Luke and Cienna had changed more than Lucien expected.
Both had recently entered the Eternal Realm.
That alone would have been enough to make the visit memorable.
What they told him afterward made Lucien go still.
The sensation had returned during their breakthroughs.
That distant pull.
The same inexplicable connection they had felt before had become clearer the moment they crossed into Eternal.
This time, it had not stopped with a vague sense of direction.
Knowledge had entered their minds.
It was neither a memory nor a voice.
It felt closer to an instruction imprinted directly into their understanding.
Their Laws were still incomplete. To become whole, they needed to be anchored to something beyond the Big World.
Luke and Cienna could still feel it even now.
A distant place.
Something vast enough that neither could properly describe it, yet familiar enough that their Laws seemed to recognize it instinctively.
