Sometimes, spirituality left an echo behind. Ves likened it to a space where a spiritual energy dwelled for so long that its sudden absence left a gaping hole and some lingering ripple effects.
The echo he sensed within the Dragon Cat’s heart was like the start of a thread that led off far away and into the imaginary realm.
This was what he sought!
As long as he found a trail, he might be able to find her remnant spirituality!
What happened after an entity with spiritual potential died?
He was about to find out!
He ignored Lucky and Nitaa. He ignored the chill and the stench of dead flesh and blood. He simply closed his eyes and extended his Spirituality in a tentacle that slowly crawled its way towards the site of the echo.
Once his Spirituality reached that point, he began to explore the indentation that the Dragon Cat’s spiritual energy left behind.
What he found was largely a void that was difficult to describe. Though Ves figured he might learn something useful if his Spirituality dwelled here for a while, he suspected he was on a time limit.

He had to find its location in the imaginary realm right away!
After a bit of vague exploration, he finally found a tunnel, for lack of a better world. Ves sent his Spirituality through the tunnel, fearless of what might lay ahead. If worse came to worst, he could just cut off the spiritual energy he invested through the portal.
Fortunately, he encountered no imaginary space beasts or spiritual eldritch horrors or the like. As his Spirituality entered a plane that did not exist in reality, he instantly felt he entered familiar turf.
The imaginary realm’s corrosive winds caressed his tendril of spirituality, attempting to wear it out and break it down into ownerness spiritual energy that would add their strength to the wind!
Fortunately, the quality of his Spirituality easily held against the docile winds. As long as he didn’t encounter a spiritual hurricane or something, he could easily persist for a long while.
Now where was the spiritual remnant he sought for? He found nothing in the immediate vicinity of his emergence point in the spiritual realm.
\"Damnit.. don’t tell me it’s gone with the wind?\"
The way the imaginary realm worked was kind of fuzzy to Ves. Still, if the spiritual wind acted like regular wind, then it might have whisked away the spiritual remnant!
\"How does anchoring even work in this kind of place?\"
He didn’t know, and right now he didn’t care. All he wanted was to find the drifting spiritual remnant before the chaotic turbulence in the wind threw it far off course!
\"Follow the wind!\"
Out of every direction the spiritual remnant could have drifted, following the overall direction of the wind was his best bet. Right now, the wind blowed into one broad direction, and Ves started to coast on it before accelerating even further.
He had to outrun the wind if he wanted to catch up to the spiritual remnant!
A lot of time passed. To be honest, Ves lost all track of time as he continued to stand and close his eyes right next to the humongous carcass of the Dragon Cat.
Lucky grew bored and played with bits and pieces of the carcass while Nitaa vigilantly remained on guard.
Even if absolutely nothing happened, she never grew bored or complacent!
As for Ves, his travels through the spiritual realm was an unimaginably uneventful journey. Much of the spiritual realm was empty, giving him the illusion that he wasn’t progressing at all!
All around, a white-like fog extended in each direction. Carried by the wind, the spiritually corrosive fog blew aimlessly from one point in the imaginary realm to another point.
Despite the incredible dullness and the lack of progress, Ves persisted in his search. He could last for days or even weeks if he had to, though he couldn’t afford to waste too much time in this cooling chamber.
He still had a job to do! Lady Miralix expected him to soup up her Kinslayer and the mechs of her subordinates, and quickly at that! Ves also had to hurry up considering that he was on a fairly short timetable.
Nonetheless, the tranquility of the imaginary realm lulled him into a very serene mood. With all the happenings going on in the material realm, he enjoyed this period of quiet as an escape from both his worries and responsibilities.
Of course, the paranoid part of his mind did its best to keep Ves from becoming too immersed in this idyllic imaginary environment.
\"I can’t fall asleep! Who knows when or if I’ll wake up!\"
He tried to pepper himself up occasionally in order to keep his mind on his primary task. Yet as an indeterminate time went by, Ves started to doubt whether he was still on course to find the missing spiritual remnant.
If he had a better impression of its flavor, then Ves would have probably been able to hone in on it through some other method. An echo was not enough for him to sample the flavor of the Dragon Cat’s spirituality.
\"I don’t even know if I can identify it if I get close.\"
He could only continue with the gamble he had made and hope the wind hadn’t changed direction too much.
Fortunately, his persistence eventually yielded a result, as he started to sense a vague spiritual presence in a different direction than he thought.
He immediately woke from his state of half-focus and began to hone in on the direction of what he sensed.
The emanation in the distance grew stronger, causing him to become encouraged.
He found something!
Time passed, and before he knew it, his spiritual presence in the imaginary realm had reached the side of what appeared to be a very chaotic cloud of spiritual energy!
\"This!\"
