FFXIV Write 2023 Day 11: Once Bitten, Twice Shy

“We’re almost to the test site Mikoto’s marked,” Dark Autumn said, checking the map.

Iyna peeked around the corner of the ruins, scanning for hostiles. “Good. It’s too damn quiet out here, it’s making my ears twitch.”

“They do that anyway,” C’oretta pointed out.

“You know what I mean.”

“Quiet,” Dark admonished, taking point, bow in hand. The trio crept across the wartorn fields of the Bozjan southern front. Dark wondered once again what it might have looked like before the disaster and more recent rebellions, her forestborn sensibilities mourning for the land and its creatures as much as for the people. This was one of those times she was glad to not be able to hear the elements of the world and how they must feel in places like this.

They reached the location the archon had indicated, C’oretta deploying the device and checking back with Lilja and Mikoto via linkpearl, the trio’s excited scientific babble far too much for Dark to follow. That was an unexpected trio of overly intelligent energy that left her and Iyna, not to mention the Bozjan leadership, utterly exhausted, but they certainly got their results.

It could be worse, she supposed. They could add Aeryn to the mix. But the Warrior of Light was off trying to rescue the Scions from whatever was happening, and Twelve only knew when she’d return.

“OK we’re good to go,” C’oretta said. “They’re getting the readings now and should have some data for us when we get back.”

“If you say so,” Dark said. “Let’s…where’s Iyna?”

C’oretta’s ears went flat and her tail stiffened as she looked around. The viera was nowhere in sight. “She can’t have gone far but I don’t know why she would have wandered off that isn’t like her.”

They exchanged a look, the betrayal still fresh in their minds. It was hard to believe that of Iyna, given her time in Lente’s Tears, but they honestly knew so little of her—and like Misija she had been raised by Garleans.

Dark caught Iyna’s track and they crept along, though they didn’t have to go far. Around another ruined building corner only a few yalms away, Iyna stood very still, staring at something they couldn’t see.

“Iyna?” Dark kept her voice very quiet.

“Go back,” Iyna replied in a nearly voiceless whisper. “I saw movement coming our way, went to check, realized too late what it was, and now I am just waiting for it to get bored. Or at least realize I’m not a threat as I think this ruin might unfortunately be its nest.”

C’oretta frowned, took out a mirror, and held it out to where she could see around the corner and past Iyna. The little miqo’te paled. “Oh we should do what she says very carefully quietly and quickly let’s go Dark,” she whispered.

Dark began backing up, keeping an eye out in case whatever it was came around the building the other way, or had friends. Or for anything else that was out there.

C’oretta’s mirror must have caught the light when she pulled it away, as there came from around the wall a too familiar slow, throaty warning wark.

“Fuck,” Iyna said. “Run!”

C’oretta used her Scholarly skills to speed them along to outrun the red chocobo’s meteor strikes.

Dark would take this mad dash from an angry avian over going through that particular heartbreak again.

OH! Update on the Sart duel! He finally dropped his notes from the Skirmish... So I don't have to do the duel, but after I get Lyon's notes from CLL, I'm going to go back and kick Sartauvoir's ass for putting me through that.

But yeah, I'm really happy. Only Lyon's notes left.

"ah, the newfound hero of the bozjan resistance... you really think you can take on the reaper of the IVth imperial legion?"

#gposes #oc: teni drake #okay i figured out some lore for him #he left sharlayan to join the bozjan resistance #he works as a spy for them and managed to infiltrate the ivth legion #so he's basically a double agent #he is 15 years older than vej and was his big brother figure growing up #when he left sharlayan he did not tell anyone where he was going and it devastated little kid vej #so you know. when vej arrives on the southern front and runs into teni who is apparently working with the garleans #yeah he doesn't take it well

“But if I had died, it would have fixed itself?” Thancred breathes a sigh of relief. For a moment, he’d been worried.

“Why,” says the Warrior of Light, very slowly and deliberately, “are you saying that like it’s a good thing?”

