Day 137: Part 2

Public
Part 2:


So, with the right animal FINALLY picked, the temple was open for exploration. Was I curious? What do YOU think sisters? Of course I WASEN'T! I could see from the entrance that the place was old, dirty, and full of God knows what? I told the fried kitty that she was free to explore to her hearts content but NOOOOOOOO, I had to go WITH her! I TRIED bitching at her about it, but this damn cat is a stubborn bitch so eventually I had to relent and go in.

Yeah, it was everything I expected and MORE. Sisters, there were traps EVERYWHERE in this place! Why, I don't KNOW, there was NOTHING in there! Well nothing except monsters, rubble, old crap, and weird animal statues. Also, it did NOT help that someone kept setting them off! And NO, it was NOT me!

Minnie: "Annabel, do you REALLY think your sisters are going to believe that? Hell, I DON'T believe it!"
Anna: "What, do you think I am THAT clumsy?"
Minnie: "YES! I mean look at those pumps you wear, seriously, pumps in a DUNGEON? You probably trip all the time!"
MDP: "That's what I told her! Of course the Girl scoffed and thought she knew better."
Anna: "WOW, you TOO Minnie? Look, I'm SORRY if I want to look good for my adventuring."
MDP: "And you should see the cost of her 'looking good'."
Minnie: (just shakes head) "I....I...I REALLY need to talk to Hydaelyn about her."

Grrrrr, lousy fashion critic spirits.......Oh, sorry. Um, oh yes, stupid temple.....

Eventually we came to this locked door that required a key of some sort. My Cat taskmaster eventually figured out what it was and sent her slave, ie: ME, off to find it. After hours of searching I eventually did, setting off EVERY trap in the place, (BOY those things are noisy!), and made it back in one piece with the item in question.
Door open, we proceed and soon find the entrance to this Revel where the lightwarden is supposed to be.

BUT, of course the First saw my success and decided to say, "Ha Ha dumb Blonde, you thought it was THAT easy?" Yep, the Eulmore Army finally decided to makes it's move and sent troops into the temple after us led by that ANNOYING general. Some bunny Girls with us tried to delay them while we went deeper in.

Well THAT didn't work so well. The General made short work of them and even got past the door with one of his men, which we tried to close on him. Kitty and me were soon trapped inside the place with a big hole nearby which was very deep.

Lucky for us, (or unlucky, depending on how you look at it), the Eulmore lieutenant, stepped on a trap, (which for some reason I AMAZINGLY missed!), causing the whole ceiling to come crashing down, trapping us even MORE! I am telling you Sisters, this REALLY sucked!

Minnie: "Hmmmmm, I DON'T believe you Annabel, I am sure you were the one who did it."
Anna: "TWELVE, I can't believe it! MINNIE I am NOT always THAT much of a ditz!"
Minnie: "Yes you are Annabel, this sounds sooo much like you, how could I believe otherwise?"
MDP: "Minfilia does have a point Girl, I would bet money on it was you."
Anna: "And I am TELLING you, I did NOT do it this time, REALLY! If you DON'T believe me Minnie, go ask Y'shtola, she'll tell you!"
Minnie: "Well Annabel, that is a LITTLE hard to do considering that I'm, you know, DEAD!"
Anna: "What, you can't show yourself to her?"
Minnie: "No, I don't want to show myself to the others. They need to think I am gone for good."
Anna: (gives Minnie a foul look) "Fine, BE that way ghost, you just don't want to be proven WRONG!"
Minnie: "If that day ever comes Annabel, the world will truly end."
Anna: "Phhhhht!"


Trapped in there, the Eulmore Lt. tried to bargain with us to help them escape. He was willing to give us the antidote to the poison the EVILLLL dark worshipers were using on the people. The general was having none of it though and threw his lackey into the pit along with the bottle. Seeing the bottle falling, Cat Girl did something rather unexpected and ACTUALLY threw HERSELF into the pit, catching the bottle and throwing it to me thus saving it. She then dropped from sight into the blackness.

Sisters, I was......stunned... Y'shtola being ......selfless? It was so unlike her. I mean I did not really like her, but I hate seeing ANY of my companions die. A string of conflicting emotions welled up in me, but I had no time to act out on them, for the General was STILL there and wanted me dead.


Minnie: "Annabel, why do you think Y'shtola would not do that, she is an utterly selfless woman willing to do the right thing when needed."
Anna: "Minnie, can we NOT go there now? Look, I know she's better than I write here, let's just leave it at that, plus you KNOW she's not REALLY dead."
Minnie: "......."

But before he could do anything to me, Thancred broke though the rubble barrier and took on the General one on one, surprising him. Stunned, the old man lost his footing and fell into the pit himself and disappeared from view. Free at last, I told the others what had happened to Miss Kitty and the sacrifice she had made. Runar was extremely upset about the whole thing, it was obvious he had a thing for her. (some people just have NO taste in women!)

At this moment, Emet decided to once more make another appearance, being 'caught' by the bunny girls. When learning about kitty's death, he made the offer that he could find her essence, like we did before when she died saving me back in Ul'Dah. Everyone of course did NOT believe this, that he could really do it. But seeing we had no other real options, we agreed to let him help us.

