Chapter 131 - The Marriage and Crown

SEASON 3

The New era begins. The Heirs rise. And the bloodline of legends walks among the stars. FIVE YEARS have passed since the King of All Void erased Xerion Shadow from existence. The universe has healed. The scars of war have faded into mythology. Peace reigns across the Astral Kingdom and the universe, and the coronation of the new rulers draws near.

The air is cool. The skies shimmer with quiet joy. People laugh, chat, and barter in the open markets. Children chase light wisps through the alleys. Happiness humans like music in the streets. In the Heart of the Astral Market, a girl was walking by-- The Name was Aria Ling-- Daughter of Void ling and Seraphina Nyx. Her hair glows faintly with violet strands. Her eyes carry the calm fury of her father and the radiant heart of her mother. As she passes through the market on the way home.

Gang Leader:

(Mockingly)

"Well, well...look who think she's royalty."

Aria Ling:

(Without stopping, smirking)

"I don't think. I know. And you're about to learn why that matters."

Gang Member#2:

(Confused)

"What did you say?!"

One of them charges forward, fist raised--Aria sidestep, throws a punch, then leaps into the air, spinning and kicking him across the market, crashing into a cart of glowing fruit.

Aria Ling:

(Cracking her knuckles)

"Come on. Who's next?"

One by one, they come. One by one, they fall. Each kick, each strike--precise, effortless, inherited. And Aria spoke.

Aria Ling:

(Walking away, voice sharp)

"Never mess with me."

Aria walks through the gates of her home, the sun setting behind her. The House glows with warmth and quiet power.

Seraphina Ling:

(From the kitchen, hands on hips)

"Where have you been, Aria?"

Aria:

(Grinning)

"Just chilling, Mom."

From the hallway, a familiar voice echoes--calm, deep, unmistakable. And Void ling steps in.

Void ling:

(Stepping into view)

"Chilling doesn't usually involve kicking half the market unconscious."

Aria shrugs, still smiling. Seraphina sighs,but her eyes sparkle with pride. And Void ling spoke.

Void ling:

(Walks over, place her hands on her)

"You're strong. But strength means nothing without purpose."

Aria Ling:

(Softly)

"I know, Dad. I just...wanted to remind them who I am."

Void ling:

(Smirked)

"They won't forget."

At thr kitchen, The scent of the food in the kitchen, was superb, stew and starfruit glaze fills the air.

Seraphina ling:

(Smiled)

"Anyway. Dear, Food is ready."

Void ling:

(Stepping into the dinner hall)

"Smells divine. You've outdone yourself again."

Aria walks in, still energized from her market brawl, and slides into her seat at the dinning table.

Aria Ling:

(Smirked)

"I'm starving. Hope you made enough for a warrior like me."

Seraphina:

(Laughing as she sits)

"You mean a troublemaker?"

Void ling:

(Joining them)

"She's both. And she's ours."

The three begins to eat, laughter echoing through the home. The warmth is real. The peace is earned. In the Grand halls of the Empress Dynasty, breeze flow through inside. The throne room glows with ceremonial light.

Empress Asuna:

(Adressing her Queens)

"Today marks the union of Void ling and Seraphina...And the crowning of the King of All Void, Void ling as the new Emperor of the Astral Universe."

(Smiling)

"And Seraphina will be a radiant Empress."

"The universe will never be the same."

(Excitedly)

"Is Uncle Void really becoming Emperor today?"

Blaze Vortex:

(Smiling)

"He is. And one day. You'll stand beside him."

The family gathers, preparing to teleport to the Empress Dynasty Garden. The day of crowns and vows has begun. At the Ling Household--The plates were cleared, the laughter still lingering in the air. Void ling leans back in his chair, eyes calm but thoughtful.

Void ling:

(Softly to Seraphina)

"Babe...today marks the rise of the Heirs. The beginning of our legacy."

Seraphina:

(Smiling)

"It's more than a legacy. It's the day we become one--before the universe itself."

Aria Ling:

(Smiled)

"And I get to wear something fancy, right?"

Seraphina:

(Playfully stern)

"Go get dress already, Aria. You're not showing up to a royal ceremony with your fighting clothes."

Aria nods and dashes off. Void ling walks to his room, where a violet ceremonial suit awaits--elegant, sharp, woven with threads. Seraphina also, with a purple gown shimmers like starlight. Back at the Empress Dynasty, Empress Asuna turned to Queen Revy and spoke.

Empress Asuna:

Blaze Vortex:

(Smiling)

"They certainty are."

Blazion Vortex:

(Wide--eyed and whispering)

"Is that my dad's rival? His aura...it feels like the weight of a multiverse."

Void ling:

(With warmth)

"And finally... To my Lovely wife, Seraphina--who has stood beside me, fought for me,and loved me through every single moment. And to our daughter, Aria--may she carry our legacy in the coming years."

The crowd roars. The sky shimmer. The crowd is passed. The era begins. The Garden falls into reverent silence. Empress Asuna rises from the ceremonial platform and walks gracefully to stand beside Void ling and Seraphina, her presence regal.
