Happy Father's Day!

At least to all those who celebrate it today. And also to Novv, one of the best dads in FFXIV.

“Your presssence is as welcome as ever, daughter,” Novv said fondly while looking over glimmering shells Seww had brought up from the depths. “We have been approached by Maelssstrom officers about engaging with our fellow sahagin to bring peace. I am proud of the work you and yours have done to make this possssible.” He looked up, watching over his various young sons playing and working on their small rocky shore.

Aeryn nodded, smiling as she also watched the younger clutchbrothers.

“Here are the supplies you asssked about before,” Novv continued, gesturing to a few sacks. “Hopefully your allies will find them of use.” He shook his head in remaining disbelief. “Sahagin on another world, so sssimilar and yet different.”

“Thank you, clutchfather,” Aeryn said. “I hope this helps too; I don’t know when the waters will return for them. I’m afraid we did them great harm in our effort to find our enemy.”

“Better to adapt than to stop exisssting entire,” Novv said. “You will do right by these dissstant cousins.” His frills flexed in a way similar to a smile, needing to say no more.

Aeryn blushed and took the supplies. Novv was soon distracted by Houu and a matter of training the younger brothers, leaving Aeryn to pause and look out over the sea as it stretched past the barrier reefs and beaches of Halfstone.

The waves hushing against the shore were easy to tune out, unless one listened to them; then it was all she could hear, the rest of the clutch fading into the background. She thought of the gleaming shells brought back from the deep and not for the first time wondered.

Wondered if she could take an elbst or manta ray and dive further and further from Vylbrand’s coast, into the darker depths where the sun’s beams did not pierce the water. Where light came from the flora and fauna, some of it deceptive in its strangeness and size, dangerous to mere surface dwellers.

Wondered if, in a place somewhat similar to the Ondo’s home, she would find remnants of ancient buildings. Impossible spires, grand arches, unbroken glass. The silt and detritus might have buried most of them, but something, something had to remain…

Another version of Anamnesis Anyder? One with records that did not falter?

Were there answers, malms below the Indigo Deep?

Or, as in the Tempest in the First, were there only more questions?

She thought again of asking Novv about swimming farther and deeper; he had so far declined, concerned about other sahagin nearer the Indigo City, realm of the Queen, and how they would react to a hyur who now breathed water like a fish. He was disturbed by the distances she spoke of, the questions she had. While he claimed to have seen nothing resembling the buildings she described and drew, she found him harder to read than most, and so often debated with herself if that was true. Or were those possible remnants further down,  more deeply buried?

She realized there would not be an island of air created by a fae whale, nor a shadowy city filled with ghostly memories and the nearly perceptible memory of music and voices. A mirage that made her ache in an almost homesick way, for a place she had never known, a person she had never been—yet knew, somehow. She irrationally hoped that if a sliver of that individual remained somewhere in the Lifestream, they watched and were at least somewhat proud of her.

As the sun slipped lower, the glow on the water reminded her of that strange space between where Minfilia had waited to rejoin with Ryne, though soon enough the light would fade to shadows. The waves lapped at her boots as the tide rolled in, the steady sound of their motion like breathing, or a heartbeat. Aeryn thought, not for the first time, that she could almost—

“Aeryn!” One of the youngest boys ran up to her, webbed feet slapping the wet turf loudly, followed by two of his clutchmates. “Pahh sssaid we can play with the new elbssst hatchlings! You should come too! Pleassse?!”

The moment had passed, and she shook it off with a laugh, letting the young sahagin pull her along to join in their games.

The mysteries of the ancient past would wait another day. The reality of the here and now had far more pressing demands—like playing big sister to a group of excited little boys getting to pick their own elbsts.

She was at least certain the ghost of her former self wouldn’t mind that.

Do you know the beastnoch triples from @kanrix blog? I know it may be a weird request but can you please draw them in the au where beast has a town and enoch is the lutous gardener? You don't have to draw it If you don't want to x I really like your work btw x

I do know them!

Ask and you shall receive!

So, the Lotus Gardner AU doesn’t really change designs all that much, its about changing dynamics and there aren’t a ton of design changes. The person who changes the most is Enoch, so it would be the triplet’s aspects in relation to Enoch that would see the most change. 

First, everyone would constantly be in bloom, Enoch is a lot more obvious about his Harvest Lord  capabilities and all three triplets would constantly be blooming lotuses. Enoch also doesn’t really have the maypole skin on the same level, but I didn’t want to take away Novv’s ribbons because I couldn’t think of replacements for her to use as arms. 

Their biggest change would probably be in behavior, that being, they’d be a lot... I don’t know if meaner is the word, but more malicious. Enoch is decidedly a very mellow character, and in the Lotus Gardener AU he’s much less of one, meaning, the kids would probably bully the Beast. A lot.
