&#8211; THE BOY SHATTERED THE GIANT\u2019S WAR HAMMER WITH A DRAGON CLAW"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant\u2019s crimson eyes narrowed beneath the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the first time since the invasion of Ashkar began\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">something had stopped him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The enormous creature slowly looked down at the shattered remains of his war hammer buried across the desert sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Broken black steel still glowed red from the impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silence spread across the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the storm itself seemed to hesitate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the giant laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A deep monstrous laugh that shook the dunes beneath everyone\u2019s feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The soldiers froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because that sound was worse than rage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was excitement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell now\u2026\u201d the giant rumbled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His massive voice echoed through the sandstorm like distant thunder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou are not human.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The barefoot boy remained motionless before the wounded queen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Golden dragon-energy continued spiraling around his right arm like burning smoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blood dripped slowly from his fingertips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The queen stared at him in disbelief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He looked so small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So thin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barely old enough to hold a sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And yet\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the air around him felt ancient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant slowly lowered his enormous armored hand toward another weapon strapped across his back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A colossal double-bladed axe forged from black iron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The soldiers watching nearby turned pale instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s Doomcleaver\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One knight whispered fearfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe giant destroyed entire fortress gates with that axe\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The queen forced herself upright despite the pain ripping through her legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBoy\u2026 run\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the child never moved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wind whipped through his tangled black hair while dragon symbols glowed brighter beneath the skin of both arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the giant vanished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The battlefield exploded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sand erupted outward as the gigantic creature crossed the distance in a single terrifying step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The queen screamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The massive axe descended toward the child with enough force to split the earth apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But at the final instant\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the boy moved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BOOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The axe slammed into empty sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A shockwave blasted through the desert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearby soldiers were thrown backward violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant\u2019s eyes widened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child was gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">golden light flashed above him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy had leaped impossibly high into the storm itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dragon energy spiraled around his body while burning sand swirled beneath his feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For one brief moment\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">his silhouette looked less like a child\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">and more like a dragon descending from the heavens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant roared and swung upward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy twisted through the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His glowing claw struck the side of the axe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CRACK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gigantic weapon split apart instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fragments exploded through the storm like meteors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant staggered backward again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Disbelief finally appeared across his monstrous face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat power\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child landed silently upon the sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Breathing hard now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blood trickled slowly from his arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because every strike was damaging him too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon energy burning beneath his skin was unstable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Painful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The queen noticed immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The power wasn\u2019t protecting him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was consuming him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">horns echoed across the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enemy reinforcements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thousands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dark banners emerged through the sandstorm from every direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The remaining Ashkar soldiers panicked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re surrounded!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant smiled again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou cannot save this kingdom, little dragon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Behind him\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">an entire army marched through the dunes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Massive siege beasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Armored cavalry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rows of black spears stretching endlessly into the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ashkar\u2019s surviving soldiers looked defeated already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The queen gritted her teeth desperately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their army was broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their walls had already fallen days ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This battlefield was supposed to be the final stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the giant slowly pointed toward the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBring me the boy alive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instantly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">hundreds of enemy soldiers charged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The desert thundered beneath armored footsteps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child looked toward them silently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then glanced behind himself at the wounded queen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fear finally appeared inside his eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not fear for himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fear that he would fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The queen saw it immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou don\u2019t have to protect me\u2026\u201d she whispered weakly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child remained silent for several seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then quietly answered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">he stepped forward alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The soldiers screamed as they charged through the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spears lowered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Swords raised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the dragon marks across the boy\u2019s body ignited completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Golden-red light exploded outward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The battlefield vanished beneath dragon fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BOOOOOOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A colossal shockwave tore through the desert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Entire lines of soldiers were launched backward across the sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The storm itself split apart above the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The queen shielded her eyes in shock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because standing before her now\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">was no longer simply a child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Massive dragon-energy wings had formed behind the boy\u2019s back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not real wings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ancient glowing wings stretching across the storm like burning sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The enemy army stopped instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Terrified whispers spread everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDragon blood\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s impossible\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe bloodline died centuries ago\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant\u2019s expression darkened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo,\u201d he growled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat bloodline was exterminated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child slowly lifted his glowing eyes toward him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou missed one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the battlefield exploded again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy launched forward like lightning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sand erupted behind him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant swung his enormous fist downward\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">but the child slipped beneath the attack instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CRACK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One dragon-claw strike shattered the giant\u2019s armored knee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The monster roared in pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child moved again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Too fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Golden light flashed across the battlefield repeatedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each strike shattered another piece of black armor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant stumbled backward roaring furiously while soldiers fled from the shockwaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The queen watched in complete disbelief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No human should move like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No child should possess power capable of destroying giants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the boy screamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pain exploded through his body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon energy surrounding him became unstable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cracks of glowing light spread across his skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The queen\u2019s eyes widened in horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The power was tearing him apart from the inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant noticed immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo that is the truth\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The monster straightened slowly despite his injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou cannot control it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child tried to stand again\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">but blood suddenly poured from his mouth onto the sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\"

battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou are merely a vessel,\u201d the giant growled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA child carrying power far beyond his body.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The queen desperately tried reaching for a fallen sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But she was too weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant raised his enormous hand toward the collapsing child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDragon blood always destroys itself eventually.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the boy slowly looked upward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And whispered something so quietly that only the queen heard it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI know\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her heart froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because there was no fear in his voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only acceptance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the dragon energy around the child suddenly changed color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From gold\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">to deep crimson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The air became unbearably hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the sand beneath him began melting into glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant\u2019s expression changed instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the first time\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">true fear appeared across his face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child slowly rose again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But his eyes no longer looked human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ancient dragon-fire burned within them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The storm clouds above the battlefield began spinning violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A deafening roar echoed from somewhere beyond the sky itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every soldier on both sides froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the sound did not belong to any creature on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant stepped backward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Terrified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou awakened it\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child\u2019s voice echoed strangely now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As though something ancient spoke alongside him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou should have left Ashkar alone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the sky split open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A colossal dragon made entirely of crimson fire descended through the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its wings covered the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its roar shattered siege towers across the dunes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thousands of soldiers fell screaming to their knees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The queen stared upward in absolute shock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Legends said the ancient Dragon Kings vanished centuries ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But one still remained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And somehow\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">it answered the boy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fiery dragon circled once above the battlefield before lowering its massive burning head beside the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant looked horrified now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo\u2026 no, this cannot be\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child placed one glowing hand against the dragon\u2019s face gently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the queen understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon was not obeying him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was protecting him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant roared desperately and charged forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the dragon moved first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One blast of crimson fire consumed half the battlefield instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The desert exploded into burning light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enemy soldiers scattered in terror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Siege beasts fled screaming into the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant raised both arms defensively\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">but the dragon flames melted straight through his black armor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The monster screamed in agony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the child stepped forward through the fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Calmly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dragon wings blazing behind him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou came here to destroy my home,\u201d the boy said softly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant collapsed to one knee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child stopped directly before him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo now you leave.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant glared upward hatefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou think this changes anything?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He coughed blood onto the sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Empire will keep coming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMore giants.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMore armies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYour kingdom will fall eventually.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child stared at him silently for several moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then quietly answered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNot while I\u2019m here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And with one final dragon-claw strike\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the giant\u2019s armor shattered completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shockwave echoed across the desert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The monster crashed lifelessly into the dunes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silence followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The enemy army broke instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thousands fled into the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The war was over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the child suddenly collapsed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon energy vanished immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The massive crimson dragon roared desperately before dissolving into burning embers across the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The queen crawled toward the boy in panic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHey!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She pulled him gently into her arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His body felt freezing cold now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The glowing marks across his skin were fading rapidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child weakly opened his eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the first time\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">he looked afraid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m sorry\u2026\u201d he whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The queen\u2019s voice broke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor what?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child stared weakly toward the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI couldn\u2019t save everyone\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around them\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the battlefield burned beneath the dying storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So many soldiers had fallen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So much destruction remained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The queen held him tighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou saved Ashkar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy slowly shook his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His voice weakened further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI only wanted\u2026 to save you\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The queen froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">she recognized something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shape of his eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The small silver pendant hanging beneath his torn shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Memory struck her like lightning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ten years ago\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">during the burning of the royal palace\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">her infant son had vanished during an assassination attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His body was never found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone believed he died in the fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But now\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her hands trembled violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She slowly touched the silver pendant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tears filled her eyes instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because she remembered it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She had placed that pendant around her baby\u2019s neck herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The queen stared down at the child in horror and disbelief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026Kael?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy\u2019s eyes widened weakly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He looked confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because nobody had ever called him that before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The queen began crying openly now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2019re my son\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The battlefield disappeared around her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">None of it mattered anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the child she mourned for ten years\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">had returned to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And barefoot beneath a dying desert storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy stared at her silently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then weakly whispered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026Mother?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The queen pulled him tightly against her chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her voice shattered completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes\u2026 I\u2019m here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around them\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ashkar\u2019s surviving soldiers slowly lowered their weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One by one\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">they knelt before the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not because of his power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not because of the dragon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But because the kingdom\u2019s lost prince had finally come home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And far above the battlefield\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">hidden beyond the breaking storm clouds\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
