Malikah's Well. This dungeon didn't stick with me much, but it's still a decent one. I have zero recollection of the gimmicks and mobs until the last boss, which is a doozy and also one of my favorites for dungeon mechanics in ShB.
Mild sad that the music for this dungeon is just a reprisal of Amh Areng's theme Wait, no, it just started with a slow burn, it's actually a banger. Heavier drums and percussion coming in and out representing the mine portion, an eerie tone to the entire thing because we're underground, and Amh Areng's melody is still audible because this place is closely tied to the zone itself. It's nice and low-key after the emotional beats we just hit in the story, but not so low-key that you forget that you're in a dungeon.
I brought in Thancred and the twins again. Maybe I could have brought Ryne, but I'm the melee dps here, so she sits out for this one and every other. Maybe on the healer run next year :)
Boss 1 is a big angry armadillo. Alphinaud is confused and Thancred is Not Having It. Boss 2 is the "This is a bucket" TF2 meme (dear god!) in Talos form. Also, the banter from the twins is peak Sibling Energy.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And now, the Lightwarden... Storge's design feels very "biblically accurate angel" and sets us right up for what's coming in Mt. Gulg and Innocence. It's design-based foreshadowing!
Anyway, 4 down, one to go? Something like that. Hey wait, the light absorption looked painful.
Uh oh.

Bewitching Fate/New Self-Insert?
So as y'all know I've been hyperfixated mainly on FF14 and FFSOP as of late. Y'all also know that my royal s/i is my ff14 s/i because I want all my loves together~! (Canon be damned, my worlds now!)
BEWARE: Spoilers for FFSOP and FF14 (mainly Shadowbringers)
So some of you also know that at the end of SOP Jack and his friends become the bringers of darkness Chaos and the Fiends of Chaos in order to create new Warriors of Light for the land they inhabit. Well, in FF14, Guess what your character becomes?
Ding Ding Ding If you guessed a Warrior of Light, you get a cookie and kisses from your f/o (the kisses were gonna happen regardless, but yeah)
Well, the organization that Thancred and all my friends/family are in -- the scions -- work with the Warrior of Light to bring light to Eorzea! And any beings of darkness are considered an enemy...
Well, Jack still has his 'day job' as my s/i's royal guard! So when she ventures off and ends up staying in Eorzea longer than planned, you know he and our friends aren't too far behind. The only problem on top of the internal cruel twist of fate of me being a WoL is that people in Eorzea can see others' aetherial balance...
So let's just say the first meeting between factions was very... tense to put it lightly. If it wasn't for me so excited to see Jack, Jed, Ash, Neon, and Sophia, then vouching for them to the point I said "I'm a princess and the only one who can slay primals! If you wanna fight these guys, I hope you found someone else who won't become a mindless slave to the primals 'cause I'll quit. Not my land so it really shouldn't be my problem BUT IT IS!"
Needless to say, everyone lowered their weapons but kept their eyes peeled for any sort of slip-up from the other side. Especially Thancred when it came to Jack... If anyone asked, he said it was simply because he couldn't risk such darkness corrupting their strongest ally further... But who knows why he'd spy in on softer moments..?
--
Now fast forward to ShadowBringers where I and the scions find ourselves in a situation to save a world overrun with Light. This place is so off-balance that the light has turned many of its inhabitants into angelic-looking monsters known as sin eaters who only live to consume aether!
So now it's my job to slay the mightiest sin eaters known as Light Wardens in order to bring darkness back to the realm and restore balance.
The only problem is I'm the only one who can take in their light without transforming immediately myself. But even then we don't know how much light I can take...
Fast forward EVEN MORE to the death of the final Light Warden and me taking in their light. That was the straw that broke my frail form's back and instilled the beginning of a transformation.
My daughter Ryne (A girl originally known as another Minfilia since she was bestowed powers to prevent a total flood of light) was powerful enough to halt the corruption but not cleanse it and no way is currently known!
SO with that said what if Jack and our friends were also with the scions. Therefore when they see the transformation and how some of my allies will be so quick to turn against me should I show any signs, they decide to join me in the enduring battles since who better to bring back the darkness then those who embody it?
