"stop being a blanket hog..." Leon grumbled. (for whoever)

      “Well, either lay closer or stop complaining,” Cloud said as he tugged on the blanket.

[finalhxaven]

Who knew how long it had been since Cloud had been home. But there he was, standing in the doorway to the bar. His clothes were a mess along with the rest of him. Wherever he had been, it looked like he had been outside for a long time. "Tifa.." he breathed out quiet almost afraid to say the word. Taking a few steps in the blond tripped and stumbled to the floor.

☆ It was closing time. Past eleven and she wouldn’t be able to wake up before the kids the following morning. So the bar lights dimmed and last call was made, the stir of customers at her counter a thrill all it’s own compared to the first hour in. She twisted her wrists and made bottle flips, poured and let fall alcohol across the glasses lined up. When the gil piled up in her apron, Tifa announced closing and cut them all off consecutively. Too much shouting would wake the small ones upstairs, but the regulars always got that. Yet, time moved forward even without her consent. And she was trying to move with it. Her fingers curled about the bar stool legs as she flipped them, but the sound of forced entry made her more alert than weary body had intended for that night. She rushed to the door only to find Cloud walking in, his bare arms dirty and fingers white. He had collapsed unto the floor.

“Cloud? What… I… Hey, hey! Are you okay?”

Mugen Tsukuyomi

Send my Muse “Mugen Tsukuyomi” to get a glimpse of what their dream life would be

Most likely the most defining event in Sceada’s young life, the moment his mother finally and ultimately cast him away, threw him away and not just gave up on him but took everything he ever had from him - But what if it had never come to that? What if Sceada had never had to leave Burmecia and walk the path he walked…?

–Featuring: Calisto Ganymede @burmecianknight, Lancia Almathia Coral @eternalharvestpriestess-blog​,  Binrril Reep Balthazar @burmecianpaladin​

The sun was standing high over the barren desert, producing a dry heat that the Burmecian quite frankly did not take kindly to. He much prefered the rains and the humidity that defined his native city, but he had grown to tolerate the climate here. After all, this was hardly his first visit here in the Cleyran’ desert. And he was in no position to let his dislike for the parching weather show either…

“So! Why are we going to Cleyra again, FreTy?”

The brown haired Burmecian, clad in a simple white shirt, a pair of brown linen pants and a blue vest, cannot suppress a sigh when the cheerful voice of the younger female rings out in a tone most teasing.

“I told you not to call me like that…. please Calisto, show me some respect, will you?”

“Ah, I suppose I should… - but that’s no fun! Your name is kinda… boring on it’s own, you know…”

Oh no… that discussion again. The Burmecian with the sapphire blue eyes glanced over his shoulder at the girl. Despite the non-military nature of their visit she was still wearing the familiar blue armor that all Dragon Knights in training wore, and her cheerful countenance was framed by her auburn hair. At 14 she was his junior by a good 5 years, but really, with the armor she tended to look more like his equal.

“We’ve been over this… My name isn’t any more borng than yours. It’s a noble name, chosen by my mother just like your father chose yours. We should respect that. You wouldn’t want me calling you Cali either, now would you?”

“Well… you might be surprised…”

When the pair of mentor and student later passes by the guard at the entrance to Cleyra, Calisto is still chuckling with delight while her mentor tries to hide a certain rose tint in his countenance - to no avail.

In many regards Cleyra was Burmecia’s opposite: Where the kingdom almost always was shrouded in rain, Cleyra was in the middle of the dry dessert. Where the Burmecians were known to be quite militaristic and not one to back down, the citizens of the city surrounded by a sand storm prefered the more pacifistic approach and hid away from conflict altogether. Where for a Burmecian youth the rank of Dragon Knight was the highest imaginable honor, the children of Cleyra dreamed of once becoming High Priest. Truly, they were quite different people.

And yet still, their shared ancestry, their past, their nigh identical physique proved that they weren’t all that different. They were rather like two sides of a medal. Sides, that did not get along well - at least, until recently.

By now Calisto’s mentor had become a familiar and welcome guest in Cleyra, a feat that only a handful of Burmecians had managed to pull off in the last few decades. As such Calisto’s surprised look when her mentor is greeted so warmly is completely understandable . and mayhaps even a little bit adorable.

