i hope ur right. good dreams r kinda rare these days

weird related q tho: do u ever have dreams based on echos?

more baby stories lets see... one time i went & there was a little girl born too early so they didn't have a spare bed for her & every1 had spent all week taking turns carrying her in a lil tummy sling. when i showed up for my shift they didn't even ask they just strapped her on and told me when 2 check on her or feed her & i did the rest of my work with her sleeping & gurgling all day. it was sooo warm like wearing a mini-furnace around. they had to wrestle her away from me when i had to leave (;﹏;)

during 1 of the seasonal festivals they wanted to do an art project (i forget why) so i brought some paints, & one baby wanted 2 paint my hair instead. every1 thought it was funny until i left too late to go home & shower so i ended up in a council meeting with pink n blue streaks. didn't even acknowledge it when i went in i just acted normal to see if any1 asked lol. i thought dad was gonna explode trying to hold that kingly composure the whole meeting & every1 else was pissed at the ~indignity~ after it was done i could hear dad & clarus laughing 3 halls over, it was great

oh and the lady who ran the refugee center had a 4 yr old who she brought in a lot bc he fit right in w/ the other kids. he thought he owned the place 2 so imagine a tiny kid with hands on his hips and this adorable tenebraean accent all "ur highness u mustn't interrupt playtime, we do not nap until after noon"

i bet u would like a baby, w/ how you dote on hythlo and all. wouldn't mind seeing a baby auri too

lmaoooo ok ok ok maybe bahamut wears a mask to hide when he has lil freakouts when his stupid plan doesn't go the way he wants it to. ...wait shit do u think he can smite me from here, i still have a covenant and all

bahamut dont read this

deathclaws are the worst!!! like giant crab dragons w/ death lasers. ill see if i can find a picture. prompto wasnt with us when we fought one so i cant count on his selfies

I don't believe so. If I have, they aren't dreams I remember.

I have nightmares sometimes though.

I try not to sleep very much at home. Here, there is little else to do. How do civilians stand such mundane lives?

Oh my gods Noct that is so precious 😍 I did the same for Hythlodaeus when he was an egg, and until he grew too big. It was very nice, especially because it was cold out. He kept me so warm. Hades knew better than to try taking Hythlo away. I get cold so easy and my little egg is so snuggly.

Most of your council sound like they've got sticks so far up their arses they could brush their teeth with them. I imagine there are few greater honours than a baby deciding you're they're favourite.

I just imagined Alisaie as a very small child doing this, because it is something she would have done. "Don't you have better things to do than interrupt playtime, your highness?"

She would probably say the same thing even now, if I'm honest. Sometimes I feel bad for poor Alphinaud, but he was also so insufferable when he was younger lol They kept each other in line.

The thought of being a mother is something that always scared me. To be the world to something so precious and vulnerable and wholly dependent on me, when the whole of the world depends upon me as well. As things are, even if I could have a child, it would be too dangerous.

I have some pictures from when I was turned small. I was six years old, so not quite a baby. I have pictures from when I was twelve as well. I was such a rude adolescent it's embarrassing. Verstael approached me asking for a sample and Kiyomi told him he was being creepy.

"Do you ask all the little girls here that?"

Ardbert has the whole audio saved, since Kiyomi called him from her pocket in case something happened.

Bahamut cannot smite you from here, don't worry.

Shite Noct those sound amazing. Better than the boring zombie dhalmels.

[...nightmares... he'd best not bring it up, then. She has enough on her plate.]

i dont mind the idea of sleeping all day. id totally sleep all morning if i thought cor would let me get away w/ it

ya i dont rly miss the council... i used 2 wonder what id do about them when i became king, like can i fire them?? i would want a council that cared about lucis not just insomnia, some of them didnt even want 2 let the refugees in. like come on we're all lucians quit bein a snob just bc ur rich. dad let them get away w/ stuff bc they were old families but he didnt like it either

i kinda know what u mean. i didnt think much about kids until the treaty came up & suddenly i was gonna get married. every1 was like ohhhh hows it feel?? but it was hard enuf to wrap my head around bein a husband nevermind starting a family. i kinda knew in the back of my mind that it had 2 happen tho, in a line like ours... we burn out fast u can't just sit around & take ur time with it. dad wasnt even 30 when i was born and they still had ppl griping in the papers that he didnt have an heir yet

i didnt want 2 have a kid & then die early on them either. theres no good answer ig

omg besithia srsly did that?? what is that guys problem, cant he b normal for even 5 mins. good that u told him off. hes so weird ugh.

here its a bad photo but we were kinda in the middle of fighting it

[Attached is a somewhat blurry obscured image of a deathclaw on a snowy landscape, swords swung in the background.]

Sleeping all morning is all right every now and then, but not every day. Perhaps once or twice a week? I have lost muscle tone from periods of too much idleness, though feel healthier in most other ways due to my body having an opportunity to rest.

Perhaps have the people of each region under Lucian rule vote for one of their own they'd like to sit on the council. Something like a parliament.

Ishgard has shifted into bicameral republic, with two parliaments — the House of Lords and the House of Commons. It is meant to ensure that both the highborns and the lowborns are represented equally within the government.

What is the point in being a king if you can't kick out the council and replace it with those who hold the best interests of all in mind, rather than the few?

Unless you're the Fae King, I suppose. The fae don't fuss over trivial matters like politics. I should ask Titania one day what they do... I honestly have no idea.

I can scarcely wrap my head around my impending matrimony, and it was my own choice. I wonder if it's like that, regardless? To suddenly be thinking of yourself as someone's spouse.

I am fortunate that Ardbert has no expectation of children. I had been so worried, because he would be such a wonderful father. But he was confused when I asked if he would resent me for it, because he had already known I wasn't able to lol

I wonder what would have happened if someone in your family line decided to not produce any offspring, or was incapable of it?

Dying and leaving a child without a parent is part of why I would never have one as things are. I don't expect to see past thirty summers, if I'm honest. I know I have people who would take care of any child I had, but I've seen too many children learn they've lost their mother or father.

Are you surprised? Kiyomi kept reminding him that she was twelve. She wasn't an aetherologist. It was embarrassing to listen to, but also interesting. Even if she didn't have the resources to learn, her theories on aetherology weren't wholly incorrect. She was quite smart.

I do feel somewhat bad for Verstael. If he's always struggled with socializing it's little wonder he grew into the man he is now.