Also cue a moment where I make Jack promise to kill me if and when I lose myself, much to our mutual dismay
But with that said: a whole sin-eater AU has been in my mind so I even have a design at behest of my bestie @floweringforgetfulness for biblically accurate Becca (I still lose myself to giggles with that) I have a design (THANK YOU BESTIE!!!!!!)
Tumblr media
The only thing is that as a Light Warden/Sin Eater they usually go by names like "Innocence" "Tesleen the Forgiven" "Eros" "Philia" so I kinda wanna keep that name so I was thinking something along the line of Paitence since the others are like greek forms of love/virtues
So any ideas would be appreciated!!

👾👾
Two!
Okay, so the song that just came on is 'Only', by Imagine Dragons, and this song is for Kal'istae x Thancred.
Oh, pretty baby, you're my motivator Got me changing my words and my behavior Pretty lady, you're my operator Got me dialing your number just to hear ya Tell me the things that you want I give you all that I've got Open your eyes, then you will see It's just you and me
Like in my canon, Thancred in the modern AU is a player who has never had a serious relationship and avoids them like poison. Until, that is, until he has a parent conference with Ryne's tiny little slip of an Au Ra mentor. Suddenly, everything changes and he finds himself chasing her with a single-minded determination that batters against her determination to keep him at arm's length and beyond.
Trust Thancred to outstubborn Kal'istae.
Tumblr media
Next up it appears is 'Easy to Love' by Bryce Savage.
She's got a little crazy in her Sharp eyes with the mind of a sinner All those dark thoughts, yet still a beginner But you can tell that she's got a little demon in her 'Cause she could make a man obsessed She could make a man confess She could make a man cut checks 'Cause she looks better when she's undressed Just a couple secret sinners Yeah, she's just what he eats for dinner
Yep, you guessed it. More CipCir. Ciprys is a hellion in the body of an angel - tiny and pale and to everyone else, demure and innocent to the world at large. Cirdan knows better - intimately, and he inhales it and always craves more. She's his drug of choice, and he'll be addicted to her until the day they die.
Tumblr media
Send me a 👾 for a random song from one of my OC playlists and an explanation!
Thank you for the ask!

Pixies - Comic Script
Shadowbringers - lvl 72
Wolfram is high on Pixie mushrooms in Il Mheg. This is the best thing I've ever written.
Wolfram Saga Comics (Chronological)
This is the script for a future comic. Posting for those who don’t want to wait to get the story. Numbers indicate frame number. A/B mean a frame is split.
Part 1
Shot of Pixie area in Il Mheg. Narrator - "Wolfram, Thancred, Minfilia, and the twins have journeyed to I'll Mheg in search of Uriangier. Wolfram, feeling down about how he left things on the source, was all too eager to play with the pixies when they asked." The Scions stand around talking while Wolfram dances around in the background with pixies. 
Alisae takes Thancred aside - "So - we both know about him and Commander Aldynn right?" Wolfram doing cartwheels in the background.
Thancred shocked - "Oh, he told you as well?!"
Alisae annoyed - "Only because he was horribly drunk."
Thancred beams - "Aye, that's the way to loosen his tongue! So, why do you ask? Did something happen?" Wolfram holding onto a pixie trying to fly with them.
Alisae rolls her eyes - "From what I gather, Raubahn wants to be with him and for some reason he feels he can't even though he wants to.I don't understand all the dramatic nonsense. Just that our friend is hurting worse than I've ever seen him." Wolfram higher off the ground with the help of 2 pixies.
Thancred concerned - "Oh… he didn't tell me. I kept trying to help them get back together, but I suppose there was no point in my efforts if he himself is against it." 
Alisae /facepalm - "The world is in danger and you're upset your matchmaking attempts didn't work out? Gods, I'm surrounded by romantic fools. I wish we could give him time to grieve but we need to save this shard."
Thancred smiles sadly - "Can't he have a bit of fun? They did ask us to play after all." 
Alisae surprised - "Did you not see him stuffing his face with the mushrooms they gave him?!" Wolf falling back to earth.
Thancred surprised - "Oh! That's not good." 3 pixies hovering over Wolf, who is still on the ground. *stars*
Alisae smirks - "I have a feeling you've more experience with this kind of thing. Just… do something to snap him out of it."
Part 2
Thancred walks over to the stunned Wolfram, kneels down, and shoves a leaf in his mouth - "Here, this moss will counteract the pixie magic. You want to tell me why you agreed to play with them and were fool enough to eat their food?"
