Dominator's Citadel — Inner War Hall
The chamber had no windows.
Only stone, starlight, and silence.
Kaelen stood before his council — his dynasty — as Sovereign flames crackled beneath his feet.
A map floated midair, not just of their world…
but of dimensions beyond it.
Silent. Infinite. Waiting.
Kaelen's Words
"Protection comes in two forms — offense and defense."
He let the words settle.
"We have been defending for too long.
Shielding. Enduring. Surviving."
"And what has it earned us?
Our enemies think they can walk over us.
That we'll retreat.
That we'll recover — and stop there."
He raised his hand.
The map rippled — expanding outward.
Worlds. Realms. Void Strands. Fractured timefields.
"No more."
"I didn't return to shield a corner of this world.
I returned to reclaim the destiny that was denied us."
"We will not only rule this land—
we will walk between dimensions.
Challenge legacies.
Break celestial chains.
And write our name into the fragments of time itself."
"Our bloodline will become myth,
etched into the bones of creation."
"This… is the rise of the Drayce Dynasty."
The Council Reacts
Aria's fists clenched, her aura igniting silverfire.
"Offense.
Let them feel the fire we've restrained for too long."
Aerin grinned savagely.
"When do we strike first?"
Selina's eyes shimmered with tears — not sadness, but certainty.
"They'll never threaten us again. Not when we become the storm."
Damon and Eren cracked their knuckles in unison.
"Let's carve history."
Auriana… simply smiled.
She already saw it — a thousand futures bowing to one family.

Kaelen's Final Word
"Every one of you will rise.
You will not follow me—
you will stand beside me."
"And when we walk across worlds,
we will not be visitors."
"We will be inevitabilities."
"Now go—
train harder than ever before.
Sharpen every edge.
Master every power."
"Because in three years…
we don't just defend our home—
we dominate reality itself."
