Location: Sanctuary Eternum – Dawn
The snowfall was soft, but the silence… deeper.
Inside the estate, the light had changed—gentler, warmer. As if even the walls could feel it.
Three lives were forming.
And Damon could sense it in his queens before they ever spoke.
Nova – The Dream Stirrer
She woke from a dream that didn't feel like hers.
Hands over her stomach, she whispered softly.
"He's speaking already…
And he's calm. So calm."
She walked barefoot to the observatory, stars reflecting in her eyes.
Her body had changed—barely visible, but unmistakable.
The child growing inside her was brilliant, even in silence.
Arielle – The Fire Within
She trained less now. Not from weakness—but from instinct.
"She kicks like I did," she said to Rico, smirking.
"But I think she's smarter than both of us."
Her appetite spiked. Her anger sharpened.
But her laughter—real and constant—began to bloom again.
"I think I'm finally alive," she told Damon.
Elina – The Lullaby Carrier
She didn't speak much now.
She sang.
Soft melodies that Damon had never heard—languages long forgotten by humans but remembered in her heart.
Her daughter moved with the rhythm of her voice.
Elina's glow deepened. Not just in light… but in presence.
She was becoming the soul of the dynasty.

Scene: Damon Tightens the Circle
Inside the war room, Damon met with Zeke and Rico privately.
"No more open systems.
No more business exposure.
We tighten. We vanish."
"From this day on…
We rule from shadows."
Zeke encrypted all satellite tech. Rico upgraded patrols and began initiating The Hidden Protocol—a total lockdown on any approach to Sanctuary Eternum.
Scene: The Message Arrives
A dead courier.
Found frozen half a mile from the outer perimeter.
In his coat: a black envelope. Sealed in wax.
Damon opened it with gloved fingers.
Inside:
"We know about the unborn.
We've been waiting for them longer than you've been alive.
Do not let them leave that house.
Or we will take them."
No signature. No symbol. No scent.
But Damon's smile?
Predatory.
Final Scene – Damon's Vow
He stood at the edge of the nursery. Behind the reinforced glass, the rooms were ready. Cradles carved from stone and velvet. Walls lined with energy shielding. Music woven through the very architecture.
He looked up.
"You made your first mistake by writing this letter.
Your second will be trying to get close."
He crumpled the note, tossed it into the fire.
"Come for them.
And I'll show you what it means to lose everything."
