The Chance
Calen’s storm surged forward like a living beast, the sky boiling above as jagged spears of lightning tore down around Tharstan. The air turned sharp and metallic, the pressure so great it felt as though the world itself was holding its breath. Each strike left the ground smoking and shattered, forcing Tharstan to his knees.“Calen, stop!” Carmen’s voice cut through the chaos like a desperate chord, but it was swallowed almost instantly by the roar of the tempest. Her pendant burned against her skin, pulsing with a deep, ancient rhythm. Her eyes, glassy and wet, held something no one expected: grief.Those around her froze. Seraphina’s blade lowered a fraction. Even Queen Elara’s stance faltered, brows knitting in confusion. Why would Carmen, the unyielding daughter of Drakhtarion, cry out for mercy for an enemy commander?The storm hammered down again. A bolt struck so close the shockwave knocked soldiers from their feet.“Don’t kill him!” Carmen’s voice broke, the words ragged. “Tha
Fire!
Before Calen could even decide on his next move, the air trembled with the sudden, shrill whistling of arrows. The sound grew into a rising storm of death, and the sky above the battleground seemed to darken—not from clouds, but from the rain of flaming projectiles arcing through the air.“Fire!” a commanding voice roared from the ridge. Through the haze of smoke, crimson-and-gold banners of Aerondale unfurled against the wind. At their head rode Evan Drake, his expression carved from steel, his eyes sharp with cold determination. The crest of House Drake glinted on his breastplate, each stride of his warhorse pounding like a drumbeat of war. Behind him, rank upon rank of Aerondale’s finest surged forward under King Theron’s orders, shields interlocked, their unified war cries rolling like thunder down the valley slopes.The first wave struck like a tempest. Flaming arrows rained down, smashing into the ground with bursts of fire, scorching the grass and sending shimmering heat waves
Half-Blood Girl
Calen turned sharply toward Carmen, his storm-filled eyes narrowing with suspicion. “Don’t speak nonsense, Carmen,” he said, his voice like rolling thunder. “You might already be under Tharstan’s spell. He’s manipulating your mind.”Carmen’s expression hardened. Her eyes shimmered with sorrow and defiance. “I’m not under any spell, Calen. This is real. What I saw, what I felt—it’s not some illusion.”Whispers broke out among the Drakhtarion ranks. Several warriors sneered. One in blood-red armor stepped forward, his voice a venomous hiss. “Then she’s a traitor. Kill her along with the beast she defends. End them both now.”“She’s not one of us,” spat another, his horns glinting with blood and ash. “No horns, no heritage. She’s always been an outsider. That shield she cast—it’s not Drakhtarion magic.”“She's corrupted,” growled a third. “That pendant is cursed. Queen Iralyn wouldn’t choose a half-blood without a name.”“No!” Calen’s voice cracked like lightning, silencing them all. “Ca
The Storm Unleashed
The sky cracked open.From above the shattered battlefield, storm clouds churned with unnatural fury. Calen’s entire body pulsed with blinding light—his skin veined with lightning, his eyes aglow with raw, divine energy. He hovered slightly above the ground, suspended in the air as arcs of electricity twisted and screamed around him.“Tharstan!” Calen’s voice was no longer his own—it echoed with the storm itself, deep, ancient, and righteous. “You have to be vanish in order that others could live! I must kill you!”Tharstan knelt on the scorched earth, panting heavily, struggling to lift his blade. He was already wounded—blood dripped from his mouth, and a deep gash across his side throbbed with every breath. His golden armor, once radiant, was cracked and blackened from the earlier clash.But Calen had not finished.He raised one hand, and the sky obeyed. A monstrous bolt of lightning tore through the heavens and slammed into the ground beside Tharstan, throwing up a shockwave of hea
The Chosen Vessel
As the blinding stormlight erupted from Calen’s body, sending shockwaves across the battlefield and silencing all who watched, Carmen collapsed to her knees beside the edge of the ravine. Her body trembled, not from pain, but from something deeper—something ancient stirring within her. Her eyes fluttered shut, and the noise of the war faded into nothingness.Suddenly, she was no longer in the battlefield.She stood barefoot on a vast expanse of shimmering water that reflected a sky filled with swirling auroras. The air was thick with power, serene and yet oppressive. Carmen turned around, trying to comprehend where she was, when a voice echoed—gentle, regal, but filled with sorrow."You have returned to where it all began, Carmen."From the veil of mist stepped a tall woman with hair like woven moonlight, her eyes glowing with sapphire fire. Her robes shimmered with ethereal silver threads, and an aura of authority surrounded her. Carmen instantly recognized her—Queen Iralyn, the firs
The Storm Reborn
A hush fell across the battlefield.Smoke and debris still clung thick in the air, masking the chaos of moments earlier. The silence was uncanny, heavy, suffocating. Ash floated like snowflakes through the air. The very earth seemed to hold its breath.Nyra Kael and her faction stood in a loose semicircle around Calen's limp form. The strike had landed. Blood pooled beneath him, dark and vivid against the cracked stones of the sacred ground. His breath came shallow, barely a whisper, like a flickering candle on the edge of extinction. The runes etched on the earth around him, once glowing with protective enchantment, flickered weakly… then dimmed.Tharstan, towering nearby and locked in a tug-of-war with invisible chains of ancient magic, let out a guttural snarl. His wings beat once, stirring the haze, and his molten eyes narrowed in disbelief.“No… no, you fools!” he bellowed, voice shaking the heavens, his claws curling into the ground. “His life is tied to mine. You kill him—”“—A
