THOSE WE CAN YET SAVE ❄

"But even now, I cannot let go of my dream — my dream of a tomorrow where no child need freeze alone in the snow. Fill this vessel with your light! Still the hatred within our hearts and grant us eternal grace!" ❅ an indie Ysayle from Sqaure Enix's Final Fantasy xiv as penned by sea.

I’m archived! I decided to go ahead and go dash only, possibly icon-less for a while until I get back on my feet again. If you would like to follow me, you can find the new blog here. It’s newly made, so please excuse the clutter!

      ❝ My  lord  doth  claim  himself  eikon  tamer,  does  he  not? ❞ Icy  voice  reverberated  with  the  weight  of  old  prayers  cast  to  fake  gods;  a  visage  seldom  donned  ‘less  desperation  called  for  powers  surpassed  only  by  the  might  of  the  warrior  of  light.  They  were  the  twisted  shades  of  the  Dragonsong War  ---  the  remnants  forged  from  eye  and  ice  ;  echo  and  remnant.  But  if  it  t’was  one  thing  Ysayle  thought  her  duty  above  all  else,  it  was  to  bring  to  bare  the  tormentor  of  her  people  and  the  mortal  who  dare  assume  his  face.   ❝ I  think  you’ll  find  this  goddess  a  harder  quarry. ❞

      The  cracking  sound  of  forging  ice  emanated  from  her  fingers,  drawing  forth  a  jagged  sword  of  translucent  cold.  Even  the  grass  once  threatened  to  burn  froze  beneath  her  blade;  moisture  solidified  and  cracking  the  delicate  skin.  Shiva’s  lips  twisted  into  a  smile  as  she  held  it  aloft,  her  voice  calm  despite  her  dare.

Smack that like button and I’ll do my best to get some starters to people! They’ll probably be small to start — I gotta get Ysayle talking in my head again. ♥ They’ll be done once I’m done with my replies on @gilneans.

        Was  it  wrong  to  expect  darkness  in  death?  Suspended  in  the  silence  wrought  by  her  own  demise,  Ysayle  wholly  believed  that  there  was  naught  more  than  endless  rest  awaiting  her  ---  the  peace  brought  upon  by  the  knowledge  that  her  actions  would  wield  the  hands  of  fate  to  aid  her  friends  and  the  Warrior  of  Light.  For  all  she  had  done,  this  was  the  only  action  she  felt  she  could  take.  The  greatest  price  she  could  pay  for her  sins.

        So  who  would  be  so  bold  as  to  impede  upon  her  goals?  Though  the  man’s  light  cast  a  glow  among  the  black  (  or  she  assumed  he  was  a  man  ---  clothed  in  the  same  garb  of  those  demons,  save  the  contrasting  hue,  the  fact  he  was  ascian  had  not  escaped  her  )  she  couldn’t  say  that  such  was  welcome,  and  it  was  enough  to  raise  a pale  hand  towards  her  face  to  shield  it  from  her  eyes.  ❝ T’would  be  I  thought  myself  hopeful  ---    ❞  she  remarked  darkly,  ❝ Who  are  you? ❞

⨳ — SOFT ANGST;

send one for my muse's reaction!

“The only true love is unrequited love.”  “Will I see you again?” “Someone, I tell you, in another time will remember us.”  “I never could lie to you.“  “Promise me you’ll come back.”  “Am I just a joke to you, [name]?”  “This is what you do, love. Stride across the centuries, and death follows, churning in your wake.”  “You’re making it personal. That doesn’t help.“  “It was almost like a dream. ‘Oh. I’m not waking up. Why aren’t I waking up?’ I thought. That feeling never ended. It still hasn’t ended.” “I don’t want to hear your suggestions for my personal life.”  “Hold me, at least once, before we say goodbye.”  “I want to hug you once more, as soft as I can.”  “For whose sake… am I living now?”  “Come back alive.” “Thank you… In the end, that’s all I had to say.” “I love you… In the end, that’s all I had to say.” “For survival, I buried my dreams.” “Perhaps you’re right. Neither of us is who we used to be.”  “Don’t go where I can’t follow.” “I aim to be lionhearted, but my hands still shake and my voice isn’t quite loud enough.” “Let me in! Tell me what you’re thinking!“  “I just want to save you.”  “We are not the same, and never will be.” “Stop pretending this doesn’t terrify you.” “Of course it meant something.” “Do you remember?” “I can’t help but love you, even though I try not to.”  “I can’t pretend it’s not the end.”  “I said I’d have courage, but I don’t. Not anymore.”  “You’re a good liar.” “You jump, I jump. Remember?” “There’s nothing I’d deny you, if you would not deny me.” “Don’t do it. Don’t love me.”

         Spring  bloom  of  doman  cherry  blossom  sent  a  wave  of  pink  from  the  heavens;  one  that  drifted  lazily  ‘pon  traveller  and  townsfolk,  though  it  was  the  first  who  thought  to  pause.  With  hand  extended  a  flower  fell  betwixt  her  fingers,  earning  a  smile  both  curious  and  bemused,  and  careful  touch  dare  not  bruise  its  pastel  complexion.  Such  did  not  feel  dissimilar  to  the  dandelion  pollen  that  filled  Moghome,  though  she  had  yet   to  see  any  of  her  denizens  flutter  between  the  trees,  but  the  warm  temperature  and  lilt  of  eastern  music  did  much  to  ease  her  spirits.  It  was  nothing  like  Ishgard,  but  it  didn’t  feel  alien.

          ❝ To  think  this  was  a  ruin  only  a  few  moons  prior, ❞ Ysayle  remarked,  carefully discarding  the  bloom  out  of  harms  way  where  similar  had  been  trampled  in  festivities and  daily  goings.  Even  now,  for  something  so  small,  she  wished  no  further  suffering  as  a  result  of  her  actions.  ❝ T’was  only  a  few  days  ago  you  spoke  of  lanterns,  if  I  recall? ❞

        The  roaring  glow  of  fire  had  long  since  settled  into  coals  ---  its  tepid  heat  allowing   the  chill  of  Ishgard  to  leech  into  the  masonry  and  chase  those  smarter  to  their  beds. Awake  at  such  an  hour,  so  oft  Ysayle  was  when  sleep  remained  unattainable,  the  sight  of  one  foolish  as  to  resist  prompted  a  knowing  smile  and  silent  retrieval  of  a  woollen  blanket  draped  loosely  around  the  boy’s  shoulders. Her voice was motherly, but boarded no command. T’was merely advisory.

        ❝ You  should  rest  Master  Alphinaud. ❞ She’d  do  well  to  heed  her  own advice.  But  they  were  not  dissimilar  ---  two  creatures  haunted  by  their  failings;  desperate  to  change  that  which  they  thought  they  could  have  a  hand.  Even  now,  she  found  his  resolve  inspiring.  But  she’d  not  wish  him  a  chill  for  it.  ❝ Mayhap  at  least  this  will  stop  you  shivering. ❞

As far as we know, the only members currently in the Scions who have the Echo are Krile and the WoL. Consequently, these are one of the few ‘main’ members who haven’t fallen into a coma as of the current patch. Therefore, if Ysayle were alive, she would still be awake. In this essay I’ll ---
