@auradventurer.bsky.socialMisago knew that these were long and complicated conflicts, but that didn't take away the feeling that he didn't want to have to be put in this situation over and over. He wanted a better solution, but without a different path forward, he saw no other possibilities.
@auradventurer.bsky.socialAnother primal. Misago didn't skip a beat as he pulled out all his new Summoning abilities and it felt good to put an end to some of the problems that had plagued La Noscea for so long.
@auradventurer.bsky.socialEven after everything Misago did in Sastasha and La Noscea, things had continued to happen and people continued to get hurt. And just like last time, he still ended up wasting time with Trachtoum. Maybe one day he'd be able to laugh with Merlwyb over drinks about Leviabeetus.
@auradventurer.bsky.socialY'shtola: "...When last did we fight side by side, Misago? Too long ago, I warrant. But come, let us away!"
@auradventurer.bsky.social「How could Merlwyb keep someone like that in such a high position? At least Merlwyb told her we're not here for vengeance. I wonder…she didn't say how the trouble with the Sahagin started, now that I think about it. Gods I hope it isn't like the situation with the Kobolds…」
@auradventurer.bsky.social「Wow...has it really been this long since I've been here? Some of these shops are new? Or maybe I couldn't afford them when I was starting out. It...feels different. Or maybe I'm the one that changed.」
"I'll take it, along with the green jacket and those boots."
@auradventurer.bsky.socialYozan: “When I'm older, I want to be strong like you. What do I have to do?”
Misago:「Get lucky and have a weird crystal give you visions and then luck into finding the right people who know what is going on. That's not going to fly. Uh…」“Seek out new experiences and adventures.”
@auradventurer.bsky.social「She tries to hide it, but there's no mistaking it. I would recognize someone like her anywhere—she has the same horns as my mother, the same tail, the same stature…she is like me. I want to ask her so many things—where is she from? What is it like?」
@auradventurer.bsky.social「Doma…didn't my mother tell me stories when I was little? But she didn’t live there…somewhere in the middle of the Ruby Sea…more stories that were exciting as a child but nothing more than that as I grew up. Another thing I never found…where I was born doesn’t even matter now.」
@auradventurer.bsky.socialMisago was relieved upon arriving at the Rising Stones—it felt cozier to him than Thanalan ever did, but maybe it was due to the stonework being more familiar to him after living in Coerthas for so long. He couldn't help but dive into the new selections alongside Y'shtola.
@auradventurer.bsky.socialMisago felt right back in his element taking on a primal again. He still wondered about the underlying causes of this happening and how this primal didn't seem like the others. At the end of the day, he was happy to be finished with the Moogles and their silly pranks.
@auradventurer.bsky.socialMisago was surprised to hear that Moogles were stirring trouble, but was happy to be back in the swing of things in terms of adventuring jobs. He rarely got to visit the Lotus Stand, let alone at night, and took some time to enjoy the forest surroundings and the evening stars.
@auradventurer.bsky.socialMisago remembered how he used to sit in the corner of the Waking Sands by himself while he read, and noted how far he had come. Now that the Scions were going to be moving, he wondered where his new reading nook would be and who might join him there.
@auradventurer.bsky.socialWelcome to Misago's NG+ Project for ARR Patches!!!!! If you'd like to follow along, you can find the posts using #MisagoARRX or my feed for the patches (it will take a little bit to update). Alternatively, the full text version will be posted in tandem on AO3 (archiveofourown.org/works/925315...)
@auradventurer.bsky.socialNow that Misago had a chance to catch his breath and rest, he was eager to get back into adventuring jobs for the Scions. He didn't particularly care for chaperoning Alphinaud, but he trailed along anyway and tried to at least keep him out of the rain.
