Location: Arctic Reserve – Northern Canada, Private Dracas Territory
The snow fell in silence.
The land was untouched—frozen in time, wrapped in sky and distance.
And in the center of it all, a small circle of figures stood beside Damon.
Nova. Arielle. Elina.
Zeke. Rico.
ARCHAIOS hovered above them in projection mode.
They weren't dressed for war.
They were dressed for design.
Because this would be home.
Damon Speaks to the Circle
"We've destroyed. We've conquered.
We've silenced every threat."
He turned slowly.
"Now we build."
He knelt down, pressed his palm into the ice.
Golden-red energy sparked beneath the frost.
"A place where no enemy walks.
Where no camera watches.
Where our children… will never fear the world we came from."
ARCHAIOS displayed 3D layouts:
– Central fortress estate
– Three private wings for each queen
– Towers for Zeke and Rico
– Underground chamber for supernatural rites

Scene – Damon Gives His Name
Later that night, inside the jet—
Damon poured three glasses of dark scotch.
Zeke and Rico watched him quietly.
He turned to them, expression steady.
"You were my right and left hand through fire."
"Now you'll be more."
He opened a small black box.
Inside: two rings. Dragon-forged. Lined with blood-gold.
He handed one to each.
"From this night on…
Your names are Zeke Black.
And Rico Black."
No one spoke.
Zeke looked down, eyes flickering.
Rico closed his hand around the ring like it was an oath.
"We're not just allies now," Damon said.
"We're blood."
Final Scene – The Queens, Watching From Afar
They watched from the lounge—smiling.
Nova: "He gave them more than a name."
Arielle: "He gave them forever."
Elina: "He's already building the kingdom for the children we haven't even made yet."
The firelight flickered.
And the cold world outside could no longer touch them.
