While exploring a beautiful lake filled with concentrated life force, the traveler and their companions encounter a small, violet phoenix that emerges from the water. The creature identifies itself as Vaythos, the sentient manifestation of the planet itself. The phoenix claims to possess the traveler's memories and those of the world, ultimately revealing that it relies on the traveler's essence for growth. After confirming its identity as the world core, the tiny bird insists on offering its healing services to ensure the traveler's well-being.

The minute phoenix perched comfortably upon my shoulder, folding its wings against its diminutive frame as it surveyed us with brilliant, curious eyes. Its feathers, composed of violet essence, flickered softly like embers in the twilight.

"Hey," she inquired, observing the small creature with fascination. "Are you named?"

The bird stood tall with pride, puffing out its chest as if that query had been long overdue.

"Indeed, I am."

It fluttered away from me and hovered suspended in our midst, wings beating rhythmically as trace amounts of violet essence drifted from their tips.

"My name is Vivi."

A brief silence followed, then the miniature phoenix added jauntily, "Since I am violet… hence, Vivi."

For a fleeting moment, none of us spoke.

Then, Steve erupted into laughter. "That is absolutely perfect."

Aurora offered a subtle smile while shaking her head, and Ragnar merely nodded his approval.

"Well," I remarked shortly after, "it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Vivi."

The tiny phoenix appeared gratified by this, fluttering back to settle onto my shoulder once more.

"After such a long absence, we have finally returned home," I continued, scanning the serene forest and the quiet lake at our side. "I intend to spend time wandering. I am curious to see how Vaythos has evolved."

Vivi tilted her head to one side. "That is unnecessary."

I blinked, surprised. "And why is that?"

"I can reveal it to you."

This captured everyone’s immediate attention.

"Reveal what?"

"The memories."

A profound silence took hold.

Steve gazed at the tiny creature. "…What?"

Even I was struck by confusion. "Memories?" I asked again.

Vivi bobbed her head with enthusiasm. "Yes. The memories of Vaythos. Everything that transpired while you were gone."

Knight’s voice emerged softly. "And you can simply… transfer them to us?"

Vivi shrugged her minute wings. "I believe so."

Everyone stared at her in silence.

"I am not entirely sure of the method," she confessed honestly, "but I possess the feeling that I can relay them to you."

My eyes narrowed as I weighed the possibility. If Vivi truly held fragments of the planet's sentience, the transfer of such impressions remained well within the realm of possibility.

"Very well," I finally stated. "Let us attempt it."

Vivi brightened instantly. "Splendid!"

She lifted from my shoulder and hovered directly before my gaze, her form shining with greater intensity as she drew near. Gently, she pressed her forehead against mine.

For one heartbeat, nothing occurred.

Then, suddenly—a torrent of memories flooded my mind.

Visions cascaded through my consciousness. I witnessed the expansion of Vaythos' capital. I saw the growth of distant cities, spreading across the landscape with fresh architecture and roads. I observed the royal military growing in strength, their ranks bolstered by newly disciplined forces. I saw Arkas, Edgar, and watched the graduation ceremonies of the elite units. Vaythos had undergone significant, rapid change.

The ritual lasted nearly two minutes, yet by its conclusion, I felt as though I had personally lived through every fleeting moment. The memories locked into place within my mind like chapters of a history I had witnessed firsthand rather than inherited from another.

Vivi fluttered her wings and returned to her perch on my shoulder.

Steve stepped forward instantly. "How was it?"

I nodded slowly, adjusting to the sudden influx of knowledge. "It was successful," I replied. "She passed the memories along. I witnessed the transformation of Vaythos with my own eyes."

"Remarkable. Vivi, you are truly incredible," Steve remarked, reaching out as if to stroke her head.

The reaction was instantaneous. Vivi vanished from my shoulder in a flash of violet essence, reappearing several meters away, hovering with her wings spread wide.

"I dislike being handled," she declared, her tone grave.

Steve blinked in astonishment and lowered his hand. "My apologies, Lady Vivi."

"You are excused," she returned politely.

A moment later, she fluttered back to occupy my shoulder as if nothing had occurred.

I offered a slight smile before allowing my perception to expand.

The moment I released my awareness, it surged across Vaythos like a shockwave of essence. Through the Sovereign Link connected to the world core, the entirety of the planet stood revealed to me. Mountains, forests, urban centers, oceans, and countless living creatures filled my perception. The discovery regarding our current coordinates surprised me.

"Amazing," I murmured. "You constructed this entire sanctuary solely for your own use?"

Vivi’s wings fluttered in agitation. "Yes!"

She lifted from my shoulder, circling briefly in the air. "This place sits right beside the capital. Over there." She gestured with one tiny wing.

Through my expanded senses, the layout became lucid. The capital of Vaythos had swollen in size since I last viewed it, expanding with new districts and fortifications. On one flank of the city, a colossal cliff rose toward the heavens like a natural barrier. The cliff traversed the horizon, towering over the metropolis like the edge of a mountain range.

And atop that massive cliff… lay this forest.

A vast, emerald expanse of ancient timber stretched across the plateau overhanging the capital. The forest was dense and vibrant with life energy, and at its heart sat the tranquil lake where we rested now. The giant tree beside the water dominated the horizon, its massive boughs shading meadows of exquisite flowers that blanketed the terrain.

From below, the forest would look like a hidden realm suspended above the city, nearly like a secret garden watching over the capital.

Vivi continued with pride. "I warned everyone to shun this place," she stated. "And they complied."

She paused for a second before adding, "Well… most of them, anyway."

I raised an eyebrow. "Some of the military officers resisted at first," she admitted.

"And what was the outcome?" Ragnar inquired with curiosity.

Vivi puffed her chest out proudly. "A single attack proved sufficient to terrify them."

I found myself chuckling at that, turning toward Steve and North. "So," I suggested, "why don't we visit our families?"

Both nodded immediately. Steve beamed. "Finally."

North’s gaze was already drifting toward the capital sprawling below us. "And let us see what the old men have accomplished since our departure," I added with a faint grin.

This remark drew a light laugh from Steve. I then turned toward my summons. "You are all free to roam," I instructed them. "Explore Vaythos to your hearts' content."

None required a second invitation.

Ragnar rolled his shoulders, grinning. "Time to witness what this world has become."

Lyrate was already eyeing the forest canopy with curiosity, seemingly sensing the life energy pulsating across the land. Knight dissolved into shadows, vanishing toward the plateau's edge. Aurora drifted silently into the sky, trailing arcs of lightning, while Silver unfurled his wings and launched into the open air.

Ash was the final one to depart; he gave me a silent nod before his presence dissolved into the surrounding space. Within moments, they had all scattered across the surface of Vaythos.

North stepped closer, offering a quick kiss before pulling back with a radiant smile. "Until soon."

"Indeed. Extend my regards to your family."

Then, she climbed into the sky with Steve right beside her, the pair speeding toward their respective homes.

The wind sighed through the grand boughs of the ancient tree as their figures faded beyond the forest. Silence settled back upon the sanctuary. Only the soft murmur of the lake and the rustling of flowers remained.

Now, only Vivi and I occupied the quiet refuge she had fashioned above the capital.
