Synopsis: You have faced one dragon.

You thought that was the hardest thing.

You were wrong.

Brea Academy is healing. The stained glass windows glow bright again. The trees have pushed out new leaves. Students are laughing in the corridors the way they used to, and for a while it feels like the shadows are gone.

Then the crows arrive.

They don't scream. They don't attack. They perch on the highest branches and they watch - and when one opens its beak, it doesn't sound like a bird at all. It sounds like a memory you wished you could forget.

You did that. You hurt someone. That is who you are.

The new dragon is called Remin. He doesn't use lies. He uses the truth - the real moments, the ones you regret, the ones that still sting when you think about them too long - and he stitches them together into a verdict.

But Princess Zayla has learned something.

The past can teach you.

It was never meant to name you.

Your worst moment is not your identity. The question is not what you did. The question is what you choose now - and whether you are brave enough to let the difference matter.
