The First Signs
The sun had barely risen over the Sky Temple when Sadi sensed something unusual. The morning air felt heavier than normal, thick with static, as though the realm itself was holding its breath. Surtr hummed faintly across his back, and Drakari’s flames flickered nervously, a signal Sadi had learned to trust.Hiro, pacing beside him, frowned. “You’ve been staring at the horizon for five minutes. Something’s wrong?”Sadi’s gaze didn’t move. “The celestial energy… it’s… unstable.” His voice was low but sharp. “The seal over the Shadow Realm—it’s weakening.”Hiro’s eyes widened. “You mean… the thing we faced earlier?”Sadi nodded slowly. “Yes. But this isn’t just a minor tremor. Something—or someone—is forcing the cracks to widen. I can feel it in the beasts, the ley lines… even the air itself.”Drakari’s roar echoed sharply, and Sadi glanced down at the riverbank. Several beasts that had been roaming peacefully now moved erratically. Their scales shimmered unnaturally, some partially cloa
Secrets of the Shadow Realm
Dawn broke over the Draconis Realm, but the air remained heavy with the remnants of last night’s battle. Sadi stood on the edge of the cliff where the Shadow Realm had briefly bled into their world, Surtr strapped across his back, Drakari’s obsidian cage hovering nearby. The Leviathan stirred in the nearby river, sensing his master’s unease.Hiro stood beside him, arms crossed, his gaze scanning the horizon. “You’ve been quiet since yesterday,” he said, breaking the silence. “You’re thinking about that figure again, aren’t you?”Sadi didn’t reply immediately. He traced a finger along Surtr’s hilt, feeling the hum of its power. “It’s more than the figure, Hiro. That Shadow Realm… it’s not natural. Its energy… it’s older than anything I’ve ever felt. Someone—or something—is using it to manipulate reality itself.”Hiro frowned, shifting his weight. “You mean it’s alive?”Sadi shook his head slowly. “Not alive like us… but aware. It reacts, it adapts. Last night, it tried to drown us in d
Into the Shadow Realm
The cliff trembled beneath Sadi’s boots as the shadows surged again. Surtr blazed in his hands, the fire sword radiating warmth that cut through the unnatural chill of the night. Hiro’s sword hummed with latent energy, his movements precise, controlled, but tense.The cloaked figure hovered above them, its aura twisting the darkness into shapes that clawed at reality itself. “You think your fire and steel can resist the Shadow Realm?” it hissed. “This is not a realm of mortals. This is where gods hide, where powers older than your temple sleep. And soon… they will awaken for me.”Sadi narrowed his eyes. “I don’t care if it’s older than the heavens. I’ve faced the impossible before, and I’ll face it again.”A wave of darkness surged forward. Massive, serpentine shadows rose from the ground, their eyes glowing red like coals. They moved with an unnatural fluidity, slipping between reality and illusion. Hiro stepped forward to intercept, swinging his sword in arcs of precise force. One s
Shadows Rising
The night air in the Draconis Realm was unnaturally still. Even the faint rustle of leaves had vanished, leaving a heavy silence that pressed against Sadi’s senses. He stood atop the cliff, the Sword of Surtr glowing faintly against his chest. Beside him, the golden badge felt heavier than usual, a constant reminder of the responsibilities now resting on his shoulders.“Something’s wrong,” Sadi murmured, tightening his grip on the hilt. His instincts screamed danger, a pulse that he could not ignore. The magical energy surrounding him, which usually thrummed with warmth, felt jagged and off-balance tonight.Hiro appeared silently from the shadows, his expression unreadable. “You feel it too?” he asked, his voice low.Sadi glanced at him, nodding slightly. “Yes. There’s a surge in the elemental nodes… someone is awakening power that should remain dormant.”Hiro’s eyes darkened. “Could it be Draco?”Sadi shook his head. “Not him. This… this is older. Far older than any of us expected.”
The Beast-Caller’s Mark
The moment Sadi entered the Sky Temple’s northern wing, he felt it—the faint tremor of celestial energy lacing through the halls like a heartbeat. It pulsed softly, slow and steady, calling to him. Or warning him. He wasn’t sure which.Behind him, Luca walked with his usual relaxed steps, though his eyes flickered around with barely hidden curiosity. Nowshin moved quietly beside them, hands clasped, her gaze full of worry. Mason led the group, pushing open the old iron-bound door of the chamber where the Leviathan seal had been installed the night before.The room hummed with a strange mix of ancient magic and new tension.Inside, Ethan stood with several high sages. They had formed a circle around the obsidian prism—the one that held the Leviathan. Blue-white energy spiraled across its surface like veins of frozen lightning.But today… something was different.The energy wasn’t calm.It throbbed.It wanted out.Ethan stepped forward. “Sadi. Come.”Sadi swallowed hard and obeyed.As s
The Shadow That Knows His Name
Night fell over the Sky Temple like a velvet sheet, thick and heavy, as if the stars themselves hesitated to shine. The celebration of the ceremony had already faded; the claps, the cheers, the shock—all swallowed by the creeping silence.But peace never lasted long here.Not anymore.Sadi walked across the quiet courtyard leading toward the trainee chambers. The Sword of Surtr hung on his back in a sealed scabbard, its heat muted yet alive—like a sleeping beast aware of his heartbeat.Wind brushed his hair. The sky was clear, but the air felt wrong. Too still. Too sharp.Something was waiting.Something had followed him from the arena.He reached the corridor, footsteps echoing. A soft glow from the lanterns swayed on the walls, casting long shadows that trembled like living things.Sadi inhaled deeply.Someone was here.“Are you going to hide the whole night,” Sadi said calmly without turning, “or is this another test?”A low chuckle answered him.Not human.Not beast.Something in