Swivving hells Noct that looks like so much fun I want to fight one. Do they have tails?

I will send some pictures of Kiyo. One moment.

[ She finds some pictures Ardbert took of her at six years old, having been convinced to take off her headscarf indoors at the very least.

The little girl is painfully small, pale, and her stubby horns are jagged at the ends in a clearly unnatural way — the shape doesn't at all resemble the broad wings of Era's adult horns.

Still, Kiyo looks content and safe in each photo, and the images do well in showing how tiny Auri horns and tails are when they're children. ]

Horns and tails grow as we age, though stop at a certain size. Our horns can regrow, and I believe our tails can as well if given time and proper treatment.

i like sleeping in & staying up late, but every1 i know are morning ppl. it wasnt as big a problem in insomnia but outside the walls we had to camp or stay in at night bc of daemons so wakeup was 6am every morning bright and early. awful uuuugh no thank u

ill leave government rebuilding to ignis & gladio & whoever else wants it. lucis doesnt need any more kings after me, it'll be better off if the ppl can decide for themselves. i think if thats the legacy i leave behind id be ok w/ that somehow

u should probably ask some1 who actually managed to get married bc idk that one, sorry.

ummm idk actually, about ppl who had reasons 4 not having kids. like obv they managed bc we made it all the way to me eventually, but the line def had some hiccups. queen crepera got the throne bc her dad and bro died from daemons, but a lot of generations only had 1 kid i think? maybe 2 avoid fights over succession considering how the line started. but if she wasnt born then the line would have ended with her bro. so maybe it was just luck sometimes

oh i bet u would like her, she was badass

yea idk how to feel about besithia, like on 1 hand he's kind of? trying? w/ prompto? but on the other hand he's creepy and a nif, and i dont think i can ever NOT hate nifs for what theyve done... its complicated ig.

oh yeah deathclaws have huge tails, big as tree trunks. they hit like a truck too, literally broke all my ribs one time

how come u and kiyomi are like different ppl? its not just u as a kid?

shes super cute tho holy shit, little stubbies. ur right auri babies are great

Some people have different natural sleep patterns to others. You might consider trying a schedule that more closely aligns to your biology, but still allows for productive daytime hours.

Perhaps wake up at 10am, and continue your training and other work later to account for the difference. You may find yourself with more energy, and feel more alert. It would be a matter of trial and error; experimentation, to see what best works for you. I tend to stay up late and rise early, but take naps in the during the hottest parts of the day.

That would be a good legacy to leave behind. Even if you do survive, you can pretend that you didn't and go off to be an adventurer or chocobo rancher or whatever your heart desires instead. Leave the politics to people more fond of them.

Queen Crepera? She must have been interesting. All of the women leaders I've met have been forces to reckon with.

You were taught about your family's lineage?

I don't know Verstael's relationship to Prompto or yourself, or the rest of your family, so I cannot judge on that. I do find him... sad, I suppose. It must be a lonely life.

When I was younger I thought I hated all Garleans. It wasn't until later I understood that I hated what Garlemald stood for and not the people themselves. The ones that weren't subjugated and oppressed, forced into servitude of the empire, were almost always soldiers who were manipulated into believing lies.

Some of my greatest allies have been Garleans.

All men are capable of horrible, unspeakable cruelties. In the end it doesn't matter their race or creed. We are all equals. Equally capable of good, or evil.

So I would say... Do not hate Nifs just for being of Nifleheim. If you need to hate, hate individuals. Or hate the society that twisted humanity into its cruelest forms.

In the end, however, hatred is a waste. There is so much of it in the world. Imagine how much hatred shaped the lives of your enemies. What would they have been if circumstances were different?

I do my best to feel sadness and love for each enemy I slay. Even if they may have done loathsome things... No one deserves to feel hated in their final moments.

But that is just my experience.

Do they do the thing where they spin in a circle and use the momentum to knock everyone away, or is it just a tail smash? Also ouch, Noct. That always hurts. Were your lungs all right? Punctured lungs are the godsdamned worst. As if a broken rib isn't irritating enough, suddenly you can't breathe either. 🙄

You are twenty, or something thereabouts, aren't you?

I've no memory from before the age of twenty-one. Not a single thing. Until I was turned into a child I had assumed Hydaelyn made me, or breathed life back into a corpse and stuffed me into it.

I was Her Crystal Bearer, and her daughter. I chose to be Era.

I do not remember being Kiyo, or Kiyomi, or Aura. The memories I have now are akin to the faded memory of a dream. The memories of your childhood are clearer than my own will ever be.

Auri children are so very cute. If I have a child one day she will look entirely Auri, save for having fewer scales.

ive tried a few different things but ppl never let me get away with it. theres always something thats gotta get done, meetings or training or lessons w/e. getting up sucks but its easier than getting chewed out for being lazy

man i would love that tho... just do whatever i wanted with my life. thats the dream, never had that before
like in school we had those days where the teacher's all "what do u want to be when u grow up". how am i supposed to answer that lol

queen crepera was a badass. i think she was the first queen? so it was a big deal and ppl were such assholes about it she flipped them all off and did everything from the shadows like a ninja. they called her the rogue & her legends are terrifyingly cool

i learned a little bit about as many kings as we still have records for. the whole line is a legacy y'know? & we gather power through the souls of ancestors. its important 2 know that history

ya it can do a tail spin if i remember it right. lungs... ummm i coughed up some blood so probably! iggy had an elixir so it was fine

i dont mean i hate ALL nifs. im not a kid i understand like, nuance and shit. but we dont rly get to meet avg citizens so i have no idea what theyre like for the most part. its said that the emperor is loved by his ppl but that same emperor has been killing OUR ppl for decades so it doesn't paint a good picture. plus the commanders weve fought are like, cartoonishly evil, i half expected a solid "mwahaha" out of them. i hate those guys. they just want 2 hurt ppl

aranea and her guys are cool tho, and they're from niflheim. & she had the sense to get herself out when she saw how bad things were getting. not every1 had that chance, & a lot of ppl probably died when the daemons took over gralea. i can kind of get that some1 like besithia who is rly loyal to the emperor might balk at the idea of either of them being evil and destroying their own country

i cant be as nice as you tho. you dont remember your early years and that sucks, im sorry. but i remember mine. 20 yrs of war & ppl coming into the city with nothing bc niflheim took everything from them & killed everyone they love. they attacked tenebrae & killed the oracle just 2 kill me and my dad. their daemon almost cripped me. they infected kids w/ starscourge & kept making monsters even after they owned the world. i don't know how 2 not be angry about it. im not sad when they die trying to kill me

[...that sounds really dour though, so-]

in their defense they make cute babies too

It isn't laziness to work with your body rather than against it, but that is understandable. If you ever wish to take a nap one afternoon, you're welcome to come over. I can also teach you to use a proper bow, if you like. I believe I made the same offer to Prompto, but didn't have the supplies at the time.

