The clock hand in the Hale family living room had already passed eleven.

Gerard Hale wasn't sitting.

For half an hour he had been pacing, from the sofa to the window, from the window to the door, from the door back to the sofa, with his hands behind his back and breathing that came out harder than necessary for someone just walking around a room.

On the sofa, Margaret Hale sat with her back straight and hands clasped on her thighs, with the expression of a woman not accustomed to waiting and no

The silver blade stopped between two of Caelan's fingers, index and middle, closing like scissors on the left and right of the blade. The sword that had just shot forward at a speed that shouldn't have been catchable by anyone was now unable to move forward or backward.No blood. No loud impact sound.Just stopped.Caelan didn't look back. "You're fast." His voice came out the way of someone noting something, not someone who was under threat. "But weak."One second of silence.Then something exploded from Ixia. Not sound, but energy. Every spiritual reserve she had was released at once into the hand gripping that sword, pulling backward with full force.The blade broke free.Ixia stepped back half a pace, stabilized her position, and immediately attacked again. This time from a different direction, at higher speed than before, with an angle calculated more carefully.But Caelan was no longer in the same position.Not because he had dodged with a visible step. He just—wasn't there anym

Half an hour earlier.The Sterne family's weapons collection storage room had never been designed for strangers to visit.But tonight, Ixia walked through it like she owned it herself.Iron racks along the walls held various pieces collected by the Sterne family across three generations—swords, daggers, short spears, all kept in condition maintained only by people who understood the value of those objects.Ixia walked slowly, her eyes sweeping from one rack to the next.On the left side, a two-handed sword with a blade as wide as a palm bearing rune engravings along its fuller—the color of the runes a faint blue, as if frozen inside the steel. Beside it, a curved saber with a gold inlay in the shape of a dragon along the spine of its blade, its gleam visible even under the warehouse's not-too-bright lighting. On the middle rack, a double-edged straight sword of Damascus steel with a folding pattern that looked like wood grain up close, with a heavy hexagonal cross-guard.All expensive

"Do you have a name?"The small creature raised its head from where it was sitting casually on the table, one of its front legs still wiping the last of the milk from the corner of its mouth."Of course not yet. Please give me a name, papa.""How about Rex?"Three seconds of silence. The small creature appeared to genuinely consider it, not in a pretend way, but in the manner of someone making a decision seriously."That's a good name." Its head gave one nod. "From now on, my name is Rex.""Good." Caelan nodded, satisfied. Then added, "But I'm not your biological parent. So it's better not to call me papa."Rex turned toward him."No.""No?" Caelan furrowed his brow."You are papa." Rex said it in a way that left no room for negotiation. "You were the one who fed me first. You were here when I opened my eyes for the first time. So you are papa.""I'm human." Caelan tried once more. "You're a dragon. We're two completely different species. Biologically that doesn't—""So I'm not allowe

The small head appeared first.No bigger than a child's fist, with a piece of shell still stuck to the top of its crown like a hat that was too large. Its scales were red—not a striking or frightening red, but a warm red like settled embers, with a gleam that shifted depending on the angle of light hitting it.Then its eyes opened.Blue. Bright. With a light inside that didn't come from the reflection of the room's lamps.Caelan crouched in front of the table, looking at the small head that had just emerged from inside the shell, and didn't move anything for several seconds.The creature—which turned out to be far smaller than he had ever imagined from the size of its egg—moved its head left, then right, like someone who had just opened their eyes in an unfamiliar place and was looking for orientation.There was nothing threatening in that manner. No ill intent that his senses could detect. What he felt from this small red creature was something very different from everything he had f

Meanwhile, right as the last door closed outside, something trickled slowly from Caelan's forehead.Sweat.He didn't move right away. Still standing in the same spot since they had left, in the middle of The Grandeur's lobby now back to its usual atmosphere, with staff still on duty and a few guests passing through without knowing what had just happened among those same tables and chairs.For those few minutes earlier, not a single thing had made it to the surface. No sweat, no change in breathing, nothing that Aldrus or anyone around him could have read as a sign that Caelan was feeling anything more than he showed.Now they were gone.And the second drop followed the first."That old man is strong."Not strong in a way measurable by technique or by how many people he could defeat at once. Strong in a more fundamental way—an aura that emanated depth from someone who had spent a very long time to reach a level that was no longer about which Realm, but about something further beyond th

Aldrus finally set his cane more upright and raised his head."Thank you, Doctor Voss." His tone shifted. Still warm, but with a different layer beneath it now, like someone who had finished what they wanted to finish and didn't need to hide their satisfaction. "Your answers were satisfying. More than I expected, honestly." He stood with the help of his cane. "I don't regret coming all the way to Velmont."Caelan stood too."Not at all." A small nod. "I hope your health continues to be with you, and that your journey back goes smoothly."One last smile from Aldrus. Thin, controlled, with something behind it that no one standing in that room could fully read.Then he turned.The cane pointed toward the door first. Steps followed.One by one, the five sect members moved in the same direction. Edvard and Cedric followed behind.The Grandeur's main door opened.---Velmont's night air welcomed them outside.And the moment the door closed behind him, something in Aldrus's face changed.Not
