Dungeon Dialogue: Lapis Manalis

Pes Albus (X: 11.6, Y: 14.8) - Fighting on the Snowcraft

Spirited Engineer: Careful up there─you're not like to see much through the snow. Estinien: It seems we were right to ride atop the snowcraft. 　↳ Y’shtola: Indeed. Let us hold nothing back. Zero: How bothersome... Alisaie: The wildlife here is certainly bold. Y’shtola: To arms! Albus Griffin: Caw! Spirited Engineer: Hopefully that's the last of those winged bastards... I'm afraid this is as far as the mammoth'll go. You'll have to make it the rest of the way on foot.

Mons Albus #1 (X: 10.6, Y: 13.9) - Vista of the Tower of Babil

Alisaie: You can see the Tower of Babil from here! 　↳ Alphinaud: And it's no less imposing, even from this great distance. Zero: White as far as the eye can see... Estinien: A welcome change of scenery. Y’shtola: I imagine the view from here must be breathtaking.

Mons Albus #2 (X: 10.2, Y: 12.8) - Mons Albus

Albus Bear: Grooogh! Fleeing Rat: <squeak> Fleeing Antelope: <bleat> Visitant Bloodguard #1: Your aether will be mine! Visitant Bloodguard #2: I must feed!

First Boss, Before engaging (X: 11.2, Y: 11.6) - Albion

Varshahn: If this beast would bar our path... 　↳ Zero: A simple enough task. Alphinaud: A veritable giant among the wildlife here to be sure. Y’shtola: Is this beast native to the mountain?

First Boss, After defeating (X: 11.2, Y: 11.6) - Albion

Varshahn: Come. Let us press onward. 　↳ Alisaie: To the cavern! Alphinaud: There is something to be said for the fortitude of nature. Y’shtola: Well, that wasn't too difficult.

Vicus Messorum #1 (X: 10.5, Y: 13.6) - Cavern Entrance

Alphinaud: So this is Lapis Manalis... 　↳ Estinien: This is no time for gawping. Watch your step. Varshahn: How vast is this cavern, I wonder? Alisaie: Is it just me, or is the wind blowing warm air? Y’shtola: What is this presence...? Visitant Vodoriga: Such rich aether!

Vicus Messorum #2 (X: 11.0, Y: 11.1) - The Reaper Village Remnants

Zero: The presence of voidsent permeates this place... 　↳ Y’shtola: I would expect no less from the birthplace of the reaper's art. Estinien: The reaper village. Or what remains of it... Alisaie: Is this the village Jullus told us about? Y’shtola: A most curious place indeed. Galatea Parva #1: <crick-crack> Come for training, are you? Galatea Parva #2: <creeeak> Ready your scythe! Galatea Parva #3: This will <snap> warm you up. Dated Recors: The assaults from outside tribes have markedly increased of late. The Geraldines proved an especially barbarous thorn in our sides, their nigh ceaseless pillaging no doubt an effort to hoard supplies in preparation for the coming winter. No longer able to tolerate the damages suffered by these incursions, the senate issued an order for their king's assassination, and we reapers were asked to ready our blades. With three of her fellows in tow, Galatea set out under cover of night and infiltrated the enemy fortress. Their mission was a great success which soon put the enemy to rout. Faded Records: Emperor Solus is convinced this magitek will spark a revolution in warfare as we know it. And as he devotes further resources to its advancement, our arts continue to fall out of favor. I fear the age of the reaper has come to an end. After all our forebears have sacrificed for the good of the Empire. The blood spilled, the lives lost. They would dare deem us relics of a bygone era. Indeed, they believe the future lies with their “reaper” battle armor. Trainee Warning Notice: Aspirants are reminded not to approach the figures of the Pale Harvest without express permission. They should be treated with no less reverence than Galatea herself, and are hardly less dangerous. Only those who have successfully forged a pact with an avatar may spar with the Galatea Parva. They will serve to refine one's use of invocations and tactical coordination. The Galatea Magna, however, is reserved for those who are able to serve as host to their avatar. This periculous manikin is designed to push a reaper to their limits, if not beyond them. Learn to walk in death's shadow, and you shall know no fear. Dollmaster’s Memorandum: Maintenance of the Galateae must be handled with the utmost of care. The delicate art of their making has long since been lost, making repairs difficult, and reproduction all but impossible. The knowledge was kept secret, passed down to those who would inherit the position of master dollmaker. That is, until one man chose to break with tradition. He claimed to be leaving on a journey in pursuit of an “unparalleled beauty,” but we never learned the truth of it. The only thing that is certain, is the art of our forebears left with him.

