14. Against the Grain

Short story of pre-MSQ WoL. Surviving on her own after leaving her tribe, and memories of her father-figure.

ellipsus.com/read/3xZyI92...

#FFxivWrite2026 #FFxivWrite

Story Snippet:

It is yet another night in the wilderness, doing her best to survive on her own.

She takes the cut of meat from the fire and sets it on the plate. Meat from today's hunt, and not particularly desirable game at that. But when one needs to eat…

She picks up the knife she'd previously cleaned to cut it with. Double checking the grain of it before doing so. Always cut against the grain, a good cut can do wonders to enhance nature's gifts. A lesson from her dad. Not her birth father, of course. But in her eyes, that only made the man all the better for that role.

day 14 - against the grain

amaris dislikes moenbryda’s plan to face iceheart in her home. amaris *hates* that minfilia, and the rest of the scions, come to agree with it

[ #📝 | #ffxivwrite2026 | #ffxivwrite ]

"And if the worst comes to worse, your people won't suffer." Moenbryda, the Rising Stones most recent visitor, adds after her brief and very concerning explanation of how to use white auracite as a means of teleporting without a source aetheryte.

Amaris would not begin to say she understands half of what her archon peers do. All she knows is that Y'shtola and Papalymo have expressed their concerns and that is enough to make her question it. Through that questioning comes doubt. Why would they choose something potentially dangerous versus letting her do what she does best and what is expected of her - putting a quick end to any and all primal threats.

"But it's dangerous?" Amaris questions the room, and every head turns to her. It isn't like her to question the plans of the order. She is always on the same page as them. She always understands. "We don't even know for sure if a primal will be summoned