Lost in Time

Unsung Prompts: First in, last out

Time turns everything into a dream.

You know where you come from, but little by little, the memories of that place start to fade. You no longer remember the tone with which the machines used to hum, and though you could say which structure stood where if you visited the ruins of your old “home”, you couldn’t tell their exact size, shape or colour. The details are slowly getting lost. Insignificant, someone might call them, but our perception of the world is nothing but built on those insignificant details: layered together, like strokes from an artist’s brush, they form our reality. A world without clear details is not a reality; it’s a dream.

You are starting to forget her, too: your first master. Did she have a beauty mark on her left or right cheek? How many servants did her household have? What was the reason why she sent you on that skirmish – the one that both saved and doomed you, in a way?

The memories are turning into a jumble of bits and pieces, with a few emotions mixed in between. Red cloth. The scent of vanilla, amusement. Familiar faces on both sides of the battlefield.

At least you remember him vividly: your second master. His laugh, expressive body language, the glint in his amber eyes when something made a dent in the mask of a carefree, amiable adventurer. You remember him – but a part of you wants to add “for now”.

When you think about it, you feel an odd ache in your chest region, though you cannot quite tell why.

It is not fear: you don’t know any fear. Melancholy, perhaps. Longing. Or just… isolation. It’s difficult to say. Feelings are strange things.

You can feel it even when not lost in the past, thinking about things that once were. You notice a grey hair in the innkeeper’s head that wasn’t there a few moons ago. You listen to the guests enjoying tea outside while you guard the premises and hear them talk about children growing up, whether theirs or someone else’s. You witness new chocobo chicks being born and plants growing and withering.

You see the passage of time, in other words.

Yet you don’t change, or at least you don’t feel like you do. The headaches come and go, but you continue doing your duties diligently and to your utmost best. There is no physical change, unless mending clothes and cutting overgrown hair counts. Someone tries to guess how old you are or when your name day is, and you just blink at them or shrug. The real answer would be too complicated – or vague.

But quietly, you wonder: will the same visage still greet you in the mirror after another cycle or two, or a decade? Will you see the inn passed down to the next generation and stay, like a fixture, or will you leave to find another master or purpose?

Will you still be here when everyone you know now has been buried – and see how with their memories, you start to lose a little bit of yourself, too?

The toll of time can be heavy, particularly for someone who has stood by and watched the world go – voluntarily, or involuntarily.

#IC story #Merces #I've decided to finally start posting my writing prompts in Tumblr #partly to keep this blog active and partly to just share the stuff more openly #Unsung Prompts #I'm still unsure whether to post my old things or not but I might at least share a few favourites #but anyhow have a sad for starters I guess :')

send ⌛for a sleep headcanon

Merces is usually a light sleeper. Whether it's something he has learned while serving as a bodyguard or just a natural tendency, unusual sounds, someone stirring in the same room or just a vague feeling of something strange happening can wake him up. Thankfully, he is also quick at waking up, which means that he can jump into combat pretty much straight from his bed.

Despite these tendencies, it seems very rare for Merces to look tired. Maybe he is both quick to fall asleep and to wake up, or maybe his unique "background" reduces the amount of rest he needs.

#muse icon headcanons #Merces #thanks for the ask!#sorry for taking so long with this too #this answer came to me quite quickly once I decided on a character #I feel like Merces could be described as 'almost a normal a person'#but that 'almost' is important #it's amusing and jarring and a bit sad at the same time