Second Boss, Before engaging (X: 11.2, Y: 8.9) - Galatea Magna

Varshahn: Magicked puppets? Here? 　↳ Alisaie: And equipped for combat training. How delightful... Alphinaud: What possessed them to create such automata? Estinien: Voidsent, I expected. But puppets...? Y’shtola: Despite their menacing demeanor, they're quite charming.

Second Boss, During the fight (X: 11.2, Y: 8.9) - Galatea Magna

Galatea Magna: Commencing basic training regimen. <crack> Your time to completion will be recorded. Galatea Magna: Leave no openings. Your strikes must be quick and decisive. Galatea Magna: That concludes your basic training. Commencing <crick-crack> advanced training regimen. Galatea Magna: Remain calm and collected, no matter your circumstances. Galatea Magna: Remember─you must hone your skills daily. It will be key to your survival. Second Boss, After defeating (X: 11.2, Y: 8.9) - Galatea Magna Galatea Magna: <creak> Regimen complete. Evaluation ranking: 12. Not even the lowest order of voidsent would be daunted by such meager strength. Galatea Magna: <creak> Regimen complete. Evaluation ranking: 9. Your mastery of fundamentals will carry you far. Continue your training and seek ever greater heights. Galatea Magna: <creak> Regimen complete. Evaluation ranking: 7. A respectable performance. Such strength would prove a match for even warrior-class voidsent. Galatea Magna: <creak> Regimen complete. Evaluation ranking: 5. A commendable performance. Such strength would prove a match for even knight-class voidsent. Galatea Magna: <creak> Regimen complete. Evaluation ranking: 3. A spectacular performance. Such strength might even prove a match for Galatea herself were she still alive. Galatea Magna: <creak> Regimen complete. Evaluation ranking: 2. Impossible... Only Rullus has achieved such a feat. Galatea Magna: <creak> Regimen complete. Evaluation ranking: 1. Even the great rulers of voidsent would struggle to contend with such strength. Galatea Magna: <creak> Regimen complete. An equal to Drusilla. Extraordinary... Zero: That doll was not unlike a voidsent... 　↳ Alisaie: We can muse about that later. Let's get going. Varshahn: Come, let us make haste. Estinien: At the very least, it made for good sport. Alisaie: That certainly was a challenge. Y’shtola: A masterfully crafted doll.

Fons Manalis #1 (X: 9.5, Y: 13.2) - Fons Manalis

Estinien: That was quite a fall. 　↳ Y’shtola: Thankfully we emerged unscathed. Alphinaud: Is everyone all right? Zero: Ugh... Alisaie: Gods, that startled me. Y’shtola: Let us proceed with caution.

Fons Manalis #2 (X: 10.9, Y: 11.1) - The Voidgate

Y’shtola: There─the voidgate! 　↳ Varshahn: At last, we've found it. Varshahn: Azdaja! I sense she is close! Zero: There it is. Estinien: On your guard, everyone! Alisaie: So the gate really was here. Visitant Satana #1: Trespassers! Visitant Satana #2: Stop them!

Third Boss, Before engaging (X: 12.6, Y: 9.3) - Cagnazzo

Cagnazzo: Hah hah hah! All shall cower before the might of Archfiend Cagnazzo! Estinien: This one seems formidable. 　↳ Y’shtola: To be appointed as an archfiend, I should certainly think so. Varshahn: What is it they seek? Alphinaud: No doubt it is here to guard the gate. Estinien: This one's not at all like the others. Alisaie: It looks a lot like the Kojin. Y’shtola: An archfiend... So this is Golbez's doing.

