Chapter 10: Advantage
Chapter 10 –
Kaden lay on his bed, eyes fixed on the plain, black ceiling of his chamber.
He had just returned from his meeting with his parents.

The Warborn Trials—a series of challenges assigned by the family patriarch to every young member upon awakening their Origin.
In a family like his, where battle was a way of life, your path was forged the moment you awakened. Your worth was measured through combat. And once you received your first trial...
There was no turning back.
