Chapter 10 - LEGENDS OF THE NEW DAWN
Ten years later, the empire of Solaria was unrecognizable. The old walls of fear and corruption had been replaced by open trade, thriving provinces, and a royal court built on compassion rather than coercion.
The Sunken Temple was no longer a forgotten ruin at the edge of the world; it had been lovingly restored as a sanctuary of peace, where scholars, travelers, and weary souls came to seek wisdom.
And high above the capital, soaring majestically across the bright blue skies of a peaceful noon, Oren the ancient dragon glided freely, a living symbol of an empire reborn.
On the sunlit balcony of the grand imperial palace, Emperor Roan stood with his arm around Ellen, watching the great beast circle lazily above the sparkling spires. A small, joyful laugh echoed from nearby as their young daughter chased a golden butterfly across the marble terrace.
The legends of old had spoken of dragons bringing fire and destruction. But as the warm breeze swept through the capital, carrying the scent of blooming wildflowers from the southern hills, everyone in the realm knew a different truth.