Likewise, if you would like or need any training with a greataxe, Ardbert would be thrilled to assist.

What would you do? If you had a chance to just be Noctis — a future — what would you enjoy most? It is worth thinking about, even if it may never happen.

She sounds wonderful. What were her weapons of choice? I know some shinobi, and they are formidable allies. The art of the shinobi in my world originated with my people, the Raen.

You've elixirs that can cure shattered ribs? That's incredible Noct (°ロ°) !

My apologies — I hadn't meant to imply it was childish. You would be surprised at how many grown men and women who paint all Garleans with the same broad stroke. So much hatred.

I've met a few Garleans like your Aranea. The lucky few who saw where things were headed and found a way to leave. I'm glad she and her companions escaped Nifleheim. It means there must be others like her. Hopefully they all find their way to refuge.

Gaius van Baelsar was once a Garlean general. He was tasked with conquering Eorzea. He failed, and once he saw that the empire was willing to destroy Eorzea he began to have doubts. He truly, honestly believed that conquering us 'savages' would bring us peace and enlightenment, or some gobshite like that. He was actually the one who told me I had the power to rule. He had a big, long speech trying to convince me to join his cause.

He was manipulated and lied to, and as a result he was a ruthless man. I felt no remorse when I believed him dead by my actions.

Then he reappeared one day, returning a comatose Alphinaud to us. He saved my little brother. He saved my baby brother and brought him back to us when we feared him dead.

Hard as it may be to understand, people who are loyal to their leaders trust them. They trust that even seemingly horrific acts are done with foresight and a purpose for the greater good of their people. Or they are simply told lies about what is being done, where Nifleheim or Garlemald may have instigated an attack resulting in the deaths of their own, they can say that it was the Lucians or the Eorzeans who did it.

Their people cling to their trust as the world crumbles around them, because otherwise they would crumble too.

Do you mind if I tell you a story? It is one of a war between dragons and 'elves'. It was what gave me understanding, where before I felt only unending anger.

[ And speaking of anger, she can't help but feel a spark of resentment at how easily he dismisses her. She takes a moment to push it aside because she knows it's because he does not and will not ever be able to understand it, and she would never wish for him to. ]

I will never be able to comprehend living so many years, so I will never truly be able to understand. I'm so incredibly sorry for all that you have suffered through, and will continue to suffer through. If I've been dismissive of you it was never my intent.

But please

Noct
it's

However easily I may share it with you, not a single soul in my home worlds know the true extent of my amnesia. They will never know of the detailed journals I keep. They will never know that each time I fall asleep there is a moment where I fear this may be the last thing I ever remember. That I will wake up in the morn an empty slate once again, forgetting all the things I hold so dear.

Ardbert knows, and Hades knew. I've hinted at it before with Ardyn, but never told him.

I have near five years of memories from home. A majority of my memories are horrible. I see the worst of humanity more often than I see the good. Over half of my life has been spent in active war. I've lost so many friends I cannot count them any longer.

After Haurchefant was killed I spent so much time being angry. I was so filled with hatred. I wanted to lash out. To hurt all those around me. I was tired of losing everything I held dear to me.

I slaughtered the man who killed my brother. He died by a blade fueled by anger, resentment, and hatred.

It only served to make me feel worse. I did not kill Ser Zephirin — I murdered him, Noct. I could argue it was self-defense, but in my heart of hearts I know that is a lie.

Since that day I've made sure to wield my weapons out of a desire to protect, not a desire for vengeance. It isn't a matter of being nice. It is a matter of never wanting to feel like that again. I never want to become like those I kill.

And so I make sure to always feel compassion for those whose lives I must take. Not just for them, but for myself.

You are such a kind person, Noct. I don't want you to ever feel like I did back then.

pfft if it isnt laziness someone tell gladio that. its fine here tho, i can nap all i want after i make it through training. its not so bad

im pretty good w/ axe polearms, if i ever get one here tho i can get practice in with him. shooting a real bow might be cool too

if i had a choice... gods idk. i like drawing. i had a blast doing all the designing and dev work for kings knight here. i liked doing the volunteer work back home, with animals & kids. i was just happy helping ppl i think? sounds kind of lame but i liked being a hunter. or adventurer ig by ur worlds standard. but thinking about "what if" is depressing as hell.

her weapon's this gigantic shuriken, 4 points, each side's as long as my arm. works like normal shurikens with the armiger tho bc i can just call it back and keep tossing it. its pretty good

theres some rly good elixirs that heal almost any damage, but theyre sourced from rly rare ingredients so we had 2 be careful. it was mostly just me & gladio fighting that day so to be a man down was real bad, made it worth using it

some things can be excused by bad leadership, i know that. aranea was lied to plenty as well. but theres some stuff that theres no excuse for. its hard to draw the line between, i just know i cant be so forgiving of the ones who cross it. im not sorry for that

u can tell a story, ill listen.

[He does take a moment's pause before he continues, because... yeah, that was a lot.]

im sorry. i didnt mean to make light of it. get p self centered when I'm pissed off & the nifs piss me off like almost nothing else except maybe that asshole. doesnt make it ok tho

i hope you get your memories back. i cant imagine how scary that would be, id be freaked out too if that happened to me. i understand a little- obv not like that but after marilith i lost a lot of myself. iggy used to tell me how different i was but i dont remember it at all. i knew ppl and where home was and i recognized my own stuff but its like my brain couldnt remember who i was, like all that happened & suddenly i woke up in tenebrae a whole new person. i dont like to hear that i was someone else b4, like marilith took that from me too. but whoever i was back then isnt who i am now and i like who i am mostly.

i like who u are now too, i hope you keep the memories u earned by everything u went through from now on whatever else happens

i did feel that hate for izunia. idk if i still do but he

[.....]

after altissia it felt like he took everything from me. i wanted so badly to find him again and make him feel what i felt somehow. when he showed up i didnt even think about what he was saying to me, i just saw his face and wanted to carve it off his body

it wasnt him though. his magic can make other ppl look and sound different, and he changed prompto to himself & neither of us knew it. i almost killed him

i dont want to hate so much that it blinds me into hurting my friends. next time i saw him i listened & waited until i knew it was him, & from now on ill do the same again. i dont know if i can feel compassion for some1 like him, even now that i know his whole story, not after what he did. but when i kill him itll be for the world, not revenge. i think i can manage at least that much

If he ever arrives here I can supply you with scientific evidence about differing circadian rhythms.

