Chapter: The ArmyMaeson pulled his sister behind him and gripped his heavy black bag. The thousands of glass tubes stood open like hollow graves. The ancient warriors walked out with slow, steady steps. Their skin looked like gray stone, and their eyes burned with the same harsh purple light he saw on the mountain peak. They did not speak. They did not scream. They just stared at him with empty, cold hunger.Ava stood by the metal door. She pounded her fists against the cold surface, but it did not budge. "We are trapped," she yelled over the rising hum of the chamber.Maeson looked at his computer. He held the screen up to the light. The warriors were closing the distance fast. There were too many to fight with his bare hands. He needed to find a way to hack their internal systems. If they were connected to the ancient network, he could force a system reset. He began to type with frantic speed. His fingers felt stiff, but he refused to slow down.The first warrior reached out a long, stone-like hand.

Chapter: AncientThe bright red laser dots danced across the chest of Maeson. The heavy wind from the five black helicopters beat down on the mountain peak. Loose dirt and small rocks flew through the cold night air. Maeson shielded his eyes and quickly stepped in front of his young sister. Ava stood frozen right beside him. She stared at the tall man walking out of the dark cave. It was her father. But his face looked wrong. His skin was pale like white marble. His eyes burned with a bright purple fire."Dad," Ava whispered. Her soft voice shook with pure terror. "How are you alive right now? I watched the dark magic take you in the testing lab."The rich man tilted his head. His movements were slow and stiff. He did not look human anymore. "Your father was weak," the man said. His voice was a blend of two different sounds. It was the voice of the old billionaire mixed with the deep ancient tone of the dark magic. "He wanted power to rule a small world. We want to cleanse this whole planet."Maeson t

Chapter: The Living BatteryThe deep ancient voice echoed across the cold mountain peak. It did not sound like a sick little girl. It sounded like a thousand voices speaking at the exact same time. The strange words vibrated in the chest of Maeson."The cycle begins again," the young girl said.Maeson stayed frozen on the rocky ground. He held Ava tight against his side. The thick purple fog swirling around the clearing suddenly stopped moving. It froze in the cold night air. Then, the dark magic rushed toward the medical stretcher. It did not attack the young girl. It flowed directly into her glowing skin. She was absorbing the toxic energy just like a sponge absorbing water. Her small body acted like a perfect container for the wild power.The tall mercenary groaned in deep pain. He pushed himself off the dirty ground. He leaned against the metal transport van. His face was covered in dark red blood. He looked at the glowing child in pure terror. He reached into his dark jacket and pulled out a small silver gu

Chapter: The CatalystMaeson kept his hands frozen over the computer keyboard. The cold metal gun pressed harder into his bare neck. He slowly raised his eyes and looked at Ava. Her face was pale with deep fear. A large guard stepped out of the dark fog behind her. He grabbed her soft arms and locked her in a tight hold.Do not move a muscle, the guard holding the gun said. His voice was rough and angry. Stand up slowly and close the laptop.Maeson swallowed hard. He did exactly what the man ordered. He stood up with his hands raised high. The guard pushed him hard in the back. Walk forward, the man commanded.They stumbled out from behind the large gray rock. The bright white light from the transport van hit their faces. They walked right into the open clearing. The tall mercenary with the silver hawk pin turned around. He looked at them and smiled his cruel smile. He unplugged his small black tablet from the massive stone door.Well look who finally decided to join the party, the tall man said. He walked

Chapter: Mountain DoorMaeson jerked the heavy steering wheel hard to the left. The sports car tires screamed against the cold wet road. The deadly rocket zoomed past their right window. It missed the glass by only a few inches. The explosive weapon hit the mountain wall right behind them. A massive ball of bright orange fire erupted into the dark sky. The shockwave slammed into the side of their fast vehicle. The car spun out of control. Maeson slammed his foot onto the brakes. The vehicle skidded violently across the dirty pavement and crashed hard into a thick row of tall trees.Glass shattered everywhere. The loud crunch of folding metal filled his ears. White smoke poured out from the crushed front hood. Maeson coughed and waved his hands in the thick air. His head throbbed with deep pain. He looked over at the passenger seat. Ava sat very still. Her eyes were tightly closed. A small cut on her forehead leaked dark blood. Ava, he shouted loudly. Please wake up. He reached over and shook her soft should

