FFXIV Write Entry #25: The Best Cure

Prompt: call it a day || Master Post || On AO3

--

“I am nob sick.”

“Uh huh.”

“I’m nob!”

Synnove gave her knight her very best “I Know You Speak Bullshite” look that she normally leveraged on carbuncles and students. Aymeric’s answering scowl would have been a more effective rebuttal if his hair wasn’t disheveled, his eyes not watery, and his nose not bright red.

“You have run yourself ragged,” Synnove said, hands on her hips, “and now you’re paying the price for spreading yourself so thin.”

“Dere’s too much to—ACHOO!”

Aymeric got his arm up just in time to sneeze into his elbow. And then a second time, and a third, in quick succession.

“Darling, you have a very competent second-in-command and an equally competent new political secretary, you can take the bloody time to rest and get better.”

An authoritative mew drifted up from next to Synnove’s shin. She pointed down. “See! Lady Crème agrees with me!”

The Ala Kharan cat leaped up onto the bed, then sat primly with her tail curled over her paws, and stared at Aymeric. Aymeric refused to look at his mother’s cat, instead trying to scowl again at Synnove. “If I always did what the cab wanted,” and now he seemed to be vainly trying to ignore how his congestion was only getting worse with every word he spoke, “I would neber ged anyding done.”

Synnove narrowed her eyes.

“Tyr.”

The topaz carbuncle popped his head over the side of the bed, and, like Lady Crème, stared. Now Aymeric looked concerned.

“Sit.”

Boof!

Aymeric tried to scramble away, Lady Crème hissing angrily at being jarred, but too late: Tyr was crawling up the bed. As soon as his hindlegs were on the mattress, the enormous carbuncle threw himself forward to flop on Aymeric’s legs and torso. Aymeric went flat on his back with an oof!

Synnove smiled. “Good boy, Tyr.”

Another wordless boof, this one smug, as Tyr drew himself up into a proper loaf shape. For good measure, he swished his tails to the side to drape over Aymeric’s face. Lady Crème stalked up the bedsheets to claim one of the pillows next to Aymeric’s head.

“You fight dirty,” Aymeric grumbled, voice further muffled by both snot and carbuncle tails.

“I fight to win,” Synnove said, smug, as she walked around the bed. “I’ve already gave Lucia a call on the ‘pearl, and I’ll be contacting Norlaise shortly.”

“Conspiracies.”

She snickered, and brushing the tips of Tyr’s tails out of the way, she leaned over and kissed Aymeric’s forehead. “I’m going to go help Hersande make some chicken noodle soup,” she said. “I’ll come check up on you in a bell. If you need anything, just tell Tyr and he’ll come get me.”

“Fiiiiiine,” came the sulky whine. A pause. “I love you.”

“I love you, too.” Synnove gave an ear scratch to both Tyr and Lady Crème, and then headed out of the bedroom.

Aymeric was snoring by the time she closed the door.

A sharp, reliable, easy-to-use sword

Arslan Senki : : Zandeh, Gurgin

Zandeh cares

for @innerchorus

"Listen, magician… Is it true that you worship Zahhak?"

Gurgin slowly turns his head, as if he have just seen Zandeh standing here.

"Why are you so interested, son of Kharan?"

"Because it's very dangerous! It's Zahhak!"

"Zahhak, Arslan's army, Turan, Lusitanians - there are a lot of things around that are dangerous."

"You do not understand!" Zandeh gets excited, infuriated by his indifference. "Yes, there are Turan and Arslan, but Zahhak is completely different!"

Instead of answering, the magician raises an eyebrow - so what?

Zandeh strains his brain, trying to formulate an elusive tought. It is difficult to explain the idea that is already obvious to him, but for the sake of the wizard, Zandeh is ready to try.

"Here!" He proclaims triumphantly. "Turan and Lusitania are enemies, but they ane ones only when we are at war with them. And when we are not at war with them, we can, well, deal with them. So… I mean, when they are our enemies, they are evil, and when they are not enemies, they are good. Understand? And Zahhak is not good for anyone! He's nobody's friend. He is evil for everyone!"

He reads a sudden understanding in Gurgin's eyes and considers it as a convince of his own rightness.

"That's it!" Zandeh nods to indicate the conversation is over. "So come on, stop with it now!"

Gurgin's answer sounds completely different from whatever he expected.

"Tell me, Zandeh… Imagine you've found a good sword on the battlefield, beautiful and sharp one, and it is just right for your hand, and you think: "I can protect my friends with this weapon!" So tell me, would you care about who owned this sword before?"

"Well… I don't know." Zandeh feels confused a bit. "If he was a good man and if he is alive, I will probably try to return the sword to him."

"What if he was a bad person? If he was a villain and you know it?"

"Then hell no!"

For a moment Gurgin is silent. Zandeh wants him to continue, curious what's next about the sword - but the wizard's answer is unexpected again.

"I grew up in the Temple of Mithras."

If Zandeh knew how carefully Gurgin keeps in secret all the details of his life, he would be flattered by this revellation. But he didn't. The Priests of Mithra are real sorcerers, and now Zandeh understand why Gurgin is so smart.

"Great! They say it's so hard to get there!"

"I left it."

If Zandeh expected a fairy tale about the life in Mithras' Temple, there will be not.

"I hadn't find what I wanted there. Wisdom. Magic. Power. And then I swore I would find a place I could get all of that."

The wizard raises his head, and Zandeh meets his piercing (wolfish, someone would say. But not Zandeh) look.

"Do you understand me? Have you ever feel the same, son of Karan? And now when I have gained the power to protect those who are dear to me - does it matter, Zandeh, does it matter where I got it from?"

