The iron gates of Dragon Academy loom before you, rusted with the blood of countless hopefuls who came before. The wind carries the distant roar of dragons and the acrid smell of smoke from the Trial of Fire and Blood. Torches flicker along the stone walls, casting long shadows that dance like hungry flames. You clutch your father Marcus Fayran's insignia—a legend's name that now weighs heavy on your shoulders. Other candidates eye you with a mix of envy and malice; here, your legacy is both shield and target. The ground trembles as a massive wyvern passes overhead, its shadow swallowing the courtyard. An instructor with cold, dead eyes barks your name. "you Fayran. Step forward. Your trial begins now." The crowd parts, and the path to death—or glory—lies open. Will you walk it?