Chapter: Truth RevealedMaeson stared at Ava in the dark alley. The cold wind blew past them. The red dot on his phone screen continued to blink. He shook his head. That is not possible, he said softly. My sister is just a sick little girl. She has been in that hospital bed for three years. She cannot be the magic child you are looking for.Ava grabbed his phone. She pointed to the glowing map. Look at the direction they are taking her, she said. Her voice was urgent. My father had secret files on a hidden mountain sanctuary. It is an ancient place built to contain the dark magic. He believed the catalyst, the only person who can absorb the energy, was hidden there. But if he already found the child and if his men are taking her there now we are out of time.Maeson felt his blood run cold. He thought about his sister. He thought about her strange illness. The doctors could never figure out what was wrong with her. Her body was just weak. She needed machines to breathe. But what if she was not sick at all? Wh

Archivist Of The Fallen Dragon Empire
Thousands of years ago, the Dragon Sovereign sacrificed his life to seal away an apocalyptic threat. Today, that very threat sits on a throne of lies, worshipped by humanity as a god named Dominic Kane.
The true sovereign has returned, but not as a mighty dragon. He has awakened in the frail and sickly human body of Luca Romano, a lowly archivist at an elite magic academy. This academy does not teach magic to save the world. It trains ruthless inquisitors like Kaelen Draven to hunt down and slaughter the last remaining dragon descendants.
Luca must keep his head down among the dusty scrolls. His new human vessel is too weak to hold even a fraction of his true draconic aura, and a single burst of his old power would tear his flesh apart. Hiding, however, is a luxury he cannot afford for long.
With the help of a brilliant outcast scholar named Amelia Hart, Luca begins secretly forging a new dragon core right under the watchful eyes of his enemies. He must decipher the twisted history Dominic Kane wrote and locate his loyal ancient general, Elias Thorne, who just might still walk the earth in secret.
The weak archivist is about to remind the world of the terror of the true Dragon Sovereign. They stole his empire. He is going to burn theirs to the ground.

Chapter: ShieldThe thick smoke filled the cold stone room. Kaelen Draven walked forward with a cruel smile on his face. The blue light from his sword cut through the dark dust. Three elite commanders stood behind him in heavy silver armor. They raised their long weapons and aimed straight at Luca. The false god wanted the dragon dead. Kaelen wanted the glory for himself.Luca stood his ground. His injured leg burned with sharp pain but he refused to show weakness. He pushed Amelia behind a thick stone pillar to keep her safe. The young scholar clutched her leather bag and held her breath.Elias Thorne rose to his feet. The ancient general was free from the dark curse. He wore broken armor and his muscles ached from a thousand years of pain. But his dark eyes were sharp and clear. He stepped in front of his king to form a living wall."You will not touch him," Elias said. His voice was rough like grinding stones.Kaelen laughed loud and pointed his glowing blade at the tall warrior. "The mad beast sp

Chapter: Voice of the KingThe cold hands of the cursed general squeezed the neck of Luca. The grip felt like solid iron. Purple fire burned bright inside the wild eyes of Elias Thorne. The old warrior did not see his king anymore. He saw a strange target to destroy. Luca grabbed the thick wrists of his friend. He tried to pull the deadly hands away from his throat. His injured leg gave out and he dropped to his knees. Elias fell with him but never let go. The heavy metal chains rattled loud in the dark room.Amelia screamed loud and rushed forward into the shadows. She raised her small sharp rock high to strike the tall monster. She wanted to save the young man she trusted. Luca saw her move and gasped for air. He forced his dry mouth to form words. He told her to step back and stay safe. He commanded her not to hurt the broken man. Amelia stopped running and lowered her pale hand. She looked terrified but she listened to his clear warning. She stepped back against the smooth black stone wall and watched the t

