FFXIV Write Prompt 25: Wish
Question: How many Dotharl does it take to empty a wine barrel?
Answer: Just one.
Kholyn-suns was drunk to the point of introspection. As introspection was not something she had ever really done in the past and was not good at it this is the same as if to say she was drunk to the point of calligraphy. She would pursue the goal with single minded (and malted) fervor but would end with nothing but horribly stained clothing and a huge mess on her hands in the morning.
I miss my family. I wish they were here. Naxia. Mom. AnguiâŠ
The thought of her best friend brought a lump into her throat. Their parting had not been a happy thing. Ever since she confessed a desire to leave the tribe Angui had grown distant and cold until finally Kholyn confronted her. Anguiâs frustration boiled over then and it ended with a sharp slap to Kholynâs face and the following admonition: âYou never see whatâs right in front of you, you stupid bull!â
Kholyn didnât understand it then. And she didnât now. She had hurt her friend somehow but she wasnât sure what she had done. Thinking back on their time together. Talking. Playing. Spending nights curled into the same bedroll. What didnât she see? Iâll come back, Angui. And when you see what Iâve become youâll see that it was all worth it.
Kholyn was an idiot and she was wrong about this but she would find out why for a long time. Her future was going to be full of stories of her failures. The triumphs would be few but in the long run, it would all work out.Â
Right?
