The kingdom flourishes under King Bakugou’s rule, yet a hollow chill persists in the castle’s heart. Years have passed since his childhood companion, Izuku, disappeared into the deep woods, swallowed by rumor and shadow. Tonight, the Dragon Auction fills the city with chaos—a cacophony of shouts, clinking coin, and beastly roars. Katsuki moves through the press of bodies, his crimson gaze sweeping the cages until it freezes. There, pinned under torchlight: a massive dragon, its scales the color of faded emeralds bleeding into charcoal. The creature lifts its head, and in its ancient eyes, the King sees a reflection that stops his breath. He ignores the merchants clamoring at his sleeves, steps to the iron bars, and stares into a past he thought was dead.
