THE GRANDMASTER STOOD UP IN FEAR WHEN HE SAW THE BOY\u2019S FOOTWORK.<\/strong>
Because the child was using a sword style that had vanished with the dead royal bloodline twenty years earlier.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The royal arena remained frozen in silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broken steel covered the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dust drifted slowly through the cold gray air while stunned nobles stared at the impossible sight before them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eight elite knights\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

all defeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not by a legendary warrior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not by a royal commander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But by a starving barefoot child holding nothing except a wooden practice sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boy stood silently at the center of the arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thin shoulders rising slowly with each breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dirty black hair swaying gently across his bruised face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And around him\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

armored knights struggled to stand through the wreckage of shattered weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nobody understood what they had just witnessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

high above the arena\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

someone suddenly stood from the royal balcony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An old man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long silver hair tied behind his back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black ceremonial robes flowing heavily in the wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire arena immediately fell even quieter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because everyone recognized him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grandmaster Vael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kingdom\u2019s greatest sword instructor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man who trained Ashkar\u2019s royal army for over thirty years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old master stared directly at the child below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But unlike everyone else\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

he wasn\u2019t shocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was terrified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His aged hands trembled slightly against the balcony railing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whisper barely escaped his lips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat stance\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below him\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the child slowly opened his eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cold blue-gray eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emotionless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for one brief second\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the grandmaster felt his heart nearly stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because he had seen those eyes once before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twenty years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the battlefield where the royal bloodline of House Ravenor had supposedly been exterminated forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A noble beside him laughed nervously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cImpressive trick for a beggar child.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Grandmaster Vael never answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His eyes remained locked on the boy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watching every movement carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The way the child shifted his feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The way his shoulders relaxed before striking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The way he breathed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not like a street fighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not like a soldier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But like someone trained in the ancient royal sword art forbidden by the kingdom itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the arena gates exploded open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BOOOOOOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heavy iron doors slammed against the walls as dozens of armored royal guards stormed into the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crowd gasped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At their center\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Kaelor entered slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Massive black armor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red war cape dragging behind him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A giant execution blade resting across one shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The atmosphere changed instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even wounded knights backed away fearfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because Kaelor was not merely a general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was the man who personally led the slaughter of the Ravenor bloodline twenty years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

his cold eyes locked onto the barefoot child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For several seconds\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

silence consumed the arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Kaelor finally spoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWho taught you that sword style?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boy said nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaelor stepped closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His armored boots crushed broken steel beneath each step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI asked you a question.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the child remained silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only gripping the wooden sword slightly tighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some nobles began laughing again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA mute beggar?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProbably stole the technique from watching soldiers train.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Grandmaster Vael suddenly shouted from above,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNO!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire arena froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old grandmaster slowly descended the royal stairs with visible fear in his eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When he reached the battlefield floor\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

he stopped only a few feet from the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to everyone\u2019s shock\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the old master bowed slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crowd erupted instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe grandmaster bowed?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaelor\u2019s expression darkened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vael stared directly at the boy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And quietly asked,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat is your name?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first time\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the child finally spoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One soft sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAsh.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name struck the old master like lightning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because twenty years earlier\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the last surviving prince of House Ravenor had carried the exact same name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prince Asher Ravenor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The child who supposedly died during the royal purge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaelor immediately noticed the fear in Vael\u2019s face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His hand slowly tightened around the hilt of his execution sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat did you realize?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vael hesitated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire arena waited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the old grandmaster whispered,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat sword style\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His voice trembled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026belongs only to the royal bloodline.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complete silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then chaos erupted across the arena stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cImpossible!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Ravenors are dead!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKill the child immediately!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaelor\u2019s killing intent exploded outward like fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The massive general drew his gigantic black blade slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHHHHHNK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sound echoed through the arena like thunder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash finally lifted his head fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for the first time\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

people saw something terrifying inside the boy\u2019s calm eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not panic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As if he already knew exactly who Kaelor was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The general pointed his sword directly at the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRemove your shirt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arena grew tense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash didn\u2019t move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaelor\u2019s voice became colder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two royal guards stepped forward violently and grabbed the boy\u2019s torn clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RIIIP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fabric tore apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the entire arena gasped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because burned across the child\u2019s shoulder\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

hidden beneath years of dirt and scars\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

was the black dragon crest of House Ravenor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The royal symbol thought erased from history forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women screamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nobles staggered backward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some soldiers immediately dropped to one knee in terror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaelor\u2019s face slowly twisted with rage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo one survived.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash stared directly at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And quietly asked,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou remember my family?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The general laughed coldly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI remember burning your palace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boy\u2019s fingers tightened around the wooden sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arena suddenly felt colder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaelor stepped forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI killed your father myself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grandmaster Vael immediately shouted,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSTOP!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it was too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the moment those words reached Ash\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

something changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wind exploded violently across the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BOOOOOOOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dust spiraled upward around the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue energy streaks began crawling across the wooden sword in his hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crowd screamed in panic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaelor narrowed his eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo the rumors were true\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ancient stories whispered that the Ravenor bloodline possessed something beyond swordsmanship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A power called Echo Flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A terrifying combat instinct that allowed its wielder to move faster than human eyes could track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

