FFXIV Write Entry #23: What the Future Holds

Prompt: on cloud nine || Master Post || On AO3 (coming in October)

A/N: Massive spoilers for the first half of Dawntrail.

---

It is not until after the ascension of Wuk Lamat and Koana as the new Dawnservants of Tuliyollal, and the first botanists from across the salt arrive with a plethora of seeds and saplings to discover which will thrive in the sapphire shadows of Ja Tiika, that the events of the past moons finally settle in the minds of Bakool Ja Ja.

With hindsight, he is not proud of his actions, even if at the time he believed they were necessary to secure the future of Mamook and her people. He was cowardly and dishonorable, and a fool besides to release Valigarmanda from his prison. Soon enough he must gather the courage to apologize to the men of his retinue for his callousness, to Wuk Lamat for his derision, to the Yok Huy for his arrogance, and await their judgment.

But he will do so with the knowledge that a real man, a real leader, accepts the consequences of his actions.

His mother and a group of their farmers are deep in discussion with the Sharlayan botanists. There are tentative plans in place for which seeds will they need to plant over the coming seasons, observing which will thrive and which will wither and which may end up to invasive for safe cultivation. Bakool Ja Ja the Mighty does not even pretend to understand it; Bakool Ja Ja the Mystic is itching to get his hands on one of those Sharlayan books about aetherology as it relates to agriculture. But today Bakool Ja Ja is needed elsewhere, and his mother smiles at him and has him lean down so she may kiss the cheek of the Mighty and then the Mystic before she returns to the meeting and he leaves the autarch’s palace.

He thinks that his mother has not stopped smiling since the Rite of Ascension ended. He does not remember that meeting room ever sounding so lively. He does not know if the walls of the palace have ever had hope echo through them.

Bakool Ja Ja passes his father on his way through the city streets. The autarch is overseeing repairs to some of the houses, and Zereel Ja nods to him as he walks by, even offering the shadow of a smile. His relationship with his father is awkward, to say the least, but Zereel Ja…Zereel Ja is trying. Bakool Ja Ja is not the only one who must relearn a great many things, and while he loves and resents his father in equal measure for the pressures placed upon him, Zereel Ja acknowledges he has erred and has let go of (most of) his pride, accepting the assistance of the Dawnservants to revitalize Mamook.

He has always had a good relationship with his mother, but the prospect of a healthier one with his father is…odd. Odd, but good.

It is in Skydeep Cenote that he breaks.

Oh, Bakool Ja Ja has broken many times in the past moons, not the least of which was in this very spot before Wuk Lamat and her entourage in revealing the shame of the Mamool Ja. But as he gently, reverently lifts one of the many urns that litter the waters of the cenote and sets it on the stone pier, to be carefully packed for transport to a proper mausoleum, both the Mighty and the Mystic together realize he will never have to place an urn within these waters ever again.

He has the sense to first ensure the urn is safely on the pier, even as his breath rattles in his chest. Then he steps around the crates he has already filled, each with four urns nestled among dried grasses and shredded najool leaves and cloud-soft alpaca wool, and walks to the doors of the inner cenote. He leans against the wall just next to the doors, staring out across the great cavern, and slides down to sit on the floor with a thud. The Mighty gasps for breath and the Mystic’s arm trembles violently.

No more dead brothers and sisters and cousins.

No more lost generations who could have been warriors or artisans or scholars.

No more children unable to escape their eggs, no more potential healthy children forsaken for the infinitesimal chance of a blessing sibling instead.

No more love matches broken for a betrothal between Boonewa and Hoobigo, no more resentful brides and grooms, no more mourning mothers and fathers, no more desperation that surely this egg will make it to maturity, no more wails of grief echoing through their dying city, no more potters having to fill their shelves with funerary urns, no more undertakers processing through Mamook westward to Skydeep escorting wivre-pulled carts rattling with filled urns.

No more no more no more no more no more no more.

The Mystic cannot cry; Boonewa eyes are simply not capable of the action. Hoobigo eyes are, however, and the Mighty weeps enough for them both, even as the Mystic rests his forehead against his brother’s temple. They shake, and hiccup, and cry, and cry, and cry.