Wolfram beams and boops Thancred on the nose - "Nah! Did you know - you have a cute lil baby face?"
Thancred laughs - "I've been told as much by many women. Didn't expect it from you, though."
Wolfram smugly explains - "Well you do!"
Wolf makes a pouty face and points at Ryne - "But now you have another baby to care for… but you're making her sad."
Thancred surprised - "She's hardly a baby! And what do you know of it?! You've just met her."
Wolf smiles smugly and dramatically holds a hand to his heart - "Because I know how she feels, dummy! That Crystal's curse. She looks up to you like a daughter. But you're a meanie hurting her feelings."
Thancred annoyed - "What do you care?"
Wolf smiles sadly, looking at the ground - "because I'm a meanie too. I hurt the ones that love me. I hurt him."
Wolf /content, points at himself - "So, don't be me. Be nice And you go save the world and I'll just stay here and play with the pretty fairies, okay?"
Thancred scoffs as he hands Wolf more moss - "Man, you are a mess…and I can tell you're hurting. If I could leave you here to play in the flowers I would. Here, have some more."
Wolf excitedly eating moss - "Oooh sugar floss! Hey *nom* was the sky always this green?!" Thancred sits down next to him.
Close shot. Thancred smiles sadly - "So, how about this. I'll be nice if you will. I'll start being kinder to the Oracle and when we're home you get back together with the General. Your political concerns don't matter."
Wolf laying on the grass, making snow angels in the flowers and beaming - "He's a Commander now. I'm soooo proud of him! My gladiator is running our homeland!"
Thancred raises an eyebrow and smiles, looking down at him - "Yes yes, you know what I mean. So will you do it? Go be happy with "Your gladiator?" "
Wolf still making grass angels /biggrin  - "Sorry, can't do it! I'm a monster! You be nice to the girl though, okies?" Thancred - "What do you mean you're a monster?"
Wolf stops making grass angels ands winks at Thancred - "Can't tell you that! It's a secret! So - you two save this world. And then come back and we can all just play with the faeries! They're so beautiful! Maybe if we're good little playthings for them they'll give us wings too!"
Thancred surprised - "You don't want to return to the Source?!"
Wolf holds his hand in front of his face, staring at it like he's trying to figure out what it is. Smiles sadly - "I don't belong there. I belong with the fae. It hurts less here. Everything hurts less."
Thancred scoffs and throws over more moss - "Okay, time for more candy. Eat up." Thought - 'How long does this take to work?'
Wolf covering his stuffed mouth and literally says - "Nom nom nom nom nom!"
Thancred facepalm - "Godsdammit Wolf are you even swallowing it?!"
Wolf looking guilty with stuck out cheek - "Yeppers!"
Camera focus back on the twins and Ryne talking, Thancred straddling Wolf in the background. Wolf pushing back Thancred's hands. Wolf yelling - "NOOO! Yucky! You can't make me!"
The teens start turning to watch them. Thancred - "Damnit Wolf don't force me to draw my blade!" Wolf - "I've swallowed swords much bigger'n that!"
Teens watching, Alisae facepalm, Alphi embarrassed, Ryne confused.  Thancred - "WHAT?! Ah! So the Ul'dahn legends are true!" Wolf - "FOUGHT! I mean fought swords bi -"
Back to Wolf and Thancred. Thancred straddling Wolf. Pinning Wolf's hands above him with one arm and covering his mouth and nose with the other hand. Wolf's eyes wide. Thancred - "Whatever, just swallow the damned medicine!"
Back to teens. Ryne, uncomfortable - "So… You two are in charge, right?" Alphinaud facepalm - "Yes. Until we find Y'Shtola or Uriangier at least." Alisae explains smugly - "Those two are really just the muscle of the group, fear not you're in good hands!"
Thancred still straddling Wolf, raising arms in triumph. Wolf gagging - "So bitter." Thancred - "All right! Now let's find Uriangier!"

FFxivWrite '23 - 12
"Honestly it's appalling that I haven't taken us shopping in Eulmore yet. The fashion variety here is so much more interesting than at the Crystarium."
Ryne squeezed Gaia's hand tighter.
The emotion behind it wasn't lost on her. "Well, let's make some good memories here, shall we?"
