&#8211; THE SOLDIERS FORCED THE BOY TO OPEN THE FORBIDDEN COFFIN"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The underground tomb trembled like a dying beast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dust rained endlessly from the black ceiling while crimson symbols pulsed across the ancient stone walls one after another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The soldiers could barely breathe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some stumbled backward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Others dropped their swords entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because kneeling before the ragged barefoot child\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">was General Kaelor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The legendary Dragon Knight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same warrior whose name had terrified kingdoms centuries ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same monster parents used in bedtime warnings to frighten children into obedience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And according to every royal record\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor had died three hundred years earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet now the colossal warrior knelt silently before the boy like a loyal servant before his king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy prince\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ancient voice echoed through the underground tomb like distant thunder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The soldiers froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the crimson lightning flashing across the walls seemed to hesitate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy\u2019s dirty face remained hidden beneath tangled black hair as confusion twisted painfully inside him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prince?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody had ever called him that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not in the freezing mines where he slept beside corpses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not in the filthy prison carts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not while soldiers beat him for stealing scraps of bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His name was Ash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That was all he had ever known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A starving orphan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nothing more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Captain Varric suddenly stepped forward through the smoke, his armored boots scraping violently across the stone floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo\u2026\u201d the captain whispered fearfully. \u201cThat cannot be possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sweat dripped down his face despite the freezing cold flooding the chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He stared at the boy like he was staring directly into a nightmare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then his fear became rage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKill the child!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The soldiers hesitated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody moved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor slowly lifted his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The glowing crimson eyes beneath the cracked black helmet ignited brighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The temperature inside the tomb dropped instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One soldier screamed as frost suddenly spread across his armor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another dropped his sword when the steel began glowing red-hot in his hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor stood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gigantic warrior towered over everyone in the chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black dragon symbols blazed across the ancient armor wrapped around his massive body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The chains hanging from his shoulders rattled violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">he reached toward the nearest soldier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The terrified man raised his spear desperately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cStay back!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor crushed the weapon effortlessly with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire tomb shook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The soldiers panicked instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRUN!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chaos exploded through the chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Men crashed into each other trying to escape the forbidden tomb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Torches rolled across the stone floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Armor clanged violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One soldier slipped into the crimson fog and vanished screaming into darkness somewhere below the catacombs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Captain Varric backed away slowly while gripping his sword with trembling hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2026\u201d he whispered toward the child. \u201cWhat are you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash couldn\u2019t answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because deep inside his chest\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">something impossible had begun awakening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A strange burning sensation spread through his veins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not painful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ancient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like something sleeping inside him had finally opened its eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor turned slowly toward the boy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant warrior lowered himself onto one knee once more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI failed your bloodline once,\u201d he said quietly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI will not fail you again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BOOOOOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The underground tomb exploded violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stone pillars cracked apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dust erupted through the chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone looked upward in horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ceiling was collapsing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMove!\u201d Kaelor roared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant warrior grabbed Ash instantly and shielded the child beneath his armored body as enormous chunks of stone crashed around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The soldiers screamed while the catacombs collapsed into chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Captain Varric barely escaped beneath a falling archway before the tunnel behind him sealed shut completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Darkness swallowed the tomb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silence followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash slowly opened his eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The air smelled like ash, blood, and ancient dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor still knelt over him protectively beneath the shattered ruins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant warrior slowly stood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe must leave immediately, my prince.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash stared upward fearfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m not a prince.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor became silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the ancient warrior reached slowly toward the child\u2019s neck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From beneath Ash\u2019s torn shirt\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">he pulled a broken silver pendant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A dragon crest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash\u2019s eyes widened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pendant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His mother had given it to him before she died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He had worn it his entire life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor\u2019s voice lowered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe blood of House Vaelorin still survives\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash\u2019s heart pounded violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy mother said it belonged to my father.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor slowly closed his hand around the pendant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYour father was King Alaric Vaelorin.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The world stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash stared blankly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Kaelor\u2019s burning crimson eyes never moved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe last true king.\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\">war horns suddenly echoed through the catacombs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Captain Varric had survived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And now the kingdom knew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The heir of the Dragon Throne was alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rain hammered the capital city of Ashkar as royal bells rang wildly across the kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Citizens flooded the streets in confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soldiers sealed the gates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black banners bearing the royal crest of King Mordren whipped violently through the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside the throne hall\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King Mordren stood motionless before the burning fireplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Terrifying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king\u2019s silver crown reflected the flames beneath his pale eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Captain Varric knelt before him, bruised and bleeding from the collapsed tomb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe coffin opened, Your Majesty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd Kaelor?\u201d the king asked quietly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Varric swallowed hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe knelt before the child.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The throne hall froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearby nobles whispered fearfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One woman nearly dropped her wine goblet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King Mordren remained motionless for several long seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then slowly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the old king smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not with surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With exhaustion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs expected,\u201d he whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Varric looked upward in confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy king?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mordren stepped toward the massive stained-glass window overlooking the storm-covered capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI always wondered when the coffin would awaken.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lightning flashed across the throne hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king\u2019s reflection darkened against the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then he spoke words that froze the entire room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPrepare the Black Guard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nobles erupted instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYour Majesty!