Crimson cracks glowed beneath the dragon-shaped plates covering his arms and chest. Rain hissed against the armor as though the metal itself was burning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The soldiers of Ravenblack stared in horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because every child in the kingdom grew up hearing stories about the Dragon Bloodline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stories whispered beside fires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stories the crown had forbidden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They said dragon heirs could survive wounds that killed ordinary men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They said their armor was alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They said the last Dragon King once burned an entire army simply by breathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the royal historians claimed all dragon heirs were exterminated decades ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A myth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A dead bloodline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet the child standing inside the ruined gate looked very real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And worse\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">he looked furious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">General Varos stepped forward through the smoke first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gray-haired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wrapped in crimson steel armor lined with wolf fur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The commander of Ravenblack Fortress had spent thirty years crushing rebellions across the continent. Thousands feared him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But as he stared at the boy\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">a single drop of sweat slid down his neck.<\/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\">The dragon helmet covering his face cracked open slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enough for one cold blue eye to become visible beneath the shadows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou have something that belongs to me,\u201d the boy said quietly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His voice did not sound like a child\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It sounded older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heavy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like distant thunder trapped inside a tomb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">General Varos tightened his grip around his sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou destroyed a royal fortress gate,\u201d he growled. \u201cDo you understand the punishment for treason?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy glanced at the burning courtyard around him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI didn\u2019t come here for your kingdom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then he pointed toward the tallest tower of Ravenblack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI came for my sister.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The courtyard fell silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Varos froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only a handful of people inside Ravenblack even knew about the prisoner hidden inside the upper tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And none of them were supposed to leave alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The general\u2019s expression darkened instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo the rumors were true,\u201d he muttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy took one slow step forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ground cracked beneath the dragon armor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBring her to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Varos suddenly roared:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKILL HIM!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hundreds of soldiers charged simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spears lowered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arrows fired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">War hammers raised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy did not move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not until the first spear reached him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the dragon armor inhaled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That was the only way witnesses later described it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The black armor expanded slightly as glowing cracks spread across its surface like veins waking beneath skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A deep sound echoed from inside the metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not mechanical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Breathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And one second later\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">black fire exploded outward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The front line of soldiers vanished instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not burned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reduced to drifting ash before they even had time to scream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shockwave hurled armored knights across the courtyard hard enough to break stone walls apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Panic erupted everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDRAGON FIRE!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGET BACK!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMONSTER!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child walked forward through the flames slowly while arrows melted before touching him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Varos staggered backward in horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because he finally recognized the armor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ancient black scales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dragon-shaped shoulders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crimson core glowing beneath the chestplate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Armor of Vhaldrake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cursed armor that disappeared after the Dragon War ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The armor the royal family spent thirty years searching for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The armor that was never supposed to awaken again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And somehow\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">a child had bonded with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Varos realized something terrifying then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the boy truly wore Vhaldrake Armor\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">then the stories about the Dragon King might have been true after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The general immediately turned toward his captains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cProtect the tower!\u201d he shouted desperately. \u201cDo not let him reach the girl!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it was already too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy moved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One second he stood inside the burning courtyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">he crashed through three soldiers fast enough to explode their armor apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon armor amplified every movement with monstrous force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stone shattered beneath his feet each time he stepped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Swords snapped against his skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Men flew through walls like broken dolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And through all the chaos\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the boy\u2019s expression never changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not rage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not excitement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only determination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like someone walking through a storm they had already accepted long ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside the upper tower\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">a girl heard the screaming below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She slowly lifted her head from the prison floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chains wrapped around both wrists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silver hair tangled across her face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thin from weeks without sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But her eyes\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">her eyes glowed faintly gold in the darkness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lena pressed herself against the bars as explosions echoed through Ravenblack Fortress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then she heard it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heavy footsteps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The prison guards outside suddenly panicked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe\u2019s here!