“Uhm… FreTy…? How… how come again they treat you so much like a friend here…?”

“Well, Calisto… that’s a long story. One, I do not wish to bore you with right no-” “Then maybe I can tell it to the young lady?”

As they had been walking towards the temple, a young priestess-to-be with locks of curly red hair that fell down unto her simple white dress, had come their way and overheard the question.

“Ah, Lancia. It is good to see you again. How have you been my friend?”

“Quite well, quite well. The preparations for the big ceremony have kept me busy, but I am also so excited to finally partake in them as more than just a spectator, so-”

“Uhm, who is that woman, FreTy? Someone you know?”

“Calisto, please! Mind your manners!”

It is rare that the male shoots his protege a look quite this harsh, so when it does indeed occur at this very moment, the young female is quite startled. Just why was her mentor suddenly so strict?

“Please do forgive her Lancia, this is the first time Calisto has ever been to Cleyra so she does not know the customs yet - or the rank one such as you holds.”

“Oh please, my friend, there is no need to be so mean to the poor girl. It’s not as if I am a Priestess just yet. Much like her - and you too, don’t we forget that - I am but an apprentice yet, so please, Miss Calisto, do not worry about offending me. We are all but children of Gaia after all, are we not?” The Cleyran’s words were offered with a smile most serene and kind, a quality the young man had come to deeply admire in her.

Still, with the aspiring Priestess showing such kindness to the at most two winters younger Dragon Knight in training, he could not help but feel as if he was indirectly being scolded by her. “Lancia, please, do not make me out as the bad guy… I’m just trying to teach her some basic respect here, the very same respect she’s been lacking towards me, so-“

“But! But FreTy! I always follow your instructions and do as you tell me! And… and I do respect you! You’re my mentor after all!” Calisto seemed very eager to prove her point and spoke with passion. And it was true, she was a good student in that regard, she honored the traditions and their respective positions in the military service, despite having been born of higher rank than he had. But that wasn’t what he took offense with after all…

“Oh… oh, I see how it is. My, how amusing!” Lancia meanwhile could not help but chuckle at the scene, once she realized just what it was that had her friend so disgruntled at the young woman. “So this is all just because of her little nickname for you? Oh my! Maybe I should in that case take it up as well then! What was it again? Frey-Ty?”

“Oh no, Lancia, please… not you too…” “FreTy! It’s FreTy, Miss Lancia!” – Looks like these two ladies have found some common ground to stand on now – One can only hope this does not mean that the young man will be swept away by the tides of this…

“You could have allowed her to come inside and join the conversation too, you know.”

“Maybe… but I was looking forward to speaking with you in private Lancia. Besides, this is Calisto’s first time proper here in Cleyra, so I feel it is probably more interesting for her to look around here for a while, together with the guide you fetched for her.”

Mmh… I guess so. For us who have lived here so many years in this our town, it holds barely any wonder and surprise anymore. But for a young outsider like her, it probably must be quite exciting still. I mean, even though we barely consider it so anymore, Cleyra is a beautiful place, and a little wonder in and of itself. To a visitor’s eyes it must be quite the marvel.”

“I recall how not all too long ago I too looked at Cleyra with such eyes…”

“Don’t you mean, the eyes of a trespasser my friend? You weren’t exactly as welcome here barely two years ago as you are nowadays after all.”

“Heh, yeah, well… I suppose you are right. To think that a dare that got out of hand would lead to this… it’s still hard to believe.”

“Yet it is the truth, and we are all the gladder for it. Cleyra and Burmecia are at long last speaking to each another again, the age of isolation is about to come to an end. And I feel you are to be thanked for that.”

“Oh Lancia, please… I wasn’t the one who took up negotiations, that was the High Priest’s doing. I… merely act as a messenger, really…”

“Such modesty… After all, you know that His Augustness would likely never have sought to contact your king had it not been for this incident with you. And besides, you are more emissary than messenger, don’t you think?”

“Be that as it may… I really don’t think I did much worth praising…”

“…always the modest young soldier, hmm…? Your mother has done a fine job of raising you… FreTy.”

The grin on the red-haired priestess-to-be’s lips instantly met with a pained expression of her guest. “Oh no, not you too Lancia… - But, now that you mentioned mother, I almost forgot I still have to deliver this:”

From his pocket the young Burmecian procures a sealed letter, adorned with the crest of the kingdom and addressed to the Lady Priestess that was overseeing the training and studies of Lancia and her peers.

