The Knight and His Queen

Continued from here. @orderedxswordman

The information Steiner chose to share with her came as a surprise to the Queen. Becoming a Knight was not his first choice? He once thought of becoming a mage or scholar? It made Garnet realize just how little she knew of him, of his past, despite always wanting to know more about the people in her life. He meant a lot to the Queen - he was family, one of her best friends, someone she could trust, rely on and confide in no matter what it was. He always protected her and never gave her any reason to distrust him. Not to mention completely loyal, never once turning against her nor leaving her side. 

So to hear this information was both a welcome surprise and sad - welcome because she was learning more about him, but sad because it seemed as though this life were forced upon him. Was he unhappy, she wondered? If he had the opportunity to seek another path in life, would he take it? 

Garnet didn’t want him to feel trapped here. She wanted him happy, she wanted him to live the life he wanted to live, even if that meant elsewhere.

“I had no idea.” She finally responds after a few moments, her eyes on the drink in her hands, non-alcoholic of course. “Do you ever feel... regret?” She asks him, her eyes lifting to look at him again. “Or wish that you were no longer a Knight?”

Had quite the ending to this playthrough. I accidentally had Vivi cast Doomsday, but thankfully Zidane’s Dyne attack ended the fight. I would’ve cried xD but ahhh the ending!! It always makes me heart so full. Zidane’s surprise appearance, all for Dagger, and Dagger so excited to see him that she RUNS. Steiner and Beatrix opening the door for her is SO HUGE.

Just got to this scene in my replay. My heart.

2. A game that has influenced you creatively? Writing, drawing, etc.

There’s quite a few! Final Fantasy for sure given the characters I currently write as and used to write. VIII, IX, X. As well as Kingdom Hearts, ESPECIALLY Chain of Memories because of Replica Riku. He became my favorite and I write as him in here for some time. Gave him his own background and future where he survived, chose a name for himself and was free to do as he wished, but what he wanted was to protect Namine and be in her life. I miss writing as him.

Also The Last Of Us! One of my all time favorite video games and Tales of the Abyss, too! I LOVED writing as Luke and I really need them to bring that game to the PS Store ughhh.

FFIX Zidane x Garnet 🧡

[bemysclf]

"Welcome back, Your Majesty."

Her voice has the Queen smiling, having missed her during her time away. Though, it wasn't that long, but any time spent away from home had her missing Alexandria. There was also the worry of something happening during her absence, but those worries were not as great as they used to be, especially with Beatrix taking charge of things while the Queen was gone. If there was anyone capable of running her Kingdom, it was the General.

"Happy to be back!" Garnet greets verbally in return before following it with a hug, lightly squeezing the General in her arms before she pulls back, her eyes bright. "I'm eager to show you what I've learned, including some things I never really intended to learn." The Queen chuckles, shaking her head. "Both Uncle Cid and Doctor Tot taught me all about Tetra Master, but they became very competitive with each other, it was a little scary." Another laugh follows her words. What with the both of them loving the card game that was especially popular in Treno. They were both confident in their card playing skills and were equally eager to teach Garnet, though eventually it lead to a tournament of their own.

"How was everything here? And you?"

I’d love to come up with new verses/plots. Including an InuYasha verse since it’s my favorite anime, but it’s a matter of what kind of verse. A crossover where she somehow lands herself in their universe OR an actual Inu verse where she perhaps is a priestess, or one in training. 

I’d also like to continue ideas/headcanons from before my break. Garnet learning black magic and learning to use weaponry, specifically daggers, so she can rely on more than just her magic, as well as the potential plot of rouge Eidolons. That’s a plot I really built on in my head, but never got to bring it to life. 

If you are interested in plotting, please feel free! My activity may dip during the week because of work and will be sporadic, so I apologize in advanced if I disappear for some days at a time. But feel free to come chat about the game(s) or anything in general!

“Is this your first visit to Alexandria?”

The Wounded General

Continued from here. @rcsetorn​

Wounded.