Third Boss, During the fight (X: 12.6, Y: 9.3) - Cagnazzo

Cagnazzo: I've been waiting so long. Don't disappoint! Cagnazzo: Brace yourselves! The chamber begins to fill with water... Cagnazzo: I bring my all to bear! Cagnazzo: Drink deep of blackest terror! Cagnazzo: I wonder how you'll taste. Cagnazzo: You really must try harder! Cagnazzo: Battle does so whet the appetite. Gheh heh heh heh! Spires of water begin amassing aether... Cagnazzo: No more games! Cagnazzo: Be swallowed by the tide! Varshahn: Is everyone all right? Zero: Still in one piece. Y’shtola: It will take more than that to stop us. Alphinaud: Hold fast, everyone! Cagnazzo: What!? That's not right! Cagnazzo: How do you like this? A malevolent energy spills forth from the void... Cagnazzo: Good, good. A fitting finale! Cagnazzo: Grrr, why are you still alive!?

Third Boss, After defeating (X: 12.6, Y: 9.3) - Cagnazzo

Varshahn: I feel your presence, Sister. Where are you? Alphinaud: Why do you suppose they chose here for their lair? Zero: That they could open so large a gate is troubling. Estinien: So goes yet another archfiend. Alisaie: Well, that was a challenge.Y’shtola: I've never seen a voidsent with such command over water.

Dhruya - Manali Memories

A gift on the anniversary of the birth of a most spectacular individual, @burningsheepcrown. My dearest friend, may the coming year be filled with new adventures, more stories, and so much joy. 

This is for you, I hope you like it:

*For context, Manali is a beautiful township nestled in the picturesque Beas River valley. It is a rustic enclave known for its cool climate and snow-capped mountains, offering respite to tourists escaping scorching heat of the plains. The tourism industry in Manali started booming only in the early 20th century, mainly because of its natural bounties and salubrious climate.

“I can hear your teeth chattering from inside the room.” Dhruva said as he slid the balcony door closed behind him to keep the warmth in. He was suitably dressed in thick pants and a soft sweater.

“That’s cause it’s f-f-freezing out h-here!” Daya replied. He was standing with his back to Dhruva, too enraptured by the view to look at his boyfriend. He had his arms wrapped around himself in a hug, rubbing up his arms to try and warm himself. He was notably not dressed for the weather in his beach shorts and sleeveless undershirt.

“I’m sure your clothing choices don’t help either.” Dhruva remarked dryly, letting the blanket in his arms tumble open before draping them around Daya’s shoulders, and closing them down his front his his arms in a hug.

Daya sighed in relief as he sank his weight back onto Dhruva, confident the other man would catch him. A serene smile had settled on his face, and when he opened his eyes to look at Dhruva from where he was resting on his shoulder, they were filled with joy. Dhruva’s own heart flipped in his chest, quickening its pace as his arms squeezed his partner tighter. He leaned forward to nip at the tip of Daya’s nose, chuckling when the man scrunched his face adorably. Dhruva sighed, resting his cheek on top of Daya’s head to take in the view.

It truly was spectacular. They had gotten a room at the back of the hotel, so instead of facing over the city of Manali, they had an uninterrupted view of the forests and mountains. With a temperature approximately 20 degrees below their usual, the chill rose up even though their wool socks.

The trip had been spontaneous, for all that the idea had been rattling around in his head since that one night in the beach. They had been on their nightly walk, just enjoying the sound of the waves against the shore as they let the tensions of the day ebb away. Dhruva couldn’t remember how they had ended up on that topic, but he had spoken about how his training and schooling had given him opportunities to see many different parts of the country. Daya had smiled sadly, kicking at the sand as he said with forced casualness that he had barely ventured outside the city, much less the state.

And suddenly, the questions in his head of what special thing he could do for Daya had been resolved. Of course, their luck being what it was, no sooner had Dhruva looked up ticket prices, did they get slammed with a huge case that had taken a couple months to fully wrap up. Between the undercover work, the coordinating with the different districts, and the spooked crew splitting in all four directions, they had barely had a chance to catch their breath, much less spend time with each other outside of the office. What time they did get mostly involved them coming home, and face planting on the bed until the alarm went off the next morning.