for the first time in twenty years\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

that power awakened again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash slowly raised the wooden sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue energy crackled across the blade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cheap wood should have shattered instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

it began glowing brighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arena floor trembled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaelor smiled darkly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the giant general vanished forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BOOOOOOOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stone exploded beneath his feet as the massive warrior crossed the battlefield instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His execution blade swung downward hard enough to split a horse in half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Ash moved first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHHHHHK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A blue streak flashed sideways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The giant sword slammed into empty ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BOOOOOOOOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stone shattered apart across the arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crowd screamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaelor turned immediately\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

just in time to block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CLAAAAANG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wooden sword struck his massive execution blade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And shockwaves exploded outward across the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone\u2019s eyes widened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the wooden sword didn\u2019t break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

tiny cracks spread across Kaelor\u2019s black steel weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The general stepped backward in disbelief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash stood several feet away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the child vanished again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BOOOOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue afterimages erupted across the battlefield faster and faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dozens of blurred versions of the child appeared around Kaelor simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The general spun violently trying to track him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHHHHK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A glowing slash tore across Kaelor\u2019s armor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CLANG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CLANG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CLANG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The giant general staggered backward under an impossible storm of strikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crowd watched in absolute disbelief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A starving child was overwhelming the kingdom\u2019s strongest warrior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaelor roared furiously and unleashed a massive shockwave swing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BOOOOOOOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arena floor cracked apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue afterimages disappeared instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silence returned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a single drop of blood slid down Kaelor\u2019s cheek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The general froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So did everyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because Ash now stood directly behind him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden sword lowered calmly at his side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A thin glowing line slowly spread across Kaelor\u2019s black armor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grandmaster Vael\u2019s eyes widened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CRAAAAACK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The giant armor split apart completely from shoulder to waist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crowd erupted in horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaelor staggered forward coughing blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By an eight-year-old child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Royal guards immediately rushed forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtect the general!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKill the boy!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hundreds of soldiers flooded into the arena from every direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash slowly turned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alone against an army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet his expression never changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaelor dropped to one knee breathing heavily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

he started laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A deep broken laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone froze in confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The general wiped blood from his mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou really are his son\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash\u2019s eyes narrowed slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaelor slowly looked up at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And whispered,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour father begged me to save you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The child froze for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaelor coughed violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat night\u2026 the palace was already lost.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arena became deathly quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grandmaster Vael stared in shock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaelor continued weakly,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe king ordered every Ravenor child executed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash\u2019s grip tightened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou killed them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaelor nodded slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

his voice broke unexpectedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut not willingly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crowd stared in disbelief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaelor slowly removed a chain hidden beneath his armor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Attached to it\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

was half of a broken royal crest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The matching half of House Ravenor\u2019s symbol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash\u2019s eyes widened slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour father gave me this before the palace burned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaelor looked directly at the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe knew there was a traitor inside the royal court.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grandmaster Vael suddenly stepped backward in horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because he finally understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaelor pointed weakly toward the royal balcony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toward the throne itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe man who betrayed your bloodline\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone turned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

King Valen sat silently above the arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expression cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unmoving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the king began clapping slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CLAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CLAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CLAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sound echoed across the silent arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fear spread instantly across the nobles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the king showed no surprise whatsoever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As if he had expected all of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valen slowly rose from the throne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou finally figured it out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grandmaster Vael whispered,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour Majesty\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The king smiled faintly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then said the words nobody expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was never the rightful king.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shock exploded through the arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twenty years earlier\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

King Valen had claimed House Ravenor died during a rebellion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But now\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the horrifying truth surfaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There had never been a rebellion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only betrayal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valen descended the royal stairs slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou know what made your family dangerous, child?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash stared at him silently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The king\u2019s smile widened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour bloodline could awaken the Dragon Gate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Murmurs spread instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ancient legends told of a hidden power buried beneath Ashkar itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A force capable of destroying kingdoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valen\u2019s eyes darkened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo I exterminated every Ravenor I could find.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaelor struggled to stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou murdered children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valen shrugged coldly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd I would do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The king slowly drew a thin silver blade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike Kaelor\u2019s massive weapon\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

this sword radiated something far more dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dark blue energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grandmaster Vael\u2019s face lost all color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Dragon Fang\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legendary royal blade vanished alongside House Ravenor twenty years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet somehow\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

