  it was strange , to feel the energies that radiated from the first of the oracles , her divine charge granted in the wake of ardyn’s own ruination . he remembered when this remote corner of solheim was but verdant  untapped jungles many felt was too sacred to venture . but by the white spires that crested into the sky was that no longer true , izunia’s gold eyes averted away as they were guided around the base of floating bridges suspended between the floating mountains . the path was rickety and he thanked foresight to not have brought their chocobos with them . all was washed away and only his inner circle allowed to advance , when guided through those corridors did izunia take pause within a spacious foyer meant to receive guests , izunia yet wary .

  yet , when a maiden clad in milky ivory emerged was the lucian almost blinded from the contrast of lacy white to her black hair , gold meeting green as izunia realized who this was :

  lady gentiana nox fleuret of tenebrae .

  bowing regally , towering over the maiden who was to be his successor , he held a fist of sincerity to his chest . ‘ peace be upon you , lady gentiana . ‘

It was rare that either Somnus or Ardyn would ever awake with the dawn, but as gold-lit rays crested the red-dyed crags of Leide, he couldn’t help but arise with it. A song was hummed as he watched Ursamah dip and glide his white-tipped wings like silver through the early morn, set to bring them their breakfast within mere moments. 

However, a brief flash of white caught the Shield’s eye, a small smile flitting when he saw who it was.

“M’lady Oracle. Do you, too, find beauty in the sun’s rise?”