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf the people discover the heir lives\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere will be civil war!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mordren raised one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silence returned immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old king\u2019s voice became quieter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBring me the child alive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd Kaelor?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the first time\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">fear flickered across the king\u2019s face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPray the ancient knight remembers who sealed him inside that coffin.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deep beneath the kingdom, Kaelor guided Ash through forgotten tunnels hidden below the catacombs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant warrior carried an ancient black sword across his back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every step shook loose dust from the ceiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash struggled to keep up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His bare feet bled against the cold stone floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Questions burned endlessly inside him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">he spoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf I\u2019m truly the prince\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His voice trembled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhy did my mother hide me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor became silent for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the ancient warrior answered quietly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBecause your bloodline was hunted.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tunnels opened into an enormous underground chamber filled with ancient dragon statues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crimson fire ignited automatically across the walls as they entered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash stared in wonder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor stopped before one massive stone carving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A king holding a sword toward the heavens while dragons flew behind him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThree hundred years ago,\u201d Kaelor said slowly, \u201cHouse Vaelorin ruled this kingdom beside the dragons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash listened silently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut the people feared dragon blood. They feared its power.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant warrior\u2019s voice darkened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo they betrayed your family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Images suddenly returned to Ash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fragments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dreams he never understood before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fire consuming a palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His mother running through smoke while carrying him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Screaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor continued walking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKing Mordren led the rebellion himself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash stopped cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe king is three hundred years old?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor glanced backward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ancient warrior\u2019s crimson eyes narrowed beneath the helmet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe throne passes from father to son.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash\u2019s stomach tightened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current king\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">was descended from the man who murdered his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the chamber trembled violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor turned instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey found us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black-armored soldiers flooded into the chamber from every tunnel entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Black Guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elite royal executioners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Captain Varric stepped forward beside them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBy order of the king,\u201d he shouted, \u201csurrender the child!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor slowly drew the gigantic black sword from his back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The blade ignited with crimson fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The underground chamber trembled violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash stared upward in shock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because etched across the ancient blade\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">was the same dragon crest hanging around his neck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor stepped forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI protected your bloodline before this kingdom existed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ancient warrior raised the sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd I will drown kingdoms to protect it again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BOOOOOOOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The battle exploded instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor moved like a monster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gigantic sword crashed through shields effortlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stone pillars shattered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black-armored soldiers flew across the chamber like broken dolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Captain Varric roared and charged forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Steel collided with crimson fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The impact alone cracked the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash stumbled backward through the chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His heart pounded violently while the battle raged around him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"435\" height=\"356\"

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash turned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A young Black Guard soldier had fallen beneath collapsing stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy looked barely older than sixteen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pinned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Terrified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The soldier stared at him fearfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPlease\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor\u2019s voice thundered across the chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cStay back, my prince!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Ash ignored him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He ran forward through the chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The collapsing pillar groaned dangerously above the trapped soldier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash grabbed the stone desperately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Too heavy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The soldier shook violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLeave me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Ash refused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pain exploded through his arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the burning sensation inside his chest erupted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crimson dragon symbols suddenly ignited across his skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The chamber froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor stopped fighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Captain Varric stared in horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash screamed as impossible power exploded through his body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BOOOOOOOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gigantic stone pillar launched upward instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trapped soldier crawled backward in disbelief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone stared at the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crimson energy spiraled around Ash like living fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His eyes glowed faintly red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor slowly lowered his sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Dragon Heart\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Captain Varric whispered fearfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash collapsed onto one knee, breathing heavily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strange power vanished instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The chamber became silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the rescued young soldier slowly removed his helmet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He stared at Ash with disbelief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou saved me\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash looked upward weakly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The soldier swallowed hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then slowly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">he lowered his weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One by one\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">other Black Guards began lowering theirs too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Captain Varric shouted furiously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWHAT ARE YOU DOING?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the soldiers hesitated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the child they were ordered to hunt\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">had just risked his life to save one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor looked toward Ash silently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then for the first time\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the ancient warrior smiled faintly beneath the cracked helmet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Days later\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the kingdom began breaking apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rumors spread like wildfire through Ashkar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lost prince had returned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Dragon Heart had awakened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ancient knight Kaelor walked beside him once more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rebellions ignited across villages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some people feared the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Others worshipped him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash sat silently beside a fire deep within the hidden mountains north of the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Snow fell quietly outside the cave entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rescued young soldier sat nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His name was Rowan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And despite everything\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">he had followed Ash after abandoning the Black Guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou could\u2019ve escaped,\u201d Ash said quietly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rowan stared into the flames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo could you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash looked downward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t want war.