Let us follow the lingering echo of the final scene and return to that blood-soaked night ten thousand years ago—the secret moment that occurred just before the blue light spread across the garden.
Nikita, her body drenched in blood, was leaning against the stone wall, gasping for breath, trembling as she cried. Aryan stood before her, a dagger in his hand, his entire body shaking. He had not killed her by choice—Nikita herself had forced him to do it.
Nikita (in a weak voice, gripping Aryan's hand):
"Aryan… kill me. I can no longer bear this curse of immortality. I do love Kairen, but this palace, these conspiracies, this life of captivity—it is suffocating me. I want to die, Aryan."
Aryan (with tears in his eyes):
"No, Nikita! I can't kill you. I want to protect you for eternity."
Nikita:
"If you truly love me, then stab my heart and set me free. I want to be reborn as an ordinary human—no wings, no throne. I don't want to live in this hell anymore. If you refuse, I will end my life myself."
Her desperate pleas, her repeated cries of "I don't want to live", shattered Aryan completely. Unable to endure her agony, he closed his eyes in unbearable pain and drove the blade straight into the center of her heart.
Just before her consciousness faded, Nikita whispered into his ear:
"Thank you, Aryan… We will meet again in the next life."
As the flashback dissolved, Nikita exhaled softly in the present, resting her head against Kairen's chest inside the car. Now she understood—Aryan had not been a murderer. He had been her liberator. By carrying the burden of that sin, he had freed her from immortality, allowing them all to be reborn as humans.
The car disappeared into the distance. The past, heavy with secrets, finally fell silent.
As the city's noise faded and the road curved toward a desolate mountain path, an eerie stillness descended. Nikita lifted her head from Kairen's chest. Her tears had dried, but a mysterious smile now played upon her lips.
Kairen glanced at her through the rearview mirror. Beneath the calm authority of his towering frame, there was no warmth—only a cold, calculating sharpness. He returned her smile, equally enigmatic.
That smile suggested a terrifying truth:
The death ten thousand years ago—the dagger in Nikita's heart—had all been part of a carefully orchestrated play.
Nikita (in a whisper):
"Does Aryan realize yet that I was the one who forced him to kill me? He believes he freed me… but he doesn't know it was our plan all along."
Kairen (smirking):
"Aryan is a fool. He thought becoming a vampire meant eternal power. While he clung to immortality, we chose rebirth—and returned stronger than ever."
Nikita slowly rolled up the sleeve of her white shirt. Beneath her skin, blue veins glowed with the same ancient, magical light.
They had returned with their memories.
With their power.
And Aryan had never suspected a thing.
Nikita:
"By marrying Aryan off, we removed the final obstacle. Now this world will belong to us—just as it once did ten thousand years ago."
They exchanged one final smile—one filled with triumph and dark satisfaction.
Aryan believed he had been freed.
In reality, Nikita and Kairen had trapped him inside an illusion, condemning him to eternal solitude.
The car vanished into the darkness.
And with it began a new chapter of mystery.
