HOW LONG HAD THIS FEELING CONSUMED HER? : THE YEARNING HAD STRAINED 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐎'𝐒 HEART UNLIKE ANYTHING ELSE ... golden heart beating demandingly against her ribcage, wanting the confession to slip past lush dark lips countless times, ... sarastus was furthest thing from selfish, BUT WITH EVERY STOLEN GLANCE, EVERY ACCIDENTAL TOUCH : all she wanted to do was to have him. ( he has brought the warrior of light on her knees. )
BOTH EVER SO OBSERVANT, : EVERY LOOK, &. SUBTLE TOUCH HAVING A LANGUAGE OF ITS' OWN. how long they have spoken sentences through mere gazes &. touches alone? ... 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐈𝐓 𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐘 𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐒, the need growing &. growing, until it swallowed them whole. &. yet, when both were consumed, NEITHER FOUGHT BACK. 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐃 : for once allowing themselves to be greedy, to allow these feelings to show for one another. ... &. the moment leads them here, her back against a wall of the room, his own leaning over her's : lips dancing in a passionate rhythym. ( DO YOU TASTE IT? THE FEELINGS EMBEDDED INTO THE KISS? ) his hands felt as they cupped her cheeks, her own hands placed atop them. she doesn't want the moment to end, she wants to remain here with him, JUST THE TWO OF THEM SHARING THIS MOMENT OF PRIVACY. yet, need for air comes. they pull pack, but 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 to stray too far from each other ... as if fearing this was a mere dream, &. the other would disappear. her grey hues meets with him, cheeks radiating warmth! @feyras + estinien ' i’m well aware this should remain unspoken . ' his voice silent, &. there is an amused hum that follows the statement. 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐀 𝐃𝐔𝐓𝐘 𝐓𝐎 𝐅𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇 : &. whilst both understood this, neither was willing to bury this feeling shared, FINALLY FREE!
❝ perhaps that is for the best. ❞ SO LET IT BE THEIR LITTLE SECRET, these actions of affection, this love of theirs. ( little did she know, how hard it would be to resist him now, when she knows exactly what his gaze means. ) &. she takes the advantage of this remaining privacy, his closeness she can revel in. eyes steal a glance at his lips, OH, YOU MAKE IT SO OBVIOUS HERO! ❝ we should have another moment, before anyone starts to wonder where we are. ❞

REMNANT OF THE RAYS OF SUN, : RADIATING DIMLY WITHIN THIS DARKNESS OF THE NIGHT. she strays further from the camp, every step guiding her closer towards him. 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐍 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐒 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐎𝐎𝐍, a desperate attempt to catch it. her desire to understand, to aid ... it is embedded into her heart, her soul. this path she has stumbled upon, one she can not return from : one she does not even want to fall back from, despite what even she might claim to herself.
FOOTSTEPS SURELY CATCHED, : SHE HAS NOT EVEN MADE AN ATTEMPT TO SNEAK, ... would that have even made any difference? 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑 𝐆𝐔𝐀𝐑𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐋𝐘 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐃 𝐔𝐏. his, especially. what happened today, the way he was made a target, it had raised questions. &. despite his calm appearance, HER HEART REVEALED THERE WAS SOMETHING MORE TO IT : an inkling, she could not shake, a feeling that was caught by the atmosphere.
❝ do you want to talk about today? ❞ AN OFFER IS MADE, honeyed tune spoken into the atmosphere. @abyssell ' i don't talk about my feelings with anyone. ' ... 𝐀 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐎 𝐖𝐀𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐃, but it does not cause her to back down from her cause. she takes a seat beside him on the ground, dimly glowing hues set on his features. ❝ i know, ... ❞ SHE REVEALS, &. one might think she'd leave it at that. ❝ but i am here, if you ever want to try. ❞

WITH GRACEFUL EASE she leaps backwards, landing feet first beside him. @dawnsung + cathan ' it's noble of you to come galloping to the rescue.

