I want to inspire people. I want people to look at me and say “because of you I didn’t give up.”

The Crystal Tower did call him, or so he sensed. It wasn’t a call he was willing to answer however. Step after step, walking towards the glowing beacon in the distance but his mind was elsewhere.
‘A Warrior of Light has to do what a Warrior of Light has to do.’
It was something Mihn was trying to repeat to himself as he was walking forth but his gaze darted to passing creatures that knew better than to attack him. Should he provoke? Hunt them down? Somewhat this was tempting, more than he was willing to admit. More tempting than going towards this tower...
He stepped. A heavy breath escaped him and it was when a smell of food caught his nose. As if under a command his stomach let a sound growl. Surely whoever was behind the campfire would spare a bite for a wandering adventurer.
Mihn made a turn and soon he was by the source of the smell. A small smile formed on his lips - he knew this adventurer.
“It called you too, huh?” Mihn stepped in, rising a hand in greeting. “Good to see you are well Garen.”
He had bumped at him a couple of times in the past, a fellow Warrior of Light whom undoubtedly shared similar journey and yet he was the one smiling with seemingly not a care in the world and the once peppy bard was trying to convince himself of doing what he once would not even question.
- So you’re Zodiark.” “+ Aye.” “- The god for whom Ascians are always wrecking shit and whatnot.” “+ Aye.” “- And you want me to become Warrior of Darkness.” “+ Aye.” “- And unwrite history and go through time travel shenanigans and all that kind of stuff.” “+ Aye.” “- …” “+ …” “- If I do all this, can I save Haurchefant?” “+ … It was not the intended purpose, yet if the chance presents, thou mayestー” “- DEAL.
The Warrior of Light becoming the Warrior of Darkness, probably. (via shadowmeowth)
So hyped for 5.0! I sketched me some edgy Mihn! :D

[[ Hello new followers! \o/ Good morning! Mun is still a little sluggish with her bard Warrior of Light but for the most part, he is back to giving judgmental looks over MSQ NPCs and heir story decisions! ]]

Mihn listened carefully as Pipin reached a conclusion and with that gave a firm answer. He had placed his own judgment on Teledji, and so far the man had earned his trust. Normally one would think, yes a former syndicate surely knows how to lie his way to a favorable position but ...
Mihn scratched his cheek.
... Teledji Adeledji was rather transparent. It was obvious when he was lying, it was obvious when he was earnest too even when he was trying to conceal it. Surely Pipin had noticed so himself. This only meant one thing, he really did earn his trust.
“tis ensuring to hear.” Mihn replied with a small shrug, “What battles your father carried were his. You may lend him your strength but what you will fight with him is his demons, not yours”
He pulled his bow to aim again, but no arrow was sent flying. “Your friend may need a shield and I may not be close. As much as he clings to life, guilt is crippling, it whispers you things - sometimes you may believe those things and your feet will root you still, like a striking dummy.” ... ... “And we don’t oft hesitate as we do a blow even in the darkness ... if we know out target lies there.”
Shot. Now it was a bit evident where these arrows were going, it was the striking dummy at the end of the yard.
An awkward silence set. Mihn put the bow back, stood up to dust his garb - his inquire was answered and perhaps his business here was done. Finally, he beamed a smile as if none of the rather grim conversation occurred just a moment ago. “We ought to spar sometime.”

His fingertips idly traced over his bow as he watched Pipin's shifting reaction... and the words escaping his lips. Something the marshal said humored him and the bard produced a light chuckle. That chuckle had no humor to it however. It was a cold, bitter one.
"You want me to deal with it?"
A loose aim and an arrow was set flying onto the darkness. The bard leaned back, nonchalantly ready to shoot another. "What makes you think I won't kill him?"
With that Mihn beamed a smile "Not all Warriors of Light walk in the light of the crystal." A third arrow was released, effortlessly. This one's sound differed. It hit something...but in the darkness it was hard to tell.
Was Mihn taunting him? Was this a provoke? Or was he watching how he'd react? Maybe all of that.
He leaned back again, resting his bow on his lap, giving Pipin a short pause before he added a small shrug and a few words.
"Tis easy to fight for something - to slay for revenge, for a cause... it rids of your identity. You can say you did it for something bigger. Protecting is different - you risk yourself for someone. That requires trust. Ideals, causes... they don't betray you. They can’t. But... people can."
...
"... Do you trust him?"

The Warrior of Light was glad to see Pipin didn't hurry to go inside. The eve was beautiful indeed. So much he didn't mind the bells spent waiting for him.
"Tis always an urgency that meets us, isn't it? Nay, tis none such." Mihn waved a hand brushing the pending concerns. "I saw your father the other day - strolling the meadows by the Peaks. I said no word, just like you, he would turn alert if I did. Tis was a blessed moment to withness, rather not have spoiled it with my presence."
Mihn smiled, gesturing with a hand as he went on speaking, words coming forth calm and even, almost like a sweet tale.
"A stroll he had longed for many moons, stepping over a land that he lived to see free again." Mihn paused for a moment letting the image paint itself... before he added, "And was not til long he slayed a hostile insect near twice his size. The creature had crept on him but safe to say, he is still as swift with his strikes."
Now that was an image Pipin could picture better.
"Your father is doing well is all I came to say." Mihn smiled again. "And I see you too are in good spirits."
As the conversation went on, Mihn idly shifted, placing his long bow on his lap. It was too dark to adjust it no doubt. Then why?
"Men born into a war long for peace but they know naught of how to live in such. Soon his hand will be restless, his mind racing and a blade missing. He longed for this moment but moments are fleeting. It won't be long until he will return to Eorzea among the rest of the leaders ... ... ... among you."
...
His look lowered over his fingers, tracing the carvings on his bow, taking a small moment of silence between them.
"What will you do when he finds out?"
And with that he locked a pair of amber eyes on the marshal.

It was long since the sun had set over Thanalan. And yet, the flames marshal had taken his time as per usual to finish just a few extra things in Ul'dah. It was time to rest now. Time to go back home and call it a day.
Until he heard a voice from the rooftop.
"About time you made it home. I feared I'd have to wait til dawn here."
Mihn one of the Warriors of Light Pipin knew had perched himself on the rooftop and Twelve knows for how long he's been sitting there. And yet, he didn't seem to have minded it judging from the soft smile on the bard's lips.
"I bring nothing of urgency," Mihn hurried to add, "else I'd have paid you a visit in the barracks."
Nearly every encounter with any grand company leaders or commanders were due to often alarming reasons, a friendly casual visit was rare. And now with how seemingly peaceful Eorzea has been... one would think a warrior of light was visiting to bring yet another concern.
... or maybe he was.

As Zura’s feet took him across Yanxia, he soon felt being watched. Someone was following him, a shadow perhaps? Or perhaps the figure was was exactly whom he was looking for.
Every time Zura would turn his look, he’d find it was a moment before his shadow had moved leaving nothing a little rustle among the leaves. Only after he had gone a good long distance from Namai did a voice finally reach his ears.
“Have you lost your way, traveler?”
That was him. Something about the way he stood, the bow he held on his back, the light of his steps which still found their way behind him, all gave a hint - this was the bard he was looking for.
