Volume 20: The Final Eclipse
The northern rifts burned like molten tears in the sky. The full remnants of the Void Sovereign had returned, larger, stronger, and more organized than ever. Its agents formed legions of shadow, spreading chaos across the realms.
Elias stood at the Citadel's peak, Crown of Realms marks blazing. "This is it," he said quietly. "The last battle."
Azeryn landed beside him, her wings casting a protective shadow. "We end this—together."

The United Armies
Humans and demons moved as one. Soldiers formed ranks, mages wove protective wards, and archers took their positions along the cliffs.
Rydell, battered but determined, turned to Varak. "This is our final stand. Watch each other's backs."
Varak grunted, unsheathing his blade. "And together, we carve our victory."
Elias and Azeryn raised their hands, energy surging outward, a radiant barrier of golden light intertwined with Azeryn's dark flames. The armies felt their courage swell—they were united, unbreakable.

The Final Confrontation
The Void Sovereign's shadow erupted from the rift, towering and grotesque, its fragments writhing like living serpents. Its voice thundered across both realms:
"You cannot defeat me… I am eternal!"
Elias stepped forward, aura blazing. "Eternity ends tonight!"
Azeryn joined him, twin flames merging with his Crown of Realms energy. Together, they became a storm of light and shadow, a force the Void Sovereign could not withstand.
The armies advanced, striking the shadow legions, but Elias and Azeryn were the spearhead. Their combined powers pierced the Sovereign's core, a dazzling beam that split the sky. The shadow screamed, fragments scattering, then vanished with a final, echoing roar.

A New Dawn
Silence fell. The northern rifts closed, leaving the skies clear. Humans and demons cheered, united in victory.
Azeryn landed beside Elias, exhaustion and relief on her face. "It's over…"
Elias took her hand, twin marks dimming but still glowing faintly. "It's over… and we survived. Together."
From that day, the realms rebuilt in peace. The King and Queen ruled side by side, a symbol of unity, courage, and love. Legends spoke of the human king and demon queen who faced the end of the world and emerged victorious—together.
And though shadows would always exist, the realms knew one truth above all: light and darkness, when united, could conquer anything.