“Hmm… this looks quite official and important – I’ll see to it that she will receive it right away my friend. That is… unless you’d like me to stay… so we can spend some time together…”

Lancia’s words serve well to make them both sport a hearty blush – and instill an uncomfortable silence in the room for a few moments. That is, until a certain male’s voice ever so softly offers but a few select words:

“…I’d like that…”

“…and then they showed me the Antlion’s Den! I had no idea that they could be friendly too, did you know that? Well, I mean, of course you did, you’ve been to Cleyra so often, but still…”

They had left the massive tree’s trunk behind them already, but still young Calisto had much to report from her tour around the settlement, her excitement overflowing now that they were alone and she did not have to uphold the guise of a respectable guest. Her words flowed forth unhindered as her eyes beamed with wonder still, and more often than not did her mentor comment on her tales with a gentle smile and a nod.

Yes, it was good that she had enjoyed herself thus, perfect even. Knowing his protégé, she would waste no time in telling her friends all about Cleyra and its beauty, and from there then the word would continue to spread… - Perhaps that’d be a valuable resource once the proposal to openly welcome the Cleyrans in Burmecia and reestablish a proper connection had been officially brought before the council. He sure hoped it would. Even if perhaps for the wrong reasons…

“Heeey, you’re not even listening to me FreTy, are you? Heeey!”

“Hmm? Oh, sorry Calisto, I..”

“You were daydreaming about her, huh? About the young Priestess, weren’t you?”

“…Priestess-to-be. Lancia still has a few years to go before she will attain that position.”

“So… that means there is still time, huh?*

“…what do you mean, still time?”

“Well, to make her your bride of course!”

Such… such impertinence! The Burmecian Dragon Knight finds himself at a loss for words at the so carelessly spoken insinuations of his trainee. How… how could she just say something like that?

“Mmh? What’s wrong FreTy? Oh, was this supposed to be a secret? But it’s so obvious seeing how you look at her, so I thought…”

“I.. I have no idea… what you mean Calisto…”

Bull’s Eye.

The younger female breathed a sigh at her mentor’s reaction. Seriously… he was so hopeless when it came to matters of the heart like this. Oblivious to the advances of the girls that had studied together with him, and at the same time oh so transparent himself. Well, seems like it was time for the student to teach the teacher a thing or two!

“Well, you see, us women have an eye for this kinda thing! I’m sure Miss Lancia has noticed too and – wait. FreTy, you don’t mean to tell me you didn’t even notice that she…? Ohohoho, this is too amusing!”

Something told the Burmecian that this particular trip back home would feel terribly, terribly long…

“Surely you speak in jest, mother. You cannot be serious about this.”

“Now now son, there is no need to become so aggravated about this matter. Let’s remain calm and talk about it, and I am certain you will see that this is the right choice for you.”

Skadi Skadrson was someone only few would dare oppose, for she often proved a relentless adversary – whether it was on the battlefield or in the council hall. Her opinion, her position on a matter, her conviction were all not easily overturned, and to convince her that another opinion was better was no small task to overcome. Those who despised that trait of her called her stubborn – she herself preferred the term “adamant”. Yes, standing against her was something not many dared – there was only one person who did so time and time again: Her son.

“No, mother, please… this is not a good idea, you know she is my student, this… this… How could you approve of a mentor and his student…? This goes against the principles you always stood for!”

“Does it? All I said was that it’d be wrong for a mentor to abuse their special knowledge and connection towards their pupils. That my fellow instructors ought not get involved with their students. The two of you however… that is a different matter.”

“Mother, she is five years younger than me! She is but a child still!”

“Didn’t you yourself tell me that rather than your student she was becoming your equal more and more every day? Besides, it is not like I am telling you to get married right away. There is ample time.”

“I can’t believe this… You are serious, are you not?”

“Have I ever not been?”

A deep sigh came over the young male’s lips. Usually, his mother was open to reason when it came to this particular topic, but today seemed different. So perhaps all he needed to do… was change his approach.

“Mother… you have presented me with more than just a few potential brides-to-be, but you have at the same time also always respect my decision. Why is it different this time? Why is this one so important to you?”