I can teach you how to make one. We would need the materials, and purchase time at the forge, but a simple polearm is hardly a challenge. I may actually have the metal on hand for the axe head, since I've been trying to gather enough for a greatsword. I haven't been able to acquire enough scraps of consistent quality to forge a blade the size I need. It is frustrating.

Would you like to design something for my wedding?

Oh, that sounds very useful. Shinobi have a spell where they create a shuriken out of aether, but it is not something they can do in rapid succession. How do you manage to throw it effectively without cutting yourself? I'm unfamiliar with the movement needed to throw one.

I will tell you of the Dragonsong War another day. The thousand year war between Ishgard and the Dravanians. Perhaps I will share it with the network. Enough people seem enthralled by the fantastical aspects of my reality that they may enjoy it.

It's all right, Noct. I know you didn't. I'm just sensitive with regards to memory. I think it may be why the Echo strikes me as it does — there is so much empty space to be filled. Like a sponge.

What you describe is a common side-effect of experiences such as yours. Your brain was protecting itself as best it could. Who you were after and who you are now is a testament to your will. I like this person you are now.

I'm so sorry. I have never been placed in a situation like that... I can only imagine how awful it was. I'm glad Prompto survived, and you chose to learn from such a horrible experience.

Have compassion for the person he was, but not the one he became. Kill him for the world, and for your family. Put an end to it.

lol ok i would actually like to see that, put a pin in it

ive never done forging before. probably better left in more expert hands lol... might be neat to see it done. do u know about making other stuff? like not weapons

uhhhh i mean i could try and design a thing but im not a pro or anything... its just something i do in my free time. what r u thinking?

the royal arms work with w/ the armiger a different way than our normal weapons, so part of it is skill and the other part is just kinda levitation ig. it can fly at weird angles and duplicate itself, its super not a normal shuriken so idk how to explain how it works lol
if it ever shows up ill let u see a demo. sry i cant just hand it over tho

ya i get that. probably why the memories stick so well, with less other memories to push them out. itd be good if there was a way to, idk, separate that tho. not the echo but the way the memory thing works. u should get to keep your own memories & not fill your head with other ppls. thats not great for every1 involved i think. not that im mad about it, not ur fault, its just kinda... idk. invasive? like its stuff that has a lot of meaning so the impacts rly bad on both sides
ugh ugh idk how to say what i mean, am i making any sense??

i guess i dont have much of a choice about how it gets done. with izunia i mean. like apparently ill have ten years to sit around thinking about it so maybe when i wake up ill feel a lil more charitible about it. hard to say b4 it happens u know?

Most of what I learned was out of necessity — so accessories, foci, weaponry, and armor. I know how to make basic potions, healing remedies, and enchanted inks for my arcanima. I've made a few clockwork automatons, though I wouldn't call myself an expert. They require time I often didn't have to spare.

I used to make toys for children at the orphanages. Little things, like wooden boats or swords. My favourite was making plush toys they could hold close at night; soft and warm, with a core of fragrant herbs to soothe them.

I also made toys for Dravanian children sometimes, when I visit my dragon friends. The dragonets were especially curious about airships one day, bothering a poor knight who just wanted to deliver supplies. He couldn't understand them, so I translated and he thought it was quite cute. Children were children, even if they were dragons. He let me have some scrap to make the trio each a toy airship of their own and they flew off with them immediately, tossing them into the air and letting them fall deep into the Sea of Clouds before chasing them.

I could use something to decorate my horns, but doesn't cover them. The 'aesthetic' will be the night sky, filled with sparkling stars.

And if it wouldn't cause offense, I would like to incorporate something Lucian into the decorations somehow. Your family is important to me. It would feel wrong not to acknowledge that in some way.

So far I've only truly seen simple blades used as a target for teleporting, and even that was very impressive to me. To hear that you can do all of these other things as well is very, very cool and makes me a little bit jealous! I love hitting targets with projectiles, but being limited by my ammunition is frustrating lol It's part of why I favour magic.

Yes, I spoke to Ardbert of it before. At home I never felt guilty because it always provided information that would help me, and was obvious it would help me in some way. The Echo was also common enough that a majority of people have an awareness of it.

Here, it has felt... Very invasive. It feels wrong, like it's something dirty. I don't know how to control it, but I know it can be controlled. I have been working on keeping my soul from reaching out to others since that's the only thing I can think of that could help prevent visions, but it is painful. Hemera loves so deeply. When someone around me is sad she wants to reach out and comfort them. To fight against the nature of your soul is a difficult thing, but I'm not sure what else to do. I will keep trying to figure something out.

While I'm sure there is a lot I could say about that, I suddenly find my mind filled with colourfully uncharitable thoughts so numerous I can't decide on any in particular.

i ask bc elemental magic is rly difficult for me, but when we have flasks to carry it i can do some spellcrafting ahead of time & its pretty useful, and safer for every1. but i dont rly have flasks here so my magics too wild to rly be any good. if we could figure out how 2 make magic flasks that would be a+

omg... do u have pictures of baby dragons bc holy shit that sounds cute too. ive never seen a baby dragon just like full-sized underground dragon monsters lol

ok. if u can send me a couple pics of u, like from side and front where the horns r visible and center i can try some stuff. stars... so sparkly ig? maybe silver. yeah i think that would b ok

i cant speak for all of us but i dont think any1 would find it offensive. if u want lucian u could try skulls wings or chrysanthemums
...ya not very wedding-friendly lol

i think u would like the shield of the just. its uses life to power itself for offense but uses magic to heal on defense. using it is kind of a cool balancing act between the two. that 1 i can show u if u want, i have it here. wait and have u never seen the armiger fully activated? its pretty awesome. it looks waaaay better with all the royal arms but i can do the baby version rn

i cant see one of us getting mad @ u for the echo memories, so at least ur safe with it, but idk. be careful i guess. some1 who doesn't know u could freak out and try 2 hurt u for something like that, & i know u can kick ass but echos kinda leave u vulnerable too right? so yeah maybe dont tell ppl if it happens unless u know theyll b cool about it. at least until ur back on ur feet after.

huh?

oh

shit

hey can u do me a favour and just forget i said that thing cool ok thx

Are the flasks themselves enchanted in some way, or do they simply need to be made of a specific material? In theory it shouldn't be difficult.