---

Thancred's gotten too used to risking his own life, and it's finally caught up with him in the worst possible place: behind enemy lines in Zadnor. There's a reckoning coming, and he has only himself to blame.

I got the Sartauvoir duel to 33% this time! Prog!!!! I'd kept dying to the damned backdraft. I think if I go get some more DPS honors and take Aetherweaver instead of Templar I might be able to kill it before the second Phenex.

wip -- no strings attached

"Why didn't you stay?" Riven asked. "If you loved him so much...you could have tried? You never knew, maybe it would have worked out?" Astrid hummed at the question.

"I didn't stay because I didn't feel safe." She answered. "I did not feel safe in Garlemald--as it was back then, as a fellow inhabitant of this star. Its' society was toxic, and encouraged people's self-destruction." Riven tilted her head, and Astrid continued.

"The victim mentality Solus encouraged was at every level. Scorn for those lower than you was encouraged. And...gods forbid if you were an outsider like myself. I only had some measure of status because I was a ambassador and held the key to keep their aetheryte teleportation system working. Otherwise I was ranked at the same level of the poor, and even then I could be snubbed, because I wasn't of pure-blood. And this was just on the civilian side of things. From what I heard, the military was worse, with very few exceptions." Astrid inhaled, leaning back against her seat.

"Gaius being one of those...but even then." Riven murmured.

"The business with Werlyt? I thought you had no part of it."

"We helped out some." Riven explained. "In fact, Werlyt was when Lord Hien sent for us regarding the Bozjan resistance. We would have gone back, but things on the Southern Front got...complicated."

"The business with Misija Votyasch and Save the Queen?" Astrid chuckled as Riven narrowed her eyes. "Archon Mikoto's reports were very detailed. But getting off that tangent..." The older woman glanced off to the side, a somber look appearing on her face.

"Just...existing was an emotional drain. I was questioned. Derided. Mocked. For my host, his family and the nobles of the area, I was the newest amusing plaything. And when I would remind them of my status and my worth, they did not take it well. If I wasn't the Sharlayan ambassador, if I wasn't the aetherical engineer--something very bad would have probably happened to me. Gaius...or rather Marcus nan Tiberius, was my one single refuge point of sanity. And even then." Astrid paused. She looked down at her hands.

"He made me burn. He lit up places inside my soul that nobody else since...could. There were rough edges, but everyone has them. We could do the work, I thought. But to stay up there? To live in that frozen nightmare? To embrace that cesspool of blind superiority and shameless selfishness as an aspect of my life?" She whispered.

"I couldn't do it."

Prompt #27 - Sole

Character: Eir The Bozjan Southern Front, 4, Seventh Astral Era

Steel sets in his gaze, only taking a moment to pull on the special issue boots he had been gifted as per his duty. Comfortable and sturdy, the combat boots had been tightly laced, keeping the thick dirt and cold out, and warmth within. Already, they were worn.

Not many held his rank. Not for any particular prestige; there were scores better at fighting than he was, others far better at giving orders. He had no talent with aether, for harm or healing. Even when offered a firearm, the cold and unforgiving metal had proved too cumbersome for his task.

Eir had never been much of a fighter, no. So when the role of Tesserarius was gifted to him, it was far more a blessing than his superiors had ever known. He never need lay a finger on anyone unless there was absolutely no other way, and often he was fast enough that such altercations were often avoided.

Message memorised, it's whispered wordlessly between dry, downturned lips as his jog rips into a sprint as he crests the overlook, lungs filling until they burned from the stench of flames and gunfire.

He had always been fast. Always. Faster than the bullets that harried him, the spellweavers that caught him in their sights for all but a moment. Faster than those who would swing for him to intercept his message, and thus the orders and intel given from one commander to another.

It is those long, horrifying moments between places that seem like cycles until he arrives, a bullethole to tend somewhere in his coat, and the lick of cinders somewhere on his heels. He drags up what composure he has in the pit of his throat, wide silver eyes pinned open with terror as he recites the message all but seared into his mind, replaced with another.

It's only a few more moments then, before his feet drag him back into the fray... And onwards, to his next destination.
