Kael and Gideon tore through the corridors, their bare feet slapping against the polished marble, as they literally forgot to wear their shoes after the chase against the nurse had caused them to lose some pairs

Gideon was hooting like a wild animal, and Kael was struggling to keep his hospital gown closed while clutching the plastic IV bag that was still dangling from his arm by a thin tube, and holding the drip stand with another.

They rounded a sharp corner near the administrative wing, ne

  • The truth

    Ash quickly dematerialized, just enough time, before he almost got spotted by the academy's search team.More than five men, armed to the teeth, with radar scanner which seemed to be like long iron rods, searched the entire premises, just after getting dropped from the Academy's helicopter.One of the men, tapped his earpiece, sending a message to the Control room, where the elders were gathered. But, not just the elders; Principal Cedric was there as well."... There is no sign of anything here, although the radars are picking up intense energy released from the premises," The man said, moving around, trying to place what wasn't supposed to be there."... I see," Principal Cedric said, tapping his chin, before adjusting his glasses, then said to the elders, "... What we picked up, a minute ago was a magnitude of powers unlike any corruption we have ever seen."He turned to face the Headmaster, a man with a serious expression which seemed to mask his deadpanned looking eyes.Dressed i

  • Transformations and Problems

    A massive pillar of golden fire shot straight up from the center of the plateau, punching a jagged hole through the clouds. Kael’s body didn't just "transform"—it exploded outward. His hoodie, his jeans, his boots—they all just turned to ash, unable to handle the sudden, violent heat. His skin hardened into heavy, shimmering gold plates. His spine lengthened, snapping and popping like a falling tree, as two massive, tattered wings unfurled and caught the moonlight.He wasn't a teenager anymore. He was a Golden Dragon, ancient and terrifying. When he opened his eyes, they weren't human—they were two burning suns that turned the midnight sky into high noon.Ash didn't run....... He didn't even try to stand his ground. The sheer weight of Kael’s presence—that "aura" Dravil had warned him about—was like a physical hand shoving him into the dirt. Ash’s knees hit the gravel with a hard thud. He bent his head low, his forehead almost touching the dusty ground, his small body shaking uncontr

  • The Ancient Dragon

    Kael slowly stood up, his eyes facing the moonlight, his sight not exceeding their gaze, he kept quiet... Too quiet.Then, he looked at Ash again.Ash slowly kept quiet, before asking, almost abruptly, "... What did you see? What exactly did you see in your vision?" He asked, but deep down.... in his heart, he truly was worried about everything. He had always known the Ancient Dragon for as long as time could tell, but to see this same person trapped in a body and thoughts of uncertainty.This... felt sad. "... I saw when I... I was the Ancient Dragon, this time I saw myself as a whole Dragon, in the flesh," Kael raised his hand towards the moonlight, "... I could see the scales, I could feel the energy, I could feel... everything, I didn't understand what I wanted, but I knew one thing and that's that I wanted Peace. No matter what was going on, I wanted Peace, I wanted to end the fight, I wanted the whole world to be balanced, this was my entire goal, this... Everything... I.... t

  • The great darkness

    Kael sat in the heavy silence of Mount Shara, the black sword resting across his knees. The metal felt cold, but it pulsed against his palms like a living heart. As he stared into the silver glow of the moon, his vision started to blur. The wind stopped howling, and the mountain beneath him seemed to dissolve into nothingness.Suddenly...A FLASH OF MEMORY:He wasn't sitting on a plateau anymore.He was suspended in a sky that looked like it was bleeding. Everything was a deep, bruised purple and suffocating black. Below him, the world wasn't made of trees or cities; it was a wasteland of ash. He looked down at his hands, but they weren't the hands of a teenager in a hoodie. They were huge, covered in scales that shimmered like polished onyx, and his fingers ended in claws that could rend steel.In front of him stood a darkness so thick it felt like a wall. It wasn't just a monster; it was a void, a swirling mass of shadows that swallowed the very light around it. It had a thousand e

  • Fear of the known

    "... ASH?!," Kael’s heart was hammering against his ribs so hard it actually hurt. He stared at Ash, who was just standing there on that jagged rock like he owned the mountain. The shock made Kael’s legs feel like jelly, and he sank onto a flat stone, his breath coming in ragged, white clouds."How long?" Kael managed to ask, his voice cracking. "How long were you behind me?"Ash hopped down from the rock, his boots making a sharp crunching sound on the gravel. "Since the dorms, Kael. You’re not exactly a ninja. You smell like dragon-fire and panic. It wasn't hard to keep up." Ash said with an air of sarcasm as he walked closer, his small face looking way too serious for a kid. "Now, talk, please. What are you doing all the way out here? This isn't exactly a spot for a midnight stroll... Definitely not with a hoodie.."Kael didn't answer. He just stared at his muddy boots, his head buried in his hands. The silence stretched out, filled only by the whistling wind."Kael, please , Look

  • Mount Shara

    The secret train from Eclipsera pulled into the city terminal with a hiss that sounded way too loud in the midnight quiet. Kael stepped onto the platform, feeling the sudden weight of the city air. It wasn't like the academy; it was thick with the smell of old exhaust, burnt street food from a street corner he couldn't see, and the general dampness of concrete.He didn't look at the few people sleeping on the benches. He just pulled his hoodie strings until the fabric shadowed his eyes and started walking. He didn't see the small figure tucked into the shadow of a pillar, eyes glowing faintly as they tracked his every move. Ash stayed silent, a ghost in the dark.But, even with the silence, he whispered, "... What is he going to do?"Kael’s feet seemed to know the way better than his head did. He turned down a street where the streetlights were flickering, buzzing like angry insects.He remembered instantly, almost instantly, the corruption bee which attacked him, and how Principal C
