The chamber stood completely still. Nobody moved. Nobody spoke. Nobody breathed. Because of six words. "The last heir has returned." The message remained glowing across every monitor. Ancient symbols. Ancient language. Ancient warning. And somehow— Aarya was the only person who could understand it. Her heart hammered painfully against her ribs. Because she hadn't translated it consciously. The meaning simply appeared in her mind. As naturally as breathing. As naturally as speaking. As naturally as existing. "What just happened?" Jungkook's voice broke the silence. Aarya couldn't answer. Because she didn't know. For the first time since Genesis entered her life— she genuinely didn't know. Then the Cradle pulsed again. A faint silver light spread across its surface.
