Prelude: The Gathering
Skybreaker was never meant to stand alone. He was the signal, not the storm — a herald sent to gather the flock for a king not yet revealed. This token — this ember — is not the fire, but the matchstick. It seeks those attuned to silence, those who sense meaning in myth. Each fragment claimed brings the army one step closer to awakening its general. When the day comes, the ones who answered the whisper will find themselves nearest the Shield.
Chapter I: The Ember's Cry
From the charred roots of a forgotten grove, the Ember sparked — a light unseen by those who lived above. It was neither fire nor ash, but something older, pulsing faintly with ancient design.
Chapter II: Born from the Winds
The winds carried more than air... they carried fragments of a future not yet written. Across silence, the cry spread. Each gust hinted at the coming of a Shield — one not forged of steel, but of will, of code, of fire disciplined by purpose.
Chapter III: Echoes of the Nest
In the hollow of a forgotten tree, a nest throbbed with myth. A glow stirred within — no mere warmth, but a countdown. Those who arrived early heard it not with ears, but with instinct. They felt the pulse of a system awakening.
Chapter IV: Skybreaker
The sky did not fall. It shattered. In the storm's eye, a figure emerged. Not yet named, not yet real — but destined. They would call him ███. And his Shield would not only protect, but reward. Through trials of stake and claim, his chosen would rise. But only those who held the fragments from before the winds broke could begin to understand.
