Flynn was consumed by fear as he was ushered into a room where he was informed that someone awaited him. The armed men accompanying him made it abundantly clear that any attempt to resist would have dire consequences, upon his brother, Jeremy and his grandmother.

Upon entering the room, Flynn's gaze fell upon a figure wearing a hat, his face turned away from them.

"Hello, Mr. Flynn," the man greeted.

"Who are you, and what do you want?" Flynn demanded, his voice laced with apprehension.

"Excuse us," the man ordered the guards, signaling for privacy.

"Who are you? Show your face!" Flynn's voice rose, prompting a chuckle from the mysterious figure.

"You would do well not to raise your voice, Flynn. I possess the authority to end your life here and now," the man asserted, his words instilling a palpable sense of dread in Flynn.

He casually reached for the glass of wine beside him, taking a sip before resuming his ominous monologue. "Your brother , Jeremy is in my custody, and his fate re

    Flynn swung open the front door, exhausted from his encounter with the man who had threatened him earlier, asking him to break into Jack's officer and get the SFX-chip, of which he had no idea what it was.He knew quite alright that what they were requesting him to do was quite a daunting task, but he there was nothing else he could do. Jeremy's life was in danger and that was the only way to save him, by breaking into Jack's office and stealing the SFX-chip.Immediately, he opened the door, just as he had expected, he was met with the presence police officers scattered throughout the living room, their faces somber. It was obvious someone or probably his grandmother had informed the police officers about Jeremy's disappearance.He wished he had arrived soon enough to prevent the involvement of the police in the whole thing. He knew involving the police could only complicate the entire situation, and he didn't want any thing to happen to his beloved little brother Jeremy.As he scanne

    As the evening sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the quiet neighborhood, a sleek black car pulled up in front of Serpens' house. The car's engine hummed softly, a low, almost menacing sound that blended with the rustling of the trees. The doors of the car opened simultaneously, and out stepped George and his men, who had been instructed by Jack to find Rose and bring her to him. Each one of them was dressed in dark, tailored suits that matched the car’s polished exterior. Their faces were stern, unreadable, and their movements precise, as if they were accustomed to working together without a word exchanged.George approached Rose’s front door. His polished shoes clicked against the pavement, each step purposeful. Two others flanked him, their presence formidable and unwavering. They rang the doorbell once, and it echoed through the stillness of the house.Inside, Rose had just begun to relax with a book when the unexpected sound jolted her. She wasn’t expectin

    The atmosphere in the café grew tense as Rose sat across from Jack Brynner, still reeling from the shock of seeing him here. Jack had always been a figure shrouded in mystery and power, but nothing could have prepared her for the bombshell he was about to drop.Jack leaned forward, his eyes fixed on Rose with an intensity that made her heart race. "Rose," he began, his voice calm but laced with something deeper, "there’s something important I need to tell you, and I'm very sure it'll come as a surprise to you,""What's that sir?" Rose managed to ask, trying to hide her discomfort.She just couldn't help but wonder what people around her would begin to think when they see her with Jack Brynner. She just hoped the meeting would end soon so she could return home, as she was already beginning to regret why she had even agreed to come with the men in the first place."I could be your father." Jack dropped the bombshell.The words hung in the air, heavy and surreal. Rose blinked, her mind s

    Serpens paced the living room, his anxiety mounting with each passing minute. He had arrived home earlier than expected, eager to surprise Rose, only to find the house unsettlingly quiet. The usual warmth of her presence was absent, and something felt off. He called out her name, but the only response was the echo of his own voice.A knot of worry tightened in his chest as he quickly scanned the rooms, hoping to find her somewhere, maybe resting or lost in a book. But every room he checked was empty. His worry deepened when he noticed Rose's phone lying on the kitchen counter, its screen lighting up with each incoming call he made. She never left the house without it—especially not in a city like this.The sight of the phone, abandoned and ringing, sent a chill down his spine. Where could she have gone without it? His mind raced through possibilities, each one more unsettling than the last. He was on the verge of dialing Inspector Lui, ready to report that Rose had gone missing, when

    The morning sun filtered through the hospital's large windows as Serpens and Rose walked into the pristine lobby. The sterile smell of antiseptic hung in the air, adding to the tension that already filled the space between them. Serpens walked beside Rose, his steps steady and composed, while Rose’s pace was slightly hesitant, her nerves evident in the way she clutched the strap of her bag.As they approached the reception, Dr. Sun, in her white lab coat, looking as beautiful as ever with her beautiful eyes, looked up from her desk. Her face lit up with a welcoming smile, but as soon as she saw the serious expressions on their faces, her smile faded, replaced by a look of concern. “Serpens, Rose, what brings you here so early?” Dr. Sun asked, setting aside her clipboard. She just couldn't help but hope it wasn't that Rose was having symptoms from what happened with Winter. Rose was already confirmed to have fully recovered before they signed for her to be discharged from the hospita

