FFXIV October - Day 21 Warrior of Darkness

Day 8: Tomorrow and Tomorrow

Gentle Dark

A Final Fantasy XIV fic. Urianger/Moenbryda, and other relationships. Please see AO3 for full list of tags and warnings. Updates Fridays, biweekly.

Heartbroken after the loss of his dearest companion, Urianger labors to save two worlds in which he has never felt more alone.

Chapter 11: Into the Abyss

Late in the eve, Urianger’s linkpearl chimed, startling him not from sleep but from deep reverie over aged texts. Long had he labored to find even one reference to what might have been an “Emissary of Light” equivalent to Elidibus. The reference, however, was so vague he found himself at a loss to draw any conclusions from it, and had set to reading the adjacent verses in hopes that some insight might come upon him. Absent this, he had nonetheless become enthralled by their poetic imagery, and all else had vanished, for a time.

He ought to have been expecting a call. Since last speaking with the Emissary, he had spoken with both Riol and Marshal Tarupin, offering by way of "rumor" avenues that might confirm or deny his suspicions as to the source of the crystals—though he dared not voice them outright. Either of them might call with news. Moreover, Unukalhai was no doubt eager to return to Azys Lla as soon as possible. Barring that, there was the matter of Garuda, if Arbert and his friends had succeeded in provoking another summoning…

Yet the tone of Ariane’s greeting arrested him at once.

“Prithee,” he said, “is aught amiss?”

Lamitt: *sighing* Nyelbert.

Nyelbert: Fuck shit up out there, but don’t die.
