Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Void of the Heart. Enjoy the 1600-word chapter. I don't own HI3D, miHoYO and a few others do.
(Earth, Oliver's home, 10:00 PM, Wednesday.)
Oliver and Sirin sat on the bed. Oliver looked at her while he sat in his PJs and looked at her.
"I found a location where we can visit tomorrow… The internet is so interesting." Sirin said before Oliver sighed.
"There's things you shouldn't see on the internet, Sirin… Just trust me…" Oliver said, Sirin looked to the side and then to the human.
"I might stay on Earth for good… It has been a few days… But I grow fonder of this world day by day… If only slightly…" Sirin said before Oliver blinked and then Sirin predicted what Oliver would say.
"We're speak of this tomorrow…. I am tired… And from the way you look? You are as well…" Sirin said before she leaned back in the bed.
Oliver sighed and got into bed before Sirin snuggled up to him again. Oliver sighed and hugged the Houkai Queen to her while sleep over came the friends.
Neither had a nightmare… And both were getting used to living together.
(Zima Empire Homeland, Cor Glacies)
Within the frozen walls of Zima's homeland was the empress of the empire, the woman who had built it from nothing.
Her name was formerly spoken but most people called her the empress.
This was Sophie, the Empress of the Zima Empire. She looked at the figure who claimed to be born from the Zima Empire.
All her divine power was at the empress's control.
"You are sure this was part of the plan? Your ideas have cost me an entire fleet." Sophie hissed, the Herrscher of Reason flexed her cybernetic legs, a gift from the country.
"You humans are so questionable… But yes, this is a part of the plan… You know who attacked and sunk your fleet…" Came the voice of Sergey, he smirked while the Herrscher summoned her canon.
"Don't speak to the empress like that… Or I'll kill you myself…" Reason stated before Sergey laughed.
"For a Herrscher like your former friend, I'm surprised you'd work with a human, reason… But you have a point…. And this is the work of the Herrscher of the Void… She is the former queen of the Houkai… And she is stronger than your little Herrscher right next to you…" Sergey said while the god walked around the room.
"She's stronger than you, you had to use that lance your holding to weaken her…." Reason stated before Sophie spoke up.
"If it's all the same with you… I'll be launching the next part of the war…. Reason, you're be leading the invasion with General Hadrius…. Don't underestimate this… Sirin…" Sophie ordered and Reason bowed and went to gather more Zima forces.
Sophie turned back to Sergey and narrowed her eyes.
"I am not the first one to have the title of the 'Great' I will not follow the mistakes of my grandmother… And god or not, if this fails, both the Star Republic and this Sirin will come here… You promised me power and control of the world…." Sophie said, Sergey started to laugh.
"You're have your name in lights and more, your majesty… But you must trust me… If Sirin reaches these lands, I'll deal with her… But I must warn you… She has an ally, a Human… Something is off about him…. I wish to investigate… And Sirin's army will rejoin her by the end of the week if she isn't killed, unless I'm wrong, she is stronger than I thought… I'll investigate this human and return to tell you what our next move should be." Sergey said before he vanished.
Sophie looked at the god and sighed and crossed her arms.
"Damned deities messing with Human affairs…" Sophie stated before she laid back in her throne.
(With Sirin and Oliver)
Sirin blinked and sat up before yawning and seeing Oliver in the doorway.
"Good morning, Oliver." Sirin said before she blinked.
Oliver's eyes glowed blue and she levitated to her friend and her boots, gloves and wings were summoned while she floated over.
"Oliver?" Sirin asked, she put her hands on the sides of Oliver's head and closed her eyes.
(Oliver's mind)
"What secrets are you hiding, Human? No… More than Human… Yes, you are far more then human, it seems… You just don't know it. I was curious, that brat…" Oliver heard while he was forced to his knees, he had chains of black energy around his neck and limbs.
"What do you want? Get… Out… It hurts." Oliver said before a force of lightning knocked the voice back.
