reap what you sow

Summary: Emet-Selch and Warrior of Light are having a conversation about the Reapers in Rak'tika woods, which inspires WoL to devise a very reckless plan should she fail to contain the light

Word count: 1169

TW: my WoL is not doing very well and this fiction has mentions of suicide and themes of death

***

“If you’re mayhaps done with being possessed by the beloved denizens of the 13th, dear Hero…”

A merry voice cuts through the Rak’tika woods even before Tuana feels the avatar’s presence leave– that cold, jittery cavity death could never satisfy. But it helps. Shrouding herself in the darkness from the blazing sun that radiates within her… helps. Even if it leaves her wanting to tear her skin apart afterward.

Maybe it’ll be easier to get used to– if she fails.

Her dalliances with the dark are not for him to comment, alas when did he care? That is the man he is, walking through the threads of reality, offering scathing remarks and half-truths and nothing more. Her grip on the scythe doesn’t waver.

She will not allow him to rile her up.

“Upset that I stole a few tricks from your book?” she shoots back to the woods. “Your kind is awfully fond of the voidgates.”

She cannot see him, not yet, but she can feel his presence. The way his amusement permeates through the aether.

“Hardly, though I didn’t think you had it in you. Using the poor tortured souls of the damned for your own ends? Tsk tsk tsk…‘Haven’t your mother scolded you yet?

For a moment Tuana’s mind lapses back to months ago—her mother. Brown eyes alight with displeasure– to see the scythe on her back.

The subtle chiding. The hypocrite.

But Emet-Selch does not refer to that mother.

“We usually have more important matters to speak about, limited though those conversations are.” She shrugs. “Besides, she chose me as her Champion. Not the other way around.”

“That she did.” finally, he steps out of the shadows, though for a second Tuana wishes he never did so. Face solemn with emotions she cannot name but one shines through. Hatred. Realigning his face to his usual derisive smile takes him a moment. “Humor me, Hero. Why?”

She gives him a quizzical look. “You have to be more specific.”

“There are a myriad of fighting styles you’ve dabbled in over the course of your short life. Why would you, the cherished Champion of Eorzea go for an abandoned orthodox practice of the enemy?”

“Your question answers itself.” He is studying her intently. As much as she wishes to do otherwise, she sets the scythe aside and settles herself on a big rock. “I was going against your dear Great-grandson.” His grimace turns hers into a grin. His family. Nothing but tools to be discarded. One part of her pities Zenos. Would he call Solus a coward if he were to know his true nature? Would his nature turn out any different if it were not for generations of neglect? “Besides, Reapers were meant to keep the Garlean rulers on the line. Seemed fitting.”

“Well, I must congratulate you on that endeavor, then. You’ve clearly succeeded.”

Ah. The barb. The knowledge of his brethren puppeteering that corpse. She ignores the phantom pain of her torso where Elibidus stroke.

Hadn't Estinien arrived…

“It helps me succeed against the sin eaters.” She changes tracks. “What better way to fight them than to unleash the darkness upon them?”

Emet-Selch strides closer, unwavering. “Aren't you worried your ‘avatar’ won't overwhelm you, with all the aether you grant them to feast upon?”

Ever charging to pluck out the thoughts she doesn’t want to dwell on. And he knows where to hit. Why does he know where to hit?

“Tell me, do you know how they deal with the victims of light corruption?” She asks after a pause. The moss on the rock is cold as she absently plucks them up. “When their time is up, they put poison in their favorite food. Or drink. So that they would pass to the aetherial sea peacefully. I would like to think someone would be kind enough to offer me a last plate of grapes.” He chuckles as if he caught an inside joke. “Or better, a cup of wine. Though I concede it’s a bit…”

Emet Selch sits right beside her. “Cliche? Boring?”

“Aye. Or that would’ve been my wish had I luxury to die. To fail.”

The weight of his scrutiny falls on her once again. A sigh from her side. She doesn’t look.

“So, is this truly what you desire, hero? To die?”