Gaia's uncompromising confidence did wonders for Ryne's, for whom Eulmore was tied up in far more unpleasant memories. It wasn't long before she was back to her usual bubbly self, only concerned with that which a girl her age should be concerned about, and little more.
"Let's get you something flashy to wear for our next date," Gaia said, pulling Ryne toward the counter nearest the balcony. She eyed a dark number with ribbons galore before setting it aside for her own purchase. Much as she would love to have her try it out, it suited her own taste more than her girlfriend's.
"What's wrong with my usual outfit?"
"Well, nothing really. If it's what makes you comfortable." Gaia replied unconvincingly. "But maybe if we got you out of that dowdy old thing you might branch out a little more. How about something daring, like this?"
Gaia held up an angelic healer's dress that would highlight the contrast in their styles nicely.
Ryne made a noncommittal groan, but her disapproval was writ plain across her face.
"Trust me, once you have the style, the attitude will follow."

Get to know the Mun
What’s your phone wallpaper: My lockscreen wallpaper changes semi-frequently, but right now it's one of my favorite screenshots of my Quintus alt because I Just Think He's Neat. My actual wallpaper on there, though, is this pretty starry dusk sky to try and match with my Sailor Moon phone case.
Last song you listened to: Foo Fighters - Saint Cecilia, which I am ... currently listening to again, for the fifty-billionth time today.
Currently reading: I haven't sat down to read a book in forever; my attention span won't let me. But I am currently reading a gathering and crafting melding guide? So we'll just smile and nod and pretend that counts.
Last movie: A WWII movie called "Come And See". If you're into that sort of thing, I do recommend it.
Craving: Absolutely nothing. 8D
What are you wearing right now: Uh... khakis? In all seriousness, I'm wearing jeans and a purple slightly-bell-sleeved top.
How tall are you?: 5'7"!
Piercings / tattoos ?: Just my ears pierced.
Last thing you ate?: I may have just finished eating a little chocolate pie before I started answering this.
Favorite color(s): It's a toss-up between silver and blue, or gold and red. But I also really like pink and purple, especially softer shades.
Current obsession: FFXIV, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs even though the game is old as fuck by this point, uh. That's kind of all I can think of at the moment, besides history -- primarily late 19th century/American Civil War up 'til the end of the second World War.
Any pets?: Six cats and one dog.
Do you have a crush right now?: Not really.
Favorite fictional character: Hmm. That's hard. I'll limit it to FFXIV characters, for the sake of not making a miles-long list.
In no particular order: Ameliance and Fourchenault Leveilleur, Aymerc de Borel, Raubahn Aldynn, Quintus van Cinna, Menenius sas Lanatus, Jullus pyr Norbanus, Minfilia Warde, Venat, Hythlodaeus, Hermes and Meteion, Dulia Chai and Chai-Nuzz, Kai-Shirr, Anogg and Konogg, Lucia goe Junius, Yotsuyu goe Brutus, Fordola rem Lupus, Misija Votyasch, like half of the fucking IVth Imperial Legion, Marsak and Basaljen of the Bozjan Resistance. Ryne and Gaia, Loghrif herself and Mitron too, Magnus gets thrown in there for breaking my heart, uh. Lahabrea, Themis, Erichthonios, Agdistis of course. Igeyorhm, Nabriales, Emet-Selch. The Warriors of Light from the First. I'm probably forgetting some, ngl.
... Actually, I lied about limiting it to FFXIV characters. Speaking of Magnus -- Magnus from MapleStory, as well as Von Leon from the same game. (Roleplaying as Von Leon is actually where my name "Vonny" stems from!) Oh and Oswald Mandus.
Last place you traveled: My sister and I went to this dog school about half an hour away to see about enrolling the puppup there because of her anxiety, and to help train her to be a service dog for my sister and dad.
tagged by: @surpassing-limits
tagging: @valiinus , @angelic-din-mortem , @ancalagxn , @keyward , @peachbelli , and everyone else who wants to do it! Steal it, gogogogogo!

Time After Time prompt for Leather and Lace :) I wanna know how that date went!
