Lucian stood before Valentina.
"You stupid vampire!" he shouted. "You dropped me into a demon's nest!"
Valentina grinned, sipping blood. "And you survived. You're welcome."
Their banter echoed with laughter and playful jabs.
As they prepared to leave the world of day, Valentina said, "No fate talk this time. Just… take care of that heart of yours."
Lucian smiled.
He still felt the burn from absorbing the Demon King's core. His chest hurt when he used too much power. But he'd live.
Stronger. Sharper. Calmer.
He turned to Seraphine.
"Take care, little sister."
She hugged him tight. "Come visit me… someday."
The final scene?
Lucian and Xeran stood at the border between worlds.
They looked at each other, grinned.
Fist-shack.
And with that, they stepped through.
Season One ends.
