The rooftop wind had died down, but his thoughts swirled like a storm.

“We follow the path,” he’d said.

Now, that path led him back underground.

The prison’s long corridor echoed with his footsteps. His boots struck the concrete like a warning. The guard at the security door gave him a curious glance but said nothing. They all knew who he was now. Word had spread.

Emily sat behind the glass again. Her eyes were clearer this time. Focused. And that was what unsettled him most.

Jack slid into the chair across from her. No guards. No extra precautions. Just tension.

“You came back,” Emily said quietly.

“You said something I can’t ignore,” Jack replied. “So talk.”

Emily didn’t hesitate. “George wasn’t acting alone. He had a partner. Someone smarter. Crueler. Someone who stayed hidden while he played the fool.”

Jack leaned forward. “Name.”

“Olivia West.”

Jack’s brows pulled together. “She died five years ago in the embassy fire.”

Emily shook her head. “That’s what they wanted you to believ

    Even as the lanterns dimmed and the holograms faded from the skies over Lake Victoria, something deeper had been ignited. The world had seen the future—and it had faces. Young, hopeful, diverse faces. And in the center of it all stood Jack Parker, Sarah Thompson, Emily Wilson, and two teens who bore more than a name—they bore the weight of what comes next.But in the days that followed the convergence, Jack became strangely quiet.Sarah noticed it first.He’d spend long hours by himself on the balcony, watching the sky—not in reflection, but in interrogation.One night, she brought him a cup of ginger tea, sitting beside him."You're thinking too loud," she teased gently.Jack sighed. "I thought reaching this point would give me peace. But now all I can think is... What do we do with this power?"Sarah leaned her head against his shoulder. "Then maybe it's time we help the world ask the same question."Two weeks later, Jack summoned Emily to the DragonCorp Nexus Core."I need your hel

    The applause still echoed in Jack's mind as they stepped off the stage in Geneva. Sarah leaned into him, her smile soft and tired, while Emily lingered a step behind, taking in the quiet pride swelling in the room.That night, back in Harmonfield, the Parker residence—modest despite the power behind its gates—felt unusually alive.Sarah stood by the window when the gate buzzed."They’re here," she whispered.Jack moved quickly. Emily followed, her hands tightening at her sides.Outside, a sleek electric transport pulled up. The door slid open.Jackson stepped out first. Seventeen, tall like Jack, but with Sarah’s composed aura. His dark curls hung low over his brows, but his posture was soldier-like. Behind him came Matilda—fifteen, quick-eyed, slender, a quiet fire in her expression.Sarah ran to them first, arms wide. Jack followed, barely containing the tears."My babies," Sarah breathed, hugging them tightly."Mum," Jackson said, voice low but steady.Matilda smiled. "We missed yo

    The sun dipped low across the Sahara, casting amber across the green veins of life Jack, Sarah, and Emily had once only dreamed of. The camels moved slow now, not from fatigue, but reverence. There was something sacred about the silence, the way nature and technology hummed in harmony.Jack looked at the horizon, still repeating Old Joe's words in his head. But something else pulsed inside him now. Something louder.Three days after that ride, Jack stood at the summit of DragonCorp Tower in Harmonfield, facing a transparent map of the globe stretched across a holographic wall. The system was alive—flickering networks across every continent: energy, water, knowledge, and communication. All forged by different projects. But now, it was time they spoke the same language.He turned to Emily, who stood quietly behind him, fingers interlocked."It's time to unify them," he said. "Not just in name. In function. One system. One purpose."Emily stepped forward. Her voice was clear, thoughtful.

    Jack stood in the center of DragonCorp’s operations hub, his fingers tapping lightly against the console where the Dragon Dagger still rested. The weight of the night before hadn’t left his shoulders—but neither had the fire in his chest. Sarah and Emily stood nearby, watching him, watching each other, eyes not heavy with fear anymore, but filled with something else.“We define tomorrow,” Jack repeated to himself under his breath. Then louder: “Let’s talk about DragonSolar.”Emily tilted her head. “You’re thinking it’s time?”“It’s overdue,” Jack replied. “No more waiting. We stabilized the Arctic. We anchored the poles. Now we take the heat.”Sarah folded her arms. “Sahara, Kalahari, Mojave, Sonoran, Chihuahuan... We’re talking over twelve million square kilometers of sand, drought, and decline. And you want to reverse that?”Jack smiled faintly. “Not reverse. Reinvent.”Six weeks later, the DragonSolar Initiative launched globally.It wasn’t a single machine or software. It was an e

    The glow from the ice domes faded into a distant memory as Jack Parker leaned back in his Polaris Haven quarters, the last of the Arctic tea cooling at his fingertips. Sarah had drifted to sleep beside him on the couch, Emily still going through simulations on her holo-tablet.Jack exhaled slowly. The road ahead was filled with pressure, strategy, vision. But for now, they had clarity. Purpose.Then, deep beneath the layers of DragonCom’s servers, a pulse rippled.Haida AI’s voice whispered through Jack’s neural implant:"Jack. You may want to come to the tech room. Now."Jack stood immediately. "Is it system-wide?""No. It’s something... external. An inbound presence. Reidsville origin. They’re seven hours out. Armed. The signature patterns match Victor Krane’s encrypted movement protocol."He turned his eyes toward Emily, who instantly caught his shift in energy."What is it?""They’re coming."Seven hours later. Midnight.Harmonfield slept beneath starlight and sky-bridges, unaware

    The ice hummed beneath Polaris Haven as the last echoes of chants faded into silence. Jack sat with Sarah and Emily in the soft blue glow of the domed quarters, breath slowing, tea cooling between their fingers."Tomorrow’s another continent," Sarah whispered, her head still resting on Jack’s shoulder.Emily stretched, talisman still tied gently around her wrist. "Siberia first. Then Greenland. Climate equity pacts and geothermal prototypes."Jack looked between them. "And after that...?"Sarah answered, "We start planning the Celestial Energy Bridges. If we get the Nordic and Arctic Union onboard, the fusion loop becomes global."Emily gave a faint smile. "And maybe, just maybe, we’ll get ahead of the next crisis."But back in Draconia, buried beneath an obsidian skyline in Reidsville, the air was thick with a different kind of ambition.Victor Krane stood in the pitch-black conference hall of the VK Directive Building, every curtain drawn, every camera disabled, every drone jammed.