    Rose sat in the quiet hospital waiting area, the envelope containing the DNA results still clutched in her hand. Her mind buzzed with a mix of emotions—disbelief, uncertainty, and a strange sense of resolution. She knew what she had to do next, and it weighed heavily on her.With a deep breath, Rose pulled out her phone and scrolled through her contacts until she found the number Jack Brynner had given her the day before. Her thumb hovered over the call button for a moment, but then she pressed it, steeling herself for what was to come.The phone rang only twice before Jack’s smooth, authoritative voice came through. “Rose?” he answered, his tone carrying a hint of curiosity.Rose hesitated for a split second, then spoke. “The DNA results are out,” she said, her voice steady despite the turmoil inside her.Jack was silent for a moment, and Rose could almost picture him leaning forward, anticipation evident in his eyes. “And?” he prompted, his voice betraying a rare note of eagerness.

    Xin managed to open her eyes, her eyelids fluttering open as a harsh, sterile light pierced through the darkness. Her vision blurred and unfocused, she tried to move but found her hands and feet bound tightly to a cold, metallic table. Panic began to set in as she struggled to come to terms with her surroundings. Her heart raced, and the coldness of the metal beneath her skin sent shivers through her body. She tried to take a deep breath, but the air felt thick and heavy, laced with a clinical scent that made her stomach churn. The room around her was stark and unfamiliar, its walls a pale, unforgiving white. The only sound was the faint hum of machinery, adding to the sterile, mechanical atmosphere that pressed down on her.She pulled against the restraints, desperation growing with each futile attempt to free herself. Her muscles ached, and her mind swirled with questions. How did she get here? Where was she? And more importantly, who had done this to her?The stark white walls, th

The sky was clear, a deep velvet canvas dotted with a thousand twinkling stars that seemed to pulse with a quiet, rhythmic light. The moon, full and luminous, bathed the world in a silvery glow, casting long, soft shadows that danced lightly across the ground.

Even the air itself felt different, cooler and lighter, as if it carried the essence of dreams within it, urging all who breathed it in to close their eyes and drift away.The scent of blooming jasmine and n

    The priest stood solemnly at the edge of the grave, his weathered hands clasped around a simple wooden cross. His voice, steady and calm, reverberated through the air as he spoke the final prayers, his eyes reflecting the sorrow of the moment. The soft rustle of leaves was the only sound as Rose was laid to rest, the earth slowly covering her.Serpens stood nearby, tears silently welling up in his eyes, his heart heavy with grief. As the ceremony ended, people began to approach him one by one. Xin placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, his face solemn. Lan, always reserved, offered a quiet nod of respect. Serena’s eyes shimmered with unshed tears as she whispered her condolences. Dr. Sun, with a grave expression, grasped Serpens' hand in solidarity, while Inspector Lui, ever the stoic, simply said, "I'm sorry." Finally, Tiara approached, her eyes filled with understanding and empathy, and she gave him a brief, supportive hug.After everything was said and done, as the crowd disper

    Chapter 183: Tragedy in the end

    In an instant, Rose disappeared into the portal, her figure merging with the energy of the Dragon Stone. There was a flash of blinding light, and the portal sealed shut, its power absorbed into Rose’s being. The energy of the Dragon Stone flowed through her, and the stone itself crumbled to dust, its dark power dissipating into the air.Serpens and Xin watched in awe, their hearts heavy with the sacrifice that had just been made. Rose had given herself to save the world, her courage and selflessness breaking the cycle of darkness that had threatened to engulf them all.For a moment, all was quiet, and then, from the stillness, a gentle breeze began to blow, carrying with it the promise of a new dawn."No!" Serpens cried as he rushed towards her. Rose fell on his arms, her form as cold as ice. "Don't leave me, Rose," Serpens cried. "Please come back," The strange lady spoke, "This was bound to happen, greet dragon. She's your fourth sage, the one who would help you win the war agains

    Serpens struggled to his feet, his heart pounding with fear and frustration. Winter was too strong, even with the combined might of the dragon lords. They couldn’t overpower him—not like this. But what frightened him more was the sight of Xin, now standing on the rock, her hand trembling as she raised the dragon stone toward the point where the sunlight met the sea."No!" Serpens cried out, his voice breaking with the weight of his despair. But his words fell on deaf ears. Xin, lost in Winter’s spell, placed the stone on the rock. The moment the stone touched the surface, the sunlight intensified, its beams converging on the stone and then spreading outwards, enveloping Bahamut in a blinding light.The light was quickly swallowed by a sudden darkness, a pitch-black void that seemed to emanate from Bahamut himself. The last chain around the dragon’s neck glowed fiercely for a brief moment before shattering into a thousand pieces. The sound of the chain breaking echoed like thunder acro