Oliver wheezed and saw a figure with an orange helmet with a black cloak, a glowing wolf on his chest along with golden armor, he had a black helmet and blue cloak. He saw red glowing eyes through the helmet and vulture like wings on his back… Talons tipped his hands and furs hung from his armor.
"SERGEY!" Oliver heard and turned to see a glowing purple version of Sirin.
"The queen… I was beginning to think you had forgotten me… You've not shown care about anything not belong to you… Except…" Sergey stated before he telekinetically pulled Oliver's avatar to him.
Sirin growled and prepared to kill Sergey while he grabbed Oliver by the throat like a human shield.
"Release him, Sergey! He has nothing to do with this!" Sirin bellowed, her eyes glowed with pure rage.
"And yet you have much more concern for him! you know he is special and yet you are still too selfish to admit it to him? You truly are the Queen of the Void…." Sergey said before Sirin stepped forward.
"If you hurt a hair on his body, I'll…" Sirin said as Sergey laughed and threw the human to the ground.
"Your falling for a Human… More than a human and yet you are too selfish to yourself to admit it… It almost makes me wonder just how perfect it will be when your old friend invades Oliver's sad little lands…" Sergey said while Sirin helped Oliver to his feet.
"What invasion?" Sirin asked, Sergey said nothing for a minute and chuckled.
"Your see… Goodbye for now, Queen of the Houkai…" Sergey said before Sirin tried to blast him with lightning.
He teleported as the bolt struck empty air. Sirin looked around the room and then she sighed.
"No!" Sirin yelled in rage and then she looked at Oliver. He blinked while she wrapped her hands around him.
"Oliver…." Sirin cooed while stroking his hair, running her fingers through his hair while she sighed.
(Oliver's home)
Sirin laid Oliver down on the couch before she leaned down to check on the Human.
"Oliver… Are you ok?" Sirin asked, resting her heads on his head while he slowly breathed.
Sergey went after Oliver, it sighed and he looked at her while continued to pant.
"That…. Was Sergey?" Oliver asked, Sirin nodded while Oliver looked to the ceiling and then looked to the ground.
"You need to rest; I can heal your physical wounds… But Sergey's attack on your mind put stress on it…. You could go mad if you push your body… Rest, I'll stay with you until you can move…" Sirin stated, Oliver chuckled.
"Going to be hard to sleep when I just had 2 gods fight in my brain… How about we just talk?" Oliver asked, Sirin nodded while she sat back on the chairs around the couch.
"I had Sergey crawling around my brain for 2 hours… I tried to get you up to help, he started digging… And digging… He kept saying I have something… Something you wanted and it drew you to me…. He wanted something, tore at me for something… Then you came." Oliver said and Sirin looked to the side
"I don't know if he's wrong or right… But if he's right? We're going to need a talk, Sirin…" Oliver said coldly, his voice like ice.
Sirin went to speak and then closed her mouth. She sighed. She nodded; she didn't know how to feel about what Sergey accused her of.
"We will… I'm just glad you're ok…" Sirin said, she sighed and looked to the side while Oliver closed his eyes slightly.
Sirin did care for Oliver, he was the first person who didn't seem to serve her out of sheer fear, respect or loyalty. She knew what love was, but she had never been in a true relationship… She was a goddess, people either feared her or they respected her too much to attempt to court him.
As for the thing he accused her of? She sensed something within Oliver was different due to the blast to his chest.
She couldn't tell what it was though. Sergey and her had a level of power when it came to mind games, but she couldn't peel through his mind… It would kill him and she was too unwilling to harm Oliver to risk his health.
Oliver looked to the side and groaned before Sirin looked to the window. Sirin looked back at Oliver and sighed.
She didn't know of the invasion that would happen in 2 days.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out Oliver and Sirin will be in a relationship by the end of the invasion. I do want to point out Sergey, Sophie, the Herrscher of Reason and Zima Empire are the bad guys. Next chapter will be on Sunday or so and will show Oliver recovering and both finding out about the invasion. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
