V3-C17: Communing Aqua flew high into the sky; the planet was serenely spinning below her, masking the cruelty and pain that was occurring upon its ground. Her gaze shifted to the distant stars. She had come here for an important reason. While planetside, the world soul would consider her an invader if she had attempted to commune with it, however, outside the world, she would be able to introduce herself as the outsider and a helper. This is the only way I can think of. It might not even work. She smiled. Her voice did not exist within this vacuum; however, her thoughts were uninhibited. Her clothing fluttered in the cosmic winds that ravaged the space between worlds; even Aether became unstable if one lacked control; however, she had long ago surpassed such an issue. The power flowed around her, and time itself protected her from the cosmic chaos. She crossed her legs and closed her eyes. Speak with me, World Soul. Tell me what did Sun God felt. No answer came, and she did not expect it to come so easily. The World Souls, according to Sun God, were isolationist in nature, only ever communing with chosen ones. Some never spoke, and some spoke to one person in their entire existence. They did not need to do so. Their purpose was to be the core of the world and nothing more. However, when it came to Sun God, it was different. He was special by the fact that he was the only world soul that decided to reoriginate the world and had the power necessary to do so. However, I can’t judge this one by his standards. Her mind spread, and her senses sharpened. If the World Soul would not speak to her, then she needed to bring its attention to herself. Her power coursed through the world; she sensed every plant, and even every sentient being. She passed through them like an ocean current. While that information was irrelevant, it would lead her toward the World Soul. … Nothing answered. She followed the mana currents toward the current’s source. Help… She felt it, a weak cry of the world. Empress…Help… Empress? Please… The voice rang through her head; however, she was not responding to Aqua. Her weeping echoed into the cosmos. It hurts… The voice went quiet. She is in pain. The rot that Sun God mentioned must be serious. She exhaled. The World Soul went quiet; it either did not wish to communicate with Aqua or it was too weak. She squinted and shook her head. No matter what, Aqua had to find a way to help this world’s soul. Sun God had asked that of her, and she would do it. It would be so much easier if she spoke to me. No solution was ever so easy as to offer itself on a silver platter. Wait for me, I will repay Sun God by saving you. Massive blazing wings materialized, and she stretched her limbs. Cosmic storms are so beautiful. She turned away from the world. Even Endurance would be shredded to its very atoms if it ventured too far into the tide of chaos that was the universe. The kaleidoscope of colors was as dangerous as it was pretty. Of course, not many had to worry about cosmic storms. It was a difficult feat to get into the cosmic expanse. However, not even those who had the ability wished to do so; after all, the cosmic storms were too dangerous for anyone without perfect defense like [Temporal Barrier]. I wonder if I could reach the old world if I flew through the cosmic storms. She enjoyed the sensation of the storm before turning back toward the planet. While it was a nice break, she needed to return and head out toward the academy. She would use that time to find a way toward World Soul. It does not matter; the Sun God’s world has nothing left for me. Everything precious is right there. She reached forward and grasped the planet. The world had many problems, most unknown to her, yet it was dear to her in what was a mere blip in her timespan. For all intents and purposes, from her arrival to the current moment was not even a minute in the grand clock of life. Yet despite roadblocks, her life was drastically improved. I need t
