&#8211; THE BEGGAR BOY WAS THROWN THROUGH THE CITY SQUARE BY ROYAL GUARDS"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the silence did not last long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because somewhere above the square\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the cathedral bells suddenly began ringing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sound echoed across the rain-covered capital like a warning from the heavens themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People instinctively stepped backward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even hardened soldiers exchanged uneasy glances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">General Vaelor slowly rose to his feet beside the child, his old eyes still locked onto the Dragon Mark glowing faintly beneath the rainwater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy looked confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Frightened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He tightened his grip around the stolen bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m not a prince,\u201d the child whispered weakly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His voice barely rose above the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI just stole food\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old general\u2019s expression cracked for the first time in decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the prince he once carried through the royal gardens had spoken exactly the same way whenever servants blamed him for sneaking sweets from the kitchens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vaelor\u2019s chest tightened painfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The infant had vanished during the Night of Ash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The night the royal palace burned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The night Queen Elira died screaming beneath collapsing towers while assassins slaughtered the dragon bloodline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The kingdom had been told the prince died in the flames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But now\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the impossible stood shivering in the mud before him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the guards nervously stepped forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGeneral\u2026 should we arrest the child?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vaelor turned slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The look in his eyes nearly stopped the man\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTouch him again,\u201d the old commander said quietly, \u201cand I will personally remove your hands.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The square fell dead silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody had heard General Vaelor speak with that kind of cold fury since the Dragon Wars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The guards instantly backed away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rain hammered harder across the stone streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">a voice thundered from the royal staircase above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat is the meaning of this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The crowd parted instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Royal knights descended the stairs in perfect formation while black cloaks whipped violently in the wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And at the center of them\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">stood Crown Regent Malrec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elegant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Terrifyingly calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silver rings glimmered across his pale fingers while a black royal cloak flowed behind him like smoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ruler of Ashkar since the disappearance of the royal family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The man who claimed the throne after the massacre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His sharp eyes immediately landed on the kneeling child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then on the Dragon Mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the briefest second\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">fear flickered across his face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it vanished almost instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The regent smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell,\u201d Malrec said softly, \u201cthis is unexpected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vaelor stepped protectively in front of the boy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old general\u2019s hand rested on the hilt of his sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe child comes with me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malrec slowly descended the final staircase step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd why,\u201d he asked calmly, \u201cwould the highest commander in Ashkar shield a street thief?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vaelor\u2019s jaw tightened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBecause he is the rightful heir.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whispers exploded through the crowd like wildfire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rightful heir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lost prince.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon bloodline survived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some people immediately fell to their knees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Others stared in horror toward the regent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because everyone understood what this meant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the child truly carried the Dragon Mark\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">then Malrec was not the true ruler of Ashkar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The regent\u2019s smile remained perfectly calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Too calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA dangerous accusation,\u201d he murmured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then his eyes lowered toward the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTell me, boy\u2026 what is your name?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child hesitated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026Ash.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The name struck Vaelor like lightning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Queen Elira had secretly called the infant prince \u201cAsh\u201d after the comet ash that fell from the sky the night he was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody else should have known that name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malrec noticed the old general\u2019s reaction instantly.<\/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 regent looked genuinely unsettled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rain intensified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thunder rolled above the city walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then somewhere deep beneath the streets\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">a roar echoed through Ashkar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ancient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inhuman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire square froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People looked around in terror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because every citizen of Ashkar knew the legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragons beneath the mountain had slept since the royal bloodline vanished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And now\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">something had awakened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash flinched as strange heat suddenly spread beneath the scar on his arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Dragon Mark began glowing brighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crimson light pulsed beneath his skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old general immediately grabbed the child protectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe need to leave. Now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Malrec raised one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hundreds of royal knights instantly surrounded the square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Steel hissed from scabbards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The crowd screamed and scattered backward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m afraid,\u201d the regent said quietly, \u201cthat cannot happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vaelor\u2019s eyes darkened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou would spill blood openly before the entire capital?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malrec stepped closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo,\u201d he whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI would protect the kingdom from another dragon war.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then he looked toward the soldiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSeize the boy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The knights charged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But before anyone reached Ash\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the ground violently shook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cracks exploded across the stone fountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People screamed as massive fractures tore through the square itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">a deafening roar erupted beneath the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sound was so enormous that windows shattered across nearby buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Horses collapsed in panic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The royal knights staggered backward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And from the ancient dragon tunnels beneath Ashkar\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">something gigantic began moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The square exploded upward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stone and fire erupted into the stormy sky as a colossal black shape burst through the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The crowd screamed in absolute terror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A dragon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An enormous ancient dragon covered in black scales and glowing crimson eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Larger than castle towers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its wings spread across the square like a living storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Royal knights dropped their weapons instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some fled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Others collapsed where they stood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because dragons had vanished from the world decades ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The creature lowered its gigantic head slowly toward the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toward Ash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">to the horror of the entire kingdom\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the dragon knelt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The city fell silent except for the rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash stared up at the beast with trembling eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon\u2019s enormous golden pupils reflected his tiny figure standing in the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then a voice echoed inside his mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not heard through ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Felt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ancient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>You survived.