Enigma of Darkness ✨

Epilogue- Harmony under the Moonlit Sky

The days following the conference were filled with a whirlwind of events. People gathered once again to honor the miners with a solemn memorial service. They laid flowers, observed a moment of silence, and quietly departed, each returning to their own lives.

Meanwhile, the Y.S.F.A.T. took swift and decisive action. They seized all properties owned by the Li family, dismantling the dark network they controlled and shutting it down entirely. With bars and other subsidiary businesses closed the properties were auctioned off once all traces of illicit activity had been removed. Those responsible for running the illegal enterprises were apprehended and taken into custody.

With Myrril's help, the doctors and researchers in Azrail's labs, who had been developing dangerous drugs that could manipulate secondary genders and induce abnormal states, were captured, and their operations were eradicated from the market. The cleansing of this network continued throughout the year, exposing numerous powerful and influential figures. Each of them was brought in, charged, and faced the full weight of the law. In the end, the remaining Li family left Wolford, abandoning everything they had once controlled.

Keon's father, too, faced justice and received a lengthy prison sentence. His mother was left devastated, though having Keon by her side provided some comfort. Taking responsibility for his family's future, Keon assumed leadership and began rebuilding in the aftermath of his father's crimes.

During this period, the media stumbled upon a mysterious book detailing the horrifying truths behind the Li family's deeds written in someone's blood. No one knew where it had come from, but its revelations sent shockwaves through the community, causing a sensation in the media that lasted for weeks. The book was printed in limited copies, and people clamored to own a piece of this haunting history. The book was then preserved in a museum.

Yet, even as secrets were exposed, one mystery persisted: the identity of Umbra. Despite the relentless efforts of the press to unmask Umbra's role, officials remained tight-lipped.

As time passed, Umbra became something of a legend, a mysterious figure who had ignited the flames of justice only to vanish without a trace. People speculated, whispered, and spun theories, but the truth behind Umbra's identity remained elusive, shrouded in secrecy.

As more time passed, people whispered about it like a deity from folklore—a guardian who would rise in times of injustice and darkness. The name became a symbol of hope and mystery, an ever-present reminder of the extraordinary events that had reshaped Wolford.

With stability restored, a new government was formed, heralding an era of profound change. This government was structured around four major houses. The first, led by the mates, became a beacon of strength and leadership. The second house remained under the stewardship of the Wests, continuing their historic role. The third, to the surprise of many, was entrusted to Myrril and his small but capable team, a decision that underscored merit and innovation.

The fourth house, however, was the most groundbreaking of all. The mates announced that it would be composed of a diverse cabinet chosen directly by the people—a group representing omegas, betas, and alphas from various economic backgrounds and professions. This house would serve as the voice of the people, ensuring inclusivity and equity in governance. Its members elected every four to five years, embodied the ideals of representation and accountability, a stark contrast to the past.

The laws that once governed Wolford were thoroughly overhauled, and replaced by a more progressive and inclusive legal framework aimed at fostering security, privacy, and efficient governance while unlocking opportunities for all. These reforms sought to ensure that every individual, regardless of gender or social standing, could thrive in a fair and supportive environment.
