Doran poured every ounce of his young strength into shoving his mother's wooden wheelchair deep into the thick brush along the edge of the border forest. The wooden wheels creaked softly against exposed tree roots, making Lyra hold her breath. Lilia huddled beside her mother in sheer terror, her small hands clutching tightly to Lyra's worn dress.

Lilia looked up toward the sky. Through gaps in the canopy, a cluster of massive black shadows cut straight through the light clouds.

"Doran, look up.

  • Their Lives on the Line

    Doran poured every ounce of his young strength into shoving his mother's wooden wheelchair deep into the thick brush along the edge of the border forest. The wooden wheels creaked softly against exposed tree roots, making Lyra hold her breath. Lilia huddled beside her mother in sheer terror, her small hands clutching tightly to Lyra's worn dress.Lilia looked up toward the sky. Through gaps in the canopy, a cluster of massive black shadows cut straight through the light clouds."Doran, look up. There are big, armored birds," Lilia stuttered, her voice shaking uncontrollably.Lyra froze. Though sightless, her ears and dragon-mana perception picked up the distinct heavy thrum of leather wings and the hot, raspy breath she knew all too well. A wave of bone-chilling intent rolled off the figure leading the formation."Kaelen..." Lyra whispered, her pale lips trembling as she breathed the name.Doran snapped his head toward her. "Kaelen? Who is Kaelen, Mommy? Is he a bad guy?"Lyra kept qu

  • The Dragon Strike Force

    Ryker clenched his fists, exhaling a long breath heavy with resolve. If the system blocks magic and elixirs... then I’ll use my own two hands and my own damn brain.He turned toward the workshop door and barked an order to his three trusted Orc lieutenants. "Gorg! Thrum! Bork! Get in here!"The three hulking Orcs marched inside."What are your orders, Chief?" Gorg asked."I need the sturdiest, smoothest hardwood we have in the storehouse. Grab a few bars of forged iron and some treated leather, too."Thrum furrowed his heavy green brow. "Wood and iron, Chief? Are we preparing for war?""Not a war," Ryker replied, unrolling a sheet of rough parchment onto the workbench. On it, he had drawn a detailed schematic of a wheelchair. "This is for Lady Lyra. You three, grab the materials now. Cut the timber to the exact measurements marked on this sheet, and bend those iron bars into circular rims over the forge. Got it?""On it, Chief!" Bork grunted eagerly. The three Orcs moved out without a

  • The Dragon King

    High above the trees of Ryker’s Outer Sector, a raven perched on a thick branch of an ancient banyan tree. Its ink-black feathers absorbed the afternoon sun, providing absolute camouflage against the dense foliage.The shadow raven's glowing red eyes were locked onto the market square below. From its vantage point, the magic construct recorded every single detail of the unfolding chaos.Once the entire incident was captured, the black bird spread its heavy wings. Silently, it launched into the air, cutting through the cloud cover and flying north across jagged mountain ranges and toxic valleys.The Dragon Fortress stood in grim grandeur atop the peak of an active volcano. The massive black-stone citadel was blanketed in a thick layer of grey ash and sulfurous haze. Inside the dark main hall, lined with towering stone pillars carved with dragon scales, the atmosphere was suffocatingly cold.CAW! CAW!The magic raven glided through a high arched window, sweeping down to land smoothly on

As a clever wolfkin, Cora knew full well that if Ryker so much as touched or carried the dragonkin woman, Aria's temper would blow sky-high.Cora stepped toward Lyra, who was still sobbing silently while holding her unconscious son. "We're bringing you and your family to a safe room inside the palace complex."Lyra could feel the icy air and suffocating tension radiating from Aria. The dragonkin woman was acutely aware of her standing as a he

  • The Dragon Boy

    Late afternoon framed the Outer Sector settlement in a warm, golden haze. Along the dirt pathways that grew more organized by the day, Ryker strolled side by side with his two wives, Aria and Cora. Aria and Cora were thoroughly enchanted by how a once-desolate wasteland had transformed into a thriving, bustling settlement. Aria’s striking eyes sparkled as she marveled at the delicate handicrafts of the Rabbit clan, while Cora chuckled in delight as several Wolf-clan females greeted her with deep, respectful bows. "Ryker, look at this!" Aria exclaimed, holding up a woven shawl spun with silver thread. "The craftsmanship is exquisite. I had no idea the outer settlement clans possessed such skill." "That's not all, Aria," Cora added, running a finger over a detailed woodland woodcarving. "The barter system we set up is actually working. They're trading goods peacefully witho

  • The Dragon’s Awakening

    The afternoon sun slowly drifted toward the horizon, casting a deep golden glow across the settlement sky. Inside the warm timber cabin in the Inner Sector, the joyful atmosphere from earlier had gradually given way to anxious tension.Lyra sat on the edge of the wooden bed, her clouded, film-covered eyes fixed straight toward the cracked front door. Hours had passed since Doran left for the market with the gold coins given by Ryker. Yet, as the shadows of the trees outside stretched longer and longer, her son was nowhere to be seen."Lilia, do you see your brother out there yet?" Lyra asked, her voice tight with worry.