True to his word, Emet used his special powers to locate Y'shtola and being back her soul to the living, reviving her. I will tell you sisters, I was amazed he had THAT much power, to effortlessly being someone back to life. I think we truly underestimate these Asicans sometimes with what they can really do.


Minnie: "I can't believe you relied on him to bring her back:"
Anna: "Eh, end results and all that, at least I did not have to do a TON of quests to bring her back!"
Minnie: "ANNABEL! I would expect you TO DO a ton of quests to bring ANY one of your companions back!"
Anna: "And THIS is why I am glad you are NOT in charge anymore Minnie"

With Kitty back and everyone overjoyed, we soon made preparations to go into the Revel and face the Lightwarden. Sighing with regret that I had no one ELSE that could take my place on this, I washed, dressed, and slipped on my best pumps to go face the dungeon.

Minnie: "REALLY Annabel?"
MDP: "BEST ones? Girl, you ruin those, you are NOT buying another pair."
Anna: "We'll see about THAT Dragon!"
MDP: "........" "Yes, we WILL."

So, this Revel.........Sisters, this place was AWFUL, just AWFUL! There were traps EVERYWHERE, AGAIN, which ALMOST killed me time and TIME again! The creatures were also EXTRA mean to me, I swear every ONE of them were salivating when they saw me! Little by little I made my way though ALL those traps till I made to to the waterfall and the Lightwarden of this place. It was a huge misshapen beast, KIND of looked like a lion, kinda didn't. What it was was big, annoying, and a real PAIN to kill! But eventually I did it and like the others, it fell, sending it's light into me which I absorbed. As soon as I did, the power inside me triggered and parted the Light, revealing the dark sky above.

That done, killing the creature revealed that the place he resided in was some sort of chamber filled with ancient pictures of a retelling of some sort. Emet appeared and look positively thrilled when seeing them. When asked to translate, he gladly did and told us a unbelievable story.......which I am sorry to say I cannot go into here. What he said could possibly change the whole way I think about why this is happening to me and our world and....well, I don't want to say anymore....... I'm SORRY Alea, but this is something you CAN'T know........I kind of wish I didn't.....

Minnie: "Annabel....."
Anna: "Minfilia, don't. I don't want to talk about it, I don't know if I would believe what you said to me anyway."
Minnie: "......"

So, with another realm free, everyone celebrated the return of the sky. The dark lovers were THRILLED that it was, well......dark. I wonder if this means the end of their religion since there is no Light anymore to shun and complain about. Oh well, NOT something I have to worry about!

The Denizens of the forest wanted us to celebrate with them but 'stick in the mud' Cat Girl said we couldn't and we still had a lot of work to do to free the First. I of course Bitched Royally about this. Here I nearly DIED from ALL those traps and I can't EVEN have some FUN afterwards? UGH, so TYPICAL! We soon made our farewells and went back to the Crystarium to report to the Exarch, me griping all the way and probably making the others wish that they DID leave me behind to celebrate with the others.

And so ends another NOT so thrilling chapter in the life of your beloved sister. I REALLY hope that the next area I go to does NOT have....

A. A swamp
B. Bugs
C. A trap filled temple that I am FORCED to go INTO!
D. Nature in general because I am SICK of it!

Seriously, I would NOT wish that stuff on ANYONE, and that INCLUDES my so called 'friend.' See, I am SUCH a thoughtful friend!

Your ALWAYS thoughtful sister, (except when I..um....forget);

Annabel



Minnie: "Annabel, you are full of........"
Anna: "what?"
Minnie: "You would SO leave me in a trap filled temple in the middle of a bug infested swamp and you KNOW it!"
Anna: "Truuuuuue, but I HAVE to make it look good for my sisters."
Minnie: "UGH, WHY did I come BACK, WHY?"

Yes, I was right! Annabel did not tell her sisters the truth of Hydaelyn and Zodiark. I have no doubt that will be the subject of an entry to Dee.

Well, I do not think it is so strange that Runar has the hots for Shtola. After all, they are both cats (don't hit me please), lol.

By the way, I wonder if you noticed this dialogue near the start of the Raktika zone: when Y'shtola warns that absorbing the aether of Lightwardens might be harmful. That will definitely become important!

I did not expect Minnie's spirit to literally return. Without spoiling anything, let's just say it is going to make the remainder of the story extremely intriguing. I look forward to seeing how you will eventually resolve her part of the narrative.

Also without spoiling anything (since there is only one swamp in Norvrandt), I can safely tell Annabel that the next zone does not have "A". Instead, there is something far, far worse! Bwahaha!

Yes, the journal entry is already written, it had to still be edited which I will probably do tonight and it will be VERY spoiler heavy! There is a BIG warning in it.

I DO need to talk about that absorbing, but I don't know where to do it yet.

I wanted to bring Minnie back. She won't be used too much, but she IS there if I want her in the story/letter.

UGH, I HOPE not, I will be starting the next section soon when I have time to play it.