A moment of silence follows, with Skadi pondering just how she should answer her son’s fitting observation. Then, with a voice that seems much too calm compared to before, she finally reveals the truth:

“Because I am not the one putting this proposal forth. It comes from Ser Ganymede himself.”

“Calisto’s father desires this union? But… why? How did he come to consider this a good idea?”

“…he wishes for a strong male heir to his name. One, who is capable of making a name for themselves – and in turn uphold that of his family. And for one who will treat his dear daughter with respect… and as an equal.”

“… then he is asking the wrong youth. He should ask Binrril then, he is far better suited to uphold a grand name as Ganymede.”

“Son, you know that Binrril is twice as old as Calisto. If you claim the five years that keep you apart to be a problem, then you cannot in good conscience expect this to be okay.”

He knew she was right. Binrril, the one that had taken the path of a Paladin, was already 28 years old, and thus 9 years his own senior. That age gap was not something that could be overlooked easily in such a case – and much to his chagrin, he could not come up with another suitable candidate.

“…why can’t he just let Calisto chose herself? Or allow her to inherit his title and name? Given a few more years, she’d be more than capable of upholding the Ganymede’s honor.”

“And that she will, he holds no doubt regarding this. But… he does not wish her to be married to someone who would just use her for her status. He wishes for her to have an equal at her side.”

And short pause occurs, before the woman known as the Praying Mantis offers her son a smile.

“And besides… Ser Ganymede already considers you as if you were his own son, seeing how close Calisto has become to you.”

“…then all the more reason I shouldn’t be the one to marry her. If he thinks me a son, then that’d make me her brother and her my sister. And a brother and a sister, that…”

“Son.”

“I mean, that would just be wrong, you cannot deny that and…”

“Son.”

“What does Calisto even think of this all? I mean, I know she looks up to me, but…”

“Freyr Tyr Skadrson.”

Hearing his mother pronounce his name like this instantly stops the young Burmecian in his flow of words, causing him to look at her somewhat concerned – Hearing his name like that often was a bad sign, after all.

“Finally calmed down a bit? Good. Now listen son, and listen well for I shall not repeat myself: This proposal is not just the wish of Ser Ganymede and me, but also of his family. Whether this includes Calisto I do not know, but truthfully, I believe it does. After all, the way she looks at you…”

“…what is that supposed to mean now, mother?”

“Oh sweet child of mine, how innocent you can be… I wonder if you will ever learn to notice just what lies in a woman’s gaze…”

“What do you mean by that? Hey, mother, wait!”

And with that, the matter was closed.

Five months after that fateful conversation, Freyr Tyr Skadrson, sole heir to Lady Skadi Skadrson and rumored to be the future husband of the young Lady Calisto Ganymede, requested permission to leave on a journey. “To find myself and learn what I truly desire, like Sir Fratley once did.”. Despite opposition from both Lady Skadrson and Ser Ganymede, said permission was granted at the behest of the King.

He would be gone for 5 full years.

A few months later, Lady Lancia Almathia Coral, aspiring priestess of Cleyra, left her post during the festivities honoring the reconnection of Burmecia and Cleyra proper, leaving behind only a note with but five words: “I shall follow my heart.”. She never returned in person, but would continue sending letters every few months to her family and the Lady Priestess that had been training her. Rumor has it that she found a new home in the far off city of Daguerreo.

Fifteen years after he had set on his journey, Sir Freyr Tyr Ganymede, husband to the Lady Calisto Ganymede and father to two young daughters, Lancia and Leonora, would be awarded the rank and title of a Dragon Knight.

This would be the first and last occasion during which his mother, Lady Skadi Skadrson, would be seen shedding tears of joy.

…

Three years after that day, a young Burmecian boy named Sceada would come to stand before the kingdom’s gates, looking for a parent he never knew…

SHOUT OUT POST: @sacredscar for putting A certain thing on the spot light. I couldn't find your blog on my phone but thank you for saying something about the way you were treated and over looked. I'm sorry it happened to you from the bottom of my heart but I can safely say I know your frustration with what happened. <3. I hope you are starting to feel better about things and that you can finally let out that sigh of relief that it's in the past now.

[💗]      She gave a light sigh and shook her head. There he was overworking himself again. Just from the look on his face alone she could tell where his mind was off too. One of these days she was going to find him passed out right in front of the bar or sleeping while crouched over his bike.

