The Crown and the Cradle

The palace square overflowed with life.

From every corner of the realms they came—humans in royal blues and silvers, witches draped in living vines, angels with shimmering wings folded reverently, and dragons in their human forms, tall and flame-eyed, standing shoulder to shoulder with mortals.

The marble square was dusted with petals from a thousand lands, and above them, floating lanterns glowed like low-hanging stars.

Elianna stood at the highest platform, the wind lifting her silken robe, her hand resting atop her belly, now full and round with life. Her face shone with power, but also with peace.

Beside her stood Drakonios—not the fearsome warlord of legend, but the man reborn. Still cloaked in his dragon’s majesty, but softened at the edges, his golden armor open at the throat, his hand gently cradling hers.

When the hush fell, Elianna stepped forward.

“My people,” she called, her voice steady and warm, “my family of every blood and every land. You’v

    Drakonios the Emperor & The Friend He MissesThe halls of Qombinia had changed.Once cold and echoing with distance, they now pulsed with warmth—children’s laughter, the scent of morning nectar, and the rustle of new life. But for Drakonios Tharros Azrok, now Emperor of All Realms, the silence that followed the celebration still left room for ghosts.He stood on one of the high balconies of the palace, looking out across the continent he had united by fire, blood, and sacrifice. The crown of flame above his head no longer flickered with wrath but steadied into something gentler—light meant to guide, not to scorch.Behind him, the soft sounds of Elianna and the twins filled their chambers. She was humming again—an old Xaerathian lullaby, one she had learned in dreams long before she remembered her past.But even the sweet sound of her voice couldn’t quiet the ache in his chest.“I should have said more,” he murmured aloud.The wind answered with a whisper, carrying the scent of lavende

    Elliot paced the corridor outside the royal birthing chamber of Qombinia, his boots echoing on the obsidian-tiled floor.“I’m calm,” he muttered to himself. “Very calm. I’m a royal prince. I’ve fought monsters. Faced betrayal. I once argued with a vampire diplomat in a blizzard.”Another pacing step.“But this?” He ran a hand through his hair. “This is terrifying.”Drakonios leaned against the wall, arms folded, watching him with clear amusement. His long black coat fluttered slightly with the breeze from a nearby enchanted vent.“I remember saying almost the same thing,” he said with a smirk.Elliot shot him a look. “You? Afraid? You literally breathe fire.”“Yes. But your sister screamed at me in six languages when she went into labor. I was half certain I was about to be roasted alive and I was the dragon.” He gave a slow, thoughtful nod. “Childbirth will humble even the strongest of kings.”Elliot groaned and buried his face in his hands. “What if something goes wrong?”Drakonios

    The war was over, but its echoes still lived in the corners of every kingdom—especially in the hearts of those who had once lived divided by fear.Seraphina stood at the edge of the human kingdom's border, her hand tightly clasped in Elliot’s. She wore a pale lavender cloak, and her soft, swollen belly peeked just beneath it—a quiet announcement of the child they were expecting. Her golden eyes scanned the horizon, where the distant rooftops of villages shimmered beneath the sun.Elliot looked down at her with a calm, grounding smile. “Are you ready?”She nodded, though her heart beat fast. “I don’t know what I’ll do if they look at me like I’m a monster.”“They won’t,” he said firmly. “And if they do… they’ll have to go through me.”They walked together past the threshold of the ancient wards that once divided magic and mortal. The guards at the gate straightened the moment they saw the royal seal on Elliot’s chest—but their eyes flickered warily to Seraphina.Witch.The word wasn't

    The Naming of the Twin Heirs of Flame and LightTwilight painted the royal garden in violet and gold, the air warm with incense, petals, and soft chants that echoed from the flame-lit arches of the palace.Tonight wasn’t about thrones or politics.It was about blood. About legacy. About the two tiny lives that had emerged between war and peace—heralds of a new era.Only the closest were present: Seraphina and Elliot, seated hand in hand. Elliot’s parents, watching with quiet reverence. The high elder, the dragon council, and a few trusted angels and witches—all standing within a sacred stone circle etched with the runes of unity.Elianna stood barefoot in the center, her long gown trailing over glowing Xaerathian symbols beneath her feet. Her hair had been crowned with woven pearls, each one carrying the crest of one bloodline—dragon, angel, witch, and human.In her arms, her son cooed softly, his tiny hands curling around the folds of her gown.Drakonios stood beside her, as proud an

    The Coronation and Welcoming of Queen EliannaThe skies over Qombinia had never looked so golden.The twin suns of the realm aligned perfectly that day—an event the sages called Celestial Harmony, said to occur only when balance had truly been restored to the world. The air shimmered with soft enchantments, and flower petals rained gently from the sky, enchanted to never wilt before touching the ground.Qombinia’s palace gates—once closed to all but the highest of nobles—now stood wide open. A carpet of woven starlight stretched from the skyport to the palace steps. And at its end, the people waited. Not just Qombinians, but citizens from every realm. Dragons in human form. Witches in flowing robes. Angel-kin with silver markings. And humans with hands clasped in awe.The day had come.Their queen was returning.---The skies stirred with the approach of the royal skyship.Whispers raced through the crowd.“Is she truly coming?”“She gave birth mid-flight, they say.”“The twins… born
