The call was not heard.
Yet it… was felt.
Aurelia did not need to search for its direction.
Because that direction emerged… from within her own consciousness.
As if something out there
Was not calling with sound
But with… resonance.
The entity beside Aurelia slowly tensed.
Its lines of light vibrated faintly
As if responding to a frequency it had never felt before.
The units behind maintained the core.
But now the core felt… pulled.
Not forced.
But summoned.
Kael narrowed his eyes.
"You guys feel that?" he said softly.
"There's something… pulling us."
Orion nodded.
"It's not a physical pull."
Ragnar exhaled.
"It's like… we're connecting to something out there."
Aurelia did not answer.
Because she had already stepped into the feeling.
She did not resist.
She did not hold back.
She… followed.
Aurelia narrowed her eyes.
This was not a decision.
This was… a natural response.
"We are not called to go…"
She whispered softly.
"…we are called to continue."