Dagger remained silent as the two guards spoke among themselves, one commenting on the Alexandrian General having been slightly injured during the fight on the outskirts of the city. The monsters on the outside have been more daring than usual, even coming close to the castle gates and attempting to trespass through, but none succeeded thus far thanks to the soldiers always keeping alert and the ready.

Still, it was worrying as to why this was even happening.  Though always violent and dangerous, they'd always kept away from the city gates. Was there something or someone out there luring them to the city? Perhaps motivating them to invade and attack? It was a cause for investigation, even more so with today's events where a group of violent monsters decided to break through the guarded gates and terrorize the civilians. The soldiers and Queen were quick to help, with the Queen providing immediate medical aid and shelter to those that needed it.

However, she seemed late to find out that Beatrix was one of those injured, though minor, but she still would've preferred knowing before this moment. Though, it wasn't surprising that Beatrix would keep something like this to herself, in part not to worry the Queen and the other part? Well, she could be stubborn, that General. But truly one of the strongest people Dagger knew. Mind, body and soul.

Her mind made up, she made her way to Beatrix's chambers after grabbing some dinner from the kitchen. After a couple of knocks, she stepped inside with permission, the tray in her hands.

She offered the General a smile and shook her head. "It's no trouble at all and it isn't as though I made this myself." That much was obvious. She wasn't a cook. Far from it, though she tried to learn a thing or two while on her adventures and in the kitchen.

She set the tray on the table near the window before turning back to her, head tilting slightly. "How are your hands?" She questions, having observed the way Beatrix kept them out of sight, but the Queen was able to catch on.

Sliding an arm around her shoulders he whispers, "Happy New Year." before planting a small kiss upon her lips.

His words and kiss on her lips elicited a giggle from the Queen, giving him a cheerful smile in return as she kissed him back, arms wrapping around his neck. “Happy New Year, Zidane.” In which she hoped would actually be filled with happiness. After all they had been through, their friends included, they all deserved happiness. They deserved peace. And hopefully, that’s exactly what this New Year would bring them.

And what better way than to start it than with Zidane?

Low Activity - Write with me?

Hey there. So, I know I’ve only been coming on every once in a while and it’s basically the same thing - I apologize, I post a little, I disappear. It’s been hard keeping muse and motivation to write with so much going on and this job I’m working. The job isn’t bad - not at all - I LOVE it so I have a lot of focus on that and spending time with family and my muse wavers with other characters, but I’ve barely been able to write as them, as well.

So really, this blog is very low activity. Which means I’ll come on when I have muse - which could be every other week, maybe more, maybe less - and I wanted to ask if my current followers and those I’ve written in the past with would be alright with that? If you’d still be willing to write with me, plot with me, etc, even if I’m not here very often. Because I miss Dagger, I miss writing with everyone - I spent so much time and thought on her that it pains me to just leave it all behind like I have been.

I get random bursts of muse, but then I get nervous to come on because it feels like I just abandoned her and everyone else and I worry people have lost interest in me/her. I want to tag quite a few of you, but I don’t want to be a bother with this or cause unnecessary notification, so if you see this post, please let me know? <3 Thank you!

Even without statement of prior experience, Dagger’s familiarity was more than evident in her handling of the ship alone. There was no hint of a change of pilot, no doubt leaving the rest of the crew unaware a swap had even occurred. Taylor himself needed do no more than observe, finding no need to provide any aid to their current pilot.

“Go ahead,” came his answer, something lighter tinting his normally bland tone.

She looked happy.

[bemysclf]

“Thank you!” Dagger beamed, keeping her eyes in front of her as she directed the ship towards their destination. This time, hopefully, there’d be no battle or chase. At the moment, at least, there wasn’t so she could enjoy the journey there without having to worry about anything. The sights, the sounds - she took it all in, “I can see the Gate now.” The Queen informed her friend, wishing they weren’t as close as they were simply because she wanted to spend more time in the air, but they’d have another chance to do so. Lindblum wasn’t their only stop.

“I wish it were possible to do this more often.” She murmured, more to herself, but loud enough for Tay to hear. To be honest, there were moments where Dagger just wanted to hop in an airship and fly it wherever - the feeling of being so high, able to see everything below? It was incredible. Exhilarating.
