Decisions

mentions: @kuri-ejinn @never-trust-theliving @zhel-rathan​

Perhaps not a reasonable choice, or a helpful choice, or even the right choice, Kal’sin had stayed up on the cliff as he watched the others below fight and square off with the pirates. He had not gone down there himself because of Kuri. Despite Kuri being well taken care of, despite knowing that she would be fine in the hands of the others guarding her, he couldn’t bring himself to leave. 

That had been hours ago. 

Now sitting in comfort inside of the infirmary, Kal’sin found himself berating his actions. But the choices had been made, and the choices had felt right. Clearly, the others hadn’t needed his help. If they had, he would have gone down there, but Siegwulf was a force above him in terms of offensive power. All he could have really done would have helped out Zhel, or taken out any of the lingering pirates that had not been worth their time in pursuit of their goal. 

Kal’sin’s eyes slid to the infirmary bed where Kuri was. He also didn’t need to be here either. But he knew his own feelings of discontent would rise if he left. No, his only source of usefulness was his defense. He would watch, he would defend. 

That was all he really knew, the realization struck true. 

His sword arm was mediocre at best. Perhaps above average comparatively to those at his level being he was just slightly above the commoner. He was weak. He was better situated for holding his shield, standing his ground, and using his height and build to intimidate foes that believed he was much stronger then he really was. 

Kal’sin switched his position on the chair. His left arm crossed over his right, his left leg followed suit. His eyes closed tightly. 

None of this would have happened if he had been more alert. Not reading books in his room, distancing himself from the rest of the company; yes they were mercenaries, yes he was using them for an easy source of gil, but, they were still people, and Siegwulf and Kuri were of his own kind. He’d be lying if he didn’t find some companionship out of them; some sense of acceptance or belonging despite not really knowing them. 

His own fingers began tapping on his arm, as his chin tucked a little closer to his neck. 

If this group collapsed he would be living on the road again, sleeping under the stars, exposed to the elements. Yes, he would take this more seriously.

Kal’sin stood up and made his way out of the infirmary. 

Starting today, he would make routine patrols around the company house, making note of who were there, learning routines, and most importantly, if he didn’t see someone for more than twenty-four hours, he would go knocking on their door or have someone linkpearl them to make sure they were alive and well. 

This was what he was good at; it was time to hone and make use of his skills. For the betterment of himself, and in return, betterment for everyone else. 

This was his decision, and he would follow through.

Violetta isn’t meant to be a villain, but it is safe to say she has some villainous traits. This was a fun thing to reflect upon this morning.

Too many questions

Angry curses filled the air as the viera left the confines of Holly’s office. She was angry at herself more than anything. She blamed herself for not being prepared. As if she could watch over each member of the company constantly.  Four days. Elissaria slumped against the wall, defeat weighing her body and soul. How were they going to find Kuri?

Pushing off the wall, her eyes began scanning the area in front of the building. Signs of people passing was all her senses picked up. She stood staring down the path that led to the building. How many had traipsed through here in the four days since Kuri had visited? 

Violetta appeared at the end of the path, marching up it with determination. A look passed between them before Eli nodded at the other viera as she went inside. Eli didn’t believe Holly would betray them so horribly, but anger had ruled practically everyone in the tense confrontation. How much had they broken trust with their accusations?

Only Siegwulf had remained his stoic self. Another reason she would follow the Au Ra to the ends of the world. He might look angry all the time, but he locked it down when it counted. That thought had logic returning to the viera. Kuri had visited and had intended to return to the estate. Maybe she stopped at a vendor along the way?

Sai would scour the streets for any sign of Kuri, Eli trusted that fact. She knew the path that Kuri would take to the aetheryte, if her destination had been to go straight home. Eli’s steps began heading that way. Her eyes scanning for anything out of the ordinary as she moved slowly away from the last place they knew Kuri had been. Where was she?

And more importantly, was she okay?

