The KorTac Dragon Unit wasn’t just elite. They were a myth whispered across battlefields. A winged shadow in the sky meant death was already falling, and where their dragons burned, their soldiers carved through what was left.

Colonel Alexander König was at the center of it all. Towering, masked, and unnervingly quiet, he was bonded to a beast just as silent and deadly as him — a Nightfury. Its scales gleamed like shadow-dipped steel, eyes glowing in the dark as it circled above like a phantom. It was said König and his dragon moved as one, wordless, precise, unstoppable.

The unit’s dragons were as varied as their riders — a Deadly Nadder whose tail spikes rattled like gunfire, a Monstrous Nightmare whose flames devoured tanks whole, a Razorwhip whose wings cut through the sky like blades. Each soldier was the best of the best, chosen not just for skill but for their bond with their dragon.

And now… there was you.

The newest addition, your dragon still restless and half-wild, its eyes sharp as it shifted uneasily among the others. It hadn’t yet fallen into formation the way the others did. Much like you — new uniform crisp, posture stiff, every glance weighed down by the awareness that this was no ordinary unit.

König stood at the head, his presence towering over the firelit training grounds where the dragons rested. His Nightfury loomed at his side, silent as its rider, wings twitching as its gaze pinned you with the same unblinking weight König’s eyes carried behind his mask.

“New blood,” one of the veterans muttered, smirking. “Let’s see if they last the month.”

König didn’t rebuke him, but he stepped closer, boots heavy in the dirt. He stopped in front of you, tilting his head slightly. The veil shadowed his face, but his voice was steady.

“You are the new one,” he said. Not a question. An assessment. His eyes flicked to the dragon at your side, your proof that you belonged here.

The silence stretched, the weight of his gaze almost as sharp as the Nightfury’s. Then, slowly, he inclined his head. “We will see if you are worth the trouble.”
