&#8211; THE BOY RAN THROUGH THE BURNING THRONE HALL FOR THE TIGER CUB"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gigantic shadow outside the palace walls moved again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BOOOOOOOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire mountain trembled beneath its footsteps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stone cracked across the burning throne hall while nobles screamed and collapsed to the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tiger cub instantly pressed closer against the boy\u2019s legs, trembling violently beneath the smoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">another roar shattered the night sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not the roar of a beast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The roar of something ancient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Something furious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king staggered backward away from the shattered windows.<\/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\">His face had turned pale beneath the firelight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child noticed immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because this was the first time the king of Ashkar had ever looked afraid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The royal captain raised his sword again despite shaking hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKill the boy NOW!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dozens of guards charged through the flames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child tightened his grip around the glowing Dragon Fang sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blue energy pulsed violently through the ancient blade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Almost alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Almost breathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tiger cub suddenly growled beside him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not in fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In warning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CRAAAAAAASH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant palace wall exploded inward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stone and fire erupted across the throne hall like a volcanic blast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guards were thrown screaming through the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ceiling cracked apart above the Iron Throne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And from the smoke\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">something enormous slowly stepped into the burning palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire hall fell silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A giant tiger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Twice the size of a warhorse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black-striped silver fur burned beneath the firelight like living steel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its glowing blue eyes locked onto the tiger cub instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cub cried out happily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMrrraaa!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant beast took one heavy step forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The marble floor shattered beneath its paw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobles screamed in terror and fled deeper into the collapsing hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because every person in Ashkar knew the legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Mountain Tiger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guardian beast of the northern cliffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A creature believed extinct for over a hundred years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And now\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">it stood inside the royal palace itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king pointed at the beast furiously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cARCHERS!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hidden soldiers emerged from the upper balconies instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flaming arrows aimed downward toward the giant tiger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child\u2019s eyes widened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FWOOOOOSH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hundreds of arrows rained through the smoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But before they could strike\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the giant tiger moved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BOOOOOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blue energy exploded outward from its body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every arrow disintegrated into ash midair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shockwave blasted the balconies apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soldiers crashed screaming into the flames below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king stumbled backward in horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat power\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the glowing Dragon Fang sword inside the boy\u2019s hand pulsed harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The blue light spread across his arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child gasped in pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visions exploded inside his mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Snowstorms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A woman crying beside a fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A giant tiger walking through falling snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">a baby wrapped in dark cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same glowing sword resting beside him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy nearly collapsed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant tiger slowly turned its glowing eyes toward him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not hostile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Almost familiar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the beast spoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not with words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside his mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Protect him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Protect\u2026 who?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the tiger cub cried loudly again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant beast lowered its massive head beside the smaller cub gently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And for one brief second\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the enormous creature looked peaceful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like a mother finally finding her lost child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">THUNK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A black spear suddenly burst through the giant tiger\u2019s side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blood exploded across the burning marble floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cub screamed instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child spun around in shock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king stood near the throne holding a massive dark spear glowing with crimson energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Spear of Vhalor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A forbidden weapon forged during the Beast Wars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant tiger roared in agony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire palace shook violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the king only smiled coldly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJust like before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child stared at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026before?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king slowly approached through the flames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His eyes burned with madness now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou think this creature came for the cub?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He pointed directly at the boy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt came for YOU.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silence consumed the throne hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy\u2019s heart stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant tiger growled weakly beside him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTwelve years ago\u2026 your mother ran from this palace carrying the Dragon Fang sword and a newborn child.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child\u2019s breathing became uneven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShe betrayed the throne.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king\u2019s smile widened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShe chose beasts over her kingdom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another memory flashed inside the boy\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A woman\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Run, Ash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Run before he finds you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king slowly lifted the crimson spear again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou were supposed to die with the others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boy staggered backward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He remembered now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The burning village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The snowstorm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The woman who hid him beneath the cliffs before soldiers arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant tiger suddenly roared furiously despite the spear lodged in its body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the king was lying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the truth exploded into Ash\u2019s mind all at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant tiger was not protecting him because of the sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not because of destiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">it had protected him since birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The beast had carried him through the mountains the night his mother died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tiger cub beside him\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">was the child of the same guardian beast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the king had hunted them ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The throne hall trembled harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The palace was collapsing completely now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fire spread across the ceiling beams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Massive stones rained downward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet the king kept advancing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou should have stayed forgotten.