Zhenyu & Zeke – Vatican Trace
Inside a hidden digital tomb buried in a corrupted branch of the Vatican's archive server, Zeke decrypted a file Cipher's body left behind.
A whisper appeared in glowing red script:
"Return what was taken. The Crimson Line awakens.
The false-blooded must kneel… or be devoured."
Location coordinates: Rome. Beneath the catacombs.
Zhenyu whispered to herself:
"This isn't tech. This is ancestry."
Arielle — Night Terror, Blood Dream
She woke drenched in sweat.
Breath ragged. Claw marks on her bedsheets — but no wounds on her body.
In the dream?
She stood on a crimson mountain.
A voice spoke in her ear:
"You wear the name Dracas…
But you do not yet understand what it means to descend from the dragons."
Damon — The Gift Arrives
A small box wrapped in silk arrived by private courier.
No name.
No scent.
No signal.
Inside?
A fang.
Polished white.
Tipped in obsidian.
Wrapped in a scroll written in a language ARCHAIOS couldn't identify.
But Damon could feel it.
In his blood.
His pulse.
His name.

*"You are not the first of your kind…
But you may be the *last to choose what that kind becomes."
Final Scene — Unknown Castle, Shadow Realm
A figure stood in front of a mirror made of black ice.
Eyes pale gold.
Hair white as bone.
Skin like frost.
He watched Damon's image flicker.
Then spoke one sentence to the air:
"The boy bears our name.
But if he walks the Dracas path…
He will either rule eternity…
Or tear it apart."
