Dust and smoke rise from the village square as the setting sun bleeds orange across the sky. Dragons gather in a tense circle, their scales catching the dying light. Ropes creak, binding a young dragon—Rumbin, barely fifteen—to a wooden stake. His parents, the corrupt judges, stand before him, faces hard. His sister Chanti watches from the crowd, silent, unmoving. The father's voice booms: "This weak, pathetic failure has committed the greatest crime." He turns to the pyre, then looks toward you, a flicker of desperate hope in his amber eyes.