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor stood silently near the cave entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant warrior suddenly spoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWar is already coming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">hoofbeats echoed outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor\u2019s sword ignited instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But instead of soldiers\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">an old woman entered the cave wearing dark royal robes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He recognized her instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Queen Selene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King Mordren\u2019s wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old queen lowered her hood slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her tired eyes locked onto Ash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">she began crying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy little dragon\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash stepped backward in shock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The queen approached slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI searched for you for eight years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor moved protectively before the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Selene raised trembling hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI came alone.\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\">\u201cYou know me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The queen stared at him painfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI held you the night you were born.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cave became silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the queen revealed the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash\u2019s mother\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the true queen\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">had not died escaping the palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She had been betrayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By King Mordren himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash\u2019s breathing became uneven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhy are you telling me this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Queen Selene\u2019s tears fell silently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBecause Mordren was never your enemy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor\u2019s crimson eyes ignited instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Selene turned toward the ancient warrior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou were sealed because you failed to protect them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The queen\u2019s voice trembled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou never saw the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then she looked toward Ash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYour mother begged Mordren to hide you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash\u2019s heart stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe nobles wanted every dragon-blood child executed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The queen slowly removed an old silver ring from her hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon crest engraved upon it matched Ash\u2019s pendant exactly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMordren protected you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor stepped backward silently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Selene nodded tearfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe rebellion was already lost. Your mother knew the kingdom would slaughter you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash\u2019s entire world shattered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the queen whispered the final truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe person who murdered your parents\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her eyes slowly lifted toward Kaelor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026was the man kneeling beside you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Complete silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash turned slowly toward the ancient warrior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor stood motionless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant warrior\u2019s sword trembled slightly in his hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Memories suddenly exploded through his mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Screaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The palace burning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A shadow moving behind the king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A blade piercing Queen Elira\u2019s chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor staggered backward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The queen\u2019s voice broke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Dragon Heart corrupted you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash stared in horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor collapsed onto one knee violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2026 remember\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three hundred years earlier\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the Dragon Heart\u2019s power had driven Kaelor insane during the final battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He had slaughtered the royal family himself while consumed by dragon fire madness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King Mordren\u2019s ancestor had sealed him inside the forbidden coffin afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not to preserve him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To imprison him forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash backed away slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everything hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every lie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor looked upward desperately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy prince\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But before he could speak\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BOOOOOOOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mountain exploded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black fire consumed the cave entrance instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soldiers flooded through the smoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King Mordren himself stepped forward slowly beneath the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old king looked exhausted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not cruel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m sorry, Ash.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor roared violently and stood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crimson dragon fire erupted around the ancient warrior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mountain trembled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Mordren raised no weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the old king looked directly at Ash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou must decide now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash shook violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mordren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Truth and lies twisted together until he could barely breathe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the Dragon Heart awakened again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crimson fire exploded across Ash\u2019s skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mountain began collapsing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone stared in horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the power spreading from the child\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">was becoming unstable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor\u2019s eyes widened instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Heart is consuming him!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash screamed in agony as dragon fire spiraled uncontrollably around his body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The storm outside darkened unnaturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mountain cracked apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mordren shouted desperately,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s no time!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor stared silently at the suffering child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then finally\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the ancient warrior understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Dragon Heart had never belonged inside human blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not even royal blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That was why every dragon king eventually became a monster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash looked up weakly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fear filled his eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t want to hurt anyone\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor slowly removed his cracked black helmet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the first time\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash saw the warrior\u2019s face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not monstrous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not evil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just tired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ancient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Filled with endless regret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor knelt before the child one final time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy prince\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tears slowly filled the warrior\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThank you\u2026 for saving me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor placed one hand against Ash\u2019s chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crimson light exploded across the mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Dragon Heart ripped violently from the child\u2019s body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash screamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaelor screamed louder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ancient warrior absorbed the entire power into himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mountain began collapsing completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mordren shouted,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKAELOR!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the warrior only smiled faintly toward Ash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou gave me something I lost long ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then Kaelor turned toward the storm outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And walked directly into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Dragon Heart roared like a living god beneath the heavens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crimson lightning consumed the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mountain exploded in fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash watched helplessly while the ancient warrior disappeared into the storm forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Days later\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the war ended before it truly began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King Mordren publicly revealed the truth of House Vaelorin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The kingdom mourned the past instead of repeating it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash was never forced onto the throne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because for the first time in centuries\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the people chose peace willingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And deep within the royal gardens months later\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">a barefoot boy sat quietly beside a small tree growing beneath the sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No hunger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Queen Selene smiled softly nearby while Rowan trained new royal guards in the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
