Throughout Pioneer Square, humans had emerged from buildings to witness the impossible, twenty-seven dragons in full manifestation, their massive forms illuminated by streetlights and their own elemental auras. Some fled in terror, but many remained, phones recording what would become the most significant revelation in human history.

The Nullifier slowly stood, his enhanced perception allowing him to see beyond the fear that would have paralysed an ordinary human. "What happens now?"

Maya's massive form shifted, golden light pulsing through her scales as she considered the question. Through her bonds, she felt her mates' varying reactions, Kai's eagerness for a new world order, Leon's cautious strategic calculations, Darius's steadfast commitment to tradition, Cassius's excitement for change, Kieran's cool ana

    The displays around the Vault showed real-time footage from Order facilities worldwide. Field agents gathered around communication stations, their expressions shifting from disbelief to dawning recognition as Harlow's words resonated with experiences many had suppressed for years."Your primary mission now is threefold," the Director continued, his aristocratic voice carrying new purpose. "First, stabilise those experiencing awakening. Guide them through the transition rather than containing them. Second, secure Order facilities against panic responses from those who cannot accept the changes. And third, prepare to implement the original covenant protocols once they're fully restored."Maya watched with a strange sense of satisfaction as Harlow continued his address. Through their bonds, she felt her mates' varying reactions, mostly cautious approval mixed with lingering suspicion. The Order's global communication network was broadcasting Harlow's words to every facility worldwide, hi

    "They feared it," Harlow corrected. "And prepared accordingly."Maya stepped forward, placing her palm beside his on the scanner. "Maya Chen, Celestial High Dragon, daughter of Sarah Chen and James Radcliffe. I accept the terms of Protocol Ouroboros."The scanner pulsed with golden light as it analysed her unique resonance pattern, confirming what no technological system had been designed to recognise, the authentic signature of a royal dragon bloodline."High Dragon authentication confirmed," the system announced, its voice shifting to something ancient and resonant. "Protocol Ouroboros initiated. The Wheel turns."Through the Ley Line network, Maya felt the global response as the Order's infrastructure began its transformation, not destruction, but evolution. Suppression fields becoming monitoring networks. Containment facilities are being converted into transition centres. Weapons systems are powering down as defensive barriers are activated."T

    "You were not told the truth about your enhancements," she continued, golden light pulsing beneath her skin. "You are not merely human operatives with technological improvements. You carry the bloodlines of the very beings you were trained to hunt."Through the global network, Maya felt the ripples of shock and disbelief spreading among Order agents worldwide. Some responded with denial, others with anger, but many with a dawning recognition that explained lifelong dreams and inexplicable sensations they'd been conditioned to ignore."Those of you experiencing physical changes, listen carefully," she instructed. "Focus on your breathing. Accept the sensations rather than fighting them. Your body remembers what your mind was forced to forget."Michael stepped closer to the console, adding his own voice to the broadcast. "This is Echo-Seven, Michael Reed. What she's saying is true. I've experienced it myself. The Order has been using us against our own kind."Through the Ley Line networ

    Leon's shadows wrapped around the Director, immobilising him without injury. "Enough lies," Leon finished, shadows coiling tighter around Harlow's struggling form. "The only destruction will be to your family's control."Michael approached the central console, his enhanced perception allowing him to identify the specific interfaces designed for Nullifier interaction. "The authentication requires genetic confirmation and specific resonance patterns.""I can help with the resonance," Maya said, placing her hand beside his on the interface. "My mother built backdoors into these systems, but they still need authorised biometrics to activate."Golden light flowed from Maya's fingers into the console, merging with Michael's touch as he pressed his palm against the scanner. The system hummed, analysing both inputs simultaneously, the former Nullifier's genetic signature and the High Dragon's resonance pattern."Authentication accepted," the system announced. "Awaiting protocol designation."

    Maya placed her palm flat on the console, golden light spreading through the system as she accessed the Order's own environmental monitoring network. The displays shifted, showing real-time data from around the world, data the Order had been collecting but deliberately misinterpreting."See for yourself," she said, directing Harlow's attention to the screens. "The decline began precisely when your ancestors initiated the Great Purge. Eight hundred years of gradual but accelerating ecological instability."The displays showed unmistakable correlations, regions where dragon populations had been completely eradicated showing the most severe environmental degradation, while areas with surviving supernatural presence maintained relative stability."The Amazon," Michael observed, his enhanced perception allowing him to interpret the complex data streams. "Highest concentration of remaining storm dragons, lowest rate of atmospheric disruption despite deforestation.""The Himalayas," Cassius

    The preserved heart pulsed once, twice, then dissolved into pure golden energy that flowed into Maya's form. Around the Vault, the other remains followed, scales becoming light, claws turning to energy, preserved wings dissolving into their elemental essence. The ancient spirits, freed from their imprisonment, flowed through Maya like a river of ancestral memory.*Thank you, Daughter of Light,* came their collective voice, audible only to her draconic consciousness. *We have waited so long.*Harlow staggered back, his face pale with shock as he witnessed the dissolution of his precious collection. "Do you have any idea what you've done? The power contained in those artifacts...""Was never yours to take," Maya finished for him, her voice resonating with the combined essence of the freed dragons. "Just as the covenant was never yours to pervert."Through her expanded awareness, Maya could now see the full extent of the Order's operations, a global network of facilities similar to this
