Drakonym | Part One: Welcome to the Ruby Rebellion

With rebellion spreading across the land, conscription is underway. One by one, hopefuls, outcasts, and stragglers are pulled towards recruitment, each chasing something different: answers, honour, redemption, or simply a way forward. And when you’re the last to arrive, and the last to rise, you may find yourself bound more by circumstance than certainty. Before war or glory, though, there’s food. Or at least the promise of it. From questionable rations to extremely specific tastes, it doesn’t take long to learn that a rebellion camp isn’t so different from any other school. Cliques form fast, tensions simmer, and even here, playground bullies still exist. Yet no amount of hunger or hostility can dull the moment between a dragon and its ward. Young or old, stubborn or curious, the bond is unbreakable. It isn’t about power, but companionship, or at least the promise of it. And sometimes, that’s all you need to begin.
