Kael and Lyrielle, now bound by love and trust, set out toward the empire of Emperor Kunal, a ruler said to command armies of titans. Their path leads them through the Jungle of Shadows, a place whispered about in legends — where monsters thrive and the trees themselves seem alive.
As they walk beneath the canopy, the air thick with mist and the cries of unseen beasts, Kael feels a strange pull in his chest. His instincts sharpen — danger is near.
Suddenly, a piercing sound echoes through the jungle. Lyrielle's elven ears twitch, and Kael grips his sword. They rush toward the source and find a shocking sight:
A small white dragon, no larger than a wolf, is cornered by a grotesque creature — a Goblin Squid, its slimy tentacles thrashing, its jagged teeth gnashing. The dragon fights bravely, its scales glowing faintly, but it is wounded and exhausted.
Lyrielle gasps. "A White Dragon… they are sacred beings. If it dies, the balance of this forest will collapse."
kael steps forward, his red eyes glowing with fury. "Then I'll save it."
The Goblin Squid lunges, tentacles whipping. Kael's blade flashes, slicing through the air. Lyrielle fires arrows, each glowing with elven magic, pinning the beast's limbs. The monster roars, its slimy body regenerating, but Kael's Ultimate Potential adapts — his strikes grow sharper, faster, stronger.
With a final surge, Kael channels his power into a devastating blow, cleaving the Goblin Squid in half. Its shriek fades into silence as its body dissolves into black mist.
The small white dragon collapses, trembling. Kael kneels, gently lifting it. Its luminous eyes meet his, and a spark of recognition passes between them. The dragon presses its head against his chest, as if claiming him as protector.
Lyrielle smiles softly. "It trusts you, Kael. Perhaps… it sees the same thing I do."
Kael chuckles, stroking the dragon's scales. "Then let's protect it together."
From that day, the white dragon travels with them — a symbol of purity and strength, destined to grow into a mighty ally in their war against Emperor Kunal.
