The path of... A Hero...

Mentions: @isuke-ejinn , @its-morphin-time-xiv The Seeker had slowly made her way in the barracks. She sat down on one of the beds quietly thinking to herself. She kept the lights out sitting quietly in the dark as she sighed softly. “Why do I feel so useless all the time...” She murmured to herself, clenching her hands. “I... All the time I just want to help.. but every time I reach out... Those I care about turn their backs to me as if I can’t help, or not worthy to help them. I tried to help Belladonna and failed...”  She slowly leaned back as she laid down curling up on the bed with a small sigh. “Even this evening... I wanted to help Isuke... but she just snapped at me, and every time she tells me she’s fine when I know full well she’s not okay. Why am I always the damsel in distress... I’m supposed to be a Ranger... a protector... but I can’t even do that right...”  Lily had pulled her knees to her chest as she closed her eyes. “Am I worthy of being a Ranger...? Worthy of being second in command of the Engineering Division...?”   The more she thought about it the more upset she got, tears welling up in her eyes as she slowly rolled onto her back staring at the ceiling. A soft whisper of words heard in the back of her mind. “If you weren’t worthy, do you think I would have made a contract with you Lilith?” The voice was soft, comforting. Uttao always knew when to say the right thing when Lily didn’t know what else to do. The seeker closed her eyes, her mind drawn away from reality for a moment as she found herself standing in a familiar sandscape. She looked to the demon that she made a contract with. “I mean... No Uttao... You wouldn’t have but how am I supposed to be able to protect anyone I care about if they won’t let me...”  “Just keep trying Lilith, that’s the best you can do. They will let you in as long as you keep to prove they can depend on you. Don’t give up, your not one to do so... So why start now?” “Fine fine... Your right.” She said lowly in the most unconvincing way possible. “Just... Let me sleep on it.” With that, the seeker withdrew from the sandscape as she rolled onto her side, as she did her best as she tried to sleep. Though she simply cried for a good few bells before sleep finally claimed her for the evening.  

The Rival The grim, volatile foe of the protagonist, who, through a series of inexplicable events up to and including attempted murder, gains grudging respect for said hero/heroine (and may even save them) and goes from intolerable to tolerable. You're very confident and have pep in your step. People who don't know you describe you as stubborn, but in fact you have a very open-mind. You're able to see both sides of the situation, but it's hard for you to admit that you're wrong. You stick to your vices and never falter, even if your opinion is seen as wrong. For those on your side, they look up to you and value your ideals. You speak with raw pride. You're straightforward and like to get right to the point during most conversations. You are more fueled by emotion rather than logic. You also love competition, being number one is very important to you. ((This is more accurate to her character then I was expecting,)) I saw @its-morphin-time-xiv ‘s post and figured, Hey! Why not! It’s always a blash getting to do these things from time to time! @nenet-ffxiv, @neheon-kha, @ehrinrae, @winterharrison, @x-inay, @ffxivakyi, @isuke-ejinn

