Maegaron Estate – Dragonforged Vault, Two Weeks Later
The forge roared.
White-hot flames danced within the deep heart of the Maegaron vault, a sacred place once reserved for the crafting of ceremonial weapons. Now, under Kaelarys's hand, it had become something far greater. Runes glowed along the walls—etched into stone and infused with blood magic from the now-completed ritual circles Azhakan had designed. The vault trembled with power.
Three dragon eggs rested at the center of a runed triangle on the floor. They pulsed in rhythm, as though beating with a heart. Magic coiled in the air—thick and hungry.
Kaelarys stood bare-chested before the anvil, arms covered in glowing Valyrian runes, his silver hair tied back. He gripped the bar of raw Valyrian steel, unearthed from a hidden deposit in the ruined mines of Garayn months ago. Beside him, Azhakan chanted in High Asshai'i, his voice deep, resonating like a storm rolling across mountains.

Kaelarys reached out, and fire answered.
His hand flared with Soulfire—a controlled torrent of violet-blue flame that twisted around the molten metal. The system pinged in the corner of his vision.

Hours passed in intense work—he hammered and quenched, shaped and sharpened. With each strike, he poured willpower, memories, pieces of himself into the blade. A lifetime of struggle and vengeance. Rebirth. Secrets. Slaves freed. Power taken.
Then came the final act: dragonfire.
With a nod from Kaelarys, Lyanna entered the vault. Behind her were the eggs—two cracked open slightly, emitting heat and raw energy. Azhakan's runes flared to life.
The fire burst forth.
It wasn't just heat—it was creation. The sacred fire of old Valyria, reborn in this chamber through magic and force of will. The steel screamed as it drank the fire, and Kaelarys screamed with it, holding the blade with both hands as it fused with the magic in his veins.
The light died. The flames vanished.
And the blade was born.
It was a monstrous thing—sleek and black, with waves of red and violet glinting beneath the surface. Draconic runes spiraled down its length. Its name came to him not from thought, but instinct.
"Draezhar."Bloodflame.

Kaelarys held the blade aloft. It shimmered in the forge-light like a living storm.
Lyanna looked on with awe. "What now?"
"Now," Kaelarys said, "we test it."
Three days later, on the cliffs outside the estate, Kaelarys faced a wyvern.
It wasn't as mighty as a full dragon, but its magic was thick—its hide near-impervious, its wingspan longer than a ship's mast. Captured in the wild by his slave-hunters, it had been kept alive in secret, too dangerous to tame, too precious to kill. Until now.
The wyvern shrieked, charged.
Kaelarys activated Bladebond.
Draezhar erupted with flame, and he met the beast mid-leap.
The battle was short—and glorious.
He cut through its wing with a flaming arc, spun beneath a clawed strike, and drove the sword deep through its skull. It died not with a scream, but with a sigh—as if the sword had stolen even its death from it.

Lyanna approached as Kaelarys stood over the carcass, blade still steaming.
"This blade could kill dragons," she whispered.
Kaelarys said nothing. He looked to the horizon—toward Valyria, and beyond.
Back in his chambers, Kaelarys reviewed the interface.

Kaelarys traced the runes along Draezhar's edge with a finger, eyes burning with ambition.
"I'm ready," he whispered.
Not just for survival…
But for domination.
