Scott severed Lady Lyssara's contract with Siren.The memory shattered.Scott suddenly felt himself pulled back into reality.His eyes snapped open.He was standing inside the prison once again.Princess Diana.Derek.The prison warden.Lady Lyssara.They were all exactly where they had been.Scott's breathing was uneven.The memory still lingered in his mind.It felt so real that his chest still ached.Then...A brilliant blue light erupted from Lady Lyssara's body.Everyone instinctively looked toward her."No..."Lady Lyssara's eyes widened."No!"A massive stream of icy blue energy burst from her chest.Within it...Scott saw Siren's energy core.It floated into the air before shooting straight toward him.Scott instinctively raised his hands.The energy core entered his body.Boom!A violent surge of power exploded inside him.Deep within his inner domain...White slowly opened his eyes.Siren's energy core drifted toward his.Without resistance...The two energies merged togethe

Meanwhile....Deep within a forest on the eastern side of Valoria, Cassian had led the group along a narrow path until a magnificent mansion finally came into view, it stood quietly among the towering trees, surrounded by high stone walls and dozens of armed guards patrolling the premises .The moment the guards saw Cassian...They immediately bowed.Not a single question was asked.One of them stepped forward respectfully.Welcome back, my lord.Cassian gave a small nod.We'll be staying here for a while so prepare rooms for everyone at once.The guards moved quickly, treating every member of the group with the utmost respect.As they stepped inside...Everyone froze.The polished marble floor reflected the warm light from elegant crystal lamps and even beautiful paintings decorated the walls.Soft carpets stretched across the halls.The scent of freshly prepared food drifted through the mansion.Raya's mouth slowly fell open."...Can I live here forever?"Daniel looked around before

Meanwhile...Hidden behind one of the massive stone pillars overlooking the royal training grounds...Elena silently watched everything.Her expression never changed as Scott was repeatedly thrown across the arena by Derek.She slowly raised one hand.Blue flames quietly gathered above her palm.Two elegant flaming daggers slowly emerged from the flames as they spun gracefully around her fingers like dancing dragon flies. The dragon flames that had forged them still danced across their blades.Elena quietly observed the weapons for a brief moment.Then...The blue flames swallowed them once again.Both daggers disappeared as though they had never existed.Without another glance toward the arena...She silently walked away....That night...A gentle knock came from Scott's room."Come in."The wooden door slowly opened.Elena entered carrying a tray of food.She placed it on the table as usual.Scott smiled."You always come around dinner time.""It's becoming a habit."Elena returne

Deep within a forest near the Kingdom of Azra....Prince Franky pulled Sarah behind the thick trunk of an ancient oak after making sure they were far enough from the hunting party and then a mischievous grin spread across his face."I left the bows behind on purpose," he admitted.Sarah folded her arms."Oh?"Franky nodded shamelessly."I told everyone I wanted to track a rare beast."He stepped closer."But the only thing I wanted to hunt today...""...was a little time alone with you."Sarah rolled her eyes, though the smile on her face betrayed her."You are unbelievable."Franky chuckled."And yet you still followed me.""I followed because I knew you were up to something.""And I was right.""You always use these hunting trips as an excuse."Franky leaned in with a teasing smile."They're the only time nobody interrupts us."Sarah shook her head."One day your father is going to find out.""He won't.""You sound very confident.""I am."Before Sarah could say anything else...Fra

"My King...""A messenger from the Kingdom of Azra has arrived."King Ricard slowly raised his eyes from the documents before him. A faint look of annoyance crossed his face."Azra...""I've heard that name before."The royal guard bowed."Yes, Your Majesty.""It is the same kingdom where the boy with the Dragon Bloodline first appeared."The king's eyes narrowed."Has he returned there?""I do not know, Your Majesty but the messenger only claimed he has something important to show you.For a brief moment, the throne room fell silent.Then King Ricard spoke."Let him in."The massive doors slowly opened.A middle-aged man stepped inside. The instant his feet crossed into the throne room, his breathing became heavier.The pressure was overwhelming.It felt as though an invisible mountain had been placed upon his shoulders.Every instinct in his body screamed at him to kneel.At the far end of the chamber...King Ricard sat calmly upon his throne.He wasn't releasing his aura intentiona
