Chapter 4 - The Curse of the Lost Lineage

I thought everything was finally over after I got the Dragon's bloodline…

but I was wrong.

Since that day, something weird started happening inside me.

My body felt heavier, my veins glowed sometimes in the dark, and I could hear whispers… whispering my name.

Sometimes I couldn't sleep, because when I closed my eyes, I saw faces —

creatures, ancient ones — watching me from the darkness.

> "The blood you took… it's not yours…"

"Return it… or it will consume you."

I didn't understand what they meant, but deep down, I could feel it — the two bloodlines inside me, fighting.

The wolf and the dragon… they didn't want to share the same body.

One night, I almost lost control.

My arm turned red like fire, scales appeared on my skin, and I screamed so loud the mountains echoed my voice.

Then, I heard another voice inside my head — calm, but cold.

> "You've taken what's forbidden… the lost lineage's curse has found you."

I fell to my knees. My body burned from the inside, and I saw it — a black mark forming over my heart.

It pulsed like it was alive.

> "What… what is this…?"

I couldn't move.

The wolf's energy was fading, and the dragon's rage was growing stronger.

If I didn't do something, one of them would kill the other… and me with them.

That's when I decided…

I won't let any bloodline control me.

I'll control them.

Even if it kills me.

So that night, I began training again — not to fight others, but to fight the curse inside me.

I don't know how long I'll last…

But one thing's clear —

I'm not the same boy anymore.
