Chapter 95 - Chapter Ninety-Five — The Quiet Before the Rise

Location: St. Monarch Campus – Morning After the Invitations

The messages were delivered discreetly.

No names.

No branding.

Just a location, a time, and one simple sentence:

"You'll understand everything soon."

To some, it was curiosity.

To others, a warning.

But to those who had truly known Damon Black…

…it was a whisper from the grave.

Nova – Alone in Her Room

She stared at the card for twenty minutes.

Tried to convince herself it was just coincidence.

But her hand shook when she placed it against her chest.

"It's him.

I can feel it.

Even if he never admits it…"

She packed her bag.

And this time — she brought the old ring.

Zeke – On a Walk with Arielle

Zeke read his invitation. Twice.

"He wants us to see him.

All of us."

Arielle took hers out of her purse.

"You know what that means, right?"

Zeke nodded.

"We're not walking into a conversation.

We're walking into a reckoning."

Damon's Mansion – Dracas Estate, Hillside Overlooking Solara

It rose like a myth carved from obsidian.

Tall, elegant, and fortified with taste — not armor.

Six floors.

Private garage with over 20 hypercars.

A private garden resembling a mythic sanctuary.

A central chamber large enough for a gala — designed for one purpose:

Witnessing power.

System Message:

"They will come expecting answers.

You will give them something far greater:

An origin story carved in blood, rebirth, and silence."

Final Scene – As the Sun Sets

The estate lights glow softly.

Guards take their positions — silent, unmarked, loyal.

Catered meals roll in. Rare wine. Music programmed by ARCHAIOS.

Damon stands at the highest balcony, watching the gates.

One by one, the cars begin to arrive.

He doesn't speak.

Only adjusts the cuff of his jacket.

Eyes burning gold-crimson under the soft light.

"They thought the story ended.

I'm about to teach them what an immortal chapter feels like."
