Chapter 15

Now that she was a Ruler, Fiyu wanted to do nothing but soulcraft. She had mastered most of the basic skills long ago, but she needed to build up her spiritual muscles now that she had broken through to a new level. Just crafting sublime materials into bricks for her third floor was a strenuous yet satisfying activity. Given how she had only just caught up to her companions, she had no shortage of work.

And yet, for reasons that she couldn't possibly deny, her relative insisted that they leave Ichil. So Fiyu found herself packing up all of her things. At least that was easier, now that she could store mundane items within her soulhome.

"We will be visiting the Fithan city of Nondol," her relative told her. "I believe it is the best location for you to acquire several types of materials for your Ruler floor."

"But I already have various materials," Fiyu said. "Will I need even more?"

"You do not know how far you may travel, or if we will be separated again. I wish for you to have all the core materials you might require to survive, even if you are on an incompatible world."

Fiyu disliked that implication, but she supposed that his argument was prudent. In a sense, it didn't matter where they went, which was why she had only asked about their destination right before the trip. She checked everything stored within her soulhome, then stepped closer to her relative.

"This is a delicate trip," Relative Guchiro said. "There is little danger, but I need to take care. Do not be alarmed when we arrive."

Then her relative activated his borrowed weirkey and the darkness was torn away from the world. Fiyu did her best not to swallow her heart as they crossed the void, and she held tight to her relative to avoid stumbling. It seemed to take longer than usual, then they stood on firm ground again.

Instantly Fiyu was overwhelmed by the immense weight all around her. A world of dense pressure, crushing toward her from every side. She would have been alarmed, if her relative had not advised her against it. On her second pass with her senses, she reassured herself that none of the density was moving any closer to her. They stood within a perfect sphere of ordinary air.

Her first reaction had been so overwhelming that Fiyu had not even looked around her. Now that she did so, she found her environment at once familiar and strange. They stood on a floor of stone with unremarkable buildings: except for being formed of darker rock, they could have been from Norro Yorthin. All of it was lit by soft blue lights held within elaborately carved spheres.

But beyond that, the city was nothing like she had seen before. All of the buildings were contained within a giant sphere of glass. In every direction she could see, there was only crushing blackness: the pressure she had felt at first was the entire ocean pressing in on them.
