Dawntrail hints in the Great Gubal Library

[paintedscales]

Prompt: Covering someone's mouth to muffle any cries/screams they make because they're trying to hide from something/someone.

For the FFXIV Swap Discord. I wasn't initially going to do this prompt, but this scenario wouldn't leave my head.

"Fascinating... Fascinating!" Alphinaud muttered to himself, reading the print of the books that had long since been abandoned and left to their fate in the Great Gubal Library. Though they had their mission before them, what other opportunity would have the young prodigy had after this to find some of these tomes in the future?

"We haven't all day..." Nomin sighed, a frown upon her lips.

"Indeed," Y'shtola chimed in. Her ears were pert as she forced herself not to show her own disappointment. Her thirst for knowledge was just as unable to have been slaked, if not more so, than Alphinaud's.

Alphinaud, however, was lost in his own world for the time being. There was a particular tome that caught his interest, The Bitter Movement of Garlemald. Nomin was not quite interested herself. Being surrounded by so many books was fascinating, but not enough to stop herself from thinking of why they were even allowed within in the first place.

Danger.

The feeling of being alert flit through Nomin, making the scales and hairs at the back of her neck flare slightly before settling back. She pulled out her bow, her other hand bringing an arrow so that it was nocked. She maneuvered so that her back was against the pillar nearby.

This was not missed by Y'shtola, whose clouded eyes flicked in Nomin's direction. Her brow furrowed, and her lips were set into a hardened purse. Like Nomin, Y'shtola armed herself with her staff, staying close should they be ambushed or be the ones who did the ambushing.

Pero Roggo hopped up, his feet finding purchase upon the muttering Alphinaud's shoulders. The sudden shift in weight and arrival of the poroggo nearly made Alphinaud yelp with surprise, though Pero Roggo had been quick about touching his staff to the young elezen's lips. Where a yelp would have sounded, nothing came about.

Thankfully Pero Roggo acted when he did. As silence settled around the party, they heard it.

Shhclack. Shhclack. Shhclack.

Talons scraped across the floors in a rhythm. Something was on its way. Judging by all that they had encountered thus far, it was not like to be anything friendly.

"Gubal is every scholar's greatest treasure. The history in its' depths nearly rivals that of Sharlayan. Its' contents should not be kept from the people of the world."

Ye lads, we're off to find El Dorado.

Hellie and Mellie seem to have taken a wrong turn in the Great Gubal Library...

Great Gubal library

The great gubal library was under new management. A single mage was appointed with keeping the knowledge within looked after, in order and well protected. Once a mage of the Studium, become adventurer. Such a reclusive position seemed to suit them.

They meticulously went over every book, reading every word and obviously making sure it was in good condition and in the correct section.

Traversing the long winding halls was aided with the acquiring of a splendid new chair. Makes for reading on the go much easier.

When taking a break from reading, the new keeper practised high level magicks and learnt new ones buried deep within forbidden tomes.

Choosing such a solitude life can be hard but easy for those wishing to be forgotten or perhaps they simply wish a break from the shackles of fate.

Easier to forget overwhelming unnecessary feelings.

guess who got the robes?! Still don't glow. BUT I GOT THEM.

Who knows where I was going for with this?

Aymeric married someone else? Mizuki just like: well I'm going to read books for an eternity now. Bye (๑◕︵◕๑)

Poroggo, toads made sentient by magic, serve as familiars whose cognitive level depends on the mage's spell-crafting abilities. Master Matoya's powerful magic grants her familiar Pero Roggo enough cognitive capabilities to fight alongside you in the Great Gubal Library.

[candycryptids]

Searching through old tomes, the smell of dust and lingering magic heavy in the air. The book it's seeking must be deeper in the library, past more abandoned guardians. Nothing its Carbuncle, Louis, can't handle though.

Junelezen Day 9: Deviation

You’ll never know what you may find when you deviate from the well-worn path!

Alinea was going to have to bring Master Matoya back to the Great Gubal Library and get more information on all the tomes and vials stored here. It wasn't unusual for her, or any of the girls, to come and pick up a tome once in a while, but Alinea wanted to make a proper girls' night of it sometime. They'd have to bring Y'shtola and Nidhana, as well as Master Matoya, but oh what fun they'd have.

One of my favourite places is The Great Gubal Library. Abandoned and is the grandest repository of knowledge.

I may have only half an idea as to what I'm doing on summoner OR scholar, but that's 100% more of an idea than I have on any other casting or healing job.