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash staggered backward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon carefully lowered its head further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vaelor\u2019s breathing shook violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He remembered this creature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nightfang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last royal dragon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The beast that once carried King Aldric through the skies during the final Dragon War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon everyone believed died protecting the royal family during the massacre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet somehow\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">it had waited beneath the city all these years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Waiting for the heir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malrec slowly stepped backward, genuine fear finally appearing in his eyes.<\/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\">\u201cThat\u2019s impossible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon suddenly turned toward the regent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And growled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sound alone shattered nearby stone pillars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash clutched his head as flashes exploded through his mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fire consuming palace halls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Screaming soldiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A woman crying while holding him tightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And a man\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">a man with silver rings covered in blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash gasped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His eyes snapped toward Malrec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The regent froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou killed her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The square went silent again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash\u2019s voice trembled violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy mother\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vaelor stared toward Malrec in horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old general had always suspected betrayal during the massacre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But never\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">never this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malrec\u2019s calm mask finally cracked apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes,\u201d he hissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes, I did.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Darkness suddenly spiraled around the regent\u2019s body like black smoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The crowd screamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several nearby soldiers collapsed instantly as shadow energy spread across the square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vaelor\u2019s face turned pale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShadow magic\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Forbidden magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ancient magic that consumed entire kingdoms during the old wars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malrec laughed softly while black energy twisted around his hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou think I spent twenty years ruling this kingdom just to kneel before a starving child?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon roared furiously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But before it attacked\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">black chains of magic erupted from beneath the square and wrapped around its body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon crashed against the broken streets with a thunderous scream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash cried out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Dragon Mark burned like fire across his arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malrec stepped forward slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou should have stayed forgotten, little prince.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vaelor drew his sword instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old general charged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite his age, he moved with terrifying speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Steel clashed against shadow magic in a burst of sparks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The square erupted into chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Royal knights loyal to Vaelor suddenly turned against Malrec\u2019s guards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Citizens fled through rain and fire while the dragon struggled violently against the magical chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash stumbled backward through the destruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fear overwhelmed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was not a prince.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was just a hungry child who stole bread to survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why was this happening?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">someone grabbed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A hooded woman emerged from the chaos and pulled him into a nearby alley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCome quickly!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash resisted instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWho are you?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The woman lowered her hood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Ash froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because she wore the royal crest around her neck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A silver dragon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tears filled her eyes as she looked at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou have your mother\u2019s eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The woman\u2019s name was Lyra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former royal guardian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the few survivors of the palace massacre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

city square burned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lyra pulled Ash deeper into the hidden tunnels beneath the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have to reach

Malrec reaches it first, the kingdom dies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Far above them\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nightfang roared again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The city shook violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, General Vaelor battled through waves of shadow soldiers in the ruined square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old commander bled heavily now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Age slowed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But rage kept him standing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou murdered the royal family,\u201d Vaelor growled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malrec smiled coldly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI saved Ashkar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shadow magic exploded outward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vaelor crashed through a shattered pillar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old general coughed blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malrec approached calmly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou know why the dragons disappeared?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The regent\u2019s eyes darkened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBecause the royal bloodline was never chosen to protect the dragons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He leaned closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe dragons were cages.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vaelor\u2019s expression changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malrec laughed softly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe first kings of Ashkar imprisoned something beneath the mountain centuries ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thunder exploded above the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe dragons existed only to keep it asleep.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vaelor slowly realized the horrifying truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The royal bloodline had never controlled dragons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They had restrained them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And now the seal was weakening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the heir had returned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malrec spread his arms toward the burning capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen the mountain opens\u2026 I will control what lies beneath it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old general\u2019s blood ran cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Void Dragon\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The regent smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deep beneath Ashkar\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lyra guided Ash through ancient tunnels covered in dragon carvings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The deeper they traveled, the hotter the air became.