2026-06-11 18:57:10An endless sea of darkness stretched in every direction. Julius couldn't move, neither could he speak and he couldn't feel his body.
The last thing he remembered were the Titan, the glowing mark on his forehead and the terrifying voice that said “you have finally awakened”
Then there was a flash of light that appeared.
Juliet immediately shielded his eyes. The darkness shattered like glass and broke the entire void.
He found himself standing somewhere else. His eyes widened, it was an ancient battlefield stretched beyond the horizon. The sky was red, the mountain was burnt and there were thousands of soldiers on the ground. Some were fighting, some were fleeing, some were dead.
AThe smell of smoke and blood filled the air.
"What is this place?" Julius whispered.
No answer came.
He slowly walked forward.
The battlefield seemed frozen in time, everything felt real, Then the ground suddenly trembled.
GBIMGBIM
Julius turned, his entire body froze.
There were hundreds of the Gigantic creatures on the battlefield.
One Titan stood so high that its head disappeared into the clouds.
The soldiers below looked like ants, Julius cloud only state. His legs felt weak.
“This was impossible” he murmured
“How could anyone fight creatures like that?”
Then something else caught his attention.
The humans. They weren't ordinary soldiers. Golden energy flowed around their bodies, likewise their weapons.
Their armor shimmered with strange symbols.
One warrior leaped hundreds of feet into the air and sliced through a Titan's arm. Another summoned pillars of fire from the ground, the third created a massive shield of light.
Julius watched in amazement.
"They're fighting back..."
For the first time, humanity didn't look helpless. Yet they were losing, despite their strength cos Titan kept coming to them.
The battlefield became a slaughterhouse.
Suddenly a voice echoed behind him.
"Do you understand now?"
Julius spun around.
A man stood several feet away.
He looked young,perhaps in his twenties.
Silver hair, golden eyes.
A black cloak moved gently behind him.
The strange thing was that nobody else seemed able to see him.
The warriors ignored him likewise the Titans.
It was as if he existed outside reality itself.
Julius took a step back
"Who are you?"
The man smiled faintly.
"I could ask you the same question."
"What?"
The stranger slowly approached.
His eyes never left Julius.
"You carry the mark."
Julius immediately touched his forehead.
The stranger nodded.
"Exactly."
The mark suddenly burned beneath Julius' skin.
"What is this thing?"
The man's expression became serious.
"The last key."
Julius frowned.
"I don't understand."
"Of course you don't."
The stranger turned toward the battlefield.
"Because your world has forgotten."
For a moment neither spoke.
The sounds of war echoed around them.
The Explosion, Roars and the Screams.
Then the stranger pointed toward the largest Titan.Julius followed his gaze.
The giant creature was unlike the others.
Its body was covered in glowing golden symbols.
Its eyes burned like miniature suns, Every step shattered the earth.
Fear crawled into Julius' chest.
"What is that?"
The stranger's face darkened.
"The Titan King."
The words felt heavy.
"The ruler of all Titans."
Julius swallowed.
Even from miles away, he could feel its overwhelming presence, then he noticed something strange.
A human stood before the Titan King.
Just one person.
One man facing a monster larger than mountains.
The silver-haired stranger smiled.
"Watch carefully."
The lone warrior raised his sword.
Golden light erupted from his body.
The sky itself seemed to split apart, lightning covered the battlefield.
The Titan King roared,the warrior charged and the world exploded.
Julius instinctively closed his eyes
***
He opened his eyes again.
The battlefield was gone, likewise the Titans and the stranger.
The stranger was gone, left with the darkness and his voice had returned as well.
"The seal has broken and the Titans awakened. So it must be you?”
He heard the voice as he opened his eyes.
The students gasped.
Deen Carl barely finished his statement when the section of the wall collapsed, shaking the entire building rigorously.
Dust filled the air and they needed not to be told that the Titans are here.
People fled through the street, the soldiers were on standby but they looked tiny compared to the Titans.
Students screamed again.
Then something impossible happened.
The Titan stopped moving completely.
Its golden eyes slowly shifted, searching for something. Almost as if it was trying to find someone.
Then its gaze locked onto the academy, onto the Grand Hall and onto Jukiis.
"No..."
The Titan took one step forward.
GBIM
The city shook, then another step.
Buildings cracked, students screamed louder.
Then the Titan spoke.
A deep voice echoed across the entire kingdom, sounding powerful, yet every person heard it clearly.
"Bearer..."
The city fell silent.
Even the soldiers stopped moving.
The Titan's eyes glowed brighter.
"Come forth."
Julius froze.
His mind went blank.
The Titan wasn't speaking to everyone, It was speaking to him.
The mark on his forehead suddenly blazed with golden light.
Students nearby noticed.
One pointed at him.
"His head!"
"What is that?!"
"It's glowing!"
More students turned.
Soon everyone was staring. The hall became silent.
The Deen stared “I said it!”
And for the first time since arriving at the academy, nobody was laughing.
The Deen slowly stepped forward.
His eyes were fixed on Julius.
A mixture of disbelief and fear crossed his face.
"That mark..."
The old man's voice shook.
"No."
Julius felt a terrible feeling forming in his stomach.
The Deen looked as though he had seen a ghost.
"What is it?" Julius asked.
The Deen whispered something.
At first nobody heard him.
Then he repeated it.
Louder.
"The Mark of Sovereignty."
The hall instantly exploded with confusion.
"The what?"
"What does that mean?"
"What's happening?"
