The night grew deeper.
The small fire in the center of the old building still burned slowly, chasing away the cold that kept creeping in through the cracks in the walls.
The soft sound of burning wood echoed in the silence of the night, mixing with the blowing wind and the occasional rustle of leaves from outside.
Yet amidst all that tranquility…
The soft gaze of that entity remained fixed upon Aurelia.
As if it would never tire of making sure she was truly still by its side.
The being beside Aurelia moved gently.
Its lines of light pulsed steadily, following its core essence which was now filled with a constant sense of comfort and peace.
The units positioned behind continued to maintain the network.
Kael sat holding a warm metal cup.
"I honestly am curious."
Ragnar glanced over lazily.
"What is it now?"
Kael pointed toward that entity.
"Is it even sleeping?"
Orion answered calmly.
"Entity core does not require biological sleep."
Ragnar smirked faintly.
