{An entry; Lost}

There has been a lot of travelling in my life, recently.

I’ve seen many new places -- new for me -- and many grand sights. Majestic trees that touch the sky, branches unfurled in a canopy that extends far and wide… Seas made of sand, with cascading hills of white coloured dunes… Stars that sit on the horizon, their twinkle matched in the snow that crunches under my feet… Caverns that howl from the wind, trickling water chiming in as the gust abades… Smiles and warm campfires and food shared.

While I deeply miss my family, there is something inside me that echoes with the need to experience these sights, but I do not know what it is. But there is a change coming and gone.

I was already returning to check in, as I wanted my family to worry as little as possible. With the news of Rosette’s home destroyed, and an argument had over the linkshell, my course was set. Returning back to see Emeline in such a state… Why did I leave? Why have I been gone? I felt trapped, looking through a glass wall, unable to reach those I love to provide any help, any care, watching them unravel.

The visions they saw were terrible, and all I could do was watch… watch… watch…

The lantern has guided us to a new place. There is so much more happening here beyond what I can see and understand. I hold the Moonlight Lantern. It guided us to save Jun, it guided us to this new place, and it has guided friends into being family, now. But it is also guiding us away, away, away, from the place I called home for near a year.

I will miss them. Gone they are not, but it is not the same as it was. The comfort of the ship is now in shadow. I only hope the one who carries my Moon and my Sun and my Heart will stay cast in the glow of this guiding lantern in this future that is still yet unclear.

I stand on the other side of this glass. If I cannot reach out and touch, at least I hope I can see my family heal.

OOC: it is with a heavy heart that I leave my current freecompany, The Black Garden. They are full of many wonderful amazing people, and have a great story weaved of adventures as privateers. While I will miss them dearly, Saphyra's story requires something else. Please feel free to reach out; I am still available to my friends even if I dont carry the same FC tag anymore ♡

Entry 34: Time Away

Dear Kaiara,

We had an incident on the ship involving a bomb which resulted in C’reiyah, Emeline and myself in the brig interrogating the prisoners. I cannot trust myself with my recent rage issues and so I let C’reiyah lead the questioning. We also moved the boy to a seperate cell from the others. He looked broken. I would assume I looked much the same at his age...

It was too much. I had to get away. Not to Coerthas, I would have hunted Chaumont and with the internal conflict I was fighting, he would have killed me. I went to Mor Dhona, to visit Harold, my blacksmith friend. He was none too happy t see the state of my armor but I needed his matter of fact personality and gladly took the chewing out.

It’s been almost a week and I think I’m ready to go back. I can’t take much more of Harold’s complaning anyway. He somehow forced my hair down and I can’t spike it again! I don’t know how he did this, but it will take ages to fix this.

Journal Entry

1st Sun of the 2nd Umbral Moon

The last few days have been odd. Many ups and downs. I am going to start at the beginning. 

There was a bomb threat on the ship. A messenger delivered a note, demanding the release of one of our ‘guests’. 

Catherina took control and we calmly went through everything. Some people went a little doom and gloom, others took the time to learn a bit about the ship and each other. Funny what happens when something we all love is threatened.

The bomb was found, after some creative ritual flour and our mages tracing abnormal aether about.  It was stuffed into a large gourd and smuggled in with a crate of food meant for the galley. 

Myself, Kayne and Rei went to sort out the prisoners and get information from them. I’m sure it is the calmest interrogation to ever take place. 

A new crewmen was hired. Locke. He is a very broken person that needs a hot meal and to know people will not be cruel. He is a deserter from Garlemald and shows the signs of desperation. It will be interesting to see how he adapts. 

And with that, we had a ‘welcome’ event. I managed to arrange for a pier rental as Costa del Sol and Jun volunteered to set up some powerful drinks that I feel, in retrospect, were not fully legal. But everyone made it, stopping by when they could. It was nice to see everyone out of their gear and actually smiling. Catherina gave a lovely little welcome, we hosted some volleyball....where clothing seemed to be optional. So I will never be hosting the game again! And Kat arrived...it was not pleasant, but she left quickly after that. But not quick enough that she did not sour my mood. 

In the end, Lulu and new crewman Asher won the championship! Many were drunk by the time they left. 

Then I accosted a drunken Corsa’ir who danced back into our lives again. He got to hear my opinion and know what happened when he left us, yet again. I just had to wait for most to leave before I felt comfortable enough to give him a piece of my mind. 

He yet again, promises to fix everything...

People of Black Garden Co.

As seen through the eyes of Emeline Toursart, CMO

Corsa’ir Boon

What can I possibly add about Cora’ir boon that I have not ranted and praised about on a consistent basis? He is frustrating, handsome, agitating, comforting, and all around a cad. But he is our cad. I consider him one of my closest friends, even if I have nothing in common with the man. I think he creates far too many lady problems for himself. But he is a self-made miqo...even if it was self-made at sword point and back-alley dealings. No matter, we have saved each other’s life countless times and I know that he is a pearl flick away should I ever need anything. So I suppose I love him and wish to strangle him at all times. But one woman told me that that is a normal feeling. 

C’reiyah Rahven

I suppose the first thing I knew about her, before ever meeting her, was that she was Catherina’s true love and the person she was pining for when I first joined the ship. Then I knew her as this loud and strange person in a market that was harassing A’kaia. Then I finally got to know the real Rei. She is funny, witty and down to earth. She has fully returned to the crew now that we have made berth in Limsa. Her skill as an archer does interest me and I might work up the bravery to ask for a few lessons. 

Katalin Hunter

I suppose that if I wrote this a month or so back I would have been ranting that she was a slaver spy sent to derail and kill Corsa’ir. I was so paranoid about every shadow that her sudden appearance at the wrong time made me question everything about her. It took time and a great deal of frustration to sort out that I was wrong. And I will always freely admit when I am. It started us off on the wrong foot completely. But Katalin today is a person that I cannot live without in my Med Bay and someone I look to for protection in the field. She is blunt, kind, smart and stoic at times. She has a temper though, the sharp tip I have caught myself on several times before we had our talk. Now we are starting over. I look forward to our future friendship.