“What I wanted stopped mattering a long time ago, Ascian. But… No. Not yet.” She shrugs. Death is no stranger to her. “I won’t overlook the possibility, though.”

“Ah yes.” he drawls. There it is again, sharp gaze refuting the thin smile. “Wonders of mortality.”

“You’re hard to kill. Not impossible to kill.” she snaps. Is it possible that in his old age, he had forgotten about Lahabrea?

“To answer your question, I don't think Avatar is able to possess me with all the predominant light residing within me. You may even say it helps.”

“Such orthodox methods you have, hero. Try hard enough and you might even impress me.”

Something stirs inside her soul and it has nothing to do with the raging light. Dust of familiarity at the banter. Falling into her being like gentle snow. And just as quickly it melts before she sees the flakes.

The realization chills her bones more than the void.

“I have every intention to do so,” she says and for some inexplicable reason, she means it. Her smile fades. This unquenchable need in her to not disappoint him…Yet, when she tries to follow the trail…

Not for the first time the questions burn in her throat. Not for the first time she holds her tongue. What would she have asked anyway? Her soul rages on but her mind finds nothing to grasp.

So she asks an altogether different question.

“Emet-Selch?”

“Hm?”

“What do you intend to do with the Thirteenth?”

This seems to draw his attention. His squinted eyes have nothing to do with the excess of light. “Now my dear Hero, why would you ask that?”

“There is no way you could’ve forced a rejoining with its state.”

“You do not need to exhaust your pretty head for that, now.” he makes a dismissive gesture. “What– two worlds’ problems aren’t enough, you concern yourself for yet another?

Oh, he had no idea.

An idea. It began to spill in her mind like the ink on paper.

Light ink to the dark paper. A world filled with primordial light. Enough to shift the balance for the Void. The smile returns to her face. Maybe even her failure would serve a purpose. And it would not be their accursed god’s resurrection.

“You have something on your mind, hero. What is it?” he chimes in with an annoyed voice. Careful. She needs to be careful. It goes without saying that if the Ascian gets a grasp of her plans… No. Not when she still has the possibility to fail.

“It’s nothing important.” she pats his back, smiling, ignoring the way his body freezes for a moment. “I shall tell you. When this is all over.”

i really liked your thoughts posts as you went through the game! what are your thoughts on 6.1?

Oh! Yeah, I guess I could do more thoughts posts as the patches come out, huh?

I haven't played pvp before, but Crystalline Conflict almost makes me want to try it! It looks fun!

Adventurer plates are FANTASTIC. They're so fun and cute and my favorites are the cursed ones.

Do you know how many SKIRTS and DRESSES Ambrose can wear now??? So many! All of them! It's so great, I love it!

Aglaia was SO much fun, and I'm actually pretty good at it! I still haven't gotten the top I want, so I need to go some more, but my FC has been doing unreal trial and maps and I keep forgetting to ask someone to run with me! I'm really excited to see what the next part of it is going to be!

MSQ thoughts after the cut!

I really liked MSQ, getting to set out on a new exciting adventure and everything! The new outfit is good and the dungeon is really fun. I like the final boss and the beyblade mechanic.

I love when we're reminded that Y'shtola is like the youngest Scion, aside from G'raha (he's only one of the youngest on a technicality). Her familiar summon was adorable and I liked that we could tease her about it.

Speaking of teasing Y'shtola, I really liked the interactions in general you got to have with your companions. There were several times you could choose to tease them and it really made it feel like you're actually friends with them.

God, I can't believe I ever hated Estinien lmao he's such a good character, and absolutely dumb as shit. Real himbo hours right there, goddamn. But also incredibly observant and smart where it matters, which I expect nothing less from an ex-azure dragoon.

G'RAHA MY BELOVED. The way he tried so HARD to abstain from going with you, to not show how interested he was in adventure, was SO CUTE. I adore him with all my heart. The fact he thought he was hallucinating seeing you at first also very cute and endearing lmao.

Dragons nonbinary confirmed, fuck yeah.

I like Vrtra and I'm excited to see where the plot goes vis a vis his sister in the Void.