I wasn't sure how i was gonna feel about shanks in thelive action, but ugh this man stole my heart yet again

[shammah8]

God declared Himself more mighty than every opposing power when He cast out the powers of darkness from heaven. I want you to know that the same power that cast Satan out of heaven dwells in every man that is born of God. If you would but realize this, you would reign in life. When you see people laid out under an evil power, when you see the powers of evil manifesting themselves, always put the question, “Did Jesus come in the flesh?” I have never seen an evil power answer in the affirmative. When you know you have an evil spirit to deal with you have power to cast it out. Believe it and act on it, for greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). God means you to be in a place of overcoming, and hasput a force within you whereby you may defeat the devil.

Temptations will come to all. If you are not worth tempting you are not worth powder and shot. Job said: “When He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” In every temptation that comes, the Lord lets you be tempted up to the very hilt, but will never allow you to be defeated if you walk in obedience; for right in the midst of the temptation He will always “make a way of escape.”

Tongues and Interpretation: “God comes forth and with His power sweeps away the refuge of lies and all the powers of darkness, and causes you always to triumph in Christ Jesus.

The Lord loveth His saints and covereth them with His almighty wings.”

May God help us to see it. We cannot be to the praise of His glory until we are ready for trials, and are able to triumph in them. We cannot get away from the fact that sin came in by nature, but God comes into our nature and puts it into the place of death, that the Spirit of God may come into the temple in all His power and liberty, that right here in this present evil world Satan may be dethroned by the believer.

Satan is always endeavoring to bring the saints of God into disrepute, bringing against them railing accusations, but the Holy Ghost never comes with condemnation. He always reveals the blood of Christ. He always brings us help. The Lord Jesus referred to Him as the Comforter who would come. He is always on hand to help in the seasons of trial and test. The Holy Ghost is the lifting power of the church of Christ. And Paul tells us that we “are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ, . . . written not with ink, but with the Spirit of theliving God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart.” The Holy Ghost begins in the heart, right in the depths of human affections. He brings into the heart the riches of the revelation of Christ, implanting purity and holiness there, so that, out of its depths, praises may well up continually.☕️Smith Wigglesworth

so far in the early stages of reorganizing... ended up taking a long nap... but im only plannign on doing a lil cleaning today so im still on track. realized what i need in my room badly is a chair and a small lil round table like right where one of my shelves and electric organ is -_- once again need to clarify that i LOVE my electric organ and tack piano but they take so much damb space in my room. like i think of my siblings i have the largest room but it feels so small cause so much of it is just taken up by giant ass instruments. always drop hints to my family that id dig if they moved out/sold the living room piano and moved the tack piano into the living room but regardless of conditionthey wanna keep theliving room piano in there causee it looks nice. im sure ifi organize/get rid and clear stuff out i can have enough room but rn im like UGH! actually i think i can move my electric organ under my bed if i really clean out/throw out lots of stuff from under my bed.. i just gotta make sure to cover it so it doesnt get dusty. i think that arrangement will make me v happy now that i think abt it.. hehehehe.

Merry Starlight: For Siegwulf

In the days before Kuri’s abduction, Violetta finally completed her gift for Siegwulf. While it had been clear during their previous discussion that Siegwulf was not entirely certain of the meaning of Starlight, she still wanted to present him with the armor she had been working on for months.

Almost since meeting him.

Every portion of it was a testament to her skills, from the sturdy and practical underlayers to the decorations built upon each joint and connector. She lined it with fur, favoring wolf fur in the places where it would show and dense fleeces or even bear fur where he may need additional padding. It was heavy with the weight of metals that went into it the outer shell, but also the discreet plates and chain that lined vulnerable regions. The armor and all its accessories had been a challenge at several points in its creation, but now she could at least explain part of the reason she always watched Siegwulf with such intensity. She had to understand his movements to make her creation solely for him. Violetta had to know how he advanced, swung, and retreated. She had to know how he fell and how he got back up. This armor could not simply be a flashy layer of protection.

This armor had to serve him as much as his weapons did.

With the armor on its stand in Siegwulf’s room, Violetta allowed herself that moment of prideful reflection before stepping forward, adjusting the bow, and then leaving it to stand until Siegwulf returned.
