Zhao Long: Spear of the Dragon
"Only the fearless heart, can soar to the heavens."
In Cadia Riverlands, a young boy emerges from the ashes of a razed village, clutching the shattered remains of a spear. Orphaned, nameless, and driven only by instinct, he survives a brutal trek to the legendary Tianyin Swordmaster Sect—a secluded martial order that venerates the sword and rejects all else.
Taken in as an exception, the boy is renamed Zhao Long, a name invoking the silent watch of the dragon. Five years pass, and Zhao Long remains an outsider, training alone with the weapon his soul seems unwilling to let go—the spear. To the Sect, it is a relic of foot soldiers, a crude tool far beneath the elegance of the blade.
But Zhao Long persists. In secret, in silence, he carves his own path—movement by movement, form by form—guided not by teaching but by an echo deep within his body, one even he does not understand. Scorned by peers, overlooked by masters, he remains steadfast.
One night, as moonlight bathes the mountain, a cloud in the shape of a dragon passes overhead. It sees him. It remembers.
And so begins the story of a boy who defied tradition…
…a warrior who would awaken the forgotten power of the spear.
…a dragon yet to rise.