I made a figurine of Midgardsormr as a dragonet. I will fetch it for pictures. One moment.

[ She takes a few pictures of the clay figurine she sculpted of the Father of Dragons (in his baby form), painted with careful accuracy and given glass eyes that look quite realistic.

She then also sends along a picture of her horns from the front and side, camera held out at a distance with one hand while the other pulls her hair away from the horn she's focusing on. Then she sends along another picture of her horns from behind (clearly taken for her by Ardbert, as there are limits to even her flexibility), hair pulled up and away from her horns to better show the way they flare outward. ]

I was thinking of making small crystals from glass to create a sparkling effect. I'll likely be doing that regardless, then sewing them into my skirt along with aetherially conductive thread.

Chrysanthemums are lovely. I have some in my garden. They symbolize 'honesty', and would go well with thistles. Ishgardian flowers and Lucian flowers. I will come up with something, thank you.

I'm not sure I understand. By 'life' are you referring to one's vigour?

If I am entirely honest I don't actually know much about the armiger. I know:
» you can teleport using it
» you can put things in it like my inventory
» you can share it with people
» it has very cool weapons ?
» it is an inheritance

What do you mean by 'fully activated'?

I have never been attacked whilst having a vision. It is something I've never considered before. Do you think anyone here would hurt me? Should I let them, if they do? It may make them feel better. The Echo takes control away from them, and harming me may give them back that sense of control.

I do have a strong history of forgetting things.

I'll be sure not to bring it up, Noct.

ill ask dad or cor about materials but the enchantment comes from us not the flasks so no worries about that part.

o rite thats a dragon in ur world. lol i had a moment of ??? bc i expected giant snake. thats rly cute tho. i wish eos had baby dragons, we have wyverns & some other similar monsters but its not the same...

ok i can work w/ that. no promises on how good itll look but ill try to do something that fits

honesty huh... thats a little different. is that for a specific colour? in lucis we have 2 that i know. white for truth til death (so thats ur honesty, but the death part is a rly big deal), thats the national flower. gold is for the lucis caelum line, its used 4 royal stuff, like the crests
that is p much the extent of my knowledge about flower symbology. oh bsides sylleblossoms but theyre not lucian

i guess vigors a way to put it. energy, health, w/e. using the crystals magic takes a lot & if u don't balance it properly it can kill u. so let magic regenerate b4 u run out, dont push too many limits, chug those ethers, thats how it normally goes for us. royal arms r like that but with life not magic. theres a learning curve, had 2 figure out how fast each one took me out & how fast my body healed after. like omg the first time i warped w/ the shield i hit a whole pack of voretooths and almost died on the spot, i thought iggy was gonna have a heart attack lol. the arms are awesome but great power @ a great price if u get me

thats pretty much spot on w/ the armiger yeah. by fully activated i mean like if we channel power in a pinch we can call all the weapons in the armory out at once and send them out 2 attack alongside us or act as shields, stuff like that. prompto got a bunch of photos h/o

[After a minute of digging around he sends a couple of photos.]

dad & i think ardyn can use w/e weapons they have but mine usually only works w/ the royal arms

"should i let them" what the hell kind of question is that r u 4 real?? gods you probably are. the answer is OF COURSE NOT if some1 tries to hurt u, u punch them in the teeth

omg omfg i didnt mean THAT sorry bad phrasing

Depending on what the enchantment is, it may be possible to enhance the efficacy of them if I were to carve geometries into flasks crafted of aetherically conductive metals.

Midgardsormr is not just a dragon, he is the Father of Dragons, king of kings, and guardian deity of Silvertear Falls.

His planet, the Dragonstar, was laid to waste by a weapon sent by yet another unknown world in our universe. His seven children were yet unborn, and so he took his eggs and fled — he flew the void of space tirelessly until he came upon my planet. He had once been known for his brilliant, fiery mane, but his journey took so many years that the the fire burned out.

He deemed my star safe for his children, and in return for sheltering him, Hydaelyn formed a pact with Midgardsormr. He would be a protector of the realm, and She would safely harbour his children. Thus, the dragons came to be.

Near thirty years ago now, his physical body perished in a battle defending Silvertear Lake from an imperial invasion. 'The Battle of Silvertear Skies', where he led the Dravanian Horde in a fight against the Garlean empire. There was an airship — a dreadnaught — named the Agrius that led the aerial assault. It was large... Large enough to hold a town within it.

Midgardsormr was even larger. He coiled around the Agrius like a python, strangling it. When the ship finally exploded it ended up killing him. His corpse is still twined around the Agrius even in death, and serves as a reminder of both the reality of gods and the strength of the empire.

I eventually met him, of course. His body was ruined but his soul was intact. He roused from his slumber when I went to investigate his corpse, and was not best pleased. He tried very hard to kill me, then stripped me of Mother's Blessing, then took the form of a dragonet and formed a covenant with me, intent on observing my deeds and judging my worth.

Gods he was such an arsehole. Never would give answers when I wanted them, but always had something snarky and cryptic to say when I didn't. While traveling within my soul, or wherever it was he slotted himself, he was slowly regenerating his energy. He fell silent after the Dragonsong War, and remained that way until the enemy that destroyed his home came to Eorzea.

It was very difficult. It would have been impossible without his help. At one point I was trapped within a binding prism and facing certain death... There suddenly there Midgardsormr was, no longer a dragonet but the Father of Dragons, bursting through the rift and crushing my prison in his jaws. He had used up all of his regained energy in order to protect me, sending him shortly thereafter into hibernation.

For Midgardsormr, a short nap is the equivalent of a mortal's lifetime. I will likely never see him again.

Even in sleep, however, he still continued to watch out for me and my friends. When his enemy later trapped us in the void of a collapsing rift, suddenly Hraesvelgr appeared. He bore Cid, Alpha, and I to safety after. His father had spoken to him from within dreams, telling him to come to my aid and the great wyrm obliged.