STORY. THE WORLD THAT WAS BEFORE.
LONG AGO, when ‘ etheirys, the star’ was whole, a planet rich in aether, one of the two fundamental forms of energy that make up the universe. there resided AMAUROTINES, beings also rich with aether. immortal beings, who held the power to weave anything into existence, … SARASTUS being one of those very ancients. though her true name spoken only by those close to her, ———— for she held the title of AZEM, THE TRAVELER, ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUN &. LIGHT. she held the fourteenth seat of the convocation. azem was a person of action, a reckless thing. she often solved problems without seeking council, causing headaches amongst her colleagues. but she was respected for her skill, &. her unending kindness. the world was perfect … not lacking any adventure
( for she’d surely find some. ) &. that is how her life was filled, journeying, aiming to explore &. aid those in need, her friends by her side ———— but there was a dreadful horror looming, waiting for the perfect moment to strike … &. when it did? it struck hard, &. without mercy.
THE FINAL DAYS, … death &. despair everywhere. a calamity, that threatened the fate of the star. the convocation decided to summon a god, zodiark, &. sacrifice half of the surviving population to achieve this. &. the sacrifice was too much, &. Azem openly opposed the idea, fought against it. but when the rest of the convocation was headset on proceeding, Azem left her seat vacant. an act that the former allies considered defection. she ran away, deeper into the broken world ———— dear friends sacrificed, &. one friend abandoned to remain on a side she couldn’t associate herself with. SHE WAS ALONE, FIGHTING TO STAY ALIVE IN WHAT WAS LEFT OF THE WORLD. she did not give an answer even to her former mentor, the former ancient who used to hold the seat of Azem … Venat. the woman who gathered followers who opposed the summoning of zodiark, &. in the end, SUMMONED FORTH &. BECAME HYDAELYN HERSELF. the fight between the two gods ended in the sundering : splitting the world into fourteen shards, different worlds.
AND SHE WAS SPLIT, a feeling she could not even describe, … how could one, when your soul is torn? regret filled her, for she was meeting this fate alone.
( oh, what wouldn’t she give to be by her dear friend’s side. ) everything had been so loud, the atmosphere in the air made hot by the flames &. destruction all around, the pain sharp deep within her, she could hear her heart beat rapidly! ———— &. suddenly, it was all silent. DARKNESS TOOK HER, &. KEPT HER. it was all so quick … though these memories would hide away, deep within.
STORY. THE NEVER - ENDING JOURNEY.
A VOICE SO FAMILIAR, YET SO DISTANT … ‘ hear, feel, think. ’ a mantra that echoed in the sea of stars she found herself to be gazing at. warmth filled her being, a tingling sensation, AS IF SHE HERSELF WAS FILLED WITH LIGHT. ———— but within a blink, she was somewhere else. she found herself laying on the ground, within the forests of gridania. she, SARASTUS, a name that she felt to reside within, it felt like it belonged … when little next to nothing else remained. somehow she knew so much of what surrounded her, but little next to nothing about herself. HOW WAS SHE HERE, WHERE DID SHE COME FROM, WHAT WAS HER PURPOSE? ———— THE LATTER IGNITED A SPARK! … a yearning to explore, to experience adventures! stange, she didn’t feel any fear, any doubt when she marched forward, … a lance behind her back. ( oh, what awaits you. )
&. ADVENTURES WERE CERTAIN TO FIND HER PATH, … one could wonder did she seek them more than they sought her? SHE AIDED THOSE IN NEED, THE WHO SWEPT IN JUST AT RIGHT MOMENT. hydaelyn had her champion : &. it was her. SHE WAS BLESSED WITH THE ECHO, an ability to see into peoples’ past, among other qualities. ( she prefers not to mention the amount of times she fainted during the first experiences of the ability. ) ———— she was starting to make a name for herself, ‘ the slayer of eikons, primals, &. all foes! ’ … scions of the seventh dawn were the ones to welcome her to their ranks ; a secret society developed to serve the realm in tasks beyond others. ( BUT THEY WERE NOT THE ONLY ONES WHOS’ INTEREST SHE CAPTURED! ) no, … for the ascians, ones who serve zodiark &. aim to bring calamity to the worlds, to make the world whole again, … they had a keen eye for hydaelyn’s champion.
COUNTLESS TIMES SHE HAS SAVED THE WORLD, hell, she has saved even another reflection of one,
‘ the first. ’ it is there, where she encountered an old friend, now an enemy. ———— it was then when the flashbacks struck. flashbacks of someone’s memories, THE ECHO FORCING THEM TO FLOOD IN. but they were from her perspective, … she was not witnessing the flashback as an observer as always before. it made her dizzy, &. when her friends called out to her, she tasted salt. tears had streamed from her eyes, without even realizing. SHE HAD PEERED INTO HER OWN PAST.
THE CONFLICT IS A TALE OF ITS’ OWN, … only adding to the ever - growing list. SHE HAS �� SLAYED EIKONS, PRIMALS, ASCIANS &. GODS. a force unlike any other. yet her tale is far from over, ...
VERSES.
𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄 𝐎𝐍𝐄. : set on various timelines throughout the events of final fantasy xiv. my preferred timelines are shadowbringers &. endwalker.
𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄 𝐓𝐖𝐎. : set on the timeline of the star, when the world was whole. here, Sarastus has taken the seat of Azem, part of the convocation of fourteen. as Azem, The Traveler : tasked with exploring the larger world of etheirys &. becoming intimate with its myriad peoples &. cultures.