For the first time in Bakool Ja Ja’s life, the tears are not from stress or grief.

They are from deep, overwhelming joy.

The past cannot be fixed, and the ghosts of his people’s children will haunt him until his last day. But his people have a future. His people will have happiness, and health, and one day soon, there will be children running through the streets of Mamook. There will be still be sorrow, because sorrow is a part of life, but there will be happiness at last, and laughter, and love, and hope.

Bakool Ja Ja weeps and as he does, his heart lightens until it soars.

Hi! I think I found a typo in this chapter "makes it hard for him to relate to other..." I assume you meant "others"

I hope Gideon's parents don't mess up his childhood anymore than it has been. I think his friends would be able to help him out more than his family :( Maybe Bud should work at the alpaca farm too.

Do you think Gideon chose to open the tent of telepathy himself? Or has Bud been pressuring him into making money from the start? I think it could go either way depending on how the bolo tie really works. He'd still be pressured into stuff in a way though which sucks.

Not a typo actually, it was meant to be Joy trailing off mid-sentence: "makes it hard for him to relate to other [kids]," but she petered out mid sentence and switched to a statement that makes it sound like it's not Gideon who's at fault, it's the other kids ("And honestly, I think most of the children are jealous of his talents"). I might could edit that to make it clearer that that's her trailing off.

Even though she's the more passive parent, and even though she's clearly afraid of Gideon's temper, she's still one of his enablers. And one of the ways that manifests is in blaming other people for Gideon's failings.

Honestly I think establishing the Tent of Telepathy was little of both. There's a mention in the previous chapter of Gideon starring in his dad's car commercials when he was younger; I think that's how he got his start in the spotlight and learned how to weaponize being cute, doing stuff like this:

When he got the mystic amulet, it was a natural progression. First Gideon starts using it for "magic tricks," maybe to impress other kids; next his dad goes "now that's something, can you do one of those tricks in our next commercial?"; next the commercials turn out to be a hit, so Bud gets the idea to do live shows at the dealership—lure people in to see Lil Gideon do magic, then try to sell them cars while they're there.

And so far Gideon's having a blast with it, he's always been pretty comfortable with the commercials because it's just what their family does and doing the magic shows is fun.

But it accelerates from there. At some point, other "tricks" get incorporated into the show, starting with your garden-variety cold reading, then escalating to spying, and that takes over as Gideon's main act. Now he's not just a clever child stage magician, he's a child psychic. The shows become popular enough that it occurs to Gideon's parents that he could make real money off them rather than just using them to advertise cars—and like, Gideon's a kid, making money from performing sounds exciting to him, he sees no downsides.

Maybe Gideon starts getting some serious attention at that point. Maybe a TV station from Portland does a little feel-good news story about this small-town child psychic; maybe he gets invited onto a local talk show; and that's when the idea of the tent of telepathy and/or touring comes up.

At this point, Gideon's probably been around the amulet enough that it's started to corrupt him—now he's getting hungry for the power and influence his new celebrity gives him, now he's the one going to his dad saying he wants to do even more shows and bring in even bigger audiences. But that only speeds things up. Without the amulet, Gideon might have gradually gone down that path by himself; and his dad, certainly, would've kept looking for opportunities for Gideon to perform as a child psychic so long as Gideon still seemed like he was having fun with it.

And that, I think, is the saddest part of it: at the start, Gideon was having fun with it. Bud wasn't thinking "I can make money off my kid," he was thinking "wow, my son has a talent. He could be rich and famous before he's a teenager. If he's really lucky, he might be set to retire before he's an adult and the whole family will be financially comfortable; but then if he wants he could keep on performing as an adult. Think of the possibilities! Sold-out theaters! A permanent residency in Vegas!" And even though Bud acted as Gideon's agent, i figure his mom felt the same way.

A parent whose kid REALLY loves gymnastics might get them a gymnastics coach, send them to contests, and if they keep winning, help them train for the Olympics. A parent whose kid REALLY loves singing might record them singing, put their videos online, start talking to agents about helping their kid record an album if some of their videos go viral. Bud's kid REALLY loved performing for an awed audience and all the attention and admiration it got him, so Bud set up more shows, arranged for him to start touring, got a tent, produced merch...