Hraesvelgr is one of the First Brood — one of the first seven dragons born upon my world.

Hraesvelgr, the White Wyrm.
Nidhogg, the Black Wyrm. (Deceased.)
Tiamat, the Dusk Wyrm.
Bahamut, the Dawn Wyrm. (Deceased.)
Ratatoskr, the Curious Wyrm. (Deceased.)

I know nothing of the remaining two, save for that they are still alive. I hope I am able to meet them one day.

My apologies — I am quite fond of the Dravanians. I find them much easier to understand than people, even when the elder dragons speak so cryptically.

White chrysanthemums are loyalty, devotion, and honesty. Violet blooms represent the unbearable pain of lost love. [ Take a wild guess at which she has more of in her garden. ] 'Truth til death' is a lovely meaning, though perhaps not quite fitting at a wedding where the groom has already died.

What do sylleblossoms mean?

Oh, I understand that. It is a precarious line to stay balanced upon in combat. As a Dark Knight I cloak my blade in stygian flames and empower myself with eldritch arts, all fueled by my aether. If I am not careful to balance my aether reserves and my vitality there is a risk of entropic backlash that I've heard can severely wound the soul.

It is incredibly fun. Especially when particularly obnoxious civilians are utterly horrified by my dark arts. I've had a few disrespectful men look like they shat their pants. 🤣

Noct, that looks super cool!!!!! Ardyn can do that too?????

In that situation I would deserve it. Besides, I can take a punch or two, or twenty. Also don't punch teeth, Noct — they can cut your flesh and cause awful infections. Aim for the nose, or the jaw instead. A proper punch can knock someone out cold.

Your phrasing was all right! I was just trying to make a joke. I should have used an emoji 😋

idk how our magic would mesh, we might have to experiment w/ it a bit. its power can be enhanced with more energy or consuming stuff & adding it to the spell, so maybe?

o shit since ur all aether beefed up i wonder what like 1 of ur scales would do to a spell flask. is that creepy?? is that like adding fingernails or something

[Now excuse him as he goes silent for a while because that sure was a long one she just sent.]

damn thats a story and a half. he sounds rly cool, & you did like a million things back home didn't u?? how did u find time to breathe, i thought i was busy lol

i think we'd all be more chill w/ bahamut if he was more hands on like that. or like shiva maybe, at least putting the effort in to talk to us

maybe midgardsormr (gods thats a mouthful) will show up here or something & u can see him again that way. thatd be cool

sylleblossoms mean sincerity, & "a heart that doesnt give up". makes sense for a flower that crossed continents and survived as many wars as it has for 2000 years

lmao damn THAT sounds fun too. im calling it now- 1 day, tag team, we make someone cry w/ murdermagic. itd be gr8

im pretty sure ardyn can do the full armiger yeah. ive never seen it but if me & dad can do it, he should be able to

u wouldn't deserve it sym. anyway its just a phrase not actual advice. gladio says punching the throat is good too

Aether is just energy, and arcanima directs and shapes that energy into what you need. If the energy of your enchantment comes in contact with the flask upon activation, a geometry should in theory have an effect. Alternatively I could stuff a portion of my aether in a geometry and see if that boosts the power.

My scales are something between bone and fingernail in structure. I don't find it creepy. Au Ra scales are very durable, and traditionally are used for reinforcing things. Personally I make daggers and jewelry from mine. I actually made a dagger for Somnus, and saw him teleport using it. It was cool.

If you can find out the materials and shape of the flasks, along with any other requirements, I can make a few fairly easily.

If you or Dad want to try using my scales for anything you are always welcome to ask. I have more than enough to share.

I didn't really have much time. My life has always been spent keeping busy. Someone always needs the Warrior of Light. There is always a war, or a Primal, or looming calamity. Spare moments were always spent training. I would feel guilty if ever I was idle.

'There is no rest for the righteous.'

I'm used to traveling between nations and continents and worlds on a whim. When I think of how trapped I am here it makes me feel like I'm dying. It is a very slow and unproductive death. I don't know what I would do without Ardbert. 💏 He is stronger than be, but I am more powerful. Our spars are satisfying.

Oh! Hraesvelgr was the original Shiva's lover. She was a normal mortal woman and they fell in love, but because mortal lifespans are so short she begged him to consume her so their souls would be forever entwined.

So he ate her. And her soul is still with him, guiding him.

That is a lovely meaning! I know there is no shortage of sylleblossoms here. It's nice to know the meaning they hold.

My murdermagic is aspected to Darkness, so it may make people uncomfortable. I also don't have a large enough sword yet, unfortunately. My Darkside has been very restless within me, having none of their usual outlets. I summon them sometimes just to talk. Maybe you can meet them someday. If I get a proper sword we can all team up as a trio. ⚔️⚔️⚔️

I also have some of the Dreadwyrm's aether remnants within me, and am able to summon a Demi-Bahamut to fight alongside me for short bursts. I've avoided summoning it because I didn't want to freak anyone out.

And he has never shown me??? 😠😠

The best place to punch is an uppercut to the gut, at the solar plexus. It knocks all the breath out of them if you do it right. But usually if I'm in a position where I need to punch someone I could also kick them in the balls, so I do that instead. It's super effective. 💯

bone & scale usually duplicates the spell when its cast, or adds special effects like stop or death i think? wait not death uhhh. curse? that sounds right. im rly out of practice, its been almost a year and we experimented a lot at camp so a lot of the time we didn't find out what it did until the next day. if i had iggys notes maybe id know 4 sure

if i can get flasks we can play around with it. something 2 do anyway

i would go crazy if downtime couldn't happen. idk even like an hour fishing in the morning while iggy's makin breakfast was enough 2 get me through the bad days, it didnt rly serve a purpose it just helped me relax. ppl arent machines we can't go 4ever. u should get new hobbies while u have time to explore it (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ

ate her???? like not as a failytale but for real?? wtf that wild. i guess love rly does know no bounds.

shivas always been an astral afaik on eos but she pretended 2 b a messenger for luna. idk if it was just to guide her or also to hide, bc niflheim had killed her body a long time ago. shes so cool, i rly like shiva... she loves ifrit, but since that asshole made him a daemon she asked me to kill him so hed be free, they cant rly be together like they wanted either

kind of sad, shivas across the universe having kinda tragic love stories... i hope 1 somewhere is alive & happy, geez

is darkside like another person inside u?