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash\u2019s Dragon Mark burned brighter with every step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then finally\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the tunnels opened into a colossal underground chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash stopped breathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A massive black throne stood at the center of the cavern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Behind it\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">an enormous stone gate covered in chains pulsed with crimson light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And from behind the gate\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">something breathed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Massive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ancient beyond imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash felt terror crawl into his chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat is that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lyra looked toward the gate fearfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe first dragon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the chamber shook violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malrec emerged from the darkness behind them surrounded by shadow flames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blood stained his armor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And in one hand\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">he carried General Vaelor\u2019s broken sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash\u2019s face turned pale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhere\u2019s the general?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malrec\u2019s silence answered everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lyra drew twin blades instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But shadow chains pierced through her chest before she reached him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash screamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lyra collapsed beside the throne, blood spreading across the stone floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet even dying\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">she smiled at him gently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRun\u2026 my prince\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malrec stepped toward the gate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe kingdom spent centuries worshipping lies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He placed his hand against the ancient chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTonight, Ashkar becomes eternal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The chains began breaking apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One by one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mountain trembled violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire capital above began collapsing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash looked toward Lyra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toward the dying woman who protected him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toward the kingdom burning above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then finally\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">toward the gate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">he understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragons were not monsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They were guardians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the royal bloodline was never meant to rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was meant to sacrifice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tears filled Ash\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because he finally remembered his mother\u2019s last words during the massacre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cProtect the kingdom\u2026 no matter what happens to us.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gate exploded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Darkness flooded into the chamber like liquid night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And something enormous opened its eyes beyond the broken seal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Void Dragon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its body seemed made from living shadow and stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its wings stretched endlessly through darkness itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One glance from the creature caused the cavern walls to crack apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malrec fell to his knees laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the dragon ignored him completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its ancient eyes focused only on Ash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child trembled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then slowly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the Void Dragon lowered its colossal head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And spoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou are the final heir.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash\u2019s voice shook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHow do I stop this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The creature stared at him silently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo seal the gate\u2026 the heir must choose eternity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malrec suddenly realized the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Void Dragon continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe guardian king must become the new chain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash finally understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To save Ashkar\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">he would lose himself forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malrec screamed furiously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo! I did not wait twenty years for THIS!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shadow magic exploded wildly across the chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But before Malrec reached the throne\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nightfang crashed through the cavern ceiling above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The black dragon seized the regent in its jaws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malrec\u2019s screams echoed briefly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">before dragon fire consumed him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then silence returned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only the trembling mountain remained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash looked toward the Void Dragon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toward the throne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And slowly stepped forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tears rolled down his dirty face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was only eight years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He had never owned a bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Never known his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Never even eaten until full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And now\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">he had to save an entire kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Dragon Mark glowed brighter than the sun itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The throne awakened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ancient chains of light spiraled around Ash gently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Void Dragon closed its eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the mountain began sealing once more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stone covered the broken gate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The darkness faded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The world slowly became quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash felt himself disappearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coldness spread through his body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">someone grabbed his hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">General Vaelor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bleeding heavily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old commander had survived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Behind him stood Lyra as well, weakened but breathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nightfang roared beside them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vaelor gripped the child tightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old general\u2019s eyes burned fiercely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou are not dying today, my prince.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Dragon Mark suddenly blazed violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And for the first time in centuries\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the ancient throne reacted differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the kingdom had misunderstood the prophecy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The heir was never meant to sacrifice himself alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The throne required loyalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vaelor placed his hand against the throne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then Lyra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then Nightfang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Golden light exploded through the chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ancient seal stabilized instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Void Dragon slowly smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA kingdom united\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The darkness vanished completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gate sealed forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Ash collapsed unconscious into Vaelor\u2019s arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three days later\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the storms above Ashkar finally ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Citizens gathered silently across the repaired city square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The black banners of the false regent had been torn down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And standing atop the royal staircase\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">wearing clean royal clothes for the first time in his life\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">stood Ash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still barefoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still staring nervously at the enormous crowd before him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">General Vaelor knelt beside him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not from duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From pride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then slowly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the entire kingdom knelt too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thousands upon thousands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not to a perfect king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not to a warrior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But to the starving little boy who chose to save people who once treated him like dirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash looked across the city silently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then finally smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And high above the capital\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nightfang soared through the
