EPILOGUE
"Your wife is asking for you."Christian did not wait for another word, his legs automatically carried him forward before his mind could catch up, his heartbeat echoing louder than the hurried footsteps that followed the doctor through the corridor. The sterile scent of the hospital faded into the background as every thought narrowed to a single person waiting beyond those doors.The doctor stopped outside one of the delivery rooms. "You can go in now, Mr. Sargent."Christian nodded gratefully before pushing the door open, the room was quiet, soft afternoon sunlight slipped through the curtains, bathing everything in a warm glow.Aurora rested against the raised hospital bed, exhaustion evident in every breath she drew, yet her smile outshone every light in the room.When their eyes met, the tension that had gripped Christian's heart finally loosened."I made it," Aurora murmured."I always believed in you, you've always been strong.” She reached toward him. "Come here."Christian c
WELCOMING THE FUTURE
"I think our little one has decided he doesn't want to wait until breakfast is over."The smile on Aurora's face remained gentle despite the discomfort that crossed her features. One hand rested protectively over her stomach while another contraction stole her breath.Christian reached her immediately, supporting her before she could lose her balance. "Aurora, are you all right? Is everything okay?” She nodded, forcing out a soft laugh. "I will be... but I don't think breakfast is happening anymore."The dining room exploded into motion.Mary's calm voice rose above the commotion."Betty, bring the hospital bag from Aurora's room. Lily, call the hospital and let them know we're coming. Charles, get the cars ready."Charles got to his feet so quickly that his chair crashed onto the floor. "I'm on it!"Edward caught him by the arm before he sprinted toward the wrong hallway. "The garage is outside.""...I knew that.""You clearly didn't."Even in the middle of the rush, Amelia couldn't
IT FINALLY FEELS LIKE HOME
"Christian, if you don't come downstairs this instant, Charles is going to finish everything before breakfast even starts!"Mary's voice drifted through the hallway, carrying the warmth and liveliness that had become a familiar part of the Sargent Estate over the past year.Christian smiled before setting the book aside on the bedside table. Sunlight poured through the open balcony doors, dancing across the polished wooden floor while a gentle breeze carried the scent of blooming roses from the gardens below.A year.An entire year had passed since the battle that changed everything.The Dark Mountains had long returned to silence, the forbidden gate remained sealed beneath layers of ancient magic, and the Veilborn existed only as a dark chapter recorded in history books. The four great Houses had rebuilt their fractured relationships, choosing cooperation instead of suspicion, and the estate that once echoed with grief had finally become the home Lord Sargent always dreamed of creat
I NEED YOUR HELP
"Do you think he would complain if he saw all this?"Christian's voice drifted quietly through the evening air as he stood beneath the old tree overlooking the western gardens of the Sargent estate, his attention fixed upon the darkening sky where the first stars had begun appearing above the distant mountains.Beneath the tree rested a simple memorial.No grand monument or elaborate shrine.Just a polished white stone surrounded by silver Eldewyn flowers, Stormborn lilies, and a small compass placed carefully at the center.Ezra's compass, Christian had placed it there himself.The memorial gathering had ended earlier in the afternoon.All the guests had departed early, and the estate had gradually returned to silence, yet Christian remained.Still watching the sky…. Still half expecting an irritating ghost to appear beside him and criticize his posture.Mary stepped beside him quietly, her fingers slipped around his arm gently."I think he would complain that everyone was ruining hi
NO MORE APOLOGIES
"Dad.... tell me this isn't real.... Did Ezra really leave me alone?" Christian's voice broke beneath the open sky of the Dark Mountains as he stood motionless upon shattered stone and broken sanctums while the final traces of silver spiritual light drifted upward into the dawn like fragments of stars returning to the heavens.The forbidden gate was gone.The screaming fractures that had torn through reality moments earlier had vanished completely.The whispers beyond the veil had fallen silent.The mountain itself, which had spent centuries trembling beneath corruption and forbidden rituals, had finally grown quiet, all the half dead, veilborn creatures dragged back into behind the gate.The world had survived.Ezra had not.Christian remained standing exactly where Ezra had disappeared, his eyes fixed upon the empty space before him while the cold mountain wind moved through his hair and clothes as if nature itself refused to disturb his grief.His hands trembled slightly at his si
LET ME GO!
"You need to fall back right now because the gate is collapsing!" Ezra’s voice echoed throughout the shattered convergence chamber as violent spiritual fractures ripped across the underground laboratory beneath the Dark Mountains while black-red energy erupted uncontrollably from the forbidden gate suspended deep beneath the collapsing sanctum.The war had completely spiraled beyond control.Stormborn lightning crashed violently against destabilized convergence force while Eldewyn arrays struggled desperately to prevent reality itself from tearing apart around them.The deeper sectors of the laboratory were already collapsing inward.Steel corridors twisted unnaturally, spatial fractures opened through the air itself.Whispers echoed from beyond the gate.Not human.... Not understandable.And somehow infinitely worse because of it.Christian stood at the center of the collapsing battlefield with blood running from the corner of his mouth while the relic beneath his coat pulsed violen