[Not that long ago that would have been a much, much stranger question to ask. Weird how getting close to Pyra has skewed his view on such things.]

anyway i wouldnt mind seeing either, i dont think id freak out. at least if i knew it was coming, idk how my dumb trauma brain handles surprise darkness these days lol

i mean its ardyn he probably didnt even think about it, or hed be like ohhhh but my power is so terrible and evilllll i am darkness and sad do not compliment me i cannot possibly be cool (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ

lmao remind me not 2 piss u off i like my balls as they are

A Dualcast effect, or a detrimental status upon the target just from a bit of scale? If it works I can give all my smaller shed scales to you.

Ardbert enjoys fishing. 🎣 I have never cared for it. Sitting so still makes me feel antsy. If I get hungry for fish I just catch them with my magic.

I don't expect to go forever. Just until I'm no longer needed. Then I can die and join my loved ones in the Lifestream until my soul is reborn. Until then, I will keep going. If I stop to rest it would be hard to get back up again.

I have been improving my sewing and culinary skills, and continuing my medical studies. Does sex count as a hobby?

Yes, he ate her whole. I don't know if there was a ritual involved beyond that. Hraesvelgr actually uses many of Shiva's abilities. Many of his descendants also have ice abilities. It's nice to see. I think it was not such a bad ending for Saint Shiva, as her soul is content where it is.

Shiva is so cool, is she? ❄️ It's strange to think of a Shiva in love with an Ifrit. A dear friend was the catalyst for the most recent Primal version of Shiva. Ysayle used her crystal to transform into Shiva. She was wonderful, and certainly not in love with Ifrit.

Somewhat. Every Dark Knight has a Darkside, consisting of the natural darkness ever person has within them. It is made up of not just of all your negative or repressed feelings, but also your strongest emotion. In Dark Knights our strongest emotions are love; a desire to protect. The rest is usually incidental.

And usually one's Darkside is not conscious, or capable of manifesting physical form. Mine stole aether from me and possessed a corpse, and was so fed up with how I put myself last that they tried to kill me in an effort to protect me. I defeated them and they've been better since.

So while my Darkside — Esteem, or Fray — is not technically another person, they are separate from me. They are me, but not me? It's weird. My mentor doesn't even know what to make of it.

Esteem tends to manifest in my form. Like a twin, I suppose.

Oh gods that's exactly it. He's done that with you, too?

He is so focused on the negatives of his condition that he is afraid to find any positives in it. It is infuriating! Darkness is only as evil as you allow it to be.

I learned to control my Darkside and now I can use it to protect others. I can create shields of shadow, or take a killing blow and possess my corpse for a handful of minutes. Unfortunately I will die for real if my walking corpse isn't healed enough to sustain life again within that timeframe.

Other defensive combat disciplines draw an enemy's attention to them by aggravation — I draw their attention by scaring them so horrifically that I become the focus of their panicked ire. There is something immensely satisfying in wrecking swathes of enemies using only the darkness of my pent-up emotions.

If nothing else, I imagine he could adapt many of my shielding techniques to work with his abilities.

the extra ingredients are like a catalyst, they don't add the effect so much as create a path kinda? or like adding spice to a thing ur cooking. it doesnt change the ingredients, just the flavour if that makes sense

like if u use a potion in elemancy the spell is still a big fun explosion but now the "spice" is that it heals u

man i think i would die if i couldnt fish, i spend almost as much money on the fishing vr as i do w/ kings knight lol. should drag ardbert 1 day maybe

wouldnt u leave behind a lot of ppl not in the lifestream or w/e too tho? like the ones who call u family now, or ardbert if u can get him home. someday the world will b saved enough & someone else can be the warrior of light, & u can be happy and free somewhere

if we're not allowed 2 give up ur not either

so ppl can turn into primals, not just summon them? is that w/ a special connection to them or something

idk if i can rly get the darkside stuff... its not like anything we have on eos that isn't daemon related so it cant b the same. but if u ever bring them out ill keep that in mind i guess? i like the idea of it coming from positive feelings, its cheesy but a good kind of cheesy

ardyn has so many issues w/ the daemon powers i can kinda get why he would worry. i mean its only ever hurt him or ppl he cares about rite? so it cant just b as easy as finding the positive. he says hes a monster so of course he would have issues with monster powers.

its shitty and selfish but im kind of relieved... idk if i could even handle watching him use that power. i saw it 1 time and i cant exactly UNsee it, it was freaky & i was still in a rly bad place, so it left an equally bad impression. like obv i would never say that 2 his face but he assumes it anyway. but at least he has crystal powers like the rest of the family

maybe theres a way to mix both together so itd feel less like a daemon power and more like his? if that makes any sense

So the effects already exist as potential, and specific ingredients can activate different potential results?

I think Ardbert would like that. I hadn't realized there was a fishing game. I think it would good for him to try something relaxing in VR.

When your game was released I had the locals adapt the equipment so I could try it with him. The death mechanic brought back bad memories, so unfortunately we haven't touched it since. We quite enjoyed it until that point though! You did very well with the designs.

When I die, Mother won't have the strength to support another Warrior of Light like me. That is why, in the future where I died, all hope was lost for many years. If I cannot end the threat to my worlds before I die there will be no other who can.

I cannot protect every life, but I can protect their futures. These beautiful worlds that yet remain... I will safeguard them until my dying breath and beyond it.

And so I will keep fighting. Not for duty, or for Mother, but for those I have lost and those I can yet save. For the people I love.

I will never be free, but that is my choice.

Turning oneself into a Primal is less common, though it is possible. Aside from Shiva, there was King Thordan and his Knights of the Round. If enough people believe in you, and you have enough power to fuel the transformation, you can become a Primal. Ysayle had followers who believed she was Shiva's reincarnation, so she became Shiva. The Archbishop's knights believed he was as a god king, so his form was based upon King Thordan.

I could transform into a Primal, if I chose. There are enough who put their faith in me as the Warrior of Light and Warrior of Darkness, and I am not lacking in the power to.

While not exactly a Primal in the traditional sense, I always have the offer available to take my rightful mantle as the Fae King, Titania. Doing so would transform me into one of the fae, based upon Titania's concept.

My Darkside is...

The first time I allowed my inner darkness to fuel me I heard a woman screaming in pain. I did not know her voice. Fray (who I believed just my mentor at the time) told me that was the person I needed to protect most.

