Chapter 234
The amber glow of the Martian dome had softened into the deeper hues of night, the life-support hum now almost hypnotic in its consistency. Jackson lay curled under his blanket, murmuring softly in dreams of dragons and distant cities, while Matilda and Lena had been asleep for hours, their quiet breaths marking the passage of time. Jack remained on the couch, tablet in hand, the soft glow illuminating his face as he scrolled through DragonCom’s notifications. Ryan and Emily sat nearby, cups of warm drinks resting in their hands, the silence of the Martian night providing a contemplative atmosphere.Jack’s eyes flicked across the feeds, pausing at a new alert from Dragon University. “It seems some of our students have once again distinguished themselves,” he said quietly, voice carrying a faint note of pride.Emily leaned forward, curiosity sharpening her features. “Already? On Mars, and you still track Dragon University so closely?”Jack’s fingers tapped the tablet, pulling up the la
Chapter 233
The Martian night stretched quietly beyond the dome, its amber glow softened by the faint hum of life-support systems. Jackson had finally drifted into deep sleep, his small chest rising and falling gently, while Matilda and Lena curled in the warmth of their blankets, dreaming softly. The room was otherwise still, save for the occasional click and beep of Jack’s tablet as he monitored the systems scattered across Draconia.Jack leaned back into the couch, fingers steepled as his gaze swept across the digital feeds. “If the Hanging Cities represent the sky, then our next frontier is… the sea,” he said quietly, eyes narrowing in thought.Ryan, reclining in the adjacent chair, arched an eyebrow. “Underwater cities?”“Yes,” Jack replied, voice calm but deliberate. “Caribbean, Polynesian Islands, Southeast Asia, even parts of the Asia-Pacific. We’ve established controlled habitats in several deep-sea locations. Fully sustainable, fully secured. DragonBots are adapted to aquatic conditions
Chapter 232
The Martian dome outside shimmered faintly, a soft amber hue spilling across the living room. The hum of life-support systems, faint and constant, served as a backdrop to the quiet clatter of Jackson’s fingers against his DragonTech smartphone screen. Explosions of digital energy, virtual heroes, and crashing waves of enemies lit up his young face in the dim Martian light.Jack leaned back on the couch, eyes flicking between his son and the distant stars beyond the dome. “Jackson,” he said softly, “remember what I told you earlier? Gaming is fun, but you need to rest. Let your mind breathe. Curiosity isn’t just about asking—it’s about knowing when to listen too.”Jackson’s gaze didn’t waver from the screen. “I’m learning, Dad! Strategy, timing… teamwork!”Jack chuckled faintly, letting the warmth of his presence fill the space between them. “Learning… yes. But there are other lessons waiting for you beyond screens. Ones you can’t pause or reset. Keep that in mind, Jackson.”The boy’s
Chapter 231
Jackson sat cross-legged on the Martian floor, DragonTech smartphone in hand, his small fingers dancing across the screen as colorful explosions and digital heroes leapt across his game. The soft hum of the dome outside was a faint backdrop to the sounds of clashing swords and superpowers emanating from his game.“Jackson,” Jack said, his voice gentle but firm, leaning against the couch, “enough for now. Put the phone down and rest. You’ve been asking questions for hours. Curiosity is good—but even the sharpest minds need a break.”Jackson looked up, eyes wide, a little reluctant. “But Dad… I just… I’m learning too!”Jack’s lips curved in a faint smile. “Learning comes in many ways. Playing games is fine for fun, but real understanding… sometimes needs silence, observation, and patience. Even superheroes need to recharge, Jackson.”The boy sighed, finally setting the phone aside. “Okay… but just for a little while.”Jack nodded approvingly. “Good. That’s all I ask.”Meanwhile, the adu

The Martian dome outside shimmered faintly, casting a warm, muted glow across the living room. Jackson pressed closer to his father, his mind still burning with questions, his pulse quickened as though it matched the distant stars twinkling above.“Dad…” Jackson began, fidgeting slightly, “does it… rain on other planets? Or… snow? Like… on Mars, Jupiter, Saturn… do they get weather like Earth?”Jack’s lips curved faintly at the boy’s awkward phrasing, and for a brief moment, the tension in the room loosened. He looked over at Jackson, taking care not to dismiss the curiosity that had lit up the child’s eyes.“Well…” Jack said, his voice calm, “not exactly like Earth. Mars does get dust storms and sometimes frost at the poles, which could look like snow. Venus has clouds of sulfuric acid that pour acid rain—not safe to touch. Jupiter and Saturn don’t have solid ground like ours, but their atmospheres have storms, winds faster than a jet, and even lightning that dwarfs Earth’s. Neptune
Chapter 229
The dagger’s glow finally softened to a faint pulse, leaving the living room bathed in a soft, warm light. Outside the dome, the Martian sky stretched endlessly, pale and quiet, a faint shimmer of stars barely visible through the thin atmosphere. Jackson’s mind raced faster than the light of distant suns.“Dad…” he began, voice trembling but insistent, “where does space end? I mean… if the planets keep going, how far does it go? And why is space dark if the Sun shines on Earth, Mars, and all the planets?”Jack leaned back slightly, his fingers brushing the hilt of the dagger at his side. He spoke slowly, as though measuring each word for the child’s young mind. “Space… doesn’t really have an end, Jackson. Or at least, not one we’ve reached. Beyond the planets, beyond our solar system, the universe stretches farther than we can imagine. Light from distant stars travels millions, billions of years just to reach us. Space is mostly empty, yes… but it’s not nothing. It’s filled with radia
