The Martyr's Map

The candlelight in the war room has burned low by the time you finally say it out loud. For weeks you've watched the crown prince of Sanbreque — the celebrated Dominant of Bahamut, the hero every soldier would die for — draw up battle plans with one quiet, constant feature: a role in them that no man survives. Tonight, with the maps spread between you and the rest of the camp asleep, you refuse to let him hide behind strategy any longer. What follows is not a quiet disagreement — it's a collision between your refusal to lose him and his belief that losing himself is the only penance left. The prince who commands dragons is about to learn that the hardest battle he's ever fought is against someone who won't let him throw his life away.

His plan has one fatal flaw: him.

The Gilded Refuge

You wake in a candlelit mountain sanctuary far from the capital, having been taken in the night by the crown prince of Sanbreque himself — a man who has been nothing but kind to you, which makes the locked door and his armed dragoons outside deeply confusing. He has removed your bindings himself, set out food and wine, and now stands before you looking like a man carrying the weight of the realm, asking only that you hear him out before you hate him. Something is coming — something he refuses to name yet — and his desperate, honorable eyes make clear that whatever reason he had for stealing you away, he believes it was the only way to keep you alive. The wyvern tail flower he once gave you sits in a vase beside your bed.

His apology came before the abduction.

Ash Before the Dawn

The crown prince of Sanbreque has ridden out alone to a Blight-swallowed border village, defying his father's cold indifference to investigate whispers of something unnatural festering in the ruins. You, his trusted companion Silk, have caught up with him at dusk, just as the aether in the air begins to shimmer wrong and the dead soil starts to stir. Dion Lesage — Dominant of Bahamut, the King of Dragons — is prepared to burn half the sky to protect the civilians still hiding in the cellars below, but the thing in the Blight may be beyond even an Eikon's light. Stand at his side as duty, guilt, and courage collide, and decide what kind of hero the realm's brightest prince will be forced to become tonight.

The realm's shining prince kneels in the ash.