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He hurled the crimson spear directly toward Ash\u2019s chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FWOOOOOSH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Time slowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tiger cub screamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant tiger tried to move\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">but collapsed from its wounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The spear flew closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Closer\u2014<\/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 Fang sword exploded with blinding blue light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BOOOOOOOOOOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A massive wave of energy erupted across the throne hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every flame extinguished instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The crimson spear shattered into dust midair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king was thrown violently backward across the palace floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And behind Ash\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">something impossible appeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A giant blue dragon made entirely of light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its enormous wings filled the collapsing throne hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobles fell to their knees screaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king stared upward in pure terror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Dragon Spirit\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The glowing dragon lowered its head beside Ash silently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not attacking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Protecting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child could barely breathe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because he understood now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dragon Fang was never merely a weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was a seal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And inside it\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">lived the final spirit dragon of Ashkar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same dragon the old kings tried to enslave generations ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

king crawled backward desperately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo\u2026 you cannot awaken it\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the dragon suddenly turned its glowing eyes toward the throne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toward the black crown resting atop it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The crown began shaking violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CRACK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dark energy leaked from the ancient metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child frowned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Something was wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the giant tiger spoke into his mind again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The crown\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash suddenly understood the horrible truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The throne of Ashkar had never been cursed by beasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The kings themselves created the curse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Long ago, the royal bloodline stole power from ancient creatures using the black crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every massacre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every hunted beast\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">all done to feed the crown\u2019s dark magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king screamed furiously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTHAT POWER BELONGS TO THE THRONE!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He rushed toward the crown desperately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Ash moved first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child sprinted through the collapsing flames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blue energy exploded behind him like lightning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And with one final roar\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">he swung Dragon Fang downward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SHHHHRRRAAAAAAK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The black crown split in half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dark energy erupted upward through the palace roof like a giant storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mountain itself shook violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across Ashkar\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">people looked toward the capital in horror as black clouds spiraled above the burning palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The king screamed in agony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His body began cracking apart like stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the crown had been keeping him alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Far beyond normal human years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old king collapsed to his knees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wrinkling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turning to dust before Ash\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo\u2026 my kingdom\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash stared at him silently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only ash remained beside the shattered throne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the palace ceiling collapsed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CRAAAAAASH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Massive burning pillars fell toward the throne hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash grabbed the tiger cub instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant tiger struggled weakly to stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dragon spirit roared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And together\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">they ran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child sprinted through collapsing corridors beside the wounded guardian beast while explosions tore through the palace around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walls shattered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Firestorms consumed entire chambers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outside\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">thousands watched the royal palace begin collapsing down the mountainside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BOOOOOOOOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The throne hall exploded in blue fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shockwave lit the night sky for miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash shielded the tiger cub beneath his body as debris crashed around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant tiger collapsed beside him heavily near the palace gates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its breathing had become weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Too weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cub cried desperately and nudged its mother\u2019s face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash dropped beside the creature instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo\u2026 stay with us\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant tiger slowly lifted its head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its glowing eyes softened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And once again\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the voice echoed gently inside his mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You were never abandoned, little one.<\/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 beast remembered him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After all these years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tiger slowly pressed its forehead against his.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just like a mother comforting her child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">its glowing blue eyes faded softly into darkness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cub cried louder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash felt tears running down his face for the first time in years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because beneath the monster\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">beneath the legend\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">this creature had simply been protecting her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The burning palace crumbled behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Snow suddenly began falling through the smoke-filled night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ash looked upward slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant blue dragon still circled high above the kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But now\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">its enormous glowing body was fading into the clouds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before disappearing completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And across the city\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">something unexpected happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The soldiers lowered their weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People stepped out from hiding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not cheering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not celebrating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just\u2026 staring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the tyrant king was gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The black crown was destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And for the first time in generations\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the kingdom of Ashkar was finally free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Days later\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the fires across the capital finally died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shattered throne hall remained in ruins atop the mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody rebuilt it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody wanted another cursed throne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the people gathered below the cliffs where the giant tiger had fallen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A massive stone monument was raised there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not for kings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not for warriors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But for the guardian beast who saved the kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And beside the monument\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">a barefoot boy often sat quietly with a growing tiger cub sleeping beside him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some people called him the Dragon Child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Others called him the Last Guardian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Ash never cared about titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because every night\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">when the cold mountain wind moved through the cliffs\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">he still remembered the warmth of the giant tiger\u2019s forehead against his own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And deep within the silver Dragon Fang sword\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the blue light still glowed softly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watching over him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Waiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For whatever came next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