The Deen ignored them.
His eyes never left Julius.
"The mark was supposed to be lost forever."
Julius stared.
"I don't understand."
The Deen looked toward the approaching Titan.
Fear filled his face. He had felt it but hoped he was wrong.
Th
en he spoke the words that changed Julius' life forever.
"The Titans aren't here to destroy the kingdom."
Silence filled the hall.
The Deen's hands trembled.
"They came for you."

She asked questions constantly, challenged everything and whenever Noah tried to tell her what she couldn't do, she reminded him that he wasn't her father.Julius secretly found that hilarious.One evening, he stood on the hill behind their home and watched the children training. Noah was teaching Aria how to hold a wooden sword.“You're holding it wrong,” he said.“No, I'm not” she yelled“You are” Noah corrected “Father said you would teach me” Aria adess“I am teaching you” Noah was getting tired already “Then stop complaining” she yelled again.Noah stared at her, Julius laughed from a distance and Lyra stood beside him “She sounds like you”Julius smiled, “She sounds like youx“No. She's de
The Final Timeline
The morning began with an argument, not a battle, an invasion and not even anything remotely dangerous.It was an argument over a wooden sword, “Aria, give it back!”“No!” she argued “It belongs to me!” Noah cried out“I found it!” She said“You found it beside my bed!” Noah yelled“Then it was waiting for me!” Aria saidJulius opened his eyes. For a few seconds, he remained still, staring at the ceiling. Beside him, Lyra pulled the blanket higher over her head “Don't get involved”Julius turned toward her, “Our children are fighting”“They do that every morning” Lyra said“I should stop them” Julius argued “You should sleep” Lyra suggested Another shout came from outside, “Father!”Julius sighed, “I've been summoned”Lyra peeked out from beneath the blanket, “Good luck”Julius kissed her forehead before leaving the room. When he reached the garden, he found Noah standing with his arms crossed while Aria held the wooden sword behind her back.Aria was three years old and had alread
The Life After
Three years passed quietly.For Julius, that was almost stranger than war as there were no ancient armies appearing in the sky, no mysterious doors opening between worlds and no beings demanding his attention. Instead, his greatest daily challenge had become convincing a three-year-old girl that breakfast was not optional.“Aria,you haven't eaten”“I ate yesterday” the girl said with her tiny but cool sounded voice.Julius stared at her, “That was yesterday”She folded her arms, “I wasn't hungry”“You're hungry now” Julius uttered “No”Her stomach growled while Julius raised an eyebrow and Aria looked down at herself,then back at him, “That wasn't me”From the doorway, Lyra burst out laughing.Julius turned, “Don't laugh.”“I can't help it” Lyra grinnedAria ran toward her mother, “Mother, Father is lying”Lyra picked her up, “What did he lie about?”“He said I'm hungry” Aria half screamed Lyra looked at Julius then at the little girl, “Are you?”“No” Her stomach growled again.Lyra s
She Is Here
By midday, the house had completely changed. There was a strange quietness in the corridors, the kind that came from everyone being afraid to make too much noise around a newborn but it lasted exactly twenty-three minutes then Noah dropped a wooden toy. The crash echoed through the hallway and everyone froze.Noah looked at the toy, then at the bedroom. Then at Julius, who had appeared in the doorway with an expression that could have frightened an ancient god,“I didn't mean to”Julius stared at him, “You almost woke your sister”“But she didn't wake” he saidJulius opened his mouth but before he could say anything, a tiny cry came from the bedroom.Noah's face fell, “I think she heard it”Julius sighed while Sophia, standing behind him, covered her mouth to hide her laughter, “You're learning already,” she whispered.“Learning what?” Julius asked “How difficult it is to raise children” she replied Julius looked at Noah then at the baby crying inside and back to Sophia, “I've faced
The Longest Night
The first sign that something was wrong came just after midnight. Lyra woke with a sharp pain across her lower abdomen. She remained still for a few seconds, waiting for it to pass and it didShe exhaled and turned toward Julius.He was asleep beside her, one arm resting loosely across the bed.Lyra smiled then another pain came, this one was stronger.She sat up, “Julius”His eyes opened instantly, “What happened?”“I think something is wrong” she saidHe was already sitting up, “Where does it hurt?”“My stomach.”His expression changed, “Can you stand?”“I think so” Lyra pushed herself out of bed.The moment her feet touched the floor, another contraction seized her, she grabbed Julius's arm.He caught her before she could stumble, “Lyra”She breathed through the pain. When it finally eased, she looked at him, “I think the baby is coming”For perhaps the first time in his existence, Julius looked completely helpless, he stared at her, “Now?”Lyra almost laughed despite the pain, “Ye
Aria
By the time Lyra entered her fifth month of pregnancy, the entire household had accepted one undeniable truth. The baby had already taken control of the house. Nobody had officially announced it,there had been no meeting,decree or discussion. It simply happened.If Lyra wanted something, someone found it, if Lyra was tired, everyone would be quiet and if Lyra complained about the heat, three people would immediately open windows while another went searching for a fan and if she woke up in the middle of the night craving something strange, Julius was expected to solve the problem regardless of how impossible the request sounded.Julius had stopped complaining mostly, rather he had also developed a habit of asking Lyra what she wanted before she even knew herself. It has become a source of amusement for everyone.That afternoon, Lyra was sitting beneath the tree with Sophia, Seraphine, Elara, and Lily when Julius walked past carrying several baskets of fruit.Lyra watched him, "What are
