After the victorious retrieval of the Bloodstone, the others returned to the surface to heal the dying Tree of Life-but Rai stayed behind. Refusing to abandon Castor, who nearly died retrieving the artifact, she dove into the cursed Sea of Souls. There, she discovered the truth: Castor, the mischievous and tormented twin of Gemini, bore the blood of the Underworld-evident in the small black horns rising from his silver hair. He wasn't dying. He was returning home.
In the cold, cryptic beauty of the Underworld, Rai and Castor found themselves stranded but not alone. The Zerg race, a hive-mind species exiled to the abyss, recognized Rai as royalty-daughter of Logan (Scorpio) and the long-lost Serena (Athena), King and Queen of this realm. The Zerg, initially hostile, soon became allies, aiding the two in survival.
Over the span of three shadowed months, Rai and Castor evolved from reluctant companions to strange soulmates. They clashed, they connected. Castor's sadistic charm and hidden compassion slowly drew out Rai's deeper loyalty and quiet care. Their bond transcended mortal norms-together, they gifted the Zerg race a new hope: 300 hybrid children, designed from their DNA, trained in secret as a formidable future army.
What began as a rescue became something far more complex-a story of legacy, blood, twisted affection, and the promise of war yet to come.