     “Hey, why don’t you just take a break? Go upstairs and get some rest. I can send the kids out to play or down to Johnny’s place to keep the noise down.”

     Knowing he’d at get at least a little sleep before going crazy with his schedule again would be some relief to her. Not a large relief, but relief nonetheless.

Rekindled Friendship - Sacredscar

Roaming the streets of the slums that were filled with people in far worse conditions. Her skirt swayed against her legs softly, a slight breeze passing her slender body. As she continued to walk, her eyes caught onto a familiar figure, blond hair, SOLDIER uniform, large sword... Cloud Strife.

Her eyes widened, waiting to yell out to him but fought against it, not wanting to cause a scene. Instead, the Flower Girl decided to just slowly approach him from behind, a hand placing upon his shoulder, a gentle squeeze upon his upper arm. “Hey, friend...” She whispered to the blond SOLDIER, a gentle smile upon her face. 

“Welcome home..”

[fleurdesaison]

Cloud starts to lean in closer. When he looks like he's about to kiss Aerith he lifts both hands and squishes her cheeks.

}{ This isn’t how I thought a pillow fight would look like @grieverspride

      He might have been hit by the pillow, but it just made Cloud smirk.“Complain all you want. But it’s my bed you’re in.” Taking the blanket that he had been tugging away he would then share it with Leon. “I’m sure you noticed I tend to roll in my sleep...taking the blanket with me.” Getting up from the bed Cloud would stretch. “Coffee?”

5 Year Anniversary - Thank You!

Today, February 4, 2019, marks not only Sceada’s 25th birthday, it is also the 5th anniversary of me creating this blog here, and beginning to roleplay as my little Burmecian.

5 years... that’s a long time. Time, during which much has happened. There have been so many adventures and meetings, have been so many encounters and situations I was allowed to write with you lovely people. There has been so much room for my character to grow, to learn, to form friendships and bonds, becoming a better man in the process. There has been so much development, so many ways in which he’s changed, so many people he connected to...

And I wouldn’t want to miss a single one of them.

Sure, there have been bad times too. Times where there wasn’t much happening, or where that which was happening ended up leaving a heavy burden upon us, where it affected us in more ways than we imagined, both positively and negatively, and there have even been tears we cried over it all. Be it because things did not work out as we hoped, be it because we felt the pain of our characters, or be it even because we lost friends. For after all, paths not only cross and align at times, they also separate again, with some never to meet ours again, no matter how sad a thought this may be.

But such is life, and rather than list off all the things that happened, all the stories and ideas that developed and bloomed in those five years, I’d like to do something else:

I want to thank everyone who walked this path together with me, no matter how briefly.

And so I have spent the last week going through my blog and a total of 4682 posts with the goal of listing up everyone that has ever interacted with Sceada and this blog here. Whether that be by simple starters or lengthy plays, by sending in asks or perhaps by drawing a lovely picture of him unprompted, everyone who ever interacted with me and Sceada here on this blog, I wish to thank you.

And so, even though many of you are no longer here, have moved on or perhaps even forgotten about this here all together, I would like to list you all up here, under the cut. All 217 of you that I managed to count.

Consider this a huge thank you for everything, my friends! I do sincerely hope we’ll get to share more stories in the future, and that we’ll get to connect with each other, be it again after a long time, some more, or even entirely new. Thank you for making my time here what it has been, and for turning this hobby into one so very dear to me. I love you all.

GHOST!

Shin-Ra Manor.

Of course Spike’s is gonna ask her to deliver a package here, in October. She hated the place before she even knew about all of Nibelheim supposedly burning down– figured the place was probably too evil to jump off the face of Gaia like that. Hadn’t been back here since Vincent decided he was hiding from the planet– again– and she had to scramble him up for Reeve. And both times she’d been here to drag his ass out, she’d regretted it. A lot.

But it’s just a building, Cloud said. Uh huh. Just a building, her butt. If it was really that simple, then why didn’t he wanna deliver the package? Besides, it was too large for her to carry it alone, anyway. She’d need a companion. She picked him. Tough luck.

「 So if it’s not so bad, Cloud, why didn’t you wanna go alone? I’ll wait. 」

[ That’s what I thought. ]
