Around their camp, chaos erupted. Three more wolves surged from the treeline, fangs glinting and eyes glowing an eerie blue. Another pair circled behind, low growls rumbling in their throats as they sized up their prey. Celestia pivoted toward two on the left, her wings flaring to make herself appear even larger. Flame already flickered at the edges of her lips. Nina planted herself at Ethan’s back, warhammer raised, turning in a slow circle to keep the encroaching pack in view.
One wolf darted at Nina with terrifying speed, snapping at her leg. She swung her hammer in a mighty arc, caving in the wolf’s skull

CHAPTER 64: Blizzard Shelter
At last, they found refuge in a shallow cave in the side of a rocky hill. The blizzard howled outside as the three of them stumbled in, shivering and half-frozen. Celestia wasted no time gathering dry brush and scraps of wood, then ignited them with a breath of dragonfire. In moments, a small flame was crackling, and the biting cold began to ease.They fed the newborn fire patiently until it grew into a reassuring orange glow, casting dancing shadows on the cave walls. Only then did the chill in their bones begin to thaw. The trio huddled close around the fire, each wrapped in their thick cloaks. Outside, the blizzard raged, but in here there was a fragile pocket of warmth and light.For a long moment, none of them spoke. They simply listened to the mournful howl of the wind outside, grateful to be alive and together. Ethan flexed his tingling fingers as feelin

CHAPTER 62: Frost Dragon Crisis
Without delay, they raced through the streets to the royal palace, the icy wind at their backs a constant reminder of the threat looming to the north. King Aldric awaited them in the throne room, his face lined with worry. The moment the trio entered, he rose from his ornate seat. “Ethan, Lady Celestia, Lady Nina,” he greeted, relief plain in his voice. “Thank you for coming on such short notice.”Ethan bowed quickly. “We came as fast as we could, Your Majesty.” Celestia and Nina dipped respectful nods beside him. Celestia’s tail swayed behind her in restrained agitation; she could sense the tension in the hall—and the distant presence of a powerful dragon, even here.The King wasted no time. “Our northern frontier is under attack by a Frost Dragon,” he announced gravely, his voice echoing in the vaulted chamber. A hush fell among those assembled. “It descended
CHAPTER 61: Fireheart
By mid-morning, Ethan, Celestia, and Nina stood once again at the gates of Mistveil Mines. The fire dragon’s fang, wrapped in heavy canvas, rested across Nina’s back as if weightless. Dwarven Forgemaster Haldor met them with a deep nod and led them straight into the mountain, toward the ancient heart of the forge.Deep underground, the forge cavern glowed with the light of flowing magma. A titanic anvil rose at its center, and a massive stone forge belched flames on one side, tended by sweating dwarven smiths. The air was sweltering, every breath tasting of iron and ash. Celestia drew it in with relish, scales along her arms shimmering. Ethan and Nina donned thick leather aprons and gloves offered by Haldor, anticipation coursing through their veins.With practiced efficiency, the dwarves positioned the dragon fang into the forge’s fire. Almos
CHAPTER 60: Platinum Adventurer Award
Ethan Lockwood pushed open the grand oak doors of the Adventurers Guild hall, and a roar of cheers erupted to greet him. Celestia stepped in at his right, her silver-white hair shimmering under the hall’s lantern light, horns and obsidian scales catching the glow as she held her head high. Nina bounded in on his left, the diminutive dwarf warrior beaming with pride. The trio had returned victorious from Mistveil Mines, and word of their triumph over the fearsome fire dragon had spread like wildfire.Guild members of all ranks crowded around, clapping and shouting congratulations. Ethan felt a blush creep up his neck at the sudden attention. Just months ago, he had been an unknown newcomer; now he and his party were being celebrated as heroes. A path cleared through the throng as the Guild Master—Garrick an imposing older man with ceremonial armor—approached with a wide grin.