But the case was resolved, and they weren’t due to testify for another couple weeks. Dhruva had coordinated everything with Murthi-ji, and only once he was sure that nothing would pop up to interrupt their get away, he had booked the tickets the very next day. Keeping Daya in suspense was a task of itself, but worth it for the look on the older man’s face as they’d approached their destination. The flight from Vizag to Delhi had been uneventful outside of Daya being restless, and earning quite a few glares from their fellow passengers.

Daya had protested when Dhruva had hauled him away from the city taxis to the car rental stand, saying they weren’t staying in Delhi, and badgered him the whole trip, until the scenery started to change.

Once the winter landscapes of Manali came into view, he had fallen into a stunned bewitchment, mouth open as he swiveled his head from left to right to capture the whole view. As they exited the highway to start going up the mountainous roads, Dhruva also felt the enchantment starting to affect him. As they drove through the curving roads, each turn revealed more and more mountains, the tallest ones disappearing above the clouds, and capped in white. The trees were coniferous, and rose a hundred feet tall, towering over the canyons and valleys, seeming to compete with the rocks to touch to the sky as well. The road itself was mostly free, the occasional car passing them, or coming from the opposite direction.

Dhruva’s smile had been more demure, but his chest was filled with warmth. Reaching a hand out, Dhruva had squeezed Daya’s thigh, and left his free hand there for the rest of the drive to the hotel. It was a long drive despite setting out from Delhi in the early hours of the morning, taking them the better part of the day, and they switched driving every so often to avoid getting leg cramps.

By the time they’d reached the lodge, night had fallen The entire town was light up in the most picturesque fashion. Daya had inhaled his dinner in record speed before racing back up to their room’s balcony to enjoy the view.

It had taken longer than Dhruva had anticipated to drag his partner back in, assuring him that the view would be better when it wasn’t pitch black. Daya had been more obliging when he realized Dhruva had conveniently forgotten to pack night clothes.

“What do you think?” Dhruva asked as they gazed out at the luscious greenery and the great mountains that rose up beyond the clouds in the distance. The skies were the perfect blue, with great white clouds that begged to be touched.

“While I could never give up the sea, I understand why people stay near the mountains.” Daya said, surprising Dhruva.

“They are pretty incredible.”

“Never seen anything like this before.”

Dhruva ducked down to nip at Daya’s ear, “Well, now you have.”

He unwrapped his arms from Daya, letting the other man catch the ends of the blanket as he went back to the room to retrieve the coffee tray. Daya shifted to one of the balcony chairs, leaning against the back, pulling the blanket to drape over his legs and abdomen. Dhruva handed him his cup of coffee before settling in the other chair, tucking one foot beneath his opposite thigh. Dhruva hummed as the hot coffee trickled down his throat, leaning his head back with his eyes closed.

A sudden inhale from Daya had his opening his eyes as he surveyed their surroundings. Before he could speak though, Daya kicked him lightly, pointing with his neck at the far corner of the balcony. On the top railing, a small bird sat, shaking out its feathers before it started to preen itself. Dhruva went as quiet and as slow as possible to avoid startling the bird, pulling out his phone from his pocket to open his camera and snap a photo. The phone’s volume was on though, and at the sound of the shutter going off, the bird cawed and jumped away, spreading its wings to head straight for the mountains.

“Did you get it?” Daya asked, as Dhruva cursed the phone.

“Yeah.” Dhruva admitted grumpily. Luckily the picture had turned out well. He extended his phone to Daya, who grabbed it. Daya finished the last of his coffee, placing the cup back on the tray. He weaved his hands together and stretched, cracking his back. “So how long as we staying?”

“Murthi-ji assured me he can hold down the fort till Wednesday.”

Daya’s eyebrows rose. “5 days?”

Dhruva grinned. “If we were going to take a holiday, I wanted to enjoy it, not rush it over a weekend.”

Daya ducked his head, but Dhruva could make out the pleased smile anyways.

“What’s on the agenda then?”

“We are just going to take it easy. Look around the down, and a couple nearby attractions. I’ve booked us an all day hike tomorrow-”

Daya groaned. “Bangaram, you just said we are on holiday.”

Dhruva stared him down. “In Manali. This is my first time here too, and I’ve never hiked the Himalayas before. It’ll be fun.”

