Scenes flash: a young prince on horseback, racing across the cliffs, and then the sudden, deafening roar of a dragon. Shoto plummets into a ravine, his arm crushed beneath a massive stone. Five hours of torment have passed. Sunset stains the sky a deep crimson, shadows stretching long and thin across the rocks. The focus tightens on his face, twisted in pain, and his trapped, bleeding hand. He is utterly alone. His strength is nearly gone. The wind screams through the gorge like a herald of doom. He faces a choice: a chance at life, or a final, terrible sacrifice.
