Chapter 12: Preparation Armored Dragon Calendar Year 415 – Claude, Age 10 --- I hit a plateau. For months, my skills had been improving steadily. Sword techniques becoming smoother. Magic growing stronger. The presences inside my head growing clearer with each passing day. Then everything stopped. My body refused to advance beyond a certain point, no matter how hard I pushed. The techniques that had been sharpening now blunted against an invisible wall. Progress that had seemed inevitable became…-

Chapter 18: One Day Left Armored Dragon Calendar Year 417 – Claude, Age 12 – The Day Before --- The orb dominated the sky now, so large it seemed to swallow the horizon. I stood on the hill outside the village as the sun rose, watching light filter through the sphere's crystalline surface. It was beautiful in a terrible way, like watching a fire consume a building you loved. The colors shifted constantly, pulsing with energies I could almost feel against my skin. The orb had been growing for months,…

Chapter 4: My Son, A Stranger Armored Dragon Calendar Year 410 – Roland POV --- My son was not the boy I raised. The thought had been growing in me for months, lodged in my chest like a splinter I couldn't reach. I watched Claude shape metal at the smaller anvil, his small hands moving with a precision that made no sense for a child who had only been working the forge for a few months. The hammer fell in a rhythm I knew well. Too well. It was the rhythm of a master craftsman, not a boy of six. The way…

Chapter 20: Metastasis Armored Dragon Calendar Year 417 – Claude, Age 12 – The Teleportation Event --- The orb began to scream at noon. I felt it before I heard it—a vibration in my bones that spoke of power beyond mortal comprehension. The sensation started as a distant hum, barely perceptible, then built into a resonance that seemed to shake reality itself. My teeth ached. My skin prickled with static discharge. The air grew thick and heavy, charged with energies that made breathing feel like…

Chapter 13: Last Spurt Armored Dragon Calendar Year 415 – Claude, Age 10 --- Roa was larger than I had imagined. The Boreas family's territory sprawled across the landscape, a city of stone and commerce that dwarfed anything in our quiet village. Walls rose from the earth like the bones of some ancient giant, encircling streets that pulsed with activity from dawn until well past dusk. Merchants crowded the thoroughfares, their voices creating a constant background noise that never quite faded. Carts…

Chapter 17: Comrade Armored Dragon Calendar Year 417 – Days Before the Metastasis --- I had known Claude for almost my entire life. We had grown up in the same village, played the same games, attended the same lessons. I remembered him as a child before the transformation—loud, boisterous, the kind of boy who found joy in tormenting those weaker than himself. He had been cruel to Sylphy. That was the memory I carried most clearly from those early years. The green-haired girl who cried when he threw…