Oh, that's fun! I had a good time writing this. Nothing but fluff :D
They don’t get to the date for a few weeks. First Pike has a wedding he has to make arrangements for—with Valliant on vacation—and then Ryne gets sicker than a dog and Thancred doesn’t want to leave her with a babysitter. After that, it’s Mother’s Day, and then the shop does their Flash Week, and it builds and builds until it’s been a month since Thancred asked Pike out, and he feels like an ass.
It’s not like they haven’t seen each other—on Valliant’s vacation, Pike was working nights, which meant Thancred could come see him and occasionally bring him a coffee. Plus, Thancred’s reduced his workload as an artist to handle more shop admin, after hiring a new artist (Alisaie is a little spitfire), and slyly mentioned to Pike that he was welcome to keep Thancred company while he’s doing paperwork. Thancred doesn’t get much done when Pike does come over. He finds he doesn’t mind.
(The time Pike decided to lift up his shirt and pull down his pants to show off the little bird tattooed on his hip lives rent-free in Thancred’s mind.)
But finally, finally, they get to the date. Thancred picks Pike up at 7 on the dot (no small feat for a single father, even when his daughter practically shoved him out the door with no jacket and shoes).
“I thought about bringing flowers,” Thancred says, as they walk to his car. “But I’d have to buy them from you or the grocery store, and I doubt that would be a nice gift. I’ll buy your first drink instead.”
Pike laughs, and Thancred thinks oh. Because he’s practically sparkling in the starlight, the purple of his eyes somehow brighter with it. He’s gorgeous when he smiles. And his laugh. Thancred wants to taste it, wants to kiss the sound out of his mouth and hold it against his soul forever.
“You alright?” Pike asks, tilting his head, and the way his curls fall softly over his shoulder do funny things to Thancred’s heart. “You’re staring.”
Thancred jolts. “Well, with a view like this…” He winks, and Pike laughs again.
They get dinner. They talk about…everything. Sometimes Thancred swears he’s losing track of his thought, and Pike will finish it effortlessly. They mesh well on everything important, and the few things they disagree on Thancred looks forward to teasing and debating over for weeks to come. They get so deep into debating the meaning of a song that their server has to clear her throat several times just to get them to pay.
They agree to split it (“I’ll pay, Pike, since I asked you out—” “Technically, your daughter asked me out for you, and I doubt her allowance could cover this.”), and then there’s a moment of hesitation, like they both don’t know what to do.
“Do you want to walk down to the lake?” Pike asks. “If you don’t need to get back to Ryne, that is.”
“She’s in good hands,” Thancred says, relieved. He didn’t want this to be over. 
The breeze off the lakefront is cool, and Pike tucks himself into Thancred with a shiver. “I should know to bring a jacket with this blouse,” he says, plucking at his shirt, “but it ruins the silhouette.”
Thancred slides his arm around Pike’s shoulders, grateful for the excuse to get closer. “It does look great on you. Though it’d look better—”
“If the next words out of your mouth are ‘on my floor,’ I’m walking home,” Pike threatens, and Thancred snorts. “I’ve heard that line far too many times to appreciate it.”
“Sorry, sorry,” Thancred replies. “I couldn’t resist.”
“I’m sure.” Pike elbows him.
Thancred turns to face him, and the way the moon reflects off the water makes Pike look angelic. Otherworldly. He’s beautiful, and Thancred has known this, but he’s struck with it like a hammer. “Pike, can I—”
Pike reaches up and guides Thancred into a kiss.
It’s perfect. It shouldn’t be, but it is. Thancred’s hands span Pike’s waist and grip, and Pike’s hand on his face curves around to cup his neck, pulling Thancred deeper into the kiss. They move in sync, like two old lovers, and Thancred never wants the moment to end.
When they do pull away, Thancred leans his forehead against Pike’s. “Wow,” he says, and Pike giggles a little. “That was—wow.”
“So eloquent,” Pike jokes. His hand is still around Thancred’s neck, and he’s a bit flushed. “But I agree. Wow.”
Thancred kisses him again. And again, and again, until Pike shivers himself out of the last one. Thancred huffs a laugh at the put out expression on Pike’s face. “We should head back to the car. I’d rather not have my boyfriend be a popsicle.”
Pike blinks at him. “Boyfriend?”
“Ah,” Thancred stammers. “I mean—you don’t have to, I know we said we’d take things slow, but—”
“I’d like to be your boyfriend,” Pike says, and relief floods through Thancred’s system. “I still want to go slow. But I like you, Thancred. A lot.”
