Chapter 8: The Auditor's Eye
The abandoned observatory was a monument to forgotten knowledge. The walls were peeling, the glass was shattered, and the grand telescope was a rusted, skeletal mess. The air was thick with the scent of dust and decay, but beneath it all, Wednesday could feel a faint, electrical hum, a subtle vibration that emanated from deep within the building.
She followed the signal, her feet silent on the creaking floorboards, and found it. An ancient, humming device, a strange, beautiful thing of polished brass and intricate wires. It was like nothing she had ever seen. It was not supernatural. It was something else entirely.
"What is this?" she whispered, her hand hovering over the device. "This isn't supernatural. It's... technological. But not human technology."
She touched it, and a vision, not from her but from the device, flooded her mind. A being of pure, unadulterated light, a towering, silent figure of perfect, geometric symmetry. A 'Cosmic Auditor,' a name whispered from the device's core, a name that felt ancient and terrifying.

Wednesday's heart, a muscle she had always kept in check, skipped a beat. "An Auditor," she whispered, a new kind of fear in her voice. "An accountant of reality." This wasn't a monster. This was something else. Something far worse. Something that dealt not in death, but in the erasure of existence. The dusty, abandoned observatory, with its forgotten gears and humming machine, perfectly reflected the ancient, forgotten nature of the threat she had just uncovered. This was a mystery far older than any she had ever encountered, and she was in over her head.
Meanwhile, in Novia, Alex was working with Enid on the meditation technique. He had a theory, one he'd developed in his past life, about how to calm the mind. The System, ever a slave to its own programming, could enhance it.
"Just breathe, Enid," Alex said, his voice a calm anchor in the storm of her emotions. "Feel the energy, don't fight it. It's a part of you."
Enid struggled at first, her hands shaking, her body tense. "But it's so angry," she said, her voice trembling. "It wants to howl. It wants to run."
"Then let it," Alex said, his voice firm. "But on your terms. You are in control. It is your power. Not the other way around."

Alex felt the warmth of her trust, and his power became even more stable. Her anxiety was being replaced by a quiet confidence. The two of them, sitting in the pristine white of the command center, were an island of calm in a sea of chaos.

The message popped up, and Alex saw Enid's face go slightly pink. "What was that?" she asked, her voice a little too high.
"Nothing!" Alex quickly denied, trying to hide the amused twitch of his lips. The System was a terrible matchmaker, but its data was, as always, undeniable.

The message appeared, a new function that Alex knew would be vital. He wasn't just a collector of powers. He was a master of skills, a synthesizer of a team. He looked at Enid, at the fierce determination in her eyes, and a wave of warmth and gratitude washed over him.
Alex and Enid's hands touched as they meditated, and in that moment, as his Visions power, now a stable, powerful force, flared, he saw it. A horrifying, terrifying flash of a panicked Wednesday. Her eyes were wide with a terrible revelation, and she was standing in the old observatory, surrounded by a blinding white light.
"Something's wrong," Alex said, his voice grim, a cold dread settling in his gut. "My Visions... I saw Wednesday. She was in trouble."
Enid, her hands no longer shaking, her face set with a new, fierce determination, stood up. "Then let's go. She's our friend. Our family." The words, simple as they were, were a powerful declaration of loyalty.
Alex reflected on the fact that he was going into a dangerous situation to save Wednesday, the same person who had given him so much grief, the same person who had called him an imbecile. But it didn't matter. She was a part of Novia now. She was a part of his team.
She's family, he thought. I have to save her.
[Novia System: Visions of Ally in peril. Host must act now.]
The message was a blunt, final order. He didn't need it. The vision, the terror in Wednesday's eyes, was all the motivation he needed. With a pop, the portal opened, and Alex and Enid stepped through, running towards a blinding white light that signaled Wednesday's danger, a new, far more dangerous enemy, and a battle for the soul of Novia itself.