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo\u2014NO\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A violent crash shook the tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The iron prison door flew across the hallway hard enough to crush two guards instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smoke poured into the corridor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And through the smoke\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">walked the boy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lena stared at him silently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon armor covering his body looked terrifying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Massive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ancient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Almost inhuman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But she recognized the blue eyes behind the cracked helmet instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKai\u2026\u201d she whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy stopped moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the first time since entering Ravenblack\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">his expression softened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI told you I\u2019d come back,\u201d he said quietly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lena suddenly burst into tears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because three months earlier\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">royal soldiers burned their village to the ground searching for dragon descendants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their parents died buying time for Kai and Lena to escape through the mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the royal hunters captured Lena before they reached the border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kai had vanished afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone assumed he died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even Lena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet somehow\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">he returned wearing the most feared armor in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kai stepped toward the chains around her wrists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon armor touched the metal lightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The chains melted instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lena stared at him nervously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKai\u2026 what happened to you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy hesitated.<\/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\">fear flickered inside his eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLater,\u201d he whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the tower suddenly shook violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A deep horn echoed across Ravenblack Fortress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kai\u2019s expression darkened immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey woke him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Far below the fortress\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">massive iron doors began opening beneath the mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ancient chains rattled through darkness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soldiers fled the underground tunnels in terror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because Ravenblack Fortress guarded more than prisoners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It guarded a weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Something the kingdom had hidden beneath the mountain for twenty years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">General Varos stood near the courtyard bleeding heavily from one arm while staring toward the underground gate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRelease the Titan,\u201d he ordered weakly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One captain looked horrified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut General\u2014if it escapes\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt won\u2019t,\u201d Varos snapped. \u201cThe beast only wants dragon blood.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mountain trembled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then something enormous began climbing upward through the darkness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kai grabbed Lena\u2019s hand instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe need to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But before they could move\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the tower wall exploded inward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A gigantic claw smashed through the stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lena screamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kai shoved her backward just as the entire upper floor collapsed apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And rising outside the tower\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">stood a monster large enough to dwarf the fortress walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black scales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Golden eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Broken chains hanging from its neck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A dragon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not a full-grown one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But still enormous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its wings stretched across the storm sky while smoke poured from its nostrils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The soldiers below immediately panicked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because dragons were extinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or at least\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">they were supposed to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The beast fixed its glowing eyes directly onto Kai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then it roared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sound shook the entire mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lena stared in horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKai\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the boy\u2019s face had gone pale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not from fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon lowered its head slowly toward him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">to everyone\u2019s shock\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">it spoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLittle prince,\u201d the dragon growled softly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire fortress fell silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Varos looked horrified.<\/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\">Kai clenched his fists tightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m not a prince anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon\u2019s golden eyes narrowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou carry the king\u2019s blood.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lena looked between them in confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKai\u2026 what is this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy stayed silent for several seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rain poured across the shattered tower while fire burned below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kai removed the dragon helmet completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI lied to you,\u201d he whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lena stared at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur parents weren\u2019t villagers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon behind him exhaled smoke slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kai\u2019s voice trembled slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey were the last king and queen of the Dragon Bloodline.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lena froze completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe crown murdered them after the war,\u201d Kai continued. \u201cBut they hid us before the kingdom found out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every memory suddenly crashed together inside Lena\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their parents constantly moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Never staying in one village long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strange symbols hidden beneath the floorboards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nights their mother cried while staring toward the mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The way soldiers always seemed too interested in their family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKai\u2026\u201d Lena whispered shakily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon lowered itself beside the tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe humans feared dragon blood,\u201d it growled. \u201cSo they slaughtered every heir they could find.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">General Varos suddenly screamed from below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKill them all!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ballista weapons turned upward immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Massive iron bolts launched toward the tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon spread one wing protectively across Kai and Lena as explosions tore through the stone behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the beast roared in fury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

