And so, Fiana spent a long time in the land of Origin with Elysia. There was a lot for her to learn : Common sense, how to interact with people, how to take care of herself... Elysia basically raised her. There was no real sense of time here, and due to both of them being only consciouness inside of this space, they didn't face any physical problems. Though, Elysia insisted to have "Girls tea party~" and "Fun times~" from time to time.

...Fiana wasn't sure they were absolutely necessary, but found herself enjoying them a lot. Being with Elysia here was fun. She truly felt that way. The first time she gave Elysia a smile, Fiana realized how happy she was to be alive, to be here, and how much she didn't want to die.

Looking back now, she also felt grateful that Elysia saved her from dying back then.

...

...

But she also understood. Elysia was making sure she would be able to live once she was out of here. Once she would leave her.

At some point in her life here, she had begun earnestly desiring to live on Earth. She understood that it wouldn't be only pretty things : the end of Elysia and the life that she had told Fiana about made it clear, but she still wanted to have a shot at life herself. And she felt scared at the same time : she knew she might never come back here if she left. She might never see Elysia again.

Starting from scratch ,and in the unknown, terrified her.

...

...

Elysia slowly walked towards Fiana. She wore casual clothes and changed the scenery of the land of Origin : they were on a shore at midnight, the starry sky above them.

She knew that it was time for her to leave. More precisely, it had been for a while now. But Fiana hesitated. 'She is scared. No surprises here, though.' Due to that, Elysia didn't breach that topic and decided to give her time. However, that time had to come to an end eventually.

"Fiana." gently called Elysia as she stood next to her on the beach. «Let's talk, okay ?"

Fiana spent enough time here to know immediately what Elysia meant. It wasn't a surprise.

...

So, it was finally time.

Elysia kept her silence. She understood that she waited for her to begin.

"I...I- Elysia ,I want to go." Fiana struggled to get the words out. "But I'm so scared. I had you with me up until now, but I'm going alone this time and, and I don't know where I'll be and-!"

She was cut off by Elysia suddenly hugging her. Elysia felt her heart squeezing in her chest. She sympathized with those emotions, for she had felt them too.

"When I departed from the orphanage when I was small, I was feeling the same. Scared, apprehensive of the unknown...but also excited and hopeful. That fear you have is normal, Fiana. Because there's no way to know what will happen, that fear is the very proof that-" Elysia walked back and put a hand atop her heart"-your heart is beating with the hopes and dreams of tomorrow."

"...Me ?" Fiana asked bewildered, putting a hand top her heart too.

"Yes~. That's why, if you want to take a break, you can. If moving forward becomes too much, you can stop for a while. But never give up. Besides, I told you, didn't I ? Humans don't exist as solitary creatures. They all live by connecting to each other in an infinite number of ways. And in doing do, they weave the beautiful Ego I believe in."

Fiana closed her eyes, letting Elysia's words sink inside of her.

"And I am Origin. You, born by Finality and me, the Herrscher of Origin, will never truly be apart. After all, I connect all Herrschers." Elysia winked at her.

"By a very... pink connection, I'm sure-"

She paused for a second only.

"-Onee-chan." chuckled Fiana as she opened her eyes.

"See~,you managed to learn how to crack jokes, isn't th-" Elysia brutally stopped talking as Fiana's words catched up to her. "Onee-chan...?"

Fiana shyly smiled at the dumbstruck Elysia "In fact, I've also been searching for a word to describe our link and for a parting gift for you. That's one of the reasons I couldn't leave yet. ...Is this, okay ? I feel like there are no other way I could call you."

The sound of water hitting water soon echoed on the beach. "Onee-chan ?"

Elysia was crying.

"H-Hahaha, to make your b-big sister cry like this, what a mischievous little sister you are." stammered Elysia as she wiped her tears.

The two hugged each other with all their strength, committing the other to memory as their tears dropped on each other.

"I'll keep moving forward, Onee-chan. I'll definitely find my own happiness and create a story you'll be proud of ."

