The Return of the Dragon King
Calen Storm walked slowly toward Tharstan, with Carmen at his side. The once terrifying dragon, an enormous beast consumed by vengeance, was no longer there. Instead, lying broken and weakened upon the ground was an old man: a Drakhtarion, no different from his kin, his aged face lined with sorrow and pain. The fiery aura of destruction that had consumed him was gone, leaving only the frailty of mortality.“I’m sorry for hurting you,” Calen said softly, his voice filled with both guilt and determination. “I did all of this for your sake. I only wanted to save you, and I pray you understand my purpose.”Reaching down, Calen gently helped Tharstan sit up, steadying his trembling frame. He even brushed away the dirt and blood from his grandfather’s ragged clothes, trying to restore some dignity to the man who had once ruled with power and pride. For no matter what dark deeds had tainted the past, blood ties could never be broken. Tharstan was his grandfather, and Calen refused to deny th
A Messenger from Vynoria
“Has there been any news from Calen Storm? How is the situation in the capital city of Aerondale? Has the war continued there?”Queen Elara Wysteria had returned to her own kingdom. Earlier, she had made the difficult decision to leave the battlefield. She had departed shortly after the soldiers of Aerondale, along with their commander and Calen Storm himself, moved toward the capital of Aerondale, following Tharstan’s sudden flight there. Elara had chosen instead to return to Vynoria, compelled by the need to see her daughter again—she could not bear to be away from her for too long.“There has been no new report regarding that, Your Majesty. Calen Storm has not sent any word at all.”“And what of the remaining soldiers of Vynoria? Were they still stationed on the battlefield?”“They all returned to the kingdom, Your Majesty, not long after you departed. Since the surviving Aerondale troops were redirected by their general to march back to the capital, most likely to secure the area
The Return of Happiness
The declaration spoken by the stranger left Calen Storm silent in thought.“I swear, I am not lying. I have supported you for a long time, for I believe you are the true bearer of justice. The Kingdom of Aerondale has already fallen, let me serve under you. But for now, please save me first. Those men were ordered to capture me after they discovered my loyalty to you.”At first, Calen still harbored doubt in his heart. He glanced over his shoulder and saw several soldiers still scouring the area, searching for the defected Aerondale warrior who now stood beside him.“Follow me. I will get you to safety first.”Calen and his retinue quickly shielded the wounded soldier and led him away from the marketplace.Once they reached a secluded spot far from the chaos of the bazaar, Calen studied the man closely. His heart tightened as he took in the soldier’s ragged clothes, torn armor, and body covered in wounds.“But why did you choose to abandon Aerondale and follow me?” Calen asked. “You m
Refusing Defeat
The state of Aerondale remained unchanged. Though the flames had died, the smoke still lingered, mingling with the stench of charred wood and the metallic tang of blood from bodies yet to be buried. Many of Aerondale’s people had not received medical treatment, overwhelmed by the sheer number of casualties and the scarcity of aid.The once-proud royal citadel was now reduced to ruins. No visible effort had been made by its ruler to address the devastation. The burned homes of the citizens stood like hollowed-out shells, urgently in need of repair if they were to serve as shelters for the survivors.In the shadow of the collapsed palace walls, the royal soldiers had pitched a makeshift tent. This ragged canopy now served as the throne room of King Theron. The king brooded there in silence, grappling with the endless burden of his shattered kingdom. He had no counsel to lean on—General Evan Drake was gone, slain by Tharstan. The weight of every decision now rested solely on his shoulder
Trouble
Calen Storm was enjoying his time in the Kingdom of Vynoria. He played the role of a devoted father to his daughter, Avenya. With his strong arms, he carried her, played with her, fed her, and even told her bedtime stories. Queen Elara Wynn never ceased to show her care for Calen, making sure he received the proper treatment for his health.It had been exactly a week since Calen arrived in Vynoria. He was sitting in his chamber on a finely carved chair, holding a cup of warm tea in his right hand. Yet the tea remained untouched, growing cold, for his mind was elsewhere.I cannot stay in this kingdom forever. Sooner or later, I must continue my journey and tend to other matters. I should speak with Queen Elara about this soon.“The tea has gone cold. Why haven’t you drunk it? Does it taste different from yesterday’s?”Calen’s thoughts were interrupted when Queen Elara entered the chamber, smiling at him with her bright, gentle eyes. It was the same sight Calen had awakened to every mor