King Valen possessed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash stared at the sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

pain exploded through his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fragments of memory flashed violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A woman screaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His father kneeling before Kaelor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a silver blade piercing straight through his father\u2019s chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash staggered slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the man holding that sword\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

had not been Kaelor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It had been the king himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valen smiled calmly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow you remember.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The child\u2019s breathing became unstable for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The king raised Dragon Fang slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou survived longer than expected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue energy erupted violently around the blade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arena trembled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even Kaelor\u2019s face filled with fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because Dragon Fang was not merely a sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It amplified the life force of whoever wielded it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valen pointed the blade toward Ash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the king vanished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BOOOOOOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The royal arena exploded apart beneath the force of his movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash barely reacted in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CLAAAAANG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden sword and Dragon Fang collided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A shockwave ripped across the arena hard enough to throw soldiers backward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash\u2019s feet slid violently across the stone floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His eyes widened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The king was fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Far faster than Kaelor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valen attacked again instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHHHHK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue slashes erupted across the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash barely avoided death multiple times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stone pillars collapsed apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arena walls cracked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crowd fled screaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grandmaster Vael shouted desperately,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAsh! Don\u2019t let him control the rhythm!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Valen smiled coldly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The king\u2019s movements accelerated unnaturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dragon Fang screamed through the air like lightning itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHHHHK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A deep slash tore across Ash\u2019s shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blood splattered onto the arena floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crowd gasped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The child staggered backward breathing hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valen walked forward calmly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou are still incomplete.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash gripped the wooden sword tighter despite the blood running down his arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The king tilted his head slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo you know why your father lost?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash remained silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valen\u2019s smile widened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause the Dragon Gate was never beneath the kingdom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arena fell still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the king pointed directly at the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was inside your bloodline.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grandmaster Vael froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaelor\u2019s eyes widened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Ash finally understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ravenors had never guarded some hidden weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They themselves were the weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valen raised Dragon Fang slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf I consume the last Ravenor\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue energy exploded across his body violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026I become unstoppable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The king charged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BOOOOOOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The battlefield shattered beneath him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash forced himself forward despite the pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wood and silver collided again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CLANG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CLANG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CLANG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shockwaves tore through the collapsing arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Ash was slowing down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bleeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exhausted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valen noticed immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grandmaster Vael stepped forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old master drew his own blade for the first time in decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAsh!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The child looked toward him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vael\u2019s eyes softened sadly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour father once saved my life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old man raised his sword toward the king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo today\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue energy began gathering around the grandmaster\u2019s blade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026I will repay that debt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valen\u2019s expression darkened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou dare betray your king?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vael answered calmly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old master lowered into a sword stance beside the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI betray a monster.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arena exploded into motion again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Master and child attacked together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One ancient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet their movements synchronized perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like two halves of the same forgotten sword style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valen\u2019s eyes widened for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because he realized something horrifying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vael had secretly preserved the Ravenor sword art all these years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hoping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a survivor to return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CLANG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CLANG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHHHHK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three blue streaks crossed the battlefield simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valen finally began losing ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash\u2019s speed increased again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More precise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wooden sword now glowed like burning blue fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The king roared furiously and unleashed a massive energy wave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BOOOOOOOOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arena collapsed apart completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stone exploded everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grandmaster Vael was thrown violently backward into the rubble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAgh!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash turned instinctively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Valen smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because that tiny distraction\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

was all he needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHHHHHK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dragon Fang pierced straight through the child\u2019s chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blood dripped slowly onto the shattered arena floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crowd stared in horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valen exhaled slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt last.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash\u2019s body trembled weakly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The king leaned closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And whispered,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Ravenor bloodline ends here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

something impossible happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The child smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Very slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valen froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the wound\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

was not bleeding correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash slowly looked up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue light began spreading beneath his skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not fading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing brighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The king\u2019s expression finally cracked with fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat\u2026 are you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the wooden sword shattered apart completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And hidden inside the broken wood\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

rested a second blade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A black sword covered in ancient blue markings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real Ravenor weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crowd gasped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grandmaster Vael stared in disbelief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Nightfang\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash slowly pulled Dragon Fang from his chest himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wound immediately began healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valen stepped backward in horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo\u2026 impossible\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the child quietly spoke the words that changed everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy father didn\u2019t ask Kaelor to save me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue energy exploded across the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe asked him to hide me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The storm above Ashkar erupted violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lightning crashed across the heavens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the black sword awakened fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BOOOOOOOOOOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A massive pillar of blue light shot into the sky from the arena itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire kingdom trembled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Citizens screamed outside the palace walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because deep beneath Ashkar\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

something enormous had awakened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valen staggered backward in terror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou opened it\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash raised Nightfang slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And behind him\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a gigantic spectral dragon began forming from blue fire across the storm clouds above the kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crowd fell to their knees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not from fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From instinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because every person present suddenly understood the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ravenors had never ruled through politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They ruled because the Dragon itself chose them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash stared directly at the king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou stole the throne.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dragon\u2019s glowing eyes opened behind him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo I\u2019m taking it back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valen screamed and charged desperately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dragon Fang burning wildly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Ash moved once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHHHHHHK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The battlefield fell silent instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valen froze mid-step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His silver blade cracked slowly apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the king collapsed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The storm above the kingdom vanished immediately afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soft sunlight finally broke through the gray clouds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash stood silently in the ruined arena while the spectral dragon slowly disappeared into the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

one by one\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

soldiers across the battlefield knelt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not to the throne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grandmaster Vael slowly smiled through tears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaelor lowered his head respectfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for the first time in twenty years\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the kingdom of Ashkar finally bowed before its true king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
