Seeker's Codex: Light Born
Readers of Seeker's Codex: Beyond the Abyssal Line know William Lockhart as the White Knight: Guildmaster of the Order of the Crescent Halo, master of Light Muti, Elric's polished protégé.
At sixteen, he's none of that yet.
He's a royal cadet from a lesser Britannian branch, Crown Light just awakened and barely under control. His blades of radiance stutter, his shields crack when pushed, and the wild lunges that will one day become Lightstride are messy, desperate flashes that leave his joints screaming. Commanders parade him as proof the Crown is watching the front, but in the mud and smoke he's just a boy who can't ignore civilians screaming behind the lines.
This spin-off picks up long before the Sixth Battle of Britannia, before Radiant Charge becomes a myth and before Master Elric ever calls him "protégé." We watch William at sixteen caught between palace and trenches, expected to shine like a symbol while his own conscience pulls him the other way. Every bad order he chokes on, every life he fails to save, every moment he chooses people over protocol is what slowly carves him into the man you meet in the main story-the White Knight who stands in Magnara, watching a new generation rise, determined that they inherit a better world than the one that forged him.
