Episode 15 — The Battle of the Frozen Pass
Snow exploded across the canyon.
The Frost Tyrant spread its colossal wings.
A storm immediately erupted around the battlefield.
Blizzards howled.
Ice shards filled the air.
The temperature dropped so rapidly that even armored Dragon Riders struggled to breathe.
The Dragon King had unleashed only a fraction of its power.
And already the world was changing.
Across the cliffs—
The Shadow Legion stood ready.
Thousands of soldiers.
Hundreds of corrupted beasts.
Dozens of corrupted dragons.
At their center stood the Void Dragon.
And beside him...
The Shadow Lord.
Watching.
Waiting.
Smiling.
Kai felt his stomach tighten.
The enemy army stretched farther than he could see.
This wasn't an ambush.
This wasn't a raid.
This was an invasion.
The Frost Tyrant roared.
The sound rolled across the mountains like thunder.
Ancient dragon energy surged through the canyon.
Nearby dragons immediately answered.
Silver dragons.
Ice dragons.
Mountain dragons.
All roared together.
For the first time—
Kai witnessed the authority of a Dragon King.
Then the Shadow Lord raised his hand.
The battlefield became silent.
Even the storm paused.
"Kill the Dragon King."
The war began.
BOOOOOOM!
The Shadow Legion charged.
Thousands surged forward across the ice.
Corrupted dragons launched from the cliffs.
Dark magic filled the sky.
The canyon transformed into chaos.
"FOR THE SANCTUARY!"
Commander Vaelor roared.
Dragon Riders launched into battle.
Silver dragons leapt into the storm.
Magic exploded everywhere.
Fire collided with ice.
Lightning shattered mountainsides.
The Frozen Pass became a battlefield worthy of legends.
Kai stood frozen for a moment.
Watching.
Unable to process the scale.
Then Nyrax growled.
The young dragon looked toward the enemy.
Ready.
Determined.
Fearless.
Kai climbed onto Nyrax's back.
For the first time.
Not as a passenger.
Not as a child.
As a rider.
The bond ignited instantly.
Blue energy surged between them.
Kai could feel every heartbeat.
Every muscle.
Every thought.
Dragon and rider became one.
Nyrax spread his wings.
And launched.
WHOOSH!
The young dragon soared into the storm.
The ground disappeared beneath them.
Snow rushed past.
The world opened.
For the first time in his life—
Kai was flying.
The feeling was incredible.
Terrifying.
Beautiful.
Then reality returned.
A corrupted wyvern dove directly toward them.
Its jaws opened.
Rows of black teeth flashed.
"LEFT!"
Kai shouted instinctively.
Nyrax reacted immediately.
The dragon rolled through the air.
The creature missed by inches.
Blue fire exploded from Nyrax's mouth.
The wyvern screamed.
Fell.
Disappeared into the canyon below.
Their first aerial victory.
Far above—
The Frost Tyrant fought like a god.
Its gigantic wings created hurricanes.
Entire formations of enemies vanished beneath ice storms.
One swipe of its claws destroyed dozens of shadow beasts.
Its frozen breath transformed armies into statues.
Yet even the Dragon King struggled.
Because the Void Dragon had entered the battle.
The corrupted monster slammed into the Frost Tyrant from above.
The impact shattered nearby cliffs.
Avalanches erupted down the mountainsides.
The two colossal dragons crashed through the storm.
Ice.
Fire.
Darkness.
Power.
Their battle lit up the sky.
Meanwhile—
The Shadow Lord remained still.
Watching.
Studying.
Waiting.
Then his crimson eyes locked onto Kai.
"There."
The word echoed across the battlefield.
Immediately—
Dozens of corrupted dragons changed direction.
Toward Kai.
Nyrax growled.
Kai's heart raced.
Too many.
Far too many.
Three attacked from above.
Two from below.
Others circled behind.
Nyrax dodged one.
Burned another.
But more kept coming.
A claw sliced across his side.
Blood sprayed through the snow.
Blue blood.
Dragon King's blood.
Nyrax cried out.
Kai felt the pain through their bond.
It hit like a knife in his own chest.
Suddenly—
The Heart of Winter pulsed.
Once.
Twice.
Three times.
Blue light exploded from Nyrax's chest.
The sky froze.
Literally froze.
Snowflakes stopped moving.
Ice crystals spread through the air.
Time itself seemed slower.
The corrupted dragons became trapped inside frozen space.
Unable to move.
Unable to attack.
Everyone stared.
The Frost Tyrant looked shocked.
Even the Shadow Lord stopped smiling.
The Dragon King whispered:
"Impossible..."
Then the Heart of Winter released another pulse.
And a gigantic spectral dragon appeared behind Nyrax.
A ghostly image.
Ancient.
Royal.
Colossal.
Its wings covered the entire canyon.
The battlefield fell silent.
The Frost Tyrant bowed its head.
The Dragon Riders stared in awe.
The Shadow Legion froze.
And deep beneath the frozen world...
May you like
Something ancient awakened.
A second Dragon King.