Daya squinted at him. “Do you remember that conversation where I explained to you how our ideas of fun differ…”

Dhruva rolled his eyes. “Let’s see if you still think this after the hike.”

Daya sighed. “And the rest of the time?”

“There’s a lot of activities. We can choose after the hike. There are some really famous hot springs that sound really good too.”

That perked Daya up. “Hot springs? Like from the movies? Those exist in India?”

Dhruva laughed. “Everything is there in India, you just have to know where to go.”

Daya hummed. “I’m surprised. We are here for 5 days, and you only have a proper plan for 2 of them.”

Dhruva shrugged, hoping his blush wasn’t obvious. “I didn’t want to overload our trip.”

Daya smirked, rising from his chair to cross over to Dhruva’s, looming over him. Dhruva swallowed, breath hitching as one of Daya’s hands came to rest at the top of his thigh. “Was that the only reason?”

Dhruva was saved from responding when Daya sealed them mouths in a kiss that stole the breath from his lungs.

They ended up barely making it in time for breakfast.

///

The city was beautiful, a different bustle and rhythm to Vizag that the two men enjoyed thoroughly. The trip into town was lovely, and their visits to the nearby Hadimba Devi temple and Tibetan monasteries were a very new experience for the pair.

The hike did result in Daya complaining about being dragged out of bed so early. The actual hike shut him up though, as they slowly but steadily made their way up the mountain in a walk that stole their breath away both literally and metaphorically. It was night by the time they returned to the hotel after a traditional dinner in town, and both had just enough energy to strip down to their underwear before crashing into bed.

Next day’s activity was primarily focused on a trip to the Vashist hot springs that had them wishing they never had to leave those incredible waters. It was easy to understand why the waters were said to have healing abilities, it seemed to have washed away not just all the muscle aches from the day before, but muscle tension from years on the job.

Their fourth day had involved river rafting, an experience Dhruva would treasure just for the way Daya had alternated from shouting with joy to freaking out and nearly overturning their boat. After a nice lunch, the pair had driven up to the Solang valley where Daya had lit up like a child at his first proper encounter with snow as they rode up the cable car. They had devolved to a snow fight quickly, ending up with the pain nearly collapsed on top of each other, laughing with tears streaming down their faces. The colorful paragliders that dotted the sky had captured Daya’s attention, and they had raced to the location, just barely getting squeezed into the last trips for the day. Viewing the sun set behind the mountains from up high had been a sight neither would forget for a long time.

///

Dhruva yawned as he woke up, blinking blearily as he focused on the alarm clock. 6:00 AM.

They didn’t have any solid plans for the day, just enjoying their last few hours before they set out for Delhi. Dhruva turned his head to see Daya snoring softly, one arm tucked under his face. When Dhruva tried to get out of bed, Daya made a protesting noise, tightening the leg he had thrown over Dhruva’s. Moving slowly, Dhruva had eased away to use the restroom. As he made his way back, his gaze got caught in the sliver of space where they’d not pulled the curtain, and his eyes widened.

He hurried back to Daya, shaking him until the man woke up, glaring at him. “What?”

Dhruva’s excited face had Daya blinking and repeating his question in a more curious tone. Dhruva urged him to get dressed in his winter clothes, and went to the balcony, dragging Daya with him. Daya’s sharp inhale was very loud.

Snow was fluttering lightly to the ground, seeming to coat the entire world in a layer of white.

“It’s beautiful.”

Dhruva reached out to grab Daya’s hand blindly, squeezing it tightly. The early morning chill was making itself felt, but neither felt the slightest inclination to move. Until Daya tugged on their entwined hands to drag Dhruva against his side, grabbing the back of his neck and kissing him in a clash of teeth. Dhruva clutched at Daya’s waist, molding himself against the man. When the kiss ended, they separated but an inch, leaning their foreheads together.

“Thank you.” Daya whispered, for once no jest or or hesitation in his voice. Just a sincerity and a confession wrapped in one.

Dhruva’s heart skipped a beat. “Happy anniversary, Bangaram.”

“That was a couple weeks ago.” Daya huffed.

Dhruva smiled sheepishly. “Couldn’t exactly wish you when I was in the middle of a drug bust.”

