mavuika

But then we learn that Thrain is all about his people, the Sentinel Knight, and his duty outweighed his life, his heart outweighed his body, his love outweighed self preservation

He lived those 500 years as a soldier, to protect the lost souls, in the hopes he could bring them peace

Living in service of a fleeting dream, only held together by the hope you'll succeed

And let's not forget the fact he didn't sleep at ALL, due to the voices

Mavuika has never had to think about her own safety as Archon because there’s not a lot of people who could come close to her power. I mean yeah there’s the rest of the Seven but they’re all in dire straits at the moment too.

The closest to her strength is probably Ei but that is a long way from home and there was never any reason to fear her because they’re in similar situations;

The heroes of Natlan would never do that to her, and her people are loyal because she treats them well, there wouldn’t be anyone who would start a coup, and all of them are united against a common enemy even with their differences: The Abyss

The only party that has ever been a threat was the Abyss because Natlan was closed off from the rest of the world

There was never really a pillar she could lean on, even as a kid (her character stories are actually kind of sad, she was the one Parenting her Parents even when she was like 5, and then she had to Parent her Sister on top of all that)

No one was her equal, and no one treated her as an equal--not her friends, not her family. She was put onto this pedestal, and she had to carry all of it alone, and she thought that was normal and completely reasonable to expect of somebody at her level (which, if we're talking about Mavuika level, is probably the highest and only level there is)

So when Capitano comes knocking she doesn't think much of it... Until their Stadium fight. She then realizes. Oh Wait. An Equal? A Threat Aside From The Abyss? What The Hell?

So now she has to think about her own security because this beast of a man is after Her and the Gnosis She Is Keeping. Now people around her are talking about security details and guards around the Speaker's Chamber when she's never had to before and Mavuika is in a full-blown existential crisis. Just a lot of:

I’ve never had to think about this for myself, surely this is not needed?

…Why haven’t I been thinking about this for myself?

Should I be thinking about this for myself?

Capitano's entrance is the first time she had to consider her own safety and well-being aside from winning. Like yeah if she dies fighting against the Abyss that's fine as long as she made sure that her people won, she can just revive anyway! Broken bones are nothing with her healing factor, it might hurt like a bitch but she'll be back on her feet again next time, ready to die again for winning!

But with Capitano it's a rude awakening of: Oh fuck I might Actually die in Real Life fighting against This Person? And Actually I'm Needed by My People beyond just fighting the Abyss? Oh I have a Purpose outside of Fighting and Being A Warrior? I have to be a diplomat, a representative, dealing with tribal disputes outside of Abyssal related incidents? Strength and power aren't the only things that define me? Oh Shit! I have to stay Alive and protect Myself From This Threat!

I am reaching out on behalf of my dear friend, Mohamad S., who is facing one of the most challenging times of his life. Mohamad is 37 years old and left his homeland in 2015 in search of a safer and better future. He’s a kind, hardworking man, and his small family has always been his greatest priority.

Living abroad, Mohamad has recently endured unimaginable loss and financial strain. Amidst the ongoing conflict in his homeland, his mother passed away, leaving behind his sister and her five young children—the last remaining members of his immediate family.

As the situation worsened, Mohamad managed to help his sister and her children escape to safety in Egypt, covering their immediate needs and securing a temporary refuge for them. Since then, he has been fully responsible for providing everything they need to survive during this transition.

In his efforts to support his family and cope with this devastating loss, Mohamad has found himself deeply in debt. To make matters even more difficult, he recently underwent knee surgery, which limits his ability to return to work for the foreseeable future. This has made it even harder for him to manage his financial responsibilities and the pressing need to provide his family with a stable future.

Mohamad is now working to bring his sister and her five children to join him in Belgium, where he hopes they can find stability and opportunity after all they’ve endured. This transition, however, requires significant resources that he is currently unable to meet alone.

For privacy reasons, we are not sharing Mohamad’s full name, as he has chosen to keep his identity discreet. While he initially refused the idea of asking for help, I couldn’t stand by and watch him struggle alone. I insisted on doing this for him because he deserves a chance to overcome these challenges.

Your contribution will help Mohamad repay the debt incurred during this difficult time, cover ongoing living expenses for his family, and assist with the costs involved in bringing them safely to Belgium.

Mohamad has been a good friend of mine for years, and I’ve always admired his resilience and generosity. Any support, no matter the size, will make an incredible difference in helping Mohamad and his family rebuild their lives after these painful experiences.

Thank you for reading his story and considering helping a man who has always done everything he can for his loved ones.
