Chapter 5: Anything Wrong? Armored Dragon Calendar Year 412 – Claude, Age 7 --- Two years had passed since the water shattered my mind. I was eight now, though most days I felt much older. The morning sun warmed my face as I sat on the cottage steps, working a small piece of metal between my fingers.

Chapter 4: My Son, A Stranger Armored Dragon Calendar Year 410 – Roland POV --- My son was not the boy I raised.

Chapter 1: The Miko's Awakening Armored Dragon Calendar Year 410 – Claude, Age 5 --- The morning air carried the familiar sounds of Buena Village waking. Roosters called from wooden coops. The distant rhythm of hammer on anvil echoed from my father's smithy. Wood smoke drifted from chimneys, mixing with the scent of dew-soaked earth. I kicked at loose pebbles on the dirt path. I watched them scatter into tall grass. The sun had barely crested the eastern hills. The sun painted weathered thatch roofs in…
