TO LOVE WHAT DEATH CAN TOUCH.

[dalmascan-dancer]

@quiicknock - I cannot believe you’ve called me out like this.

THICK LASHES LIFTED unveiling amber hues which sought out the sea of her Sister’s piercing gaze. Nae drew on a deep breath, her full lips pursing on the inhale before she chuckled and waved away her sibling’s worry. “Stop fussing,” the Dalmascan girl mused with a wry grin, “I’m fine.”

Her softer, gentle, hands came to rest feather light over the Bard’s as she peeked upwards, “You’re tense.” she mused, giving Rena’s hand which still cupped her cheek a gentle squeeze. “Perhaps some time in the waters of Bronze Lake would soothe that, or would you rather stop fretting and get on with the task at hand?”  The words were uttered with a sly wink, the younger of the pair rarely taking her Sister’s concerns seriously as per usual.  Yet, it was a sign she was being honest.  Had she not been fine surely her words would not have been so cheeky.

“C'mon, or would you rather keep the Scions waiting?”

       ALWAYS  THE  OPTIMIST.  Even  when  the  waves  of  realism  crashed  down  ‘pon  them  greater  than  the  waves  of  La  Noscea  (  The  winds  of  Thanalan  ;  the  chill  of  Ishgard.  Their  calls  were  foreign,  oftentimes  unwelcoming  )  Nae  continued  to  emanate mirth. Stoicism  was  Rena’s  friend  ;  it’s  aloof  demeanour  a  protection  against  the  weight  of  the  world.  And  yet,  in  spite  of  that,  her  sister’s  coyness  was  met  with  a  wry  smile  and  the  pinch  of  rounded  cheeks.  She  shook  her  head  from  side  to  side.

       ❝NEXT  YOU’LL  DRAG  ME  TO  MOONFIRE,❞  Rena  teased,  alluding  to  a  time  not-so  long  ago  where  fireworks  streaked  the  skies  over  Costa  Del  Sol  and  nimble  legs  carried  Nae’s  dancing  feet  over  the still-warm sand. A  lifetime  ago,  it  felt;  back  when  worries  of  heroism  were  stoked  by  talks  of  republics,  and  the  two  could  take  a  break  from  war.  ❝Or is it you who yearns for the break and I am merely the scapegoat?❞

       SATISFIED,  AT  LEAST  FOR  THE  MOMENT,  Rena’s  hands  fell  to  her  side  ---  though  not  before  giving  her  sister’s  shoulders  a  squeeze.  ❝We’ll  be  able  to  rest  soon  enough,❞  she  reassured,  both  to  allude  that  it  was  she  who  needed  the  respite  but  also  to  promise  her  the  break.  ❝Then  you  can  ogle  the  Scions  from  afar.❞  She  winked  back.

