The walls of Nionderland were finally at peace.After the crushing victory against Silas, the skies once again shone with the pure light of dawn.The banners waved anew. Life began to flourish once more.
Inside the great crystal hall of the castle, Queen Zenia — regal, serene, and elegant — approached the young heroes. Her gaze was filled with gratitude.
— "You… saved our land. On behalf of all the people of Nionderland, thank you. May the gods always guide your steps."
Inavy, standing a little apart from the group, watched the scene. But his eyes soon found someone in particular.Rose, her hair tied up in a messy bun, dressed in ceremonial warrior robes, looked… different.
Stronger. More beautiful.
— "You're stronger than ever," Inavy said with a sincere smile.
Rose blushed, her eyes shining shyly.
— "You think so…?"
— "Absolutely."
From a distance, Diana watched them with crossed arms, smirking slightly as she sensed the atmosphere.
"They don't even realize it yet, but they're already bound to each other…" she thought.
Just then, a roar of voices filled the hall. Everyone turned.
Darius Valtier was being lifted onto the shoulders of royal guards, holding a giant cup of cola and flashing a radiant grin.
— "DAAAARIUS! DARIUS! DARIUS!"
The crowd chanted his name like a victory anthem. He raised his cup, ever the showman:
— "Hey, Inavy! I'm famous in your kingdom now too!"
Inavy just smiled, arms crossed.
— "It was only a matter of time."
Meanwhile, Lorien Valtier appeared via holographic call to Diana.
— "How's he doing?"
But Diana, noticing he was shirtless with a towel lazily thrown over his shoulder, frowned and crossed her arms.
— "Why are you shirtless, Lorien?"
Lorien gave his trademark smirk, showing off his sculpted physique — and of course, those piercing blue eyes that shone even through a projection.
— "You like it? Do you like the blue-eyed heartthrob?"
Diana rolled her eyes but couldn't hold back a laugh.
— "You really never change…"
— "But what about Darius?"
— "He's fine…" she turned the camera to show Darius, still on a guard's shoulders, lifting the giant cup and shouting as if the world were ending:
— "YEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
The hall erupted into laughter and cheers, celebrating their hero once again.
Lorien laughed from the other end of the line.
— "That kid's a legend."
— "Typical Valtier," Diana replied with pride and warmth.
🌌 On the Palace Balcony
Under the starry sky, Inavy stood alone, thoughtful, staring at the horizon.
Soft footsteps interrupted his thoughts.
— "Hey, Chaos Boy."
Rose approached, her royal dress fluttering gently in the breeze.
— "So... enjoying the party?" Inavy asked.
— "It's amazing," she replied with a smile. "But... have you ever thought that... if things go wrong, the world could end?"
A brief silence. Inavy looked up at the sky.
— "Yeah. But... we'll make it worth it."
He turned to her — and for the first time, he truly saw how beautiful she was.Not just strength or courage… it was the way she looked at him. The light she carried.And for the first time, the Heir of Chaos felt… vulnerable.
He blushed. Rose noticed and tilted her head.
— "Did I say something wrong?"
— "No… just truth. Rose… thank you for everything.You've always cared about us. You were there.When Ray died… you were one of my pillars."
Rose couldn't hide the pink rising to her cheeks.They looked into each other's eyes. Slowly, their faces began to draw closer, eyes closing, breaths trembling...
— "HEEEEEYYYY, APOCALYPSE LOVE-BIRDS!"
Darius popped out of nowhere, cup in hand, flashing a mischievous grin.
— "I went to grab dessert and come back to this? Are you seriously kissing under a full moon? How clichéééé!"
Inavy and Rose quickly pulled back, flustered.
— "Darius!" Rose exclaimed, blushing to the core.
Darius just winked.
— "Just don't let the world end before the kiss, okay?"
As he danced off into the party again, Inavy and Rose laughed together, looking into each other's eyes.
And the narrator closes:
"Even in times of war… there are feelings that bloom like the most unexpected spring.Because where there is chaos… there can still be love." 🌹