Kids who eagerly dive into Olympic training for a sport they love often have it take over their lives, and when that dream is passed—you're not in Olympic condition forever—many don't know what to do with the rest of their lives and regret pouring everything into one obsession. Kids who go into the entertainment industry for a talent they love are entering a world where the talent is very frequently abused and exploited and everyone's scrambling to try to make a living, and children are even more easy to exploit. A parent can support or even push a child toward making their talent a career, and genuinely think they're doing their child a favor; and it can still be terrible for the child. AND it can still slowly creep into the parents themselves exploiting their child as it becomes easier and easier to just live off their income, even if that wasn't the initial plan.

And by the time Gideon was arrested, his parents had poured so much into his budding career that they need to restart trying to bring in a sufficient income outside of that.

Gideon's career wasn't awful & exploitative from the get go. He was an active participant, he understood (insofar as a child could) what was being asked of him and what he was getting out of it, he liked it, he wanted more. At the peak of the amulet's influence on him and during the months after it broke when its effects still lingered, he was calling the shots, he was in charge. And it's not like the amulet was mind-controlling him; that was Gideon at his worst, but it was still Gideon.

To an extent I think his parents still feel like he's calling the shots. Seeing your child as your breadwinner is a messed up position and somebody needs to shake some sense into his parents, but they didn't end up there deliberately. Like boiling a frog, they ended up there too gradually to notice.

I got my advent calendar!

I ordered it from stefiswolle.at it's the smaller version with 10g fibres in each bag since I don't have much time for spinning in december for work reasons.

The colourway is labelled as "mystic" and the manual sheet says the fibre mixture is 50% Polwarth/25% Alpaca/25% milk silk. I'm really looking forward to spinning it as i have never spun Polwarth before! It will be spindle work since i will be away for 3 days and i will not take my wheel with me.

Chase: THADEUS MOROCO!!!

Tiny Jinx: ...

Thadeus: ...

Tiny Jinx: Is this our retire call?

Tiny Jinx: HAHA! EAT THAT SCUMBAG!

Tiny Jinx: oh- not you Chase, you know I like you

Chase: you literally throwed a MAGIC FUNGUS ON THE RACE TRACK!!

Tiny Jinx: Don't take it personal!

---

Meanwhile, on Piltover

---

Hayley: Is this everything you need? Or I'll need to sail to mystic waters to bring something else?

Hector: Don't be so dramatic! Is not that much! Thanks, HayHay

Hayley: no worries, but I'll be late for academy if I don't go now

Hector: wait wait wait- academy did you said? Did you pass?! Why you didn't told me?

Hayley: because you had been doing who-knows-who with your boyfriend?

Vernand: Don't mention me in that conversation! I have nothing to do in it

Hector: Vernand's not my boyfriend

Hayley: Yes, yes, whatever you say. Bye, smart boy

Hector: You're insufferable sometimes, jeez

Hayley: I say the same!

---

Hector: Vern~

Vernand: what do you want?

Hector: how nice you are...

Hector: whatever, maybe I was searching a little on something and I did saw something really really important

Vernand: You finally resolved the problem with the mechanical door of the portal?

Hector: I did-

Vernand: Show me-

Hector: BUT! That's not what I want to talk about

Vernand: what is it then?

Hector: you know what day is today?

Vernand: ...ah, December 29

Hector: ...wait really? Aren't you going to say anything?

Vernand: no?

Hector: But it is your birthday! We should celebrate it!

Vernand: Oh- please no! We are not on the position to rest-

Hector: C'mon, friend. It is an important day! And because of it, I have something special

Vernand: what is it?

Hector: ta-daaaaa!

Vernand: and the gift paper?

Hector: I destroyed it…

Vernand: that’s why it’s just a little lace

Hector: yes…

Vernand: Hector, I don’t need a box-

Hector: Just open it! Please?

Vernand: …fine! But I don’t need a tiny painted box… oh my-

Vernand: is that a hex-core?

Hector: It’s just painted metal! I made it all by myself! And also real wood

Vernand: you made a whole tiny music box just for… me?

Hector: yes, you’re my best friend, and you deserve it… now hear! What song can you hear?