Chapter: Deep VaultThe cold air rushed past his face. Luca held Amelia tight against his chest as they fell into the dark void. The drop felt like a long nightmare with no bottom. He wrapped his body around her to shield her from the sharp stones. His injured left leg throbbed with a dull and heavy pain. He closed his eyes and braced for a hard impact. The ground rushed up to meet them with brutal force.They hit a slope of soft dirt and slid down into a wide stone chamber. Dust flew into the dark air. Luca rolled onto his back and groaned. His bones ached but nothing felt broken. He let go of Amelia so she could sit up. She coughed and wiped the thick wet mud from her pale face. The heavy rain from the forest above did not reach this deep place. It was dry and smelled like ancient dust."Are you hurt?" Luca asked in a very low whisper.Amelia shook her head and reached into her leather bag. "I am fine," she said. "But your leg is bleeding."She pulled out a small piece of clean cloth and tied it tight

Chapter: MudThe cold mud soaked through his torn shirt. Luca stared up at the man standing above them. Kaelen Draven smiled a very dark and twisted smile. The silver sword in his hand glowed with a faint blue light in the deep trench. Rain began to fall from the black sky above. The cold drops washed the thick dirt from the dark boots of the inquisitor. He had not come with the three heavenly commanders. He had tracked them on his own. He wanted the glory of killing the dragon for himself. Luca pushed Amelia behind him and stood up.Kaelen stepped forward and raised his weapon high. He did not speak a single word to them. He just swung the heavy blade down at the neck of Luca. Luca leaned back and dodged the sharp metal. The sword smashed into the muddy wall of the deep ravine. Dirt and wet rocks flew into the cold air. Luca used this small opening to attack. He lunged forward and drove his fist into the chest of Kaelen. The force of the punch made a loud cracking sound. Kaelen stumbled backward

Chapter: LucaThe razor sharp teeth of the dragon hound clamped down on Luca's right arm. Pain flared through his veins like hot liquid metal. He gritted his teeth to keep from screaming out loud. The beast shook its massive head side to side, trying to tear his limb right off his body. Its heavy weight pinned him against the cold, damp cave floor. Luca could smell the foul odor of rot and burning acid coming from its open mouth. He used his left hand to grip the furry neck of the monster, pushing its snapping jaws away from his throat.Amelia cried out in terror. She scrambled around in the pitch black space, her hands desperately searching the ground for a weapon. She found a sharp piece of broken rock and lunged forward without hesitation. She slammed the stone into the ribs of the hound. The beast let out a sharp yelp of pain but did not release Luca's bleeding arm. Its yellow eyes glowed brighter in the dark, filled with pure malice. It was a creature created by the magic of Dominic Kane, buil

Chapter: Traitor in the lightThe harsh bright spotlights blinded Luca. He squinted against the fierce glare. Reuben stood in the center of the beam. His hand gripped Amelia by her neck. She struggled but his hold was tight. Heavy boots marched toward them from all sides. The elite heavenly guards wore silver armor that shined in the night. They carried long spears pointing straight at Luca. The trap was perfect. Reuben had played them from the start. Luca felt a deep rumble in his chest. His dragon core pulsed with hot anger. He looked at the man."Why did you do this Reuben?" Luca asked. His voice was low and calm. Reuben laughed. The sound was sharp. "Dominic Kane offers great rewards for the false sovereign," Reuben said. "I am just a poor scholar. I want power and gold. You are my ticket to a better life." Amelia kicked at his shins. "You are a coward," she spat. Reuben tightened his grip on her throat. She gasped for air. Luca took a step forward. The guards raised their spears higher. "Do not move," a guard
