[what. WHAT! is this actually legit...]

oh shit yeah thats the word she used! they aren't real on Eos, they're in storybooks and video games. i played one in an online game for a while

the imperials were OUR version, from niflheim. it was in their base. the beastmen were there though, they were trying to summon a god called garuda

Weird.

I knew there had to be a Garuda! (✧∀✧)/

so

garuda's actually from your world?

["Weird" is definitely the word for... all of this.]

what the hell, there's legit a portal between our worlds in the middle of duscae

There is a Garuda of my world. The Lady of the Vortex.

I told Ardyn that your Hexatheon makes no sense — it has no balance within it. All the fundamental elements save for wind are represented. Either Bahamut should have been of wind, or your Hexatheon should be an Octatheon, with Bahamut having a counter-deity of Darkness to his Light.

That is not the strangest thing I've ever heard.

I don't know about any god of darkness, and garuda doesn't exactly exist in Eos, but we found a statue that resembled her in the base. the nifs were researching it. Ignis said it was a messenger of the winds that was lost to time.

we didn't think much of it but while we were fighting garuda I heard a voice in my head and it was that same messenger forging a covenant with me. when she showed up to help us, they looked a lot alike.

What difference is there between an messenger and an Astral?

talking to the Astrals directly is really painful, not sure most people could survive it even if they could understand the language

Messengers are just what it sounds like- servants of the gods used to send messages from them to the people. they're the counter to the Oracle who speaks to the gods for humans.

...Odd. Primals can speak the same as you or I, or any other mortal.

yeah, that tracks. when Garuda spoke to us she used our language, and it was normal

Astrals have their own language, and it's awful. feels like an earthquake in your head. talking with messengers usually doesn't hurt, so it's safer.

It is fortunate you were not Tempered by her.

That is still very odd. I wonder if the Echo would make such communication painless?

what's "Tempered"?

idk about that, but if our worlds are linked then maybe some of the magic's compatible too. either way I can't recommend it.

When one's will is subjugated by the will of a Primal. They become naught but mindless pawns who seek only to do what their god bids of them.

If something contains a soul, the Echo translates it into language I understand. You could speak in a foreign language to me and I would understand it, and in return you would hear me speak your language.

In short it is a universal translator. My soul understands the intent of the other's, and in turn gifts me with that understanding.

huh. if she tried to do that on us, it didn't work. sure sounds like how the beastmen acted, though, they seemed weirdly devoted.

the pain of talking to Astrals isn't from the language but from the gods themselves. I don't think the echo would change that part by translating.

[Would be nice if it was that easy.]

If she sensed the covenant of another deity upon you she may not have even bothered to try. She may not have bothered to try regardless, as she is the Primal most lacking in, shall we say... sanity.

How strange. If not the language, then their voices? If it is a matter of sound, I would likely be at a severe disadvantage with my horns. If it is a matter of godly influence, the Echo does offer protection against such things.

could be that. I'm very, uh. claimed.

[Maybe one more thing to thank Titan and Ramuh for, if they protected him and his bros from being mind-controlled by a crazy bird-god from another world.]

I'm no expert on it, you'd be better off asking luna or aera. but when I heard it, it was twofold: a huge loud voice like you'd expect from a giant, and a ringing echo in my head. normal echo, obviously, not your kind. either would be pretty bad alone, but together can't be good for anybody long term. anyway that's why Messengers exist
