The stars above the Court of the Zodiac shone brighter than ever, as if the cosmos themselves acknowledged the change in leadership. John, now the Zodiac Emperor, stood at the center of the grand hall, the golden throne behind him emanating a faint glow. The other Zodiac Warriors flanked him, their expressions a mix of pride and anticipation.
This was no ordinary gathering. This was the beginning of something new—a future shaped by their struggles and victories.
"Eun Woo," John began, his voice carrying the weight of his new authority. "You've regained what was stolen from you. How do you feel?"
Eun Woo stepped forward, his movements more confident than they had been moments ago. "I feel... whole," he admitted, his tone laced with gratitude. "But also overwhelmed. The memories, the battles—it's a lot to process."
"You're not alone in this," Rin interjected, her voice soft but firm. "We've all been through our share of trials. Lean on us when you need to."
