Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: A Throne in Flames

Location: Unknown Realm - Beyond

the Red Portal

Manni Kumar had blacked out.

Or so he thought.

He blinked once-and found himself standing on molten glass. A vast, endless land of fire, cracked rock, and ash. Red mist swirled in the sky.

Floating islands hovered above volcanoes, and giant obsidian structures spiraled toward burning clouds.

And before him... was a portal. Glowing crimson.

Still humming from the energy that had pulled him here.

He wasn't on Earth anymore.

And his body... felt different.

Draconis Prime - The Forbidden

Dragon World

This world wasn't built by mortals.

It was forged.

Manni wandered through valleys of obsidian and scorched bone. The sun was red and hung unnaturally close. Strange winged beasts flew overhead-some the size of fighter jets. Others crawled along jagged cliffs, their eyes glowing with primordial intelligence.

And in the distance, beyond mountains of flame...

He saw a throne.

He saw a throne.

Carved from dragon skulls. Crowned in fire.

And surrounding it were nine massive banners, each planted into the ground like declarations of war. Each bore the sigil of a Dragon House.

The Trial Begins

Manni walked toward the throne, the heat not bothering him. His body no longer felt human.

The closer he got, the more the banners reacted.

Each pulsed with energy. Watching. Waiting.

Until-one ignited in flame.

The Sheera banner.

The fire lifted upward like a tornado, and from it emerged a holographic projection—a man covered in scales of crimson gold, horns spiralingcovered in scales of crimson gold, horns spiraling from his head, eyes deep as supernovas.

"You dare sit upon our throne, human?" the projection growled.

Manni stared back, unsure how to respond.

"Unless you are of the Nine, the throne will consume you.

Show your blood... or burn."

The ground cracked. The throne's fire reached toward him like claws.

Manni's chest pulsed.

The orb.

It melted into his heart-releasing a burst of black and red light.

The fire stopped.

Silence.

Then...

All Nine Banners erupted.

And knelt.

The portal shimmered once more.

This time, it responded to his thoughts.

Manni looked at the burning world one last time.

Then stepped through.

No one heard the silent roar in his soul.

But they would.
