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 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…

Chapter 16: Before They Must Run Armored Dragon Calendar Year 417 – Weeks Before the Metastasis --- I hated Claude. The training ground was muddy from yesterday's rain, and my arms ached from the exercises he had forced us through since dawn. Wooden sword in my trembling hands, bruises forming beneath my clothes, I watched him demonstrate another form with the detached precision of someone who had never known struggle. He made it look easy. Every movement flowed into the next with a grace that seemed…

Chapter 15: What I Cannot Say Armored Dragon Calendar Year 416 – Claude, Age 11 --- The wooden swords clattered together in the morning light, accompanied by the shouts and laughter of a dozen children. "No, no—keep your elbows in!" I corrected, adjusting young Tomas's stance. The seven-year-old son of the village baker had the enthusiasm of three boys but the coordination of half of one. "Like this, see?" "I'm trying!" he protested, but his grin undermined any frustration. The training yard behind…

Chapter 14: The Limit We Call Barrier Armored Dragon Calendar Year 416 – Claude, Age 11 --- The breakthrough came when I stopped trying to force it. I was training alone in the forest clearing, running through sword forms that had become as natural as breathing. Dawn light filtered through the canopy, casting dappled shadows across the worn ground where countless sessions had beaten down the grass and hardened the earth. The combat presence was present but quiet, observing rather than directing. For…
