We made a quick stop in Mor Dhona for me to get certain things settled. As I walked into the rising stones, I noticed a roegadyn woman standing before us drinking Thencred under the table. I walked up and introduced myself.
"Hello! You must be Moenbryda!"
Over on the other side of the table I heard Thencred try to say something, it was however to slurred to understand.
"Pleasure! I suspect You must be Eidolon! I have been honestly waiting to meet you. Their is much my research could benefit from studying some of your power."
"Interesting, I would be happy to assist in any manor I can. Considering you are attempting to rid us of our biggest threats."
"What I could really use is sample of blood if possible."
Desdemona shrugged at her and smiled as she approached.
"Heya Moen!"
"Little Des! I thought that was you! Why I've not seen you since you were a mere kitten!! Tis great to see you again. Care to help me with my research a bit?"
"I wish I could love but we've work to do. Apparently Red here needs to check on some things."
"Ah, well Eidolon if you could get me a sample of blood in a moment?"
"I suggest you take it now, I need to talk with Alphinaud."
"That does not sound positive."
She quickly took a sample and thanked me. I walked away allowing for Des to catch up with her while I went and found Alphinaud and Ilberd speaking to each other. I waved to them and stopped as soon as I realized how serious they seemed. Ilberd speaking spoke up quickly to stop disrupt the silence.
"Eidolon, I... well I apologize. We found the informant. You know her well enough, Eline Roaille, Raubahns second in command. The was apprehended after attempting to flee. The warrior of light helped us in the endeavour."
"I should go to him right away!"
I turned to leave, Ilberd stopped me and grasped my shoulder.
"He needs some space I think. Their is something else, I think you've the right to know."
Turning towards him, he handed me a folder full of files.
"These are reports sent directly to the Emperor. They are about you and your doings. She has kept a very detailed watch upon you."
I opened it with disbelief, studying each word closely in awe.
"This... is insane..."
"We will be interrogating her in due time. I was curious if you wanted to be their. Perhaps her some answers as to why."
I glanced back at Des whom was still chatting with Moen. She seemed ready to leave as I was.
"Perhaps if I have time later. The issue with Iceheart, was it handled?"
Alphinaud spoke up upon the matter seemingly anxious.
"The warrior or light made light work of her... if you will forgive the pun. Strange she... took upon a primal form they claimed as Saint Shiva."
I stopped and my mouth dropped in shock of his words.
"She became a Primal?! That's ... is she an esper?!"
"From what we have gathered, no. She allowed the primal to take over her body and gained full control over it. We are still studying how and why. However... it seems she possesses the Echo, keeping her immune to the primal influence."
"That atrocity!"
He backed away from me seeing my anger. My hand had become a fist and out of anger I smashed my hand upon a table, accidentally shattering it into bits. From afar I heard Des speak up while everyone in the stones remained silent looking upon me.
"Red, calm down."
I held back my anger as much as I could. Realizing quickly my eyes were glowing more then usual. I bit my lip and covered my eyes with sun glasses. I rushed out of the rising stones as fast as I could. Now, everyone knew something was different about me.
Des rushed out behind me and gently touched my shoulder.
"It's alright, we all lose control sometimes."
"It is getting worse Des. I don't know how to stop it anymore!"
I walked further away, attempting to distance myself from all that was close to me. My mind now fully focused upon Iceheart.
"Red, we have a duty to fulfil, lets worry about the rest of this later."
I thought about it for a moment, allowing myself to cooldown.
"You are right, I apologize, let us finish this business."
We teleported to Northern Thanalan and sought our way to the final allagan sight. As we reached the entrance I brought my hand to the wall and bought the sight to life.
"Wow, maybe we should have called you for the keys."
I looked at Des slightly annoyed. Still I laughed at the thought.
"I suppose you are right, all that hard effort the adventurers put towards clearing these areas."
I concentrated and began to command the site.
"Take us to the power core."
"Command override, Esper Class is to be directed to the Reanimation Chamber."
"Wait... what?"
Aetherial orbs surrounded us and took us quickly through the sight. Landing gently upon a platform which had seen much battle. We glanced around curious until our eyes fell upon remnants of the Dreadwyrm.
"Bahamut"
A loud roar was heard around us as the voice of Bahamut filled our ears.
"My Consort arrives finally to awaken me once more. How I have longed to hear thyn voice again."
Desdemonas dada stood up and she looked towards me.
"Once again. What does he mean?"
I suddenly realized how she angry she had become. Reaching to myself, I never told her of that fateful night.
"Des.... I..."
"It was You!? You were the one whom killed so many people.... You whom killed my Louisoix!?"
"You do not know the whole story!"
"What story? Another lie!? I trusted you... and You are the very source of my own torment!"
She grasped her blades ready to attack me.
"No more lies, You destroyed my world, my home! Time to put an end to you and your race of fools toiling with Primals as if friends!"
"Des put your weapons down. I will not fight you!"
She disappeared and I felt a slash across my chest. Followed immediately after with a stab in my leg.
"Ahhhh!"
I fell to my knees as she reappeared with her blades bloodied.
"You Will fight or you will die without one. I don't care anymore. I will avenge Louisoix!"
She slashed at me again, missing as I dodged her attack. A bolt of lightning hit me and brought me to my knees again. I looked up to see her about to stab me in my head. Grabbing her arm I applied pressure and flipped her over. Holding her arms until I felt a blast upon my back which shot me away from her. As I looked up I saw a fairy flying next to Des.
"Good girl Eos."
"Stop this Des!"
"No, I will get what I want, and put an end to another damned monster."
She tossed a giant blast of fire at me. As it exploded upon impact I screamed in pain. She approached me slowly, walking towards me on the ground. Grasping my hair, she lifted me up to look upon her. Her eyes widened when she saw them glowing and my mouth in a grin.
"Wanna play kitty?"
Several feathers swiped past her, cutting her deep all around her body.
"Guhh! That was low you filthy piece of-"
Before she could finish her insult hit her with a lightning bolt, stunning her. I ran to her and punched her hard into her gut. Then grabbed her by the tail and tossed her Into the air. Focusing on her, I unleashed an explosion upon her and quickly covered her in a water bubble, throwing her hears against the platform. The bubble burst apart and created a bigger impact upon her.
She struggled to pick herself up gazing upon me on her hands and knees.
"That is right Des, I'm a monster. I represent Everything you hate just for being alive. What can you do about it!?"
She stood up keeping her head down. Reaching behind her she grasped her book. I felt myself floating uncontrollably as if something was around me. She glanced up at me revealing her eyes glowing white.
"Phalanx Explosion."
An aetherial shield appeared around me and blasted immense energy upon me.
"GRRRRAHHHH!!!"
As it exploded it tossed me to a side of the platform. I regained my own clear thoughts as she grasped her blades and tossed them into me. I fell over holding the blades in pain.
"Does it hurt Eidolon!? It better."
I brought myself to my knees as she brought out a bow and arrow pointing them at me.
As she nearly let go of the arrow she fell to her knees being shocked from the trail of blood around her fret.
"AHHHHHH!"
I stopped as she fell to the ground. She laid their for a moment as I starred upon her. Finally she began to move and picked herself up. I pulled her blades out of me and tossed her one.
"You want to end it.... now is your only chance."
She kneeled down and grabbed the knife Diamond Dicer. Slowly healing towards me until something pushed us both backwards upon the platform.
"Enough of this!"
I glanced up to see an older Elezen man standing between us. Desdemona laid upon her knees with tears in her eyes.
"....Louisoix?!"