Vernand: is that… the song we heard when on Quennie’s party

Hector: ajap! You said you like it, and I wanted to make you a good gift. You believed in me since the beginning. I wanted to give you something to tell you I appreciate you

Vernand: …you are crazy as heck, you shouldn’t but… thank you

Hector: you’re welcome, genie

---

Doctor: ok ok ok, you’re telling me you, literally, punched someone, choked another one and kicked them, very violently, only because they said you looked like a “tiny painted sheep”

Kade: indeed

Doctor: …ok, why did you do that?

Kade: I didn’t like them

Doctor: …ok, I don’t know what did you do, but I do remember you were one of Charlie’s proteges, and I don’t think he would like you being like… this

Kade: excuse me, Mr. Morally correct, if you say that name once again, I will TAKE OFF that throat of yours-

Doctor: okay okay! Don’t be like that-

Kade: I already told you. NEVER say that name again

Doctor: …damn

---

Sissi: Frankie?

Frankie: yep.

Sissi: we ran out of paint, can you search for more cans?

Frankie: sure! What do you need?

Sissi: I need more yellow for Cody, and also pink, some of brown and golden… oh! And red for Kade! But not the vibrant red, is just for the shadows

Frankie: …I still can’t get how this happened…

Sissi: …well, everything ends… if it works, based on what you told me, Charlie and Ezra were really cool guys

Frankie: they were… I’ll miss them forever

Sissi: Nobody stops missing someone. But we’re firelights, we will change all of that!

Frankie: stopping Moroco and shimmer will not change this

Sissi: but we’ll change everything that comes in the future! We can evade this to happen again to someone else! Everything changes, and we will do just that!

Frankie: …thanks. Let’s do this!

Sissi: hm, that’s my bestie

---

Bianca: hm… tsk! Hey! Bay!

Bay: Auch! What are- I was sleeping! Why do you hit me?

Bianca: If you’re still in that sofa in the next 30 minutes, I’ll hit you harder and it will not be with a pillow!

Bay: sorry… agh, my head hurts

Bianca: wow, that’s new

Bay: stop that sarcasm, I feel like I’m going to explode

Bianca: I know, shimmer does that, there’s better ways to have some, and less overwhelming

Bay: where are you going?

Bianca: I got a new job, near Salvage’s place- sorry, Seb

Bay: what a weird name, why did he change it?

Bianca: people at that “academy” are kind of… problematic with zaunites

Bay: I still don’t get why of all things he had to be enforcer

Bianca: to have something better. We’re all in the same hole and he wants to get out of it

Bay: I just hope he doesn’t end in something… weird, or bad

Bianca: I say the same… but it’s his life, not mine, and he is really good on his class, he promised not to do bad things with all he will have. And I trust in him

Bay: I don’t. Enforcers end up all the same, soon or late

Bianca: I don’t want your shitty vibe on him, shut up

Bay: sorry! Damn…

---

Vilcabamba Treks to Machu Picchu: A Sacred Andean Adventure

Step off the beaten path and journey into the heart of ancient Incan mysticism with the Vilcabamba Treks to Machu Picchu. For those seeking an immersive adventure through untouched Andean landscapes, cloud forests, and hidden ruins, this lesser-known route offers a raw and authentic experience like no other.

Unlike the more crowded Classic Inca Trail, the Vilcabamba route offers solitude, serenity, and the chance to connect deeply with nature and history. This trek winds through the rugged Vilcabamba mountain range—once the final stronghold of the Inca resistance against Spanish conquest—where legends live in every stone and every step tells a story of survival, resilience, and spiritual significance.

With Peru Treks, you’ll travel alongside expert local guides who know the region intimately, providing rich cultural insights, exceptional service, and a safe, unforgettable experience. Each day of the journey unfolds spectacular views: snow-capped peaks, verdant valleys, cascading waterfalls, and high-altitude grasslands dotted with alpacas and remote Andean communities.

But the true magic of the Vilcabamba Treks to Machu Picchu lies in the sacred ruins you’ll encounter along the way. From the mysterious site of Vitcos to the spiritual complex of Ñusta Hisp’ana, these hidden gems offer a deep dive into Incan history, far from the typical tourist routes. And just when you think the experience couldn’t be more inspiring, the trek culminates in a sunrise arrival at the majestic Machu Picchu—an awe-inspiring reward for your adventure.