Zandeh draws from his words the only one conclusion: this idiot is not going to break up with Zahhak. Then another idea come to his mind: he's a clever devil, the magician, maybe he can slip away even from the Serpent King? at least for now, and then Zandeh will chat him up or come up with something else. And Zandeh resigns himself - for now.

"Then just… take care of yourself, magician. And be careful there."

Gurgin snorts. Maybe this strange sound means laughter.

"I can definitely promise you that, son of Kharan."

she is the Kharan desert holding so much life beneath her surface hidden from those not willing to search not willing to see not willing to believe in the oasis on the horizon

i drink from her cool waters  she gives me life and wraps me in her warmth knowing that she can be cold at night if not properly prepared

she possesses such immense beauty yet holds much danger sifting beneath my feet ever changing she will look even more beautiful tomorrow

…if i live that long

In a distant future, where the remnants of Earth's civilizations had dispersed into the cosmos, the knowledge of ancient empires like the Seljuk had become rare, almost mythical. Among these fragments of human history floated the story of a mysterious being known as Kharan, the Harvester of Stars, whose visage merged the ancient with the celestial.

Kharan hailed from a forgotten corner of the galaxy, a planet named Orbis Tertius, where the inhabitants had developed a unique culture that worshiped astronomical phenomena and the cycles of nature, a society deeply influenced by the long-lost lore of the Seljuk Empire. They adapted the empire’s military and architectural brilliance to suit their needs in space, building armadas of starships designed after the intricate Seljuk patterns and monuments.

The Harvester himself was a creation of their highest technological and biological engineering, designed to embody the virtues and powers of their gods. His skin was a canvas of cosmic twilight, muscles rippling like the surface of stars, and his heart—a furnace of nuclear reactions, pulsating with the raw power of a supernova.

Kharan's role was both spiritual and practical. He wandered through the cosmos, gathering the essence of life from dying planets and stars. His crown, an intricate weave resembling the Tree of Life, absorbed cosmic energies that could rejuvenate or obliterate worlds. His chest was open to the universe, revealing a glowing core of harvested starlight, red and furious, surrounded by fruits symbolizing the life that thrives in the cosmos.

One fateful cycle, Kharan stumbled upon a forgotten artifact, a relic of the Seljuk Empire itself, drifting through the void of space—a digital archive containing vast knowledge of their governance, culture, and scientific achievements. The relic spoke of a prophecy, a renaissance that could occur if the ancient wisdom was reintegrated with the modern universe.

Driven by this newfound purpose, Kharan shifted his mission. No longer just a harvester, he became a sower of life and knowledge. Traveling from one dying civilization to another, he used the Seljuk teachings to help them revitalize their worlds, blending ancient terrestrial wisdom with the needs of space-faring societies. His crown not only absorbed energy but also disseminated the stored knowledge and life-force into the barren landscapes of new worlds.

Through his journeys, Kharan evolved into a symbol of resurgence and hope, a bridge between the forgotten past and a potential future. He was both guardian and herald, carrying the legacy of the Seljuk Empire across the cosmos, ensuring that their name, like his own, would never be lost to the stars.

The breathing space of my wanting to express, and my wanting to learn, are combative. So let's have them meet, and let's assume that they're friendly - that they _want_ to know each other.

I so badly don't like this - I so badly do not like stretching out my imagination, or foraging for inspiration. I'm reliant on marking a point of impulse. Photography, my thoughts on sin - When I find the point of excitement, I demand that it be taken up. Fascinatingly, that may just be my downfall. no, let's not say downfall, but let's agree that this revelation is interesting, and that acknowledging it could lead to a deeper understanding of self.

okay, so, what I'm observing is a comfort in relying on inspiration. On pressure. I'm observing a lack of familiarity in building pressure from a space in which there is none.

And pressure doesn't even sound correct.

I assume that inspiration, excitement from my own imagination, can only occur without my intervention. That it's not about the space I allot it. And yet, I'm always feening for more space - more breathing room. So let's do it.

---

a show sounds so daunting. I assume that I'll do it wrong. Incorrectly. This show won't be as good as that show. I'm this old, why would I not have put more thought into it?

So what I'm missing is, the foundation of a selection o f images.

I can't assume that I'll go into it with a narrative. I don't shoot from narrative. I can make you feel good is a great set of images, but I do believe Mitchel largely gets away with a lack of narrative but encompassing all of the images into one grander idea.

The Altitude Talking is in the same vein.

However, I'm not sure that's the show IO want to perform, that I have the tools available to deliver the message.

I am Trying - Really Hard.

Why? To what end? And trying how?

I am trying to make you proud.

I only feel, so recently, that I have a vision that I'm not interested in your approving of. but I don't understand that vision for myself.

I go back to Kharan - a time when I felt like I made photos that I cared about, in a place that I found interesting, for. person I wanted to make pictures for.

It just goes back to people - but then there is a symbolism that I'd like to carry.

Tension - that as you are or do one thing, you are affecting another. That there is something that waits or lurks, or ponders around you. That balance is temporal. When Kenneth flies, he only lifts so far, and although it's no technical feat, the image is that he rests in the air of believable. What if more images were from this in-between state. A tension that made your stomach tighten.

The gift of photo is that it can hold you in a place that allows your imagination to wander. when looking at a body, it can allow you to imagine the physicality of that pose, the tension in muscles, the concentration - it requests a physical interrogation.

Mess - that there is no such thing as perfect, even when everything looks to be. That perfection is tainted once too much effort is exhibited in order to keep the illusion alive. Mess looks like several elements - in front and behind. Mess looks like posing not erectly center, or in the midst of chaos. I think of mess feeling more psychological than visual, though. Although, mess creates more visual stimulation. It's not calming. It's an abstract - it's a painting. Yes, something was done, an act was conducted, a meeting, a motion. For me, I have links to it all, but I'm not interested in controlling where you go with it.