Speaking of the Void, what the FUCK is that dude with the hands over his eyes? I recognize him, I think? Isn't that Zenos's reaper avatar??? Is Zenos somehow back AGAIN? I'm going to physically fight someone if he is let him be DEAD leave him at the edge of the universe that was a GOOD ENDING to his story.

Reaper definition

REAPER DEFINITION PATCH

We have a look at the Island Sanctuary gameplay, a preview of the new gear for Patch 6.2, and details on new graphical features coming in the patch. We have more coverage of today’s Live Letter right here on The Linkshell. What do you think? Is this femWoL’s time to shine? Making this new character an iteration of Comet could be a fun throwback and deep cut for long-time fans. And given that the Warrior of Light and Ardbert can look vastly different, it’s likely that one iteration is female. The latter render is referred to by some players as “Comet”.Ĭertainly, the existence of Ardbert points to there being a version of Azem in each Shard. Both the Predator and the Reaper have been used in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan and have been purchased by allies of the United States. There were two high-quality CG busts for the male and female Midlander released as promo art for Final Fantasy XIV by Square Enix in 2015, but only the male iteration made it into the opening cinematic. Other articles where MQ-9 Reaper is discussed: unmanned aerial vehicle: derivative of the Predator, the MQ-9 Reaper, has improved performance and carries a larger ordnance load. The male iteration is actually an extension of character art from Final Fantasy XI and if you look to the left in this promotional art, you’ll see the female version. What are the drawbacks It is an investment of high costs. The rice reaper harvester has a capacity of 0.4ha/h. 1913, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Poison Belt 1: Even as we looked some rumour seemed to have spread, for we saw the reapers hurrying from the fields. The machine is light and flexible and be easily manipulated under wet and dry conditions. reaper ( plural reapers ) One who reaps a person employed to harvest crops from the fields by reaping. The grain quality is therefore preserved. Who is Comet? Well, there was also briefly a default female Hyur Warrior of Light. With the reaper harvester, rice grains can be harvested faster and on time. On Twitter, some are speculating that the new Reaper is a version of “Comet,” and therefore the Thirteenth’s version of Azem. Ardbert is based on the “default” Hyur Warrior of Light shown in the opening cinematics for each expansion, known colloquially as “Meteor”. The player’s Warrior of Light is the facet of Azem tied to the Source, while Ardbert of the Warriors of Darkness was the counterpart from The First. What’s interesting is some players are wondering if this new character is another shard Azem, a member of the Convocation of Fourteen. We don’t yet know if she’ll be a friend or foe, but she is shown walking toward Zenos’ voidsent briefly. “This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to write but it’s with a heavy & shattered heart to say that my beloved Steve died suddenly & unexpectedly on Monday 15th August.Against the backdrop of the shattered Thirteenth, there also appeared a mysterious female Reaper. We we always love you xxx”.Īs well his wife Millie shared the following: Unfortunately, our dad passed away today and leaves a massive hole in the world and our hearts. But as dad was so well known the news is starting to reach out earlier than we would have liked. “We can’t begin to put into words the current feelings. A Reaper is essentially 'billions of organic minds, uploaded and conjoined within immortal machine bodies.' In terms of physical design, Reapers bear superficial resemblance to a cuttlefish or squid, with a bulky semi-cylindrical body, a tapering plate over the rear and five tentacle-like 'legs' or arms extending from its front end, in addition to six jointed legs extending from its body. I will miss you more than words will ever say, love you bro xx”. Each time this card inflict damage to your opponents LP, you can remove from play 1 card from your hand. It is with great sadness and a very heavy heart that I have to tell you all as many of you know him my very talented brother Steve Grimmett very sadly passed away today, my heart goes out to Millie his wife my Mum and Dad, Russell , Sami and Ethan . When this card remove from play by your opponents card effect, special summon it and you look at your opponents hand cards and remove from play all trap cards in his/her hand. “I don’t really know where to start so I guess I will just come right out with it. His passing was announced by his brother, Mark Grimmett, who wrote on social media the following: Grim Reaper’s Steve Grimmett has passed away.
