The Legendary dragon

The kingdom of Aetherion

The kingdom of Aetherion

Jun 22, 2025

Chapter 4.

Far from the quiet greenery of dragon village,
beyond the misty mountains and winding rivers,
stood the majestic kingdom of Aetherion - a
land of silver towers, bustling streets,and
legacy carved in stone.

It was a land of pride, prosperity and power.

And it was preparing for the greatest 
Festival in five years.

The streets of Aetherion pulsed with life.
townsfolk worked tirelessly, hanging banners of 
gold and crimson from their windows.children
ran through the alleys with painted face,and
merchants decorated their stalls with exotic 
fabrics, sweet treats,and carved wooden 
swords.

Laughter and excitement filled the air.

In the heart of the kingdom, workers toiled day
and night to complete a massive coliseum - the 
great battle arena.hammers changed, stone 
dust rose in the sunlight, and enchantment 
shimmered in the scaffolding.the arena would 
soon host warriors and magic users from 
across the lands, and every strike of the chisel
brought them closer to the Legendary battles.

Not far from the arena, the grand castle of
Aetherion stood like a crown atop the capital.

It's high Walls gleamed in the sun, guarded by
rows of elite soldiers.some trained in 
formation, others patrolled the stone corridors 
with silent precision.the kingdoms strength 
was not only in its people - but in its discipline.

Inside the royal throne room, chandeliers of 
crystal light shimmered above as nobles and 
ministers knelt before the king.

Seated upon a throne etched in dragon bone 
and silver,king Altherion Draveth gazed down
with regal calm.beside him sat queen vaelora,
proud and poised,and there children - prince
Kaelion,broad-shouldered and noble;prince
Silas,lean-eyed and unreadable;and between 
them, the radiant Princess Elirya,her
expression gentle but distant.

A man in gleaming armor steeped forward and 
knelt.

"My lord,"the captain of the guard said,"the
preparations proceed well.the arena nears
completion.the street are alive with 
celebration.the people are ready."

King Altherion gave a small nod.his voice,
deep and commanding, echoed across the 
marble hall.

"Good,but let us not become careless.the
festival begins in seven days.I want every 
guard alert, every street watched,every 
enchantment tested.leave nothing to chance,"

"Yes my lord."

"And one more thing,"the king continued,"send
words to every kingdom and noble house:Team
registration for the great battle arena opens
now.it will remain open for three days only .
after that,no new entries will be accepted."

The captain bowed low, "as you command."

As he departed, one of the noble stood.

"My lord, the hearts of the people full of joy.
this years festival shines with more spirit than
ever before.all thanks to your rule."

King Altherion's expression softened slightly.

"I only wish for our people to live in peace....to
feel safe.....to dream freely.this festival honors
the blood that build this kingdom - especially 
those who gave everything to protect it.their
memory will never fade."

A Chorus of voices rang out in unison.

        "Long live our king, long live our king!

Than council was dismissed.

Later,as the moon rose above Aetherion,
casting silver light across the castles towers.
Princess Elirya sat quietly in her balcony 
chamber.

The lantern beside her flickered gently in the 
night Breeze.

She stared up at the stars, eyes lost in memory.

From behind her,her gentle caretaker 
approached."princess, you seem far away 
tonight.are you well?"

Princess Elirya glanced over her shoulder, than smiled 
faintly,"I'm fine.just....wondering if someone 
will return for this years battle arena,"

The caretaker blinked."who, princess?"

Elirya smile faltered."no one important."

The caretaker bowed and quietly steeped away.

Princess left alone again, Elirya turned toward the 
wooden sword mounted on her wall.it had 
grown old -worn, but treasured.her fingers 
brushed the hilt as a memory flickered.

FLASHBACK.
Outside the battle arena, years ago....

A young Elirya stood face to face with a boy 
her age.his face was flushed with fury.he held
a sword in his trembling hands.

"How could you do this to me?"the boy 
yelled.
"You promised you'd help me win-help me 
fullfill my father's dream! I'll never forgive 
you!"

His name was Bhaila.
The boy she couldn't forget.
The one who known as Raikuro.

Back in the present, Elirya pressed her hands to 
her chest and whispered.
     "I'm sorry Bhaila...."

Narration: The Great Battle Arena.

Every five years, the kingdom of Aetherion 
honors it's fallen king-a man who gave his life 
in the great war-by hosting the FESTIVAL OF 
FLAME AND HONOR.

For two days, the kingdom bursts into 
celebration - music, food , dance, storytelling,
and joy flow like rivers through the streets.but
on the third day,all eyes turn to the arena.

The great battle arena is not ordinary 
competition.it is a crucible for warriors, mages,
and heroes.teams from across the continent 
travel here for one purpose - to claim the title of 
arena champion.a name etched forever in the 
stones of Aetherion.

Because magic users are rare, the sight of 
spells colliding in open combat draws 
thousands to witness the spectacle.

:Official rules of the great battle 
arena:
1. Each team must include:
    *3 Fighters (magic user or warrior)
    *1 Healer 
    *1 Coach.
2. Only the 3 Fighters are allowed in battle.
    The Healer and Coach must remain on the 
     bench.their roles are:
      *The Healer:to support and heal after the 
        Fight.
      * The Coach:to observe, strategize, and 
          advice - but not to fight.
3. Magic power and weapons are allowed,
     however, forbidden items such as secret 
     potions or power - enhancing elixirs are 
     strictly prohibited.
4. All-out battle format:
    All three fighters from each team will fight 
    simultaneously on the battlefield.
    it's not turn - based, it's a war.
5. Victory condition:
     If all three fighters on one team are unable 
     to continue (either defeated or surrender),
     the opposing team wins.

The stage was nearly set.

The banners would rise, the horns would sound.
and lagends would be born - or broken.

Somewhere in the jungle, a masked warrior 
trained beneath the stars, unaware that his past 
would soon return to meet him at the 
great battle arena.

And somewhere in the castle of Aetherion, a 
Princess waited......
..... wondering if he would ever come back.
  
                 THE END 
To be continue.........