“Well, that’s good,” Thancred replies. “Because I like you a lot, too. Gods, I feel like a middle schooler.”
“Me too.” Pike shivers again. “Okay, car.”
Thancred drops him off at midnight. He doesn’t go in—not today. There’s time enough for that later. And he has someone to report how things went at home (he knows better than to assume Ryne hasn’t cajoled her babysitter into letting her stay up). But he does get another kiss goodbye. He can’t really complain.

FFXIV Write 2022 #9 - Yawn
Spoilers for EW - takes place after Tepid, story number 8 for this year, which in turn takes place after 6.0′s ending and before Pandaemonium or the patches.
As Cereza had predicted, getting Gaia out of her room had been exceedingly difficult.  Even with the benefit of food and coffee, the teen was yawning.and barely staying awake, and Ryne wasn’t much better.  Even with the Zun’s help, an amaro ride didn’t seem safe; luckily, a visit to Eulmore had earned her the mayor’s permission to borrow one of the airships, at the cost of the promise to join them for lunch when the errands were over.  
Cereza elected not to ride in the ship itself as it sailed from the Crystarium.  It had space enough, but she thought it safer to patrol the skies; errant Sin Eaters yet flew the skies, and she didn’t want a repeat of the crash landing during the star shower.  Instead, she entrusted the girls to Bec Lug, and the service of a few adventurers she had called in.  Cerigg and Lue-Reeq were on watch with bows, and Traynor was prepared to defend the ship with magics should the need arise.  Giott and Granson sailed as well, but their natures left them more useful on the ground to watch their backs when they landed.  
For her part, Cereza sailed alongside the airship from her manacutter, trying not to think too much about how odd it was that she could call it here.  The culprit for that trick stood on the dashboard of the vehicle, watching the clouds soar.  They’d had their “talking to” with Cereza, and now content with the level of chastisement, had elected to watch the sky as Cereza kept a gaze around them.  
Her eyes drifted back to the airship, and she smiled as she noticed the decorations and trim - work she’d done to help a friend and the city.  A touch of her own handiwork in the ship.  
The skies were fortunately free of threats, and they landed in Nabaath Araeng without issue.  Cereza leapt out of the ‘cutter and went over to the airship, Feo Ul in tow.  Ryne stumbled out, and Cereza helped support her as she got on her feet and walked to the spot where they’d last seen Minfilia.  
Feo Ul flitted around.  “Mmmm… yes yes yes!  I see the touches of her power here.. They match the gift in Ryne - a lovely name by the way - and a bit of something in your own aura, my sapling. Actually a lot of something in you - the aura and that strange seal in your soul….”  
Cereza smiled.  “Her gift.  The Blessing of Light.  The Traveler’s Ward.”  
“Well, whatever it is, it looks like the energies here.”  The red pixie flitted around, leaving sparks for the two to mark the concentrations.  Ryne held her crystal in her hand, tightly, and went to the first puddle of energy.  As she approached, her own aether resonated, and a cloud of energy seemed to glow at the heart of it.  Cereza watched as the energies flowed into Ryne, and felt them align with her own.  As the first resonance completed, Ryne seemed to be a bit more energetic.The process repeated five times, until at last Ryne stood still.  And then, for a brief moment, an outline like an angel seemed to surround her before fading.  She turned to Cereza, and both could feel the change it had wrought.  Even as the full trance faded, Ryne was more vibrant than before.  “It’s done… I’m not sure what I’ll use the extra power for… but I think I’m whole again.”  
Cereza smiled.  “Good.  Then let’s help Gaia, and be done with this.”  
-
The airship landed at the docks in Kholusia, and the team rowed out to the drop point.  Ryne’s energies were obvious, as she helped Gaia down to the shelf under the Tempest.  “The Skimmer won’t be big enough for everyone I’m afraid,” Ryne observed.  
Cereza nodded.  “Luckily, I have an additional option.”  Through her connection to the source, she reached through and drew forth a long brown and black vessel, with massive jets underneath.  “The Lunar Whale.  It’s ability to sail between the star and the moon above is yet untested, but it’s big enough for everyone.”  But only barely… hence why the airship made more sense for the longer flight.”  She nodded at the glowing city in the distance.  “But that’s a short enough ways for this to suffice.”  
