Haunting the Halls

Lord Aramis Silmontaix was home...

He wandered through the halls of the Silmontaix estate, his hand running over the stone and wood that made up the walls surrounding him. It felt so familiar and yet so foreign...It had been three long cycles since he had roamed this place, as a living man, and now he felt like a spectre haunting it...So much had changed, and the people that worked here looked at him like he would dissapear if they blinked. He could not see them, but he could feel their gaze...

None of their opinions mattered though...not when compared to hers. Elphanse...His wife and he had talked some after his return and he felt good about things...But they still felt so far apart. He had a long way to go...But he could make the trek. He stopped his walking as he found himself outside her door for the third time...His hand graced the door and he extended his senses inwards. He could feel her there...her presence was so familiar and it brought a smile to his face...

Soon...She told him she wished him to be whole, and he could do that. It just took time...He took a step away from her door and moved back down the passageway. Whole...For now, he would have to stay a ghost, haunting the halls...He only hoped that this specter would not ruin the life of this woman...

Just a little longer...

How long had it been since she last heard him stirring in there? Was it safe yet to steal another peek?  It seemed cruel, that the Fury would bring him back to her only to take him again by such basic needs like rest. It had been too long, she thought. For certain, she would open the door and he would be gone again.  

Unable to take it, she cracked the door just a hair right as she heard the man begin to turn.  Quickly she pulled back from the door, not wishing to scare him with how obsessive she was being. Her brow furrowed as she waited several moments before putting an ear to the door once more.  

‘What is wrong with you?’ She mentally chided herself.

Aramis had come home. Why was this not happy?

When at last I deemed mineself ready to truly grieve, to have a moment where I did not try to fill the void he left with other vices and properly deal with mine emotions.  That is when he showed up….  He has come back from the dead only for me wish to kill him all over.

The Long Road Home

"It has been three cycles since I last set foot in Ishgard...while I cannot see what my country has become, I can sense the change all around me. It has become something new...a Republic...My time as a Knight seemed to be behind me, and I only wish to return home...to my wife...to my children...But as I walk through these streets, I feel the road to that destination still spans even further still...

Will I earn their forgiveness, or will I live the rest of my days in solitude...Endless vigil over a world that has moved past me...No matter the destination, I must walk this path. Tis my only way to the home I once knew...How this country has changed...Elphanse...I will make this right, this I swear. Pray, give me the chance...

A Knight must always stand...Never relinquish their ideals nor their blades. They must right the wrongs before them and make amends. I have changed...But I will forever be... a Knight..."

La Fin du Voyage d’Aramis Silmontaix

A candle had long since burned itself down to the final bits of flame, struggling for sustained life in the now faint moonlight. A quill was balanced on her long delicate fingers as her eye scanned the simplistic short note in front of her several times over to assure all was in order.  The heaviness on her heart that she had been trying so hard for the past few sennights to push from her mind weighed more in the early hours where there was little else to distract.  Assuring the words were in order, her gaze flickered to half charred mask sitting on the desk.  If he were here, how he would have made her forget about such formalities entirely… The utter reality of how unfair it all felt that he was not here to hold her hand as she took the final steps was nearly suffocating.  Her mind came back around to the letter that was in front of her, and with a definite shake of her head she put her final signature on it.  First thing with the Sun, she would see to it the House criers had it in their hands it was circulated amongst the Houses and those she saw fit.

“It is with a heavy heart I send news of this matter.  Lord Aramis Silmontaix, Baron of House Silmontaix, returned to the arms of the Fury on the Nineteenth Sun of the Second Umbral Moon in service to the Republic of Ishgard.  In his honor, your presence is requested on 7th Sun at sunset to celebrate his life, to toast to the memories, and join in prayer for his final peace.  

Lady Elphanse Silmontaix”

((OOC:  Aramis Silmontaix, aka Aramis Dumas, aka Draco Noblis, aka @maskedknightofishgard has come to the end of his time in Final Fantasy XIV due to the actual world needing his attention for the foreseeable future.  In true shitlord fashion, we wrote off his character in style.  Consider this one last hurrah for a player who has been a staple in the community since 1.0.  For those who have used him as your antagonist, those who came to know as friends, those he came to know as anything at all…. We are going to send off this beautiful bastard in style.  Come dance on his grave, Sunday evening at 8-9 P.M CST at the Last Vigil.  Come with a story, come for the company, come help me close this chapter in the life of Eao and Aramis on a bittersweet note.))

Aramis Silmontaix Archetype

Your archetype is the Realist.

traits: practical, understanding, honest, brutal, logical, creator, intelligent, sensible, down-to-earth, reasonable

the realist is most commonly used to symbolize the highest possible outcome in a dire situation. they are the ones who have everything planned, and hand out reality checks as if they were pamphlets to those who need them--which, quite honestly, is everyone who isn't a realist. although they can be harsh (brutal truth over merciful), they are nurturers and care more than they let on. realists tend to do things that will lead to the best outcome, and use their knowledge of reading people to manipulate situations and problems in order to get out of a rock and a hard place.

fictional characters that are realists: hermione granger, eddard stark, dana scully, thorin oakenshield, lestrade (from sherlock), leia organa, willow rosenberg

other personality types that go with this: ravenclaw, horned serpent, poseidon, artemis

Alandiel, after what has obviously been a few too many glasses of wine, fixes the man with a coy look. "So, be honest. My cousin makes your ass her property on a nightly basis, right?" ((You know I couldn't help it.))

Aramis’s eye twitches. What was supposed to be bonding time between in-laws turned into Alandiel having a bit too much to drink. Aramis, on his first glass, simply had to sit there in frustrated silence as Eao lost her mind beside him When her laughing died down, the Knight responded. “No.”