I thought I was losing my mind, honestly. I kept losing myself to bloodlust. I would black out sometimes, and was having trouble remembering things. I kept trying to commune with the abyss within me. Whenever I did I would hear those pained screams. I recognized the voice, but could not place it...

Eventually Fray revealed themselves to be Esteem — my Darkside — and we fought.

It was then that I realized the voice I heard from the abyss was my own. All the pain and anger I repress. All the agony and sorrow. The things I shove aside so I can push forward. Those are the things my Darkside is made of, all held together by my burning desire to protect.

Only after accepting that this darkness was a part of me was I able to control it. Now instead of fighting against me Esteem will fight alongside me.

Even if the Darkness of the Scourge is not the same... I wish Ardyn would understand that it will only ever be as monstrous as he allows it to become. He is stronger than he believes, and with family by his side, supporting him, he may falter but he will never fall.

If there is a way to merge the two magicks, it would only be possible once he has some degree of mastery of them both separately. A reliable understanding of what you're working with is necessary for success.

Perhaps I should tell him about Blue Mages one day. They are mages of the New World (the recently discovered western continent) who learn the spells of monsters by killing them and absorbing the aether left behind. The concept is wonderful, and I hope to learn it one day. To use Thousand Needles on a Morbol, or Bad Breath on a Cactuar would be so satisfying.

And it isn't selfish, Noct. It's a normal response, given the circumstances. It would be more concerning if you didn't find it unnerving.

Is it the appearance of the 'daemonic' abilities that bothers you, or the sight of Ardyn using them?

pretty much yeah. elemancy is kind of a weird science thats hard to explain, for me its as much instinct as technique. i kinda like it tho? its relaxing

huh thats weird about the death mechanic... it wasnt designed to be rly distressing or anything. maybe theres a way to tweak it so u could play? i can talk 2 pyra, i bet she could code something in if u know a way for it to be better. its supposed to be fun all the way

that doesnt sound like much of a choice 2 me, but the only one who can make it us u i guess. i still hope theres a way tho, 4 both of u. so you can do whatever you want with your life

thats a strange way to make gods lol. kind of cool but also kind of freaky. so do u have to choose it or can it just happen? bc that would be rough

idk if it would b the same or similar for ardyn, but accepting darkness is probably gonna b a long game if it happens at all. if i was gonna guess the big part would be hes scared of absorbing the wrong memory & going all evil mode like he's supposed to on eos. like if its just a thing that happens what if he does it by mistake? then not only is he stealing memories from some1 but they might die or become a daemon, and if he does it w/ the wrong person and THEY were secretly evil or people-hating like ifrit and ardyn becomes more like them, and less like him as a trade off

makes sense that he couldnt do both together before learning separately. same concept as warping in combat. if i was bad at either i'd probably warp right onto swords all the time lol

[And that only happens when he's confused!! Definitely!]

blue mages sound cool. i mean idk if ardyn would have a GOOD response to hearing about them but the context def makes sense for it. we kinda had a talk about uhhhh ~memories~ like that and hes still not in a good place 4 that shit based on that. put a pin in it maybe??

im gonna be honest... i don't actually know which one it is. ive fought lots of daemons, so i got used to seeing them all the time, and they didn't scare me like they used to bc we were strong enough to take care of it. but just b4 i came back here i had to make it thru a nif base on my own, without my power. asshole did something 2 block them so all i had was the ring, and there was no way to escape. so it was hours, probably more like days of running and hiding w/ no one to help, and he was watching the whole time, there were daemons and magitek troopers trying 2 kill me everywhere & the ring wasnt making my life any easier either. by the time izunia got to me just the sight of that spooky daemon smoke had me on a hair trigger

ive never seen him in daemon-mode except through a vision in the crystal so... maybe it is just the daemon thing

Arcanima is not dissimilar in that regard. It's just maths. Geometry, specifically. Even if we understand that creating a geometry with specific angles, ratios, and radii will cause a particular effect, we don't necessarily understand why.

It is wonderful and finicky. For many years my Carbuncle was unable to vocalize any sound, and it was only a few years ago that I discovered it was due to a line in my summoning geometry being off by three degrees.

Being unable to interact with the world around us brought back very visceral memories of trauma. An option where the 'dead' party member is instead placed under a Heavy spell so intense it renders them naught but dead weight may be a reasonable compromise for those with sensory trauma? It would allow for continued stimulus without otherwise providing any advantage.

Shiva and King Thordan were done with intent by each catalyst. Phoenix was unintentional, but a very unique situation.

Titania is purposeful, though it can be done unintentionally. I gathered all the relics to unlock the castle doors, and the ritual to become the Fae King was to do just that. I hadn't know about this. If not for Feo-Ul I would have been forced to ascend, and am eternally grateful to my lovely branch for their aid.

I believe so long as you retain your physical flesh and your will you cannot be forcefully turned into a Primal, though I don't know for certain.

Ardyn can absorb memories?

[ She needs a hot second to parse that one. Yikes. ]

If you want to know if it is darkness in general or Ardyn's darkness I could show you some of my abilities.

Those moments when everyone is against you and you can do naught but hide and flee... I cannot imagine being without allies or magic, and having naught but a cursed ring for reassurance. I'm so sorry, Noct.

i guess the universal truth is just that magic is sometimes WEIRD and there's no fixing that lol

heavy... idk that spell. is it kinda like petrification? bc something in between could work. like maybe some small movement could b possible but u cant affect any1 in the game in a pos or neg way, 0 dmg until ur healed. i think thatd be doable, its just programming numbers. lots of games have accessibility options, id like it if everyone could play kings knight in a way theyre comfy with u know?

geez im glad you didnt have to become a fae anything. i dont know much about that kind of thing outside of fairy tales but im pretty sure every1 knows not to mess with fae!

[And- wait. Shit. Double shit.]

i

idk why i thought u knew that already

sorry gods uh. u should ask him, he might tell u. or i can ask him. i gotta apologize, man ive been rly good about keeping all those secrets straight jkfhdskf heck

ill think about the offer... dont want 2 make things awkward if i cant handle it. nothing against u im just kind of a big mess lately lol

yeah.... thx. i guess it could have been worse, if i didnt have the ring id have been rly alone. even if its cursed its still my family kinda? like... dads soul was with me. it wasnt perfect but it kept me alive, and id rather have that than nothing
