"Everyone has their own story to tell. From trauma to triumph, there is always an experience that defines how a person acts. There is nobody in this world who we can truly say has nothing to tell about themselves, after all, what are we defined by if not the tales of our greatest moments, the remembrances of people who created our childhoods? When we look at our pasts, often we think from our own perspectives. We talk about the mistakes we made, the things we didn't know, but even if we look back on what we did with regret I don't think we can truly say that we made the wrong choice. We simply don't understand our story anymore. This is something I've only learned recently." - The Third

Kael Valen’s life had always been defined by his ego, but everything changed the moment he met Serena Winters—a woman whose strength came not from a sense of superiority but from the scars of her past. She had learned to protect herself through hardship, a survivor of battles fought in silence, with a singular focus on achieving her dreams. They were worlds apart. His ambitions consumed him, and he rarely considered the feelings of others; she was a strong-minded woman who valued resilience over pride and self-reliance over dependence.

He saw love as something to possess and control, while she saw it as a partnership, an exchange of mutual respect and growth. Could they bridge this gap, or would their differences be too great to overcome? Would their love evolve into something that transcends their pasts, or would it fall apart, a casualty of their contrasting views on life and love? Ultimately, their fates were uncertain, but one thing was clear: love, if ever meant to be, would demand transformation from both. Whether they ended up together or apart, they would never be the same again.

Long before civilizations took root and mortals tread the planes of existence, there was a world where beasts reigned supreme—a realm in turmoil. At the apex of this wild hierarchy stood the dragons, beings of immense majesty, boundless intellect, and unmatched magical might. In the heart of this ancient age, a young dragon—barely a century old, an adolescent by his kind’s standards—embarks on a journey to find his place in a world where survival is the only law. Blessed with the rare ability to wield the Ancient Dragon Tongue—the first magic, and the foundation for all that would follow—this young dragon must navigate a turbulent society fraught with rivalries and alliances among his own kin. Beyond the dragons, greater threats loom: the Gods, beings of pure energy who embody the soul, and the Titans, colossal entities of mind and matter, vast as the planets themselves. As these three forces collide, the delicate balance of their existence is pushed to its breaking point, sparking conflicts that threaten to consume everything. Through centuries of trials, battles, and revelations, the young dragon rises from an unsure hatchling to a unifying figure among his kind. Yet, with influence comes peril.
