Ralen

Deep beneath their family home, in a hidden chamber humming with holograms and quiet light, Reyna Snjougla pores over her grandfather’s cryptic writings. She is determined to find a rational explanation for the impossible things she and her younger sister Hilde can suddenly do. Nearby, Hilde sits with eyes closed, sensing truths that Reyna’s equations can’t yet capture. Both sisters have recently learned the truth: their uncanny perception-based abilities—subtle powers to influence probability, perceive energy, and heal—are no coincidence, but the intended result of a daring experiment their late grandfather Magnus set in motion when they were infants. Now, guided by their father Haden and armed with Magnus’s progressively-unveiling Codex Mentis, Reyna and Hilde throw themselves into unraveling the science and ethics of their own gifts. From quantum physics to Norse mythology, no source of insight is off-limits. In the Nexus, an underground training space where advanced technology and ancient traditions meet, the sisters practice expanding their awareness and find each has a unique talent: Reyna can see the elegant probabilities underlying reality, while Hilde intuitively taps into the vital energy connecting all living things. As they train, they discover Magnus’s “new” techniques have roots in knowledge passed down for centuries—wisdom kept alive through Nordic lineage and the careful stewardship of mentors like him. Piece by piece, Reyna and Hilde begin to understand that they are not anomalies but inheritors of an ancient responsibility. Magnus’s core idea was radical yet simple: what if consciousness is a fundamental force in the universe, capable of shaping reality? Embracing this idea, the sisters learn that RALEN (Resonant Awareness Linking Energetic Networks) isn’t about controlling the world at a whim—it’s about understanding the profound relationship between mind and world. Armed with growing knowledge and a deepening sisterly bond, they stand at the threshold of a transformation. How Reyna and Hilde choose to wield their awakened gifts will not only define their own identity, but could quietly shape the world around them in ways no one imagined.
