Deep within the InterSpace — where Aura secretly binds matter, consciousness, and time — the Guardians of Koril detect an impossible phenomenon. On Earth, a forbidden world abandoned for millennia, a network of Auric Veils has suddenly appeared. These topological gateways can bend space, traverse the Aura, and open passages between worlds. Yet they are unlike anything ever recorded. They emerge at the heart of Earth’s oldest sacred and haunted places: Glastonbury, Lake Baikal, Nan Madol, Sedona, Mount Osore… As if humanity’s oldest legends had always sensed their existence. And above all, the Veils carry a signal. A song of pain. A cry for help. Markal, Guardian of the InterSpace, and Azda, a brilliant Korilian metaphysicist, are sent to uncover the source of the phenomenon. Their investigation leads them across Earth’s forgotten myths and ancient spiritual sites. But behind the network lies a far more terrifying reality. On Mars rests the wreck of a starship built with impossibly advanced technology, trapped inside a topological collapse. Now, an unknown force is trying to repair it — and transfer it to Earth through a trans-nodal corridor. Why? Who created the Veils? And what is trying to return to Earth? Between auric science, ancient civilizations, and distortions of reality itself, Azda and Markal must confront a mystery capable of reshaping space, time… and the InterSpace itself. Because some gateways do not merely connect worlds. They awaken what should have remained lost beyond time.