This trek is perfect for seasoned hikers looking for something more challenging and off-grid, yet equally rewarding. Peru Treks ensures that your journey is not only adventurous but also eco-conscious and community-oriented. By choosing this route, you help preserve these sacred trails and support local families and porters who call these mountains home.

If you're ready to embrace a journey that combines physical challenge with cultural discovery and natural wonder, the Vilcabamba Treks to Machu Picchu are your gateway. Let Peru Treks guide you on this sacred Andean path where ancient spirits still whisper in the wind.

🌿 San Blas: Where Art Breathes

High above the center of Cusco lies San Blas, a neighborhood of blue doors, cobbled paths, and quiet magic. Here, time feels softened. The air is thinner, the light gentler. Artists and mystics have long been drawn to this hillside haven. Painters, musicians, weavers—they all find their muse beneath the eucalyptus trees and hummingbirds.

Each workshop is a sanctuary. Inside, fingers move across clay and canvas, wool and wood. Sacred symbols emerge—condors, suns, serpents—resurrected again and again through hands that remember their purpose. The art of San Blas is not just beautiful; it’s devotional. It’s art that prays.

Wander the streets and you’ll hear laughter echoing from courtyards, Andean flutes played beside espresso machines, and the soft hum of a loom working into dusk. In San Blas, the ancient lives side by side with the contemporary, and neither feels out of place. It’s a district where myths walk the market and dreams wear alpaca shawls.

Come not just to shop, but to feel. Sit beneath the white cross at the viewpoint. Let your gaze drift over Cusco, and your thoughts go quiet. In San Blas, art is not a product—it’s a presence. And it lingers long after you’ve left.

Life on Pigeon-Shit farm

I live on a farm, name is two words first a synonym of pigeon, second a synonym of shit - as in, "you're shitting me." Or I guess "you're kidding me" would be more understandable but that's not as funny.

We moved to pigeon-shit farm a couple years back, nearly half my life ago, the husband of the owner had just died, we bought the 11 acres for cheap-as-chips - now it's about 22 acres, all trees, all pigeons, all shit. When describing it I tell people "I live in the woods." Or, "I live on the hill where the Pendle Witches were killed, 1.5 hrs from the nearest shop, in the woods, in an illegal warehouse-type place where the previous owner's husband died." But that's all made up.

The pendle witches died someplace away from my hill, probably, I don't really know, and also it isn't really a forest, its a plantation, trees ordered in neat rows, sectioned off into squares that go up and up and up in rows and rows, you could walk through the whole thing and not meet any animal larger than the cats which mysteriously appear in those woods or my mother's peacocks which mysteriously disappear. Of course you'd emerge covered in ticks, as I have, as our new cats have. Point is, it isn't nature. We bought some pigs, nasty things, and me and my dad built the pen around them; we dug a trench, about 40cm deep, 20/25 metres long, not a single worm in the whole of the soil. In America, I presume that's a signifier of healthy soil, but in England? Frankly the nature here is baffling.

My brother's dad lived in town, couple miles South of our hill, over a bridge, over a river, bunch of countryside. Anyway, he sees someone walking in our yard, something that happens a lot lately, and he walks down quick, it's our normal routine. Me and him seem to sleep late, so we hear the ruckus in our yard, we go down, wave a torch around, tell our parents to go out and catch the bandits. Thing is, he goes down, looks out the window, its a deer, a buck, antler pointing up and around, looking right into the window. Scared the shit out of him. Then, months later, he moves out to live in his dad's tiny apartment, he tells me the story of him gaming and drinking, chilling at night, then he goes downstairs, a tapping on the window, what does he see in the middle of town? a buck, in the road, kilometre away from woodland, if you consider woodland to be a teeny little park reserved for old people to picnic in.

