[RP] A Realm Reborn - New Friends, New Foes

Public
I...

Faced Ifrit. The Lord of the Inferno.

And I lived. We felled the creature.

It escalated very quickly. While investigating, I was captured alongside a detachment of Immortal Flames and offered to the primal for tempering. The Echo protected me: Minfilia had told me of this, but I was still surprised when Ifrit's blue flames licked my skin without leaving a mark on my flesh - or my mind.



The battle over, I was equally surprised to find a bright orange crystal on the ground where the primal had stood. It is identical in every way except color to the one I found at Lifemend Stump, which means it is another crystal of light. I now "have" two in total, but I have no idea in what manner I actually possess them, since they both disappeared after bestowing a vision upon me. All I know is that Hydaelyn said I would need them to banish darkness and save the world. Which is... vague, at best.

So, I lived... but the Flames had to be put to death. Once tempered, an individual will feverishly attempt to summon their god anew, and I am now very well aware that this peril simply cannot be suffered.

I keep trying to find words to express both the terror and resolve I felt during that battle, but I think there are none. Some things can only be felt.

But enough grim recollection! I have plenty of good tidings to put in writing as well.

Following Ifrit's defeat, I went back to the Waking Sands to discover that news of the primal's demise had already circled the world (how?) and earned me invitations to each of the Grand Companies.

On Minfilia's suggestion, I attended the Calamity remembrance ceremonies of the three Eorzean nations to get to know them better. At each of those events, I ran into a pair of peculiar Elezen twins - Alphinaud and Alisaie, youths appearing to possess political knowledge well beyond their years. Well, Alphinaud does, at least. Alisaie is... not a talker.

They both seemed real familiar too. Now that I think of it, there were two young white-haired elezen on the carriage I rode to Gridania. It couldn't have been them, couldn't it?

Anyway, I already knew which Company I would join - the Twin Adder - so I presented myself at the Nest in Gridania. I was sent on a mission before I could even swear my oath, rescuing two airship engineers whose ship had been shot down by Garleans. Biggs and Wedge form a rather endearing pair, even if Biggs did initially mistake me for a Garlean spy.

This incident resolved, I was able to formally enlist and became a Serpent Private. Woods' will be done!

This is where it gets really good: the Serpents entrusted me with my very own chocobo to ease my travels. I would be lying if I said I hadn't dreamed of this since I was a child. My horsebird is a lovely Belah'dian jennet which I named Isel, after a featherbrained beloved cousin of mine.

Lastly, since I was in Gridania, I put out a petition to hire a retainer to sell some items I have crafted. A mere hour later (again: how?), I received an irate letter from my miner friend Painted Mesa, saying he was disappointed that I didn't offer him the position first, considering how lengthily he had told me about wanting to leave Amajina & Sons.

Mesa must handle his liquor much better than I do, because I actually have no recollection of that or anything else we last talked about... Nonetheless, the man doth have the skills, so I was happy to offer him the job.

That is all for now. I am going to take Isel out for a run. Hopefully the wind will blow the smell of ash out of my robes...

I'm actually involved in some other stuff. I hope the dignitaries are not too grumpy with me making them wait for days on end. Do you think if I keep making them wait they will have the ceremonies without me there? *desperately hoping*

Aw, I'm so sorry but I do think they will wait for you! The ceremonies started right when I arrived, each time, no matter how long it took me to get there. I don't know by what sorcery...

That being said, I know formalities can be boring but if Alphinaud and Alisaie are still around, they are definitely worth meeting!
