Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: The First Draconian

"Before there was man, there were monsters. And now, one remembers."

Scene 1 — A New Continent Awakens

Zayden's Enterprise now spanned three continents. CoreTowers pierced the skies like shining daggers. The Uber-Dragon Transit System linked cities with flying mech-serpents, gliding silently over forests and mountains.

He stepped onto Karthos, an ancient volcanic land cloaked in cold mist — a place of legends and forgotten nightmares.

Medieval explorers shuffled behind him, fear heavy in their breaths.

"This place… it whispers," one said, voice trembling.

Zayden smiled, slipping on his transparent holo-jacket, the seams flickering like living fire.

"Yeah," he said, grin wide. "And I whisper back louder."

Scene 2 — Medieval Reactions: Jet Skis & Toasted Sandwiches

Along the jagged Karthos coast, Zayden unveiled a resort city beneath solar-thermal domes shimmering like glass bubbles.

Peasants screamed in awe and terror as jet skis sliced through icy waves.

A nobleman clutched a toaster as if it were a holy relic.

"It cooks bread by itself? What in the name of the Holy Flame is this!?"

Zayden handed him a grilled sandwich.

"That's progress, buddy. Welcome to the lunch dimension."

Nearby, a monk sniffed a stick of deodorant and collapsed.

A warrior eyed a vending machine warily, as if it might curse him.

Meanwhile, CoreTunes Radio blasted futuristic beats across the frozen land — drums, guitars, synthwave, bass drops unlike anything heard in 1200 A.D.

Zayden smirked.

"Bet they didn't see dubstep coming."

Scene 3 — Meanwhile: Beneath Karthos

Deep beneath ice caves, the Vault of Ashbones cracked open.

Chains melted like wax.

A reptilian eye the size of a carriage blinked awake.

The First Draconian Warden rose from slumber, muscles rippling beneath scales as old as time itself.

He remembered the boy with fire in his hands—from a future buried in myth.

"He broke the seal of fate. The time-flame walks again," his voice rumbled.

"Summon the Council of Guardians."

Scene 4 — The Dream of Fire

Suddenly, Zayden collapsed in the middle of a meeting, pulled into a vision.

He stood beneath a blood-red sky where Earth hung upside-down, and cosmic fire rained like falling stars.

A colossal being appeared—half dragon, half god, voice echoing like thunder.

"You who plays with threads of time… why do you defy order?"

Zayden met the gaze unflinching.

"Because order was broken before I got here."

The being roared, fury shaking the vision.

"You are not a savior. You are a spark that ignites doom."

Flames engulfed Zayden's form.

"You stole technologies not meant to be seen. You built an empire without balance."

Zayden snarled.

"Then come balance it, fire-lizard."

Scene 5 — He Wakes… With a Mark

He jolted awake, gasping.

His shirt ripped open, revealing a glowing Draconian rune scorched across his chest.

Lyra burst in, eyes wide.

"You've been marked."

Zayden flexed his fingers.

"Yeah. And not the cute 'call me later' kind."

Kael scanned the rune, brow furrowed.

"This… isn't just a threat. It's a location tag."

"They're coming."

Zayden gazed out toward the frozen peaks.

"Good. Let them."

Scene 6 — End Reveal: The Council of Guardians Speak

In a hidden star vault, nine beings gathered around a burning spiral galaxy.

Part alien, part ancient god, each radiated power beyond comprehension.

Draconians, Nagas, ChronoSeraphs, Anunna Constructs.

"Zayden Rai has broken the Third Law of Time."

"He has altered fate. Built an empire outside divine design."

"We must decide — does he deserve obliteration…"

"…or is he the one foretold to break the loop?"

End of Chapter 14.
