Final Fantasy XIV: Sundered Hero

Wasteland And Water

2 Days Later

Thordan. King, Archbishop, Allagan warlord.

The Warriors of Darkness. The other side of Eorzea's brightest light.

Bahamut and Tiamat. Broodmates, wronged by the very same people they sought to bring about the future alongside.

Everything the heroes had learned in the past week was coming together all at once, and with their newfound goal being to put an end to whatever it was that Thordan and the Crystal Braves had in mind, all of them needed to rely on each other--regardless of former tensions--if they wanted to see Eorzea become just a bit safer as a result of their efforts. Raubahn and Kan-E-Senna were able to get in contact with Limsa Lominsa's admiral, Merlwyb, ahead of the inevitable battle, and while Eorzea's world leaders were speaking amongst each other, Alphinaud and his sister Alisaie took to the front of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn along with Minfilia at their long-awaited reuniting.

"I am more than happy to find you all hale and whole after such an arduous parting. Eorzea, in our absence, has grown to fall onto the shoulders of stalwart new faces and in the gaze of bitter foes. I have been away for far too long to sit idly by while our star sits at the brink, and with King Thordan on his way to lands uncharted by our people, we can only pray that whatever transpires in Meracydia, we will see Eorzea pulled from the oncoming cataclysm unto a brighter future."

The antecedent smiled at Cyprus, Stryker, and Eniro. The Immortal Flames were at a different side of the room within the Ishgardian inn, but were acknowledged all the same as well as Krile, Aruvia and Alenka. After Minfilila's speech, Alphinaud spoke up with Alisaie following suit.

"However, as it stands, a number of our own have business they must attend to on a personal level before meeting with the king in Meracydia. Namely-"

"Eniro. Are you...sure you want to do this?"

Alisaie asked the boy who was leaning against a nearby wall.

"I have to clear my name. Knowing now that the woman who I "killed" is alive and is actively consorting with the people that got me framed is making my blood boil just a bit."

The Lalafell's fist clenched with a fire in his eyes that only Aymeric had seen before.

"So, I'm afraid that I might not make it to Meracydia at all. Bring me back a bloodied crown as a souvenir, will ya'?"

Cyprus crossed his arms over his chest and looked at Alphinaud once Eniro was done, frankly being of the same mind.

"I'm going with him. We both promised each other to see this through to the end, and now that we're here, I wouldn't miss out on holding up my end of the bargain for the world."

"I'll come too, then, if it's of no issue of course."

Surprisingly enough, Krile was the one who made a second offer to join Eniro, and as soon as she spoke up, she was nudged on the arm by a smugly grinning Tataru; she had to shake off a bit of blush as to what the secretary insinuated.

"You're going to need a healer. If nothing else, someone to keep the both of your reckless selves in check."

That would have been the end of it, but Strun had to be there for this finale himself despite what the heroes may have thought of him now. If what Ravna said was to be taken as a caveat and Eniro was sure that he was innocent, then he'd be there to make his own verdict himself.

"I'll go as well. You claim to be innocent? Then show me."

A glare was shared between the two that had the tension of it broken by Hirosch, who was still reeling from everything he had just been told by Inaku. He was a vessel of perseverance, made to bring about the Calamity only to fail and become who he is today amongst a new age that he was meant to see destroyed. Then again, if things were any simpler, he'd find himself a tad disappointed.