The group clambered in, and Cereza’s word proved true.  The vehicle had no true windows, just “monitors,” and no space to boot.  Fortunately, with the speed of the jets propelling them, the journey to Amaurot’s edge went quickly enough.  They disembarked at the elevator going down, but all save the girls and Cereza were in awe at the sight for a long while before they could even move.  Cereza warned them, but there was no real preparing for it.  
Cereza pulled out some glamour prisms, and channeled their images around the team.  “Just to blend in.  And please don’t be offended if they call you children.”  The hunters’ typical garb was replaced by black robes and simple white masks, and Cereza donned the same kind of robe and mask before leading them down to the city.  
A single figure stood waiting at the elevator as it reached the bottom.  The giant shade looked down, and spoke simply, “Hello, my old new friend,” he said in his strange language.  “Ah… but you are not here to catch up, I see.  Logrif’s vessel is hurting?”  
Cereza had to compose herself, the pain of Elpis still raw, but she pushed through.  “I apologize, Hythlodaeus,” she said.  “This is an urgent matter indeed.  But when I am able, I’ll come to join you for that tea.”  
The chief of the bureau of the architect nodded to all of those things, and Cereza explained what they were doing there.  “Ah,’ he said.  “I see… the place you sought would work best for this, yes.  His energies should be strong enough there.”  
-
The illusion in the capitol chamber had long been cleared of fiends, but the fires of the Final Days yet burned in that place.  Luckily, through the weavings within, Cereza was able to guide them to their destination - the point above the star where the Convocation faced the final Blasphemy and, in the distant past, summoned their god.  
Gaia seemed to stir as they reached that place.  Her Ancient memories were never recovered, unlike the other Ascians, but she seemed to remember THIS all the same.  As with Ryne, she took the green crystal and drew upon the wisdom within, and sought the points that provided the strongest energies of Zodiark.  
When she finished, her skin, though still pale, seemed more alive.  Hythlodaeus, who had accompanied them within, nodded.  “That is well.  The damage is repaired.”  
Gaia looked at everyone, and then locked eyes with Ryne, before Ryne jumped at her and embraced her.  Gaia was taken aback by this, but didn’t stop it, and just resigned herself to the embrace.  
-
The others went back to the surface, but Cereza turned around and returned to Amaurot.  She strode the illusion of the ancient world in the garb she had acquired in the past, her hood and mask up to blend in and pay homage to the old ways, and found her way to the meeting place where a single shade awaited her, in the privacy of a small cloister. Though small, she sat in the seat, and removed her hood and mask for her old new friend.  
“That gesture,” he said. “Typically it is a sign of close friendship.”  He wasn’t chastising her, but simply informing her.  
But Cereza smiled. “I know.  And… well.. There’s something you need to know.  I did this intentionally, Hythlodaeus… we’ve met in a way you won’t know because… when he made you, he didn’t remember.”  
The shade’s face was covered, but Cereza could see the surprise.  She could feel the shade’s gaze as well, studying the robe, and the recognition of his own work in it.  “I… see.  Please… tell me this tale, I would know what you have been up to.”  
Cereza nodded, and told her other story.  A trip back in time.  A fateful encounter with Hades and Hythlodaeus as they were back then; the reinforcement of her in the past, his creation of garb, and all else that transpired in their brief friendship - and the memory lost to time, due to the casting of a dangerous magic.  
Hythlodaeus considered her words without judgment, simply listening and taking them in, until her tale finished at the end of the universe, where they gave one final gift to her.  As she ended his part in it, he considered; then the shade reached his hands to his hood and mask, and removed them both.  His visage was perfectly recreated - Cereza had a feeling no other shade here would be that perfect, if they even held such an image under the mask - and Hythlodaeus smiled at her.  
“Your tale is… hard to believe.  But yet you haven’t a reason to lie.  And it lines up with the recollections I DO have, thanks to Hades.  And the robe is proof enough for me.”  He sighed then.  “Still… it’s amazing what you’ve uncovered.  What we never could in our time, and more.”  
Cereza smiled.  “You did so much as well.  I know you’re not him… but you’re all that’s left of him now.  And… one thing I learned was that just because you’re born of creation magic doesn’t mean you can’t be a person.  So… I came here.  Hades is gone now… but you’re here, and I’m here too.  Well… I’m most of Azem, anyways.”  