Daya’s hands squeezed him, pulling him back in for a kiss.

It was hard to say how long they stayed out there, but when their feet lost feeling, the pair was forced back to their bedroom.

The drive back to Delhi, and the subsequent flight back to Vizag were filled with a sense of wonder, both feeling like they had not only discovered a new layer to themselves, but also reveled in the beauty of sharing it with their lover.

Whatever happened next, this would be a trip they would remember till their dying day.

///

(I do feel like it is a bit rough, and spent way more time on the first half and cheated with the actual trip description but I was on a deadline. Hope you can understand... 😅

Also I have never been to Manali, but hey, I’m a writer and that job description is all about making stuff up about stuff you’ve never experienced so...)

"For every trial and sorrow that God makes us shoulder, He has a reason." ~Khaled Hosseini.

A year has surpassed, since my anxiety disorder.

But even now, as the sun sways on the clouds at evenings, I can feel the remnants of the disorder. The anxiety penetrating deep within the edges of my belly, and the waves of the new-found atheism.

My disbelief in my God, Madhav.

I went to a couple of people for my anxiety. From the pathologist, to the school teachers, to the school counsellor, to friends, and lastly, to my aunt.

"Do yoga. Go meditate, it's good for anxiety,"

"You worry alot, and you overthink stuff. Why do you want to add more?"

"Itna tension nahi leneka. Be happy."

Imagine you're walking in a tunnel with a herd of people walking like sheeps. You're screaming; full throated cries. Yet, nobody in the tunnel can hear you. Yes, it feels exactly like that.

When the anxiety started, at cold dusks,

I would be on the brink of death.

Thoughts would nuzzle around my mind, like a snake caging its prey with its tail.

My hands would tremble and my breathing would occur with labour.

The fear, the stress, would slowly creep down to the belly of my abdomen and I could do nothing.

I had foreseen a panic attack.

I saw it coming.

Gently, it walked towards me in March.

One flaming hot summer noon,

In a caged toilet, with warm wind gushing through the windows, the attack began.

I remember traces; I was banging on the locked toilet door, with palms turned into fists, and I could not speak.

Words wouldn't fumble out of my mouth and I would helplessly bang on the oak door.

When I was released out of the toilet, the attack raced with a deadly speed.

My cheekbones, my lips, and my mouth went entirely numb. I can remember the tears flowing out of my eyes, and being incapable in providing life to my numb mouth.

"WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE ALL OF THIS? OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO COULD SUFFER, WHY ME? WHY ME?" I didn't realise I was screeching until my mother ran her fingers over the temple of my head, her eyes packed with tears.

I healed at the end of may, and the beginning of June.

After gazing at the monuments in Delhi, to the organized streets in Chandigarh, to the snow-capped mountains in Manali, to the flower gardens in Dalhousie, to the temple in Amritsar and lastly, with the soldiers at Wagha border.

With people, with places, and with memories,

I realised that life is now.

Life is in the present. Life is in the moment that I live, life is now that I'm writing.

Life is this.

My aunt, in east Maharashtra, was a messenger sent by Madhav, which we both believe in.

"You have taken the steering wheel of your life from Madhav. Return it back, divya. Let him drive. Let him take care of the speed and destination. You sit beside him and enjoy the journey. And trust him again. He won't let the brakes fail."

"It doesn't matter how many times you water a mango seed, for it will only ever bear fruits in summers."

"The only two things that you should focus on are; what you want in life and what will you do to achieve it."

She healed me.

At the end of the summer, on the brink of an upcoming monsoon,

In the garden, I met Madhav again.

In my dreams, I dream of peacock feathers and summers.

I dream that I am sitting beside the driver's seat and am gazing at the buildings that I grew up with.

"What happened?" Madhav asked.

I grinned; all teeth.

"Winters are parting," I answered.

"What do you see, Divya?" He asked standing beside me.

"I see the dawn of a rising sun."

"I will never let this sun set." He promised.

Now, as the fear of academic pressure looms over me, as new books, new publications await me,

I smile.

"Let me live now." i mutter.

I can see Madhav's eyes cramming with tears for the first time in days and a smile beaming at the dawn.
