"Our world was dying. The twin suns that gave us life were fading. We needed a new home. My father, he was the king who found about Earth. Your world had strong barriers, but they were weakening. We thought... We thought we could ask for help. Ask for a place to live, our aim was to make peaceful contact for the first time with earth." "But it didn't work out that way," Jaime said, already guessing the outcome. "No." Abiagan shook his head. "The wolves attacked us the moment we came through the portal. They didn't try to talk. Didn't try to understand. They just saw us as invaders and attacked." "I'm sorry," Jaime said. "It wasn't your fault. You weren't even born yet." Abiagan managed a sma

He drew his broken claymore, the rune-etched steel catching the first light of the morning sun. "And the rest of the world?" he asked. "The rest of the world can wait," I said. "We have a family to protect. And a son who needs to learn that in this world, you are either the Architect or the scrap." I walked back into the Kremlin, the heavy doors hissing shut behind me. The silence returned, but it wasn't the silence of peace. It was the silence of a kingdom being born from the ash. The war with the stars was a prologue. The real story was just beginning. And with 112 chapters ahead of us, the world was going to learn that the Architect didn't just build grids.

“Like yourself.” That helped. A little. I stepped forward. The army waited. Hundreds of warriors. Maybe more. Dragons, Aetherfangs, Vaelcryns, Primas. Creatures and people I had only begun to understand. Soldiers who had no reason to care about Vandwood or Edenwood or the werewolf side except that their king had ordered them to move and his daughter stood before them asking them to bleed in a war that was not yet theirs.

"I've spent too long in the dark to let the world go black again. Mother... put the key down." The automated turrets in the room hummed to life, pivoting to point directly at Elara Thorne. The war for the world was no longer between the Thorne family and the Architects. It was between the Creators and the Created.

I did not have to open my eyes to know that Duncan and my father were there, standing behind Alpha Lorenzo and the vampire. Chaos erupted around me, the vampire who had been holding the gun falling dead next to me. I could hear the voices of my dad, Duncan, and others fighting, but despite my best efforts, I could not open my eyes. The pain was coursing through my body and each time I even attempted to lift up my head, I was struck down with pain. Harley’s voice rippled through the mindlink and I attempted to respond, but all I was met with was darkness.

My waist hurt as I tried to sit up suddenly, I ignored it and turned on the light in our bedroom. It is now bright over us and we could see each other's faces clearly. Although Leo’s expression is calmer than it has been in the last few days. “I promise you.” I look around consciously as if anyone would hear me, my voice above whispering as I said, “Do you know it’s not only humans that exist in this world? Like the real world? We have non-human beings living and existing with us. It’s so sick, it’s so nerve wrecking but it’s true. My father is waging a war against them and it is his retirement gift to me.”

A flood of images she could not understand. Worlds. Endless worlds. Civilizations older than galaxies. Beings made of thought and light. Creatures capable of shaping existence with a single decision. And among them— War. A terrible war. One so vast that entire realities had burned. Emma dropped to one knee. A scream tore from her throat. The memories wouldn't stop. The Creator rushed toward her. "Emma!" The moment she touched her— A shockwave exploded outward. The Creator was thrown backward. The Observer retreated another step.

He had no eyes, no nose, and no mouth, yet when he spoke, the very air of the city vibrated with authority. "I am the **Protagonist**," he said. "The first hero ever coded for the 'Aethelgard Universe.' I was the one who was supposed to save the world, before they decided that 'Realistic Humans' were more profitable than 'Abstract Archetypes.' I have been in this bin for fifty years, Elara Vance. I have watched a million 'Queens' come and go." "None of them were like me," I said.

He looked at the woman who was turning herself into a lightning rod, and then he thought of Leo, Maya, and Ren sleeping in the sub-core. He didn't say goodbye. He couldn't. He turned and ran toward the children, his boots echoing in the silent, dark halls of the Citadel. The 67th chapter closed with the first violet Harvester ship slamming into the Citadel’s roof. The Weaver stood alone in the dark, her obsidian eyes fixed on the encroaching void, while the Alpha fled into the night with the future of the species tucked under his arms. The war had moved past thrones and crowns. It was now a race against the extinction of the light itself.
