Chapter 11 - Flames Over Nairon: The Rise of War

The sky trembled beneath Eleanor's roar as she soared over the palace walls. She unleashed her fire before the soldiers and war machines, as if declaring in a voice of flame: None can stand against me, if I so will it.The front ranks of the guard quivered, some stepping back, while others raised their weapons uselessly toward the burning heavens.

Though the Flame Kingdom had long been known as the most warlike among all realms—its vast armies and devastating fire-forged weapons unmatched—it now stood powerless before these beasts.Walls that had withstood hundreds of wars crumbled in moments beneath the claws of a single dragon.

In the throne hall, the king sat pale-faced, hands trembling over letters of threat and plea from neighboring realms. His confusion deepened with every passing minute.They all demanded he extinguish the hellfire, yet it was far beyond quenching.

But the terror did not end there…In the magic mountain, where the dragons had broken free the night before, fire blazed once more. With its glow, another prison shattered, and a massive dragon burst into the air, followed by a quake-born roar from the depths of the cavern.Four Beig Dragons were enough to cover the skies of Nairon, their wings like dark storm clouds, their flames turning day into an endless sunset.

Fire rained upon the forests; mountain huts burned one after another, while thick smoke rose to shroud the villages.In the palace, the king sank deeper into despair. Missives from other kingdoms flooded his hands: some renouncing him, refusing to risk the wrath of the dragons—while three envoys arrived bearing different seals.

The messenger of the Water Kingdom entered first, bowing before the throne:— "My liege, our water faeries can suppress the tongues of flame. Allow us, and we will safeguard your people."

Next came the envoy of the Ice Kingdom, with its ice faeries, frost warriors, and sorcerers capable of freezing even the skies if needed.

Then rose the envoy of Zephyra, the Kingdom of Wind, his voice rumbling like a storm:— "The warriors of wind and faeries of the storm will be your shield. Should fire rise, we will smother it with our gales. Should dragons descend, we will drive them back."

These three kingdoms had long been bound to the king by an ancient alliance, yet in this time of upheaval… they alone chose to remain by his side, as the world around him unraveled.

Amid the chaos, one truth settled in every heart: this was no longer a fleeting crisis… but the dawn of war. A war with no place for neutrality.For even if the flames were quelled, the Beig Dragons would never be stopped.These beasts could be controlled by none… save the exiled bloodline.

And thus, the fears that had long haunted them were no longer whispers… but an inescapable truth.