Mentions: @its-morphin-time-xiv,  It was the following day, The seeker had stayed up all night working through the night fuelled on whiskey, anger, frustration and guilt . Lily had looked over some previously drawn up schematics ones that she had been working on before she had ever gotten her morpher, before she even thought that she could have been a Ranger. She began piecing things together and building her own magitek powered armour that would at least let her fight slightly above the average capacity of what she would be capable of without her morpher. It was no Ranger Armor... But it was better then nothing. The thoughts circling her head, the fight with Belladonna... Seeing one of the people she held in the highest regard, and still considered family, rendered as nothing more then a feral beast currently. The Creator stripping her of her rank, removing her from the team, and banning her from using her Morpher unless it was dire circumstances. Hurting and worrying the people that cared about her.... All the thoughts swirling in her head driving her pushing her forward. She would become stronger, better, smarter. So that this situation wouldn’t happen again, so she wouldn’t hurt or worry those she cared about again.  “You can strip me of my rank.... Remove me from the team.... And stop me from using my morpher... But you will not stop me from doing the duty that I swore to uphold the day I received my morpher. I may not be part of the team.. But I am still a Ranger... And I will get Belladonna back!”  The sun broke through the Workshop window, the seeker looking up to the sky. Slowly Lily had packed up the armour before making her way to La Noscea. Looking over the cliff towards Limsa Lominsa, She opened up the case holding the pieces of armor. The seeker pulled off her shirt revealing a harness that was hidden beneath her top. One that had multiple small ceruleum powercells attached to it, with what seemed to be a circuit connector on the back of the harness that went from just above the seeker’s tail all the way up to the back of her neck. It also had lines that moved down the sides of her legs, down her arms and up the side of her neck, so to provide power to other places along her body  She then moved to pull the core piece of armour over her frame the back of the armour resting against the the connectors. She then pulled on the gloves which at first didn’t seem like much but under close inspection it had, little prongs on the knuckles. And finally she pulled on the boots on, which again didn’t seem like much in at a quick glance. The final piece was a mask with a pair of goggles attached.  After finally donning her custom made armour, she looked to a small button that was in the center of her right palm. “Well.... Here’s to hoping it works...” She said before pressing the button.  With that, the harness had activated the back of the armour magnetising to the connectors causing power to surge through the armour, What now felt like over one hundred pounds in gear felt only like twenty five.  The balled her fists causing the small prongs on the gauntlets to spark clearly releasing an electric charge. The seeker grinned before swinging a few punches in the air, small short range bursts of electricity parking of the gauntlets in response. “That works....”  She then lifted her feet hopping in place before kicking off into a sprint, she took off moving at a higher rate then she normally would be able too. All the while not even feeling the ground beneath her feet as she ran. “That works... now for the final test....”  Lily had moved her hand up to the collar of the armour pressing a small button, the armour then opening small hatches in the back quickly letting out a hiss as it pushed air and steam out of the armour, a form of ventilation system to keep her cool, the mask as well had the same feature, with an air filter attached. “Seems everything works...” She chuckled.  The seeker had looked out to the sky as she grinned. “It might not be Ranger armour... But it’s better then nothing and at least helps me try to keep up with everyone else in the Network.”  Lily had sighed before closing her eyes. “I will not make the same mistake twice.... No more foolish decisions of running off on my own, and getting hurt. From now on... I’m done being a lone wolf. I was part of a team I could depend on... and instead I ran off on my own. It was foolish and I will not make the same mistake again a second time, besides.... I have the Network to watch my back as well...”  There was a small voice that echoed in the back of her mind. “You may not be able to morph, but I am still here as well and I will be watching your back as well, Little one.” “Thank you, Uttao... I know you told me that going after Bella alone was the wrong choice and I should have listened to you... From now on I won’t be making that mistake a second time. I will heed your advice.”  “Good.... Now get out there and do your job, Little one.” Lily had opened her eyes looking to the sky, now having a renewed resolve and still having the same goal.  And nothing was going to stop her....

It was a quiet eve, we both felt that maybe it a change of scenery for an eve might be a good idea... Gods knows after the encounter at the All Saint`s wake party.. I needed it.  So we merely enjoyed a pleasant eve out in coerthas. Sure it was cold, but having her by my side... seemed to keep me warm.  Though on this night.. I had thoughts run thought my head... Thing I try not to think about.. especially when around the woman that has grown to be the moon in my darkest nights.... I do miss Belladonna and what we had, even if it was best that we went our own seperate ways romantically... Though I do hope one day we can at least rekindle that friendship we shared when we first met... Things seem so tense all the time between us and I hate it... after all she is my Commander as well as fellow Ranger. We are supposed to be partners. Regardless... These are thoughts again I should not be thinking of while standing out here with Nenet...  The woman that had found me lost and unsure in the shroud.... With no where to go... besides the woman i’ve grown to see as a sister.. Neheon. What I would do without her I do not know, but I do owe her much. Taking me in giving me a roof above my head. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me up until now Neheon I will never forget and will never stop repaying that kindness. It’s been a trying past few moons... but I finally feel able to stand on my own two feet again. To be able to move forward and fufill my duties as both a Ranger, and an Engineer of the Glass Network...  And to those around me who care for me...

Mentions: @nenet-ffxiv There was heavy panting as the seeker had finished fighting the remaining smaller tiered voidsent, as they slowly began to fade from existence. She had dropped her daggers a little winded from the fight. The Blade of her daggers embedding into the sand as she looked up to the sky seeing the moon.  “It’s been a long time since I’ve taken a moment to think.It’s been over a moon and a half since I’ve taken a moment to just stop and stare at the moon… Though it wasn’t the happiest moment the last time I did…” She seeker pulled off her helmet letting the sea air blow through her hair. “At least over this last moon and a half I have learned… even in the darkest of nights.. There always that one light of the moon to guide you through it. It took me a little time to find it.. But I am pretty sure I finally have, and she is waiting for me.”  With that the seeker had began to make her way, her Ranger armour fading from frame the daggers in the sand fading in the exact same manner.  “I told you I would return in one piece… and indeed I shall…”
