Evening was slowly turning into night as Aurelia's group continued to explore Dawn City.
Street lamps began to light up, one by one.
Golden glow spilled over the main thoroughfare, alive with the bustle of its people.
The air felt warm.
Vibrant.
And for the first time in what felt like ages, they stood in a place that truly felt like home to so many.
The creature at Aurelia's side moved with gentle grace.
Its line of light pulsed with a steady, calm rhythm.
The units behind remained vigilant, maintaining their protective network.
Kael looked as though he had just stumbled upon paradise.
Ever since entering the city, his eyes had not stopped wandering.
Every shop drew his gaze.
Every food stall slowed his steps.
And every scent drifting through the air brought a more dramatic expression to his face.
"I love this place."
Ragnar chuckled softly.
"We've only been here a few hours."
"That's more than enough."
Kael pointed toward a food shop.
"Look at that."
"And?"
