Chapter 116 - Chapter 116 — The Name Beneath the Fire

Location: Sanctuary Eternum – Flame Hall, 2:13 AM

The room burned low—soft, gold-orange fire dancing in narrow veins across obsidian stone.

Arielle stood barefoot in the center, her hands over her stomach, her aura still flickering from a recent flare.

Damon approached silently behind her.

"She kicks like you," he murmured.

Arielle smirked, her voice quiet but sharp.

"She'll do more than that. She'll carry the fire."

She turned, held his hand, and looked up with fierce pride.

"Her name is Azra.

Azra Dracas Black."

She walked to the edge of the stone floor.

Kneeling down, she carved the name into the flame-veined tile with one burning fingertip.

"The first and last time this name will ever be seen by anyone but us."

And as the last letter glowed, the fire in the room bent around it—bowing.

Scene: Damon's Final Contact

Outside the estate—far beyond the mountains—a shadowed figure waited inside a cabin hidden in ice.

Damon arrived alone.

The man who greeted him once ruled a vampire stronghold—long since abandoned.

His name was Voss.

"I owe you nothing," Voss said coldly.

"But I fear what's coming more than I hate you."

Damon said only one thing.

"Protect the silence."

He handed him a sealed case.

Inside: access codes, encrypted data, old blood maps.

"If we're ever found—use this to bury them before they reach us."

Voss nodded once.

"Done."

And with that… Damon vanished into the wind again.

Scene: Elina's Dream

That night, Elina didn't wake.

She floated.

Inside a golden-lit dream where music played without sound… and her daughter's thoughts whispered back to her.

A child who was soft like starlight, but not fragile.

A mind forming with rhythm and feeling before ever opening her eyes.

In the dream, Elina asked:

"What shall I call you?"

And the child answered:

"Liora."

Elina awoke, smiling through quiet tears.

"Her name is Liora Dracas Black.

And the world will follow her song."

Final Scene: Damon at the Edge of the World

He stood at the topmost tower of Sanctuary Eternum, wind lashing across his jacket.

Behind him, three names burned softly into glass:

Caelan

Azra

Liora

And in front of him, the night sky stretched wide and endless.

"You'll be born together.

So the world knows you rise together."

"And no matter how far we vanish…

they will never stop feeling your name."
