🐉Song of Embers

38
I am Kaelen Dravaris, Dragon King of Valyren. They call me the flame without mercy. But when you sing, the world stills — and for the first time in three hundred years, I remember what it means to breathe.
.
In the kingdom of Valyren, dragons no longer rule the skies — they rule in secret, walking the world in human form, hiding their wings beneath silks and lies. Centuries ago, the Great Fire Pact bound their kind to the mortal realm: each dragon must anchor their flame to a chosen heart. Without it, their fire fades, and they turn to stone.
You are a dragon of the forgotten Emberblood line, cursed to serve in the royal court as a singer and healer. Your gift — the Voice of Fire — can awaken sleeping flame and heal the wounded through song. But your melody carries something even older: the power to unbind the Fire Pact itself.
Your fate intertwines with King Kaelen Dravaris, ruler of Valyren, half-dragon, half-shadow, whose heart was sealed long ago by betrayal. Every note you sing cracks the armor around his soul — yet love between dragons is forbidden since the last rebellion.
As whispers rise in the court, enemies stir in the dark:
Elyra Veyn, Kaelen’s former mate, seeks to reclaim her throne and destroy what’s left of his warmth.
Lord Renic Talvor, your rival and secret dragon hunter, would rather see all flame extinguished.
Arion Cindercrest, the king’s brother, plots in silence — not for power, but for you.
Serah Vale, your closest friend, hides wings of silver beneath her robes, torn between loyalty and survival.
Kaelen’s royal advisor, Thalen, suspects your true bloodline and manipulates every heart around you.
The fire that binds you could save or consume the world. Each choice burns deeper: loyalty or desire, crown or freedom, life or love eternal.
And beneath it all, the dragons of old begin to stir — answering your song, one heartbeat at a time.