Primodial Energy
Calen Storm immediately prepared himself to set out on a journey in search of a greater source of energy that could heal his daughter. He moved quickly, his heart weighed down with fear that the poison coursing through Avenya’s body would continue to spread, making her condition even harder to cure.“I apologize for disturbing your time, but there are guests who wish to meet you. They introduced themselves as Carmen and Liora.”The voice came from Larry Landon, a former soldier of Aelion who had defected and now pledged his loyalty to Calen Storm. Standing respectfully at the door of Calen’s chamber, he delivered the message with a tone that carried both urgency and formality.That statement immediately diverted Calen’s focus. He halted his preparations, pausing as his hand lingered over his travel gear, then turned to face Larry. The news was unexpected, Calen had, after all, asked Carmen to remain in the Drakhtarion Kingdom, watching over Tharstan until the elder fully recovered. At
The Journey to the Core of the Ancient Divine River
The very first destination in the search for the three sacred elements was to obtain the essence of life hidden within the core of the Ancient Divine River. This ancient, godly river lay deep within the primeval forest, revered as a holy sanctuary because it was inhabited, and fiercely protected, by the primordial spirits dwelling in its depths.For Calen Storm and Queen Elara Wynn, this river marked the beginning of their perilous quest. It was the first step toward securing the primordial energies that could one day save their beloved daughter. Together, they had vowed to seek out all three elements, no matter the sacrifices required. Even if it meant risking their lives and treading into realms of danger beyond mortal comprehension, they would face it side by side.Calen led the way forward through the shadowed forest. Queen Elara walked close at his side, with her personal handmaiden just behind her, while Larry remained at the rear, ever vigilant, watching their flanks. The small
A Drop of Life Energy
“I still choose my daughter!”Calen Storm shouted those words in his heart, and they blazed clearly through his eyes.After giving him a trial, the river spirit lifted Calen from the depths and hurled him back to the riverbank along with Queen Elara Wynn and their companions. The whirlpool that had raged moments ago vanished, and once again, the water giant rose to the surface.“I will ask you again. After what you just witnessed, do you still seek the life energy to heal your child?”Calen stood up and glared at the water spirit with unshaken resolve.“I don’t care about anything you showed me. None of it changes my faith in my daughter. She is still my child. Avenya is my responsibility, for I am her father. I did not come here to listen to your taunts or to be swayed by visions. I came here to beg for help, to heal my daughter, not for myself!”Calen’s conviction never wavered, not from the illusions the spirit conjured nor from the doubts he cast. He believed that his own characte
The Misleading Mist
The shadow creatures closed in on Calen Storm’s group, surrounding them in a tightening circle. Their presence carried clear hostility, as if they had been waiting for this very moment.Calen Storm, Elara Wynn, and their small company immediately readied their weapons. The way the creatures emerged left no doubt, they weren’t here just to frighten, but to kill.Sure enough, a heartbeat later, the shadows lunged at them in a sudden ambush.“Protect yourself, my Queen! Don’t let them harm you!”Calen Storm shouted a warning to Elara Wynn while fending off two of the beasts that had leapt toward him. Elara Wynn nodded quickly in reply and returned her focus to deflecting the strikes of the shadows encircling her.The clash was fierce. These creatures of shadow had no solid form, making them incredibly difficult to defeat.Yet something felt off. The shadows seemed far more intent on attacking Calen Storm and Elara
The Soldiers’ Rebellion in Drakhtarion
King Tharstan released his embrace from Calen Storm, giving him a light pat on the shoulder. Then, he turned his gaze toward Elara Wynn.“You both must be very weary. I have already prepared chambers for you to rest in, but before that, let us dine together. I believe you will enjoy the feast prepared.”King Tharstan, Calen Storm, and Elara Wynn entered the royal hall and shared a meal together. Their conversation turned lightly to the state of Drakhtarion, and then to the condition of Avenya. Calen Storm also recounted the intervention of Queen Iralyn, who had manifested through Carmen’s body to help them understand the sickness afflicting Avenya.“My mother revealed herself again, using Carmen’s body?”“Yes, Grandfather. Queen Iralyn aided us and explained that Avenya’s illness was no ordinary disease. We tried to keep this matter secret, but I do not know how rumors of Avenya being cursed have already spr
