The World's Ego (Book 2)

Waves

Third Person POV

Feiyun paced around in Vita's mind space, having gotten the news that she has to make a public appearance while Luminas announced the news of the war to the world. Both Iris and herself both knew that she didn't know <Parallel Existence>, so the only feasible way for her to manifest in the Cardinal World would be through a feather.

"... Can you stop moving around in there? Your feelings are leaking out. I can practically feel you pacing around." Vita told her

"I'm already busy enough as it is but it's just one problem after another...!" Feiyun complained with a huff before finally plopping down on the floor, "That Velgrynd will definitely take advantage of this..."

"I still don't understand why you dislike her so much." Vita sighed

"You don't know half the story..." Feiyun sighed under her breath, "Anyway, how are things going outside?"

"The Valkyries are still being called and I think they plan on contacting some other friends. I'm..." Vita gave her words a thought before continuing, "Not that keen to interact with them properly."

"Well, that's a first." Feiyun raised a brow in thought, "... Okay. I'll need to be out of here to do my job anyway."

"And..." Vita trailed off, "... Are you okay? They seemed concerned. You were suddenly in pain and switched places with me. Did something happen?"

Feiyun pursed her lips and shook her head, "Nothing happened! Don't worry! There was just a small difficulty but it was resolved!"

"I see... Oh, before I forget, Sa invaded your world once, didn't she?"

"Twice, as far as I'm counting." Feiyun answered

"Ah... So I can assume that you were the one who closed the spatial crack that opened? I was there before and heard your voice." Vita explained, "I almost thought it was the Herrscher of Sentience. Turns out you were her, just from a different world."

Feiyun didn't question her and simply nodded, "Yeah. I closed the crack once. I'm surprised you could recognize my voice."

"Well, I was more surprised than you."

Feiyun huffed in amusement, "I'd reckon you were. Well, time to get moving. Our stay here will probably last for a few days. I'll use that time to prep some things."

"Already? Isn't that too soon?" Vita asks in surprise

Feiyun shrugged, "Nah, I just need to run a few errands. Nothing big. I can continue hiding my presence too."

"Hm, I see. Okay then."

...

Vita hummed as she felt Feiyun leaving her mind again, this time a less sudden departure but she definitely couldn't feel her anymore. She lifted a brow in confusion when Kondou turned to walk away, finally leaving her alone.

"Odd. Does he know that she left?" Vita wondered as he exited the room assigned to her, "How? ... Oh, whatever. I already promised to cooperate so better not get on their nerves."

...

Feiyun walked around after manifesting her body, finding the office of the people she was looking for and entering it after a short knock.

"Hey there." She greeted the people on the other side, "It hasn't been long but I thought you might want to talk, Mei."

Looking around, she noticed the presence of Theresa, Bronya, and a holographic Kiana, possibly having a private conversation. She was slightly thankful that Fu Hua and Senti weren't around, finding them somewhere else in the Schicksal HQ doing their own things using <Universal Detect>.