[VALKYRIE] “It’s so… quiet now… The sound of battle… seems so far away.” “…Do I see tears in your eyes?” ”I won’t let you be alone for long. I shall be by your side soon enough.” ”I will face him!” ”This battle is over. Any more deaths will just be a waste.“ “Do you understand how much we sacrificed here!? If it was all for some hunk of scrap iron, it is a disgrace to the dead!” “If you play dumb, your head will fly.” “How can you willingly choose to walk the path to your own death…?“ “Hurry, run away! If you still wish to live, go!” “You’re trembling… Do you regret your actions?” “I want to see you smile… To see you happy…“ “There is no reason for you to remain loyal to a king who has abandoned you.” ”You are not an object. …And I will not allow anyone to treat you thus. Never.” “I… I can’t make it… I can’t go on…” “If you do not want your life extinguished, get out of my sight!” “You were worried… about me?” “Losing (name) to you is more painful than death itself.” “If I can be by your side, I will endure any hardship.” “You are a shining star that lit my way as I roamed the darkened earth…” “My love will shine like the stars, forever.“ [THE POOKA PRINCE] ”I thought you would have learned to be responsible, but you are still immature.” “If you saw my body, your very soul would tremble, and your blood would freeze.” “Please, go… Let me rest.” ”My love, I shall speed towards you, quick as the wind.” “All I feel now is resentment and hatred… I have lost any compassion I once had.” “This is the land of the dead. Once you taste death, you will appreciate it.” “Your short life is a dream. Death shall awaken you.” “To be treated so by my own father…” “Privileged and naive morons like yourself make me furious!” “You should be killed while you are still blinded by love!” “The sight of the nefarious sword you hold makes my blood boil with fury!” “Do not waste your breath pleading with me! “I am sure you’ve realized by now that escape is impossible.” “The ring has been returned to its rightful owner.” “If you defy me, I may simply kill the girl right here.” “If you have the power, then save my tormented soul.” “My death is near… Let us go together!” “No matter what you appear to be, you still the same person. My love shall not change.” [FAIRYLAND] “You mustn’t be eager to go to war without even knowing why we are fighting.”   “You must not look down; raise your head high and survey the path ahead.“ “Are you showing compassion to a creature that threatened you?” “You must act now; otherwise, you cannot turn back.” ”You must take the lead, or no one will follow.“ ”I can’t put my lips on a slimy, poisonous frog…” “You have come… I’ve been waiting for you.” “You have nerve, child… To show me the very weapon that killed my friend.” “We are surely being tricked.” “You need to understand that not everybody is bent on serving or protecting you.” “Fool! How dare you defy me!?” “Be careful… I could still poison you…” “I deeply regret having kept you alive.” “A coward’s eyes always see more of an enemy than there are present.” “Such a disgrace… that a child like you should attempt to strike me.” [THE BLACK SWORD] “Not even those who see the future can keep from carrying out their fates.” ”Why were you holding back? I was open several times…“ I suggests you do not concern yourself with this. …It won’t do you any good.” “I deeply regret handing you that sword…” “The pride that keeps you so fearless will be the thing that leads to your death.“ “Who are you!? Speak, or I’ll crush your head until your name falls out!” “You must demonstrate the overwhelming power of that sword.” “Kill many, and make no mistakes…” “Can you just stand by and let this nation sink into civil war!?” “The troops are in shambles… What should we do?” “…What exactly am I to you!?” “…To have lived an empty life like there was no point in being born…That is what I fear most…” “Let me show you that naivete has no place in battle!” “Yes… I killed a lizard. And I shall kill another!” “Go to sleep… for eternity!” "Do you say you mean to destroy the world!?” “From now on, I act on my own… For you…” [FATE] “He is a prince; we are but vagabonds. Your love amounts to nothing.” “Death cannot be avoided… But fate can be redirected.” “Please do not interfere with my slumber.” “What do you hope to gain…?” “Your rudeness continues… Tearing you limb from limb will not be punishment enough.” “Do not think you will die peacefully.” “Is this the beginning of the end of the world?” “I would rather fight death than wait for my cursed destiny to take me!” “I’m relieved that you’re all right…” “The wind here is tainted with selfishness.” “What is wrong, my child? You tremble.” “It seems I may need to use the whip to bring you back to your senses…” “Heroes wait for a dramatic entrance.” “I’ll draw them away and buy you some time.” “You don’t seem to understand that my friend’s death pains me terribly…” “I could crush your bones and drink your blood, but it would bring me no peace.” “I’m surrounded… I can’t escape…” “Take one more step and I shall run you through.” “I could be even more beautiful if I rouged my face with your blood.” "I will pay for my sins with my life.” “Two humans survive the end of the world…Only two will be spared…” [ARMAGEDDON] “I can’t bear it… Like a wolf, my hunger eats away at my very core…” “Dream of devouring all.” “The time to seize the world has arrived.” “‘Tis quiet… I no longer hear battle…” “They’re coming… Hurry!” “Could trying to fight this even be considered a battle?” “I wish I could see you one last time…“ "I’ll send you back to Hell.” “'Tis the end… This is Hell’s new home.” “You liar… You said we’d meet again…” “Look away from me! …I am insane enough…” “I’m so proud of you. I can leave with confidence.“ “We’ll meet at world’s end…” "Good, you’re alive…” “I think I overdid it…” “Are we the only ones who survived this…?” “We’re witnessing a miracle.”

COME, LITTLE CHILDREN, I’LL TAKE THEE AWAY --

   “You seek truths you’d naught understand.” The ancient one murmured quietly, his voice an echoing warning, soft but uncertain.

 “What you wish to pried open will come with regrets. Are you sure you still wish to seek out that which may change you child?” He mused quietly, tilting his head to the side to stare with a vacant hollow gaze.

[quiicknock]

         ❝I  AM  NO  STRANGER  TO  CHANGE,❞  she  answered,  calloused  hands  placed  precariously  on  a  bench  two  times  larger  than  her  size,  teal  hues  adrift  towards  the  ocean,  the buildings  and  the  people.  Understanding  did  not  come  easy  for  the  child  of Hydalyen  ripped  from  the  wood;  whose  reluctance  balked  only  at  the  thought  those  she  loved  would  not  be  safe.  It  was  a  necessity  ---  not  a  choice. 

        THERE  WERE  REGRETS.  Many  of  them.  Things  Rena  could  have  ---  should  have  ---  said  and  done.  There were trinkets  carried  like  memento  mori  and  hauntings  escaped  from  the  tombs.  They  did  not  manifest  in  the  deep  like  a  glittering  sarcophagus,  but  they  grew  and  constricted  her  heart  like  ivy  around  a  stone  construct  (  repeat  the  mantra:  for  those  she  had  lost  ;  FOR  THOSE  SHE  COULD  YET  SAVE  )  ‘til  the  cracks  turned  into  crumbling. 

