@paolini Eka elrun ono.
Funny how the wrong book at the right time can light a fire you never forget.
Thanks for the spark, Christopher — it’s still burning (even if my arm still aches sometimes).

April 2008. My childhood ended not with a kiss of fate but with the crack of bone against mud. A schoolyard. A cheap football. Laughter louder than the sound of my arm breaking. Pain, I learned, doesn’t knock. It just walks in and makes itself at home.

When I turned thirty, my dragon opened his eyes at last.
Every night since, he whispers:
Will you reclaim what was lost
or let your own fire die?

Some of those early members wrote their own books.
And I finally understood: my first story never died.
It just shed its paper skin and waited.
Your first book is never just words -
it’s the part of you that refuses silence.
My dragon never left me.
He slept through my 20s.
