Eidolon-A Trap Triggered

Public
I laid in my bed for hours trying to sleep. The fire in the corner had died down and was beginning to fade. My mind wandered back and forth upon the thought of leaving the Scions. Giving in, I sat up in my bed, wiggling my bottom backwards till I could rest my back comfortably upon the headboard. Sighing aloud to myself, I looked around the stone walls, becoming ever darker as the fire grew dim.

"How long has it been since I could sit around and think for myself rather then everyone around me?"

I bit my lower lip feeling as if a heavy weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Quickly replaced with yet another, now featuring worries of the unknown. Everything up till this point had been preordained or seemed as such. All my decisions were made in an effort to better everyone around me, over myself. Now, after a small lifetime of serving others, I was about to leave the comfort of what I know to figure out what I want to do with my life.

"....However long That may be."

I shook my head, dwelling upon the memories of the Scions after taking over as Antecedent.

"Is it right for me to leave them without a leader? I think they could easily handle themselves.... But does that make it right?"

Ultimately I knew I was merely trying to sway my own decision. War seemed to be inevitable at this point. The last reports coming from the Ala Mhigo resistance indicated the Griffon was planning something big. All evidence seemed to be pointing in his direction as well.

"Maybe I should just.. take matters into my own hands. Go flush him out and destroy him before-"

I stopped as I caught myself saying the word I did not mean to speak.

"Destroy.... Is that what I know best truly? Can I never know peace in my lifetime? In the end, even if I free myself from the shackles of leadership, what else new shackle will await me? What new responsibilities will the people seek for me?"

Again I shook my head, moving my legs up to my lightly covered chest, I wrapped my arms around my knees, resting my chin upon my right knee as I lost myself in thought again. An image of Haurchefant passed through my mind. His smile as he released his last breath. Another image of Master Denz, training me out in the Black Shroud. Even now I could feel the sting of his staff hitting the back of my legs or my thighs to keep me training.

*doo doo doo* *doo doo doo*

My linkpearl began to ring next to me. I glanced over at it, confused as to whom would be calling this time of the morning. Grasping it, I placed it into my ear and listened closely.

"Hello? Eidolon here-"

"Heh... So this is what that mechanism of hers does is it?"

My eyes widened at the sound of the familiar voice.

"Wha... Who is this?!"

"Very Sloppy of you to let your dear miqo'te friend out of your sights. I'd let her on to beg for her life but well, you know. Cat got her tongue or voice at least."

"Ilberd you Bastard!! Let her go!"

"Now why would I give up my trump card so quickly?"

I bit my lower lip and glanced around the empty room.

"What do you want?"

"Me? I want you dead as your mother. But that's not for me to take care of. Meet me within Southern Thanalan. I have a feeling you know where, watching me all this time. Do so Alone without any of your blasted idiot friends getting in the way, and you may just spare this one."

Blood trickled down my mouth and jaw as I bit harder.

"I take your silence as a yes then? Good. You have one hour to get here. If you are not here by then I kill your friend using a new toy of mine. I'd say it be painless, but I doubt being reduced to aether is anything but. See you soon."

A click was heard as he clearly smashed the linkpearl. Without hesitation I put on some clothing and ran from my room. Swiftly making my way down to Krohmans door, I smacked at it hard until he rushed to it and opened it up.

"Esper?"

He looked me up and down as I looked him up and down, to notice he was wearing next to nothing.

"No time now! Kali has been captured by Ilberd. I have to leave Now. He said come alone but I have a plan."

Krohman stood very still as I handed him a small pearl. Holding up my hand, I showed him a small glowing ring and smiled.

"Follow closely. No matter what happens, Save Kali."

I began to teleport before he could say anything to stop me.

"Antecedent wait!"

Disappearing before him, he looked down to the pearl and glanced back into his room.

"No time for fun love. Sorry."

Shtola was already behind him tapping his back with a mess of clothing. She herself had been getting dressed as well.

"Let us alert the rest of the Scions."

I arrived in Little Ala Mhigo and quickly summoned my wings, flying high into the air. Glaring out into the north west, I flew as fast as I could possibly force myself to. Swooping down into the middle of the Sepulchre, several ala mhigans stood alarmed as they bore their weapons against me.

"STAND ASIDE!"

"LIKE HELL!"