CHAPTER 59: Mistveil Heart
A massive door slid aside to reveal a vast chamber beyond. Jewels and gold glittered everywhere: piles of treasure, ancient weapons, and the bones of past challengers. Ethan stepped forward cautiously. In the center of the pile sat an enormous dragon, resplendent in black-golden scales. It coiled its tail around a heap of emerald and sapphire loot. Its yellow eyes opened and fixed on the trio.The dragon’s voice echoed in the hall like thunder. “So, the trespassers finally arrive,” it rumbled, smoke curling from its nostrils. Its voice was deep and strangely calm, as if amused. “You have braved illusions, traps, and guardians. Why continue?”Celestia brandished her spear. “We have sworn to destroy you,” she replied firmly, voice steady. Nina stepped forward, hammer ready. “That’s what we’re about to do,” Nina snarled.The dragon chuckled, a sound like clashing boulders. “Many have tried. None have succeeded.” It unfurled its wings, long and spined. Heat shimmere
CHAPTER 58: Golem Guardians
They entered a vast circular chamber, silent and cold. The dome overhead was carved with the sigils of ancient dragons, and pillars encircled the area like sentinels. Three colossal golems loomed before them—stone and metal constructs with horned dragon heads and armored torsos. Glowing red runes lined their bodies, pulsing faintly. An eerie hush fell.The tallest guardian raised a giant greatsword and growled. Its roar was low and gravelly, shaking loose pebbles on the floor. Ethan’s heart pounded as he gripped his blade. Beside him, Celestia ignited a wick of shadow on her spear, while Nina cracked her knuckles in a confident grin.Ethan charged first. He lunged like a storm, sword overhead. “This ends now!” he shouted. He unleashed a spinning strike at the lead golem’s head, lightning-fast. But the blade met unyielding stone. A clang rang out as his sword shattered on the golem’s tough scales. Sparks flew like fiery rain. The shockwave hurled Ethan backward into a s
CHAPTER 57: Dragon Essence Traps
They ventured deeper into the twisting corridors of the Mistveil. Torchlight flickered on damp stone walls covered with ancient carvings. Each footstep echoed like a heartbeat. Ethan led with sword drawn, Celestia to his right, Nina to his left. Ethan’s skin prickled; every rune on the wall seemed to pulse.Without warning, a hidden panel snapped under Ethan’s boot. With a sharp click, poisoned darts shot from slits in the wall. “Heads up!” Nina shouted. She leapt aside and slammed her hammer against the dart launcher. Metal shards and venomous shafts flew apart as the mechanism splintered. Ethan rolled away just as a second volley erupted; the darts clanged harmlessly off the chamber wall.“Nice timing,” Ethan panted, wiping poison from his cheek. He staggered upright, breathing hard. Celestia crouched beside the wrecked trap. “Dragon essence,” she observed, tracing the dragon-carved glyphs on the broken pieces. “These traps feed on it. Every trap bears the draconic m
CHAPTER 56: Mistveil Labyrinth
Ethan Lockwood stepped into the Mistveil Labyrinth with Celestia Draconyx and Nina at his heels. The ancient stone archway sealed shut behind them, and the world beyond became a maze of shadows and shifting walls. Corridors curled like serpents into darkness, lit only by the flicker of enchanted mist. Faint lights danced overhead and along walls etched with dragon motifs. A strange wind drifted through, carrying the scent of ash and distant howls. Dust motes glittered in the dim glow. The air itself seemed to tremble with unseen magic as blue-white fog clung to the walls. Ancient glyphs on the floor pulsed and rearranged under their feet.Celestia’s draconic eyes swept every shadow. “Be alert,” she whispered, scales bristling. The hallway bent in impossible angles—floors flowing into walls, staircases twisting like spirals. Reality itself felt fluid. Even the echo of her whisper bounced back distorted. Ethan swallowed hard, every sense on edge. He gripped his sword’s hilt and