    The Third World Sea stretched endlessly before Serpens, a vast expanse of shimmering waters that reflected the dark, starless sky above. The air was thick with a mystical energy, a sensation both familiar and foreign, tugging at the edges of his consciousness. As he stood on the shore, the quiet lapping of waves against the rocks was the only sound, but Serpens could feel the presence of something ancient and powerful nearby.From the depths of the sea, a massive form began to rise, the water cascading off its scales like liquid silver. Doromu emerged with a grace that belied his immense size. His golden eyes, warm and wise, fixed upon Serpens with a gaze that seemed to peer into the very depths of his soul. The dragon’s scales shimmered with a soft, radiant light, contrasting the dark waters around him."Welcome, Serpens," Doromu said, his voice deep and resonant, echoing across the stillness of the sea. He lowered his head in a deep, respectful bow. "Great Dragon, it is an honour to

    The uproar in Draketwon that night increased people ran to find safety from the threats of the dragons which descended upon the city like a flock of birds.It wasn't long after that the armed forces of Draketwon set into action. Helicopters, their blades slicing through the night air, emerged from the darkness. It was a show down of the humans versus the dragons, as fire bathed the entire city like a flood.The roar of the engines filled the cockpit as Captain Marcus Rourke, the seasoned leader of the air force squadron, adjusted his headset. His eyes were steely, focused on the horizon where plumes of smoke rose from the city below. The once-vibrant metropolis was now a war zone, engulfed in chaos as dragons soared through the sky, their fiery breath raining destruction upon the streets.“Echo Squadron, this is Captain Rourke,” he spoke into the radio, his voice calm but laced with urgency. “We’ve got eyes on the target. Multiple dragons are engaged, laying waste to the city. They’re

    Tiara sat at her usual spot in the school courtyard, the sun dipping lower in the sky as the hours ticked by. The news of the Zorvath's going through Serpens' locker in school, had become the news of the day, but that wasn't her problem.Her concern was in the fact that Serpens whom he had called to tell what had happened didn't show up in school. She couldn't help but wonder why he didn't show up after he told her he was already on his way when she called him earlier that day.After the first set of classes of the day, she decided to go to the courtyard and hoped that before the afternoon classes would commence, Serpens would show up.Her gaze flicked anxiously toward the school gates every few minutes, hoping to see Serpens' familiar figure stride through. But as the shadows lengthened and the students trickled out in groups, laughing and chatting, there was no sign of him.By now, the courtyard was almost empty, save for a few stragglers.

    As Serpens pondered Zorvath's enigmatic riddle, a figure emerged from the trees surrounding the lake. It was a young woman with piercing green eyes and long, curly brown hair. She approached Serpens with a confident stride, her gaze fixed on him."Ah, Serpens," she said, her voice husky and mysterious. "I've been searching for you. My name is Lyra, and I possess knowledge about your past and your connection to Xin."Serpens's eyes narrowed, unsure if he should trust this stranger. But something about Lyra's words resonated deep within him."What do you know?" he asked, his curiosity piqued.Lyra smiled, her eyes glinting with secrets. "Let's just say that I can help you unlock the truth about your draconic powers and the reason behind Winter's pursuit."Zorvath, who had been watching the exchange, suddenly spoke up. "Lyra, you shouldn't be here. This is a matter between Serpens and me."Lyra turned to Zorvath, her expression unfazed. "I'm afraid I have a stake in this too, Zorvath. Se

    The morning routine was almost automatic. Serpens crossed the room to his wardrobe, where his clothes hung neatly on the door. As he buttoned his shirt, his mind kept drifting back to the urgency of his quest, the need to find Xin and the draconic gem.After pulling on his trousers and fastening his belt, Serpens moved to the bathroom. He splashed cold water on his face, the chill waking him up fully. He stared at his reflection in the mirror—his dark hair tousled from sleep, his eyes sharp and alert despite the fatigue that lingered at their edges. With deliberate care, he combed his hair, making sure every strand was in place, trying to impose order on at least this small part of his life.He grabbed his school bag, checking to make sure he had everything he needed: books, notebooks, the pendant that Professor Layton had given him back then, was still there—a small token that served as a reminder of his mission.Before leaving his room, Serpens took a moment to gaze out of the wind
