2019s back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His body twisted unnaturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bones cracked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black scales spread across his skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou are not the only monster here, child.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ceiling exploded apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The transformed king launched upward into the storm-covered sky above Ashkar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"534\" height=\"412\"

toward the boy\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">jaws wide open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the child closed his eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">a warm hand touched his shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His mother\u2019s voice echoed softly inside his memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe beast protects the heart it trusts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy\u2019s eyes

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He slowly placed his human hand against the glowing tiger gauntlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou were trapped too\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tiger froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The golden rage surrounding the spirit weakened.<\/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\">the gigantic beast lowered its head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hall fell silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child stepped forward slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then placed his forehead against the spectral tiger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m not your master.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m your family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Golden light exploded across the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tiger spirit dissolved into thousands of glowing fragments\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">not consuming the child\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">but merging with him willingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gauntlet transformed instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smaller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sleeker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The savage energy stabilized completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outside\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the dragon king descended from the sky toward the collapsing palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYOU CANNOT STOP ME!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dark flames gathered inside his jaws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Citizens below screamed in terror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But standing atop the destroyed throne\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the barefoot child slowly raised one glowing arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Golden tiger markings spread across his body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BOOOOOOOOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A colossal spectral tiger erupted into the sky above Ashkar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bigger than the palace itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tiger collided with the shadow dragon in midair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire capital shook beneath the impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Golden light and black fire exploded across the storm clouds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon king roared violently while clawing against the beast spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But something changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tiger wasn\u2019t trying to kill him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was holding him still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child looked directly into the dragon\u2019s burning eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then quietly said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou were never chosen by the relic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe relic was trying to stop you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the black dragon core embedded in his chest began cracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because unlike the tiger\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the dragon spirit hated its host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For years\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the relic had been fighting him from within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Waiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Searching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the true heir bloodline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king realized the truth too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CRAAAAAAACK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon core shattered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dark energy exploded outward uncontrollably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shadow dragon screamed as the relic abandoned the king entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His monstrous form collapsed midair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child leapt forward instantly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">catching the falling king before he struck the burning streets below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a moment\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">both of them stared at each other silently beneath the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
