Elijah, now fully embracing his bear powers, infiltrates a Skinwalker mid-hunt. He sees flashes of their hive structure, their rituals, and a name whispered in fear: Damon Zenith The Chaos Kitsune.
Meanwhile, Sherlock deciphers ancient glyphs beneath the school. They speak of a prophecy: "When the Gorgon awakens, the Pillar shall crack, and the Devil's heir shall rise."
Sherlock rushes home to warn Ariana, but she's gone.

🧬 Scene 4: Dillan's Mutation
Dillan, still recovering from Sebastian's bite, begins to change. His skin hardens into scaled patches. His pupils split. He hears voices—hissing, ancient, seductive.
He is becoming a Gorgon—a cursed hybrid with the power to petrify with a gaze and summon serpents from his spine.

> Dillan: "I am not weak. I am evolution."

Miles listens, stunned.
> Miles: "So you're not just fighting monsters. You're fighting fate."
Sebastian nods.
> Sebastian: "And I'm losing."

He stares at a photo of a woman—burned at the edges.