       SHE  TURNED  TO  LOOK  AT  HIM.  This  memory,  this  knowledgeable  construct  ---  mayhap,  even,  a  once-friend.  ❝But  I  will  not  reject  a  warning.❞  Not  if  it  would  preserve  her  friends  or her  sister.  There  was  a  twitch  in  the  corner  of  her  lip  ---  an  almost  smile.   ❝Or  an  elder’s  wisdom.  Tell  me,  what  is  it  I  do  not  understand?❞

  @dalmascan-dancer is getting ACQUAINTED WITH TUMBLR RP –

        ❝YOU  ARE  UNHARMED,  I  TRUST?❞  Teal  hues  narrowed  in  an  expression  that  brokered  no  argument  —  knowing  full  well  her  sister’s  capabilities ; knowing  full  well  her  habit  to  hide  —  and,  though  the  battles  may  be  won,  Rena  was  no  fool  to  think  the  war  remained.  Nae  did  not  deserve  to  dance  for  glory,  no  more  than  she  felt  every note  a  swansong,  and  though  the  hands  that  cupped  her  sister’s  face  were  calloused  from  bowstring  the  grip  was  anything  but  unkind.  She’d  know  it  better  than  most  —  the bard  was  afraid. Try  as  she  might,  Rena  could  hide  that  from  almost  everyone  but  her.

          ❝DON’T YOU LIE TO ME. I will know.❞

Anyway I am the worst at maintaining blogs, but I am here! Feel free to like this post and I’ll get to a starter ( as well as the other things I owe, including the older call --- oops ) and I’ll try to crack some of ‘em out tomorrow.

I haven’t been on Rena in the past few days, mostly because I’ve been on @oflightsgrace and getting ready to cap/make icons --- but! Click here for her singing voice mostly because of love Erutan’s voice with my heart and soul and she fits that mellow/folk-y vibe I have going.

In the distance she hears it: a soft, but still very noticeable LAᴴᴱᴱ.

        the  half-elezen,  whilst  minding  her  own  business,  heard  the  call  in  the  distance.  eyes  closed  for  but  a  moment;  a  force  within  her,  compelling  her  to  respond  in  a  ways  that  she  had  never  thought  to  before.  perhaps  the  Echo  allowed  her  to  accustomise  herself  to  the  First’s  culture  quickly;  surely  it  was  the  only  expalanation  for  the  words  that  that  followed.  as  if  instinctually,  her  response  came  just  as  softly  as  the  other’s,  yet  none  could  deny  that  which  they  heard:  

        ❝  LAᴴᴱᴱ. ❞

        within  moments,  several  more  chants  began  –  the  Crystarium  erupted  into  a  chorus  to  commemorate  Rak’tika.

“Listen to my story. This…may be our last chance. “ “Err, ‘helly doo sad wee’ to you, too.” “People die, [name] dances.” “This is my story. It’ll go the way I want it…or I’ll end it here!” “You know…for the first time, I’m glad…to have you as my father.“  “I know it sounds selfish, but this is my story!"  "I hate your plan. It sucks."  "You’ll cry. You’re gonna cry. You always cry. See? You’re cryin’."  "Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!"  "Life is but a passing dream, but the death that follows is eternal."  "Even for a little while, people can sleep in their beds without being afraid. That kind of time is worth anything. Don’t say it isn’t worth it.” "Memories are nice, but that’s all they are."  "I shouldn’t have to say this, but don’t fall in love with her."  "No matter how dark the night, morning always comes and our journey begins anew."  "The people and the friends that we have lost…or the dreams that have faded…never forget them.” “Your hope ends here… and your meaningless existance with it!” "They were truly an elegant rage. They threw themselves at me to bar my path. One by one."  "Well, if you’re offering your lives, I will have to take them."  "Hope is…comforting. It allows us to accept fate, however tragic it might be."  "Thinking isn’t solving anything!"  "Every story must have an ending."  "Outside the dream world, life can be harsh–even cruel, but it is life."  "No no no, when I say ‘Whats our Goal??’, you say, ‘Victory!!!’"  "Touch me with that hand and I’ll remove it.” “If he dies, you’ll never be able to tell him how much you hate him."  "Oh, what’s the matter? Gonna cry again? Cry, cry. That’s the only thing you’re good for!"  "So what’s your goal this time? You gonna 'do your best’ again? Ha! It’s too bad your best isn’t good enough! Why even bother showing up?"  "This plan won’t work, you know that. We’ll just let them dream a little longer."  "Boy, don’t forget those words, 'cause if you do…I’m gonna make you regret it."  "Well, that’s a lame way to kill someone."  "Stay with me till the end. Please."  "I’m scared of lightning! Let’s rest, please? Pretty please?"  "I hadn’t really laughed like that in a long time."  "I want my journey…to be full of laughter."  "You have to choose: die and be free from pain, or live and fight the sorrow!"  "I want to ask you..to be my guardian."  "You’re hiding something from me…"  "I’d tell you if something was wrong."  “I’ve… learned how to smile… Even when I’m feeling sad.” “If we should get separated, just whistle. I’ll come running. I promise.“ “Isn’t it wonderful, to walk together holding hands? I do so want to go, to your city, your house, into your arms.” "It would be so easy to let my fate just carry me away… following this same path my whole life through. But I know I can’t. What I do, I do…with no regrets."  "You are a fading dream, but one that has been touched by reality. Run, dream. Run on into the daylight. And walk into reality."  "It is better to die in hope than live in despair."