"Yes, I'm sure you will. Godspeed, my beautiful, beloved little sister, Fiana !" Elysia smiled at her.

"...Yeah. See you later, Elysia-onee-chan !"

Fiana gave her most beautiful and wide smile yet to Elysia's eyes, and shouted her goodbye with an unprecedented loudness.

Fina opened her eyes to the wide landscape.

'Where am I ...?Ah, I see.' It didn't take long for her to recall this scenery. And the blue planet in the distance gave Fiana an obvious hint.

This time when she opened her eyes, she was still a consciouness, but she was on the moon. More precisely, in the Final Crater.

Her birthplace as the Final Herrscher, as the End. However, if she were to stay here in this state, vanishing would be her only option. Fortunately for her, things shifted quickly.

'Even after so much time, you're still here, huh ?' Fiana turned to look at HER corpse. It had withered quite a bit.

A single tear began to form in its remaining eye. Oddly enough, Fiana wasn't alarmed or surprised. She opened her arms as the tear dropped on the ground towards her and swallowed her. The tear and Fiana sunk to the ground.

And then, flowers bloomed. On the utterly dead ground of the moon, flowers of vibrant colors began to thrive. At the center of the field, an enormous and beautiful pink flower emerged and bloomed. In its parted petals, the human Fiana experienced the first beatings of her heart.

...

...

"Okay, this is going to be complicated."

Here Fiana was, walking in circles on the edge of the Final Crater, a hand on her chin, seemingly thinking very hard.

"So, I need to go to Earth, but crossing into the atmosphere is out of the question : that is possible but not for now."

Fiana was quick to notice that she had a stigmata and immediately knew the powers it brought her.

- Mirror of Herrscher : she could use watered-down versions of Herrscher authorities beside Finality.

- Final Herrscher's... dress ? ...bodysuit ? : What she was wearing right now, alongside her means of battle that stayed the same. She could figure out the name later.

"But I don't know how to fully control them yet. Using multiple Herrscher authorities to cross safely into the atmosphere should be possible, but not with how inexperienced I am to this. Even with that, I can't stay here waiting." She found out that voicing her thoughts worked better than just thinking them. "I need another way to access the Earth."

In her pondering, she used the Authority of Void to observe the space. She found that there were multiple bubbles universes, but no passageway to Earth.

...Wait, bubble universes ? She jerked her head back to Earth. "Yes, that's it !" she exclaimed as she found the solution.

She would just need to use the Authority of Void to go towards the Earth and leave the moon while using the Authority of Fire to keep herself warm. Once she was close enough to sense bubble universes of the Earth ,she would enter them and use them to open a path to Earth's surface !

...

There were a few mishaps along the way, though. Fine tuning the Authority of Fire so that she didn't burn herself was one complication. While the Authority of the Void was easy enough to use to fly and warp in outer space, once she got to the part where she needed to enter a bubble universe, things didn't go quite as planned. to put it bluntly, she ended up...

...completely missing her target and crashed straight into the Sea of Quanta.

"What ? No, I messed up ,where is the path ?!"

Oh, and she learned the hard way that the real world's outer space and the Sea of Quanta were two very different dimensions and almost completely lost her way once inside.

...

Fortunately, due to the fact that Fiana got close to Earth as much as possible without being pulled by its gravity and a considerable amount of luck, she made it to a point where the Sea of Quanta was connected to Earth. She hurriedly steeped inside.

...

She walked her way out of the forest she appeared in and stared at the scenery before her.

"This is..." the words escaped her lips, herself unaware that she spoke them.

"...Beautiful. I really say that a lot lately."

And so, Fiana burst in laughter as she admired the first sunrise of her journey on Earth.

Author's note :

And that's it for Fiana's introduction ! Hope I did that well. The sister relationship was a must, in my opinion : leaving them as only friends here just didn't feel fitting. If you've liked it ,drop a fav/comment. Constructive opinions are appreciated since it's my first story and Thanks for reading ;) !