collapsed into flames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soldiers fled in absolute terror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kai grabbed Lena tightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re leaving.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon lowered one claw beside them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lena hesitated only briefly before climbing onto the beast\u2019s back beside her brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon launched itself into the storm sky moments later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below them\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ravenblack Fortress burned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Kai never looked back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because he knew the kingdom would never stop hunting them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

declared war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Royal messengers spread across every major city carrying the same announcement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">THE DRAGON HEIRS HAVE RETURNED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CAPTURE THEM DEAD OR ALIVE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rewards larger than entire villages were offered for information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mercenaries flooded the mountains searching for the siblings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And worse\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the king himself awakened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King Aldric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The man responsible for exterminating the Dragon Bloodline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The man who murdered Kai\u2019s parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The man the entire continent feared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside the royal capital of Valemir\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aldric stood silently beside a massive window overlooking the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Old now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But still terrifying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silver armor covered his body while scars stretched

one person in history ever fully bonded with Vhaldrake Armor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Dragon King himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kai\u2019s father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And according to the king\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">that man died twenty years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deep within the northern mountains\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kai sat beside a fire while Lena slept nearby beneath dragon wings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Snow fell softly outside the cave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon watched the boy silently for a long time before speaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou should tell her the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kai stared into the fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShe

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silence filled the cave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kai finally pulled back one glove slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black cracks had spread across his arm beneath the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like veins made from ash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lena\u2019s eyes opened suddenly from across the cave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And she saw everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKai\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon lowered its head sadly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cVhaldrake Armor grants enormous power,\u201d the beast said softly. \u201cBut human bodies cannot survive bonding with it forever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lena rushed toward her brother in panic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat does that mean?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kai looked away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt means I\u2019m

remained silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which terrified her even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kai gently grabbed her hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lena hugged him immediately while tears rolled down her face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And for the first time since Ravenblack\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kai finally looked scared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not of soldiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not of war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But of leaving his little sister alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One week later\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the royal army found them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thousands of soldiers surrounded the frozen valley before dawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ballistas lined the cliffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">War banners snapped through blizzard winds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And standing at the front of the army\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">was King Aldric himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon growled deeply from atop the cliffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe came personally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kai slowly stood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black cracks had spread across half his neck now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The armor pulsed weakly around him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lena grabbed his arm desperately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDon\u2019t fight him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kai stared down at the army below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe don\u2019t have a choice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King Aldric removed his helmet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And shouted upward:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKAI!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the soldiers looked confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kai stepped forward slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king slowly raised one scarred hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Dragon War was never about conquest,\u201d he said heavily. \u201cYour father was losing control of the armor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI WILL NOT DIE AGAIN.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The valley shook violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ancient power exploded outward hard enough to crack the mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The armor had awakened completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But through all the pain\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kai still heard Lena crying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still remembered his mother smiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still remembered the promise he made inside the prison tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I came back for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And somehow\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">that mattered more than power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than rage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than revenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kai slowly forced himself upright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The armor screamed louder inside his mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the boy grabbed the dragon chestplate with both hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And pulled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The black metal tore against his skin violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blood covered the snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lena screamed for him to stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The armor fought desperately to stay attached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Kai kept pulling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every emotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every ounce of love he had left\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">he used it to fight back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until finally\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the chestplate cracked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A blinding explosion erupted across the valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black fire shot into the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mountain trembled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Snow drifted softly through the ruined valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The soldiers slowly opened their eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The black armor was gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only fragments remained scattered across the snow like dead scales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And lying at the center of the crater\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">was Kai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Motionless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lena ran toward him instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKAI!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She dropped beside him sobbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the boy coughed weakly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lena burst into tears laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon lowered its massive head beside them quietly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King Aldric approached slowly through the snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For several seconds\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">nobody spoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the old king removed his crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And knelt before the children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every soldier in the valley stared in shock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe kingdom failed your family,\u201d Aldric said softly. \u201cI cannot undo that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He placed the crown into the snow before Kai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut the Dragon Bloodline deserves to live.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kai looked at the crown weakly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then slowly pushed it back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t want a throne.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aldric stared at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThen what do you want?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kai looked toward Lena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toward the dragon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toward the sunrise slowly breaking across the mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And after everything\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">after war, betrayal, fire, and death\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the twelve-year-old boy finally smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA future,\u201d he whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And for the first time in decades\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the kingdom chose peace instead of fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The
