Life is an Adventure

Upon my return to Limsa and give an update for Baderon, I was three other adventurers talking with him. "Ay, such a task was on the books. "Was," mind."

"Something up?"

The young gladiator looked towards and seemed to notice the battle worn armor I've yet changed out of. "Might you be the adventurer who investigated Sastasha?"

"Yes I did,"

"Seems like the ship had indeed sailed and returned safely to port."

His two companions didn't seem to mind, just tough luck this time 'round. They kept their heads held high as I began an inspiration for them. Baderon turned to me as they left, "So?"

I began to tell him everything about what my group of comrades witnessed inside Sastasha.

"Fishbacks, eh? Seven hells, ye turn yer back fer five bloody minutes, an' the scaly bastards've set up shop on yer bleedin' doorstep..."

"Tell me about it. There was also a lot of civilians there too, mostly woman,"

"Aye, I heard o' them. Poor beauties," he said. "Anyroad, all's well that ends well!" I smiled as he spoke again. "Thanks for sheddin' light on this mystery. I knew ye'd get the job done, lass."

"It was nothing. Besides, I had help from three others," I spoke, trying to hold a yawn in, failing of course.

"I know ye just got back and dyin' fer a rest, but I've 'ad a request from out sister guild on Gridania if ye might be interested in takin' another job,"

"If it's still available in the morning, aye, I wouldn't mind doing it."

"My thanks, lass. Rest well."

I took a room in the inn once again, too tired to return to my apartment. Somehow once I got to the room, a letter was waiting for me on the desk. I walked to it and opened it, it was my father's handwriting.

Sweet daughter,

Have you learned about parties? I bet you already have. I'm sure you took up the axe just like your old man, but don't be afraid to try new battle skills. I wasn't always front and center when I fought. I would assist in damage dealing as a black mage and your mother took up the sword and shield, can you believe it? She's was a force of nature. If you happened to be on her bad list, she'd try and purposely kill you, as she has tried with me, on more than one occasion. Try and always keep your healer happy, they will be the first likely have you killed.

I hope in my writing you'd find comfort and continue to walk your path to greatness. My blessed daughter, I cannot count how many days I wish to see your loving face, your smile and watch you grow to a fine young woman, alas, things don't always go as planned. As for the next clue, the next letter will be with an old friend who passed it to a new, a leader of a group you won't miss.

With love always
-Okin Oroinr

I smiled as I placed the new one in the journal. I laid down on the bed and soon fallen asleep.

By the morrow, Baderon told me of the job and parted ways once again, back to Gridana. Shortly after arriving, Rio and Shira had been waiting.

"Alex!" Shira shouted. "I heard you explored a pirate den in La Noscea,"

"Leo told you?" I chuckled.

"Yea, how'd you know?"

"What exactly did he tell you?"

"Well," she went on to say how powerful he was taking the enemies by storm. "Now that I think about it, he was pulling my leg, wasn't he."

"Yeep! It was more of a group effort. If it wasn't for Parzi, he might have been killed."