The attacked without hesitation, quickly swinging their blades towards me. Smacking a spear aside, I quickly jabbed a man with a sword in the neck and elbowed another behind me in the stomach, turning around and smashing his head with my palm. Before the rest could attack, I released a burst of flames, causing them to blast backwards. Swiftly I ran down into the tunnels and found my way to a sealed door leading to the mountains. Smashing my hand into the door, I burst it apart, running in as fast as possible.

A long cave like hall lead far into the mountains. Many guards posted around hesitated to attack as I made my way past them. Finally reaching the mountains underneath, I stopped and looked around. Man made steps lead up to the left and I quickly flew past them, landing down at the stairway. Just as I did, a familiar voice filled the area.

"Oh, look at that, record time! Now, lets see what ye be made of."

I heard several footsteps approaching as I made my way to the middle of an intersecting room within the mountains. Several ala mhigans resistance members surrounded each of the intersections. Armed with all sorts of weapons, they quickly attacked me. I burst flames again, only stopping a few this time. As one slashed my back, I growled in pain.

Glaring back at him, I smacked him, charged with lightning and zapped several people to the ground instantly. A fist weapon jabbed me in the side, followed by a shield smacking against my stomach. I did not have time to worry about the damage I took. Instead, I created ice fragments on my fists, smashing through a shield. Turning towards the pugilist, I backed up a bit as he went to kick me.

Grasping his leg, I quickly tossed him into a several of his friends, quickly following the attack with a lightning bolt to them all. As more began to attack me, I released a burst of wind aether which cut each of them deep enough to bleed and cower, coughing up blood. A Roegadyn female attempted to swing her axe down at me. Instead I created an allag blade, smacking it hard, which tossed it from her hands. She quickly attempted to punch me, missing as I grasped her head and bashed it into the wall.

"Not bad. Think you can find us now? Oh dear kitty, why don't you cry out for your friend? Oh sorry, I seem to have destroyed your voice... Well, good luck to-"

He stopped and I twitched my ears at his anger.

"I told you to come alone!"

"Huh? I am alone! Ilberd I surrender! Just let her go!"

"You brought the blue haired brat with you as well! Deals off, your friend is as good as dead."

"Blue haired.... Ryu?"

I could not think about it, I had to concentrate. By new toy I suspected he meant the eyes of Nidhogg. One blast from those directly to another living creature could kill them. Following the flow of aether, I found the highest amount nearing the corner of the mountain and without hesitation, burst through several rooms before I burst into the hidden wall. I looked in horror as a beam released from the eye in his hand, towards Kali whom was stripped down, chained to a wall.

Her eyes had shear horror in them as she awaited her death. Without thinking, I walked into the aetherial stream, stopping it from hitting her by less then a second.

"AAHH!!!!"

I screamed as the aether poured at me. Ilberd glared at me with anger as he stopped quickly.

"You dumb shite! Always standing in the way of me plans!"

I knelt down feeling smoke flowing off of my body. The burst of aether filled me and made me enrage as I grasped him by his throat before he could even see me. Smashing him through several walls before I smashed him into the ground. He struggled, holding the eye in his hand.

"Down....girl!"

Aiming the eye at me, he reversed the power and released another beam into my stomach. This time I felt my entire strength begin to fade. I released him from my grip, staggering backwards as I fell to my knees. He stood up, brushing some blood from his mouth off as he looked to his body with a smile.

"Ahhh... so this is what it is like to be a god? All this power..."

The eye had sapped me of my strength, and given it to the wielder. Ilberd in his Griffon attire walked up to me with a grin, grasping me by my throat and began to toss me around like a rag doll. Smashing me into walls and all over before tossing me back into the room where Kali was being held. She looked down at me, her ears folding back in worry. Quickly she glared to Ilberd, her eyes filled with tears practically begging him to stop.

Ilberd kicked me in the stomach, hard enough to make me cough out blood. As he kicked me again, I removed the ring and tossed it near Kali, hoping Ilberd failed to notice. Leaning down, he grasped me by the neck and squeezed. My body bled all over as all my abilities were completely sapped.

"Got ya now. I should be the one to end ya!"

"Stand aside Ilberd."

He glanced back to see a shrouded man behind him.

"I can end this now-"

"That's not the plan."

Angry, Ilberd tossed me at the feet of a mysterious man with a familiar voice.