Hythlodaeus smield, and nodded.  ‘But don’t call yourself that here, please, not with me. Not out of anger or belief it should be a sacred name.  But rather… because that wasn’t your name back then.  You don’t remember, I’m sure.  But you were our friend long before Venat stepped down and elevated you to that seat.  We called you by many names in our time - Hades’ always being more creative - but there was a name we knew you by above all else.”  
Cereza nodded, and waited, as Hythlodaeus formed the word.  “You’re not Azem to me… you’re Apollo.”

"Ryne! Get your head out of the clouds and pay attention!" The head chief shouted. His eyes burning holes in my body.
"I'm listening." I said boredly.
"Raven Ferriera is notorious and hotheaded. It's your job to link him to this girl." The head chief explained and took out a picture of Raven and the girl I'm suppose to link him with. The guy named Raven possesed dark eyes and an aristocratic nose, has defined lips and an angled jaw. He doesn't look like a troublemaker but he is one. And the picture beside him was a girl with long black hair framing her small face. Big brown eyes and looks too sweet for the boy.
"Chief are you sure that we're not making a mistake?" I swear I could already feel that they're not compatible.
"We don't make mistakes." He says firmly and waves me off expecting me to do the job.
The thing is with cupids they're not angels with wings. They're definetely not babies that floats and hover in the air. A cupid is like a human only that they posses the power to connect people.
With only one rule to comply and that is to not miss.
If one does miss he or she will be thrown to the human world and can never go back. They will live along with the humans until their last dying breath without the power they were born with.
I walked to the secret garden. And a tunnel of flowers and bushes greeted me. I went through it because it serves as a portal to the human world. When I got out of the tunnel I looked around and inhaled the human world air. I took out two small daggers in my pocket. One for the Raven boy and one for the girl. The daggers look quite dangerous aside from the fact that they are colored blood red and looks sharp as hell the person that I'm suppose to connect needs to be embbeded with this.
It won't kill them or to be precise it can't kill them. Cupids doesn't use archery to get the job done. Seriously the movies are so overated it disgusts me. We have to find the two people we have to connect and unless we do so we can't go back.
Filthy humans don't deserve love. This job should just vanish because they can't even learn to find it themselves.
First the boy.
"Now, where do you live?" I took out Raven Ferriera's picture and waved my hand over it. The route to where he is appeared at the back of the photo. Where he is now is far from where I am.
"This is just great!" I angrily say.
I followed the route that's suppose to lead me to him but the dot keeps on moving it means he's also moving, quite far away from me.
"This human is pissing me off. Stay in one place! For fuck's sake." Whenever I see that I'm almost close he moves to another place and it irritates me. It just makes my job harder and I still have to find the girl.
But then the dot suddenly stopped moving and it made me smile. Yes! I'm close. I returned his picture back to my small bag and took out the small dagger.
Why did he stop in an alley?
Ahh who cares.
And the end of the alley I saw a figure lying on the cold dirty ground and looked like he was ran over with a truck. He looks badly beaten up. Poor creature must be in pain and to think that fellow humans would do this to their own kind. Rotten creatures.
"Since I pity you I'll do this job quickly." I whisper. I'll find the girl quickly then they can be in love and maybe she'll help with the pain. I formed a small circle with the use of my index finger and thumb. I used it as a scope and took a peek of Raven's heart. Red a sign of happiness and love while black means that the person is defiled and corrupted. To my surprise I couldn't see the color of his heart.
Ah poor thing. Not happy and not angry.
The thing that we can't see. Pain.
I walked to him slowly and took out the dagger. I held it tightly and took a good look at him. "I pray for your happiness lowly human. May your heart find it's happiness." I tried to stab him with the dagger but to my surprise he was awake?! He grabbed my wrist and he looked angry. Livid.
For the first time I saw eyes that held so much hatred that I was caught off guard. A strong punch into my gut made me cough because of the pain.
"How could you." I weekly say because I could feel my consciousness leaving me. How dare he hurt the cupid that was about to bring him the love of his life!
"Who sent you? They have guts to think that a girl could do the job." He scoffed and stare at me while I lie on the ground.
"Filthy rotten human." I spat out. That's the last thing I remember before my mission was jeopordized by Raven Ferriera.