Whatever is at play on Pigeon-Shit farm is basically the opposite of, like, the mutations in Fallout. Everything here is mystically dull, even my mum's peacocks appear to have some kind of grey or brown undertone to their feathers I swear. But they, rather than becoming mindless and wild, have some sort of silent cryptic pride about them like a silent observation. One of my mum's peacocks, Basil, who my dad later beheaded, was ran over by my dad's bike and must have become partially blind keeping both eyes shut to the point I worried he lost the ability to open them. But he would follow you like a shadow, some people he would attack but the choice seemed random, me and my mum he would just walk behind us in silent (lack of) observation.

We have Alpacas too, four of them, Diego is Die-gone though. They do this weird thing where they just sit there in their enclosure, watching, with their head slowing shifting from side to side like a pool-noodle with a rock on the end shifting in a very weak wind. It's super creepy. Although, to be fair, it's not exactly unusual, if anything I'm the one going stir crazy. Animals can be freaky, I have this saying that any group and any one frequently thought of as stupid or mindless is far more closely intelligent to the rest of us than we think. Even bees play and even snails can get depression. So I guess it makes sense that someone who hadn't experienced much of animals would, upon living in close proximity to them, be shocked by the strange intelligence they all possess.

And that goes for all of us really. Pigeon-Shit farm has a way of driving us crazy, I have a few theories. The local area's strange natural occurences, the lack of worms, the foam that forms on every running water including the enormous river near my home, the dead trees that sit lifeless, not rotting, not breaking, just gradually eroded by the wind till they have no bark. Perhaps there's some kind of weird chemical here that causes hallucinations and the pollution, it would make sense, we're always digging up old batteries, pots and pans, entire mattresses that had been dumped in the earth. We're basically living on a trash pile. My other theory is mould, black mould, I heard mould spores can cause things like headaches and hallucinations and our house basically has a massive crawlspace above the ceiling but beneath the roof, as well as between some walls. Now, mould forms in places like our bathroom all the time and we just paint over it, but perhaps some massive growth of mould exists, unseen, in those massive chambers in our house, the empty spaces unused by rooms on the house's blueprint, birthing litres of spores that then we breathe in.

The mould theory is my most logical theory, regarding the supernatural occurences on Pigeon-Shit, thing is it isn't just me. Near everyone in my family says there's some weird stuff in these "woods" except nobody seems to think much of it. Hell. My grandfather lived here alone once, keeping the house safe when we went vacationing in Cornwall. I never noticed it, but he never comes here anymore, my mother says it's because he claims there are witches here, when he was alone, and one of the tables outdoors got flipped over, my mum says he did it, of course, but why would he? and he still avoids our house.

Weeks into living here, my dad began saying things, every day for weeks, at exactly 6PM, a knock would sound on the door, every day, until it became ignored, apparently my mum's friend came over once, met a fellow at the door at 6PM, told him he was lost and to go down the road. The knocking stopped. My dad began envisioning a woman in a white dress, ethereal, at the foot of his bed.

My brother says he saw things here too, says he'd get headaches every time he came over (*mould theory) and then, again, animals in the woods, white pale things dangling their way across the road swinging an unwieldy body from pathway to pathway. He says there's an aura here, says that the shadows are darker here, just being here makes him ill. He came back for a year, from uni, to get away from the incredible rent. He's going back to uni next year, obviously regretting his decision.

What a weird fucking place. I've started giving statblocks to my hallucinations as a way of coping with them lmfao. in lockdown I went insane and began worshiping a pantheon of 7 gods, I stat the hallucinations based on each god lol

This was the second to last appearance I made on Box Frequency FM. Network was a show that was similar to the Down The Rabbit Hole concept, in that a few DJ's had a show on weekly rotation and each would host a guest alongside a mix of their own. On this occasion I was sharing the platform with Matthew Foord, one of the most genuine and friendly people I've encountered through the hellscape that is the online universe. One of only a couple of people that have kept in touch with me, not only is he a great person, but also a fantastic selector and it's worth having a rummage around on his Mixcloud or the Box Frequency archives that are hosted on Hearthis... there's a lot of quality and a few big names on there!

For my own part, I tried to pick tracks that might compliment the person I was appearing aside, not always but mostly, and certainly in this case. Matthew's musical taste is very eclectic, and mine has become more so over the years. I think my involvement with Box Frequency and the amount of time listening to the various contributors opened me up to a lot of things I wouldn't have come across otherwise. For that I thank them all, though my bank balance does not.
