Location: Sanctuary Eternum – War Room, Midnight
The room was silent—lit only by the low glow of holographic maps and economic pulse lines.
Damon stood before his circle.
Nova. Arielle. Elina.
Zeke. Rico.
ARCHAIOS hovering overhead.
In his hand: the black envelope they found on the dead courier.
"This… is the last warning the world will ever send us."
He dropped it.
"Now we teach them."

Scene: A Message Sent in Blood
Damon ordered Rico to track the origin of the threat.
By morning, the compound in South Asia that sent it was gone—crushed by unseen hands.
Stock markets dipped. Panic headlines blurred across five languages.
But no name was attached.
Only a whisper returned:
"They erased us."
And that was the last time anyone dared speak Dracas aloud for a long, long time.
Scene: The Naming Ritual – Nova's Son
Inside the observatory, Nova lit silver candles, the stars reflecting off her belly.
Damon stood behind her, both hands on her stomach.
"He's watching the world already," she whispered.
"He's too calm to fear it."
She pressed her lips to Damon's hand.
"Let's call him Caelan.
Caelan Dracas Black.
The quiet storm who will change everything."
Damon whispered the name once.
And the wind outside paused… like the world was listening.
Final Scene – The Disappearance Begins
Zeke shut down the last public access port to ARCHAIOS.
Rico oversaw the last shipment of shadow funds into silent reserves.
Arielle burned the last business contract with her real name on it.
Elina pressed her hands to the crystal nursery walls—blessing them in silence.
By the time morning came…
Damon Black and his family were gone.
No pictures.
No footage.
Only an empire that still moved… and a silence that terrified those who knew what they once were.
