The name echoed through the Dominion like a challenge carved into stone.
Dragon Slayer.
The title alone carried history.
Ethan stepped forward from the throne platform, frost and flame circling his body in a controlled spiral. The mana within the hall had not fully settled from the synchronization ritual. It hummed, volatile but obedient.
Lysarra stood to his left, crystalline wings unfurled in silent fury. Frost gathered along her arms, forming elegant armor that gleamed like sculpted ice.
Kaelith stood to his right, heat rippling around her frame. Dark flames licked across her shoulders and down her thighs, restrained but eager.
Another blast shook the outer walls.
Not wild.
Measured.
The barrier didn't shatter—it was being tested.
Ethan closed his eyes for half a second.
The System fed him data.
