17. Have you ever gotten sheer joy out of hurting someone else, either physically or mentally? To whom and why? Did it scare you?

“Yes.”

The admission is quick, and is carried forward in a dry tone. Then silence falls like sleeplessness over the dunes of Gyr Abania. It feels as though Otolin doesn’t know what to say, and he paces back and forth once. Twice. 

“Physically. Mentally. Both, at the same time,” he answers in a quiet tone. “It’s... you learned to enjoy doing it at some point. Had to. Some were better at it than others. A few excelled from the moment they had the opportunity to... revel in it, to have that control. To feel something in a wasteland.” 

A brief pause.

“I could talk about how... the number of people, the who... Garleans, merchants, traders, members of the... the other groups out in the north. You can guess. I don’t know if I... fear wasn’t something you felt. The joy took over, just the feeling of... feeling something because...” He continues, filling the space with careful words. “... Because out there, apathy is death.”

The pacing stops. 

“No, it’s worse than that because at least... carrion feeds beasts and insects.”

“No it is not but I’m here to make sure there is no disturbance.” She looked away from the man and shrugged. “But I suppose there is no harm to be done, everything seems innocent enough. I’m glad that you enjoy to learn more of the culture…”

“It is the least I can do. It is the home of my beloved’s grandsire, so I should come to understand it better.”

    The Elezen shrugs lightly as well as he glances up at the masonry, smiling softly. “I know better than to disturb it, or to cause further trouble for the home of one whose heart must ache so... but it is refreshing to see man and moogle work together to restore it, is it not~?”

Did you enjoy the surge of power given by Nidhogg?

His face dropped and he began to rub his temples with his index fingers. Estinien had pushed such thoughts away, hoping with time many would have forgotten his folly.  

                       “ At the moment… It was the most amazing feeling I had ever come across. All I wished for was for it to continue, for more power. “

He shivered at his own words. His memories were quite hazy of those moments he received such an immense surge of power, but he could recall every nerve ending being set alight. 

             “ However, such power comes with a heavy price and I paid for it. The pain which followed after… The whisper of the wyrm became more frequent and louder. I-I do not know if I would ever do such a thing again. “

Long time no see | anyxtrine

It wasn’t often that the hyur found himself in the Holy See, wanting to avoid the place at all costs. With his hand in the crystal trade, he reluctantly found himself attending the meetings his retainers didn’t want to. It was beginning to be bothersome, having to visit this place that was nothing but a reminder of his greatest loss. It was torturous catching a glimpse of the people he used to call his parents. Yet for as much agony as it brought him, he couldn’t really stay away from them. Hoping, that by chance, seeing him would spark anything. It was always the same result, only being courteous to him because he was a warrior of light. He was starting to accept they were no longer his family.

He found himself in Ishgard on business once again, wandering around the Jeweled Crozier after his last meeting for the trip. A familiar figure caught his eye among the crowd, and following would reveal why. It was his mother, walking alongside the small girl who would be his little sister.  The hyur tried to pay them no mind, but when he saw they were walking further away from the Pillars his curiosity was piqued. He followed them all the way to the Foundation, and became worried when she continued to walk further along. It shocked him how long it took him to notice the baskets they were carrying, and when they descended a flight of stairs into the Brume, it became obvious what they meant to do. He dashed forward, hoping to catch them before they reached any of the locals. Zanel knew fully well how they reacted to charity, especially from nobles.  What he saw when he finally got closer was not what he expected. The people were friendly towards her, happy that she was visiting. The sight reminded him so much of how she used to be when he would visit home. He tried to hide himself from view while still keeping an eye on her, though he was doing a horrible job at trying to blend in with his current attire.

Hate will not Heal you

anyxtrine

Snow fell helplessly, gently sticking to Estinien’s armor before melting soon after. The day was dreadfully cold and it did not seem to be letting up anytime soon. With a heavy sigh he continued forward into the snow. 

A dragon. Such was what he was searching for. He had heard reports of a dragon terrorizing the civilians, paralyzing them with fear of venturing outside of their homes. The dreaded wrym could not be far.

Suddenly, a woman came into his view. He had to wonder the reasoning for her outing. It was extremely cold, temperatures likely to dip even more than originally though, and with the wrath of the dragon about. Perhaps she did not know of the danger she was allowing herself to be in.

As he neared the girl, he was struck by an odd sensation. Her presence did not seem to be that of a normal human. It felt as though she was shielding herself from the world, as if under a guise. This presence was familiar with the dragoon, however, he did not wish to make any sharp conclusions.

              “ Do excuse my intrusion, my lady. “

His voice held steady as he studied her. Her appearance did not evoke any sort of malice towards him. Nevertheless, he kept his guard up and was placed on alert. He bowed his head to the woman, continuing to speak all the while.

                 “ I do not wish to interrupt you, however, there have been reports of a fearsome dragon disturbing the nearby settlement. It is not safe for you to be out at this moment. “

Another pause before he created his offer for the other. He did wish for her to freeze nor to be swallowed whole by dragons. He always wanted to understand this odd presence emanating from her.    

“ If you would like, I could lead you back to the settlement... Unless you live somewhere else? “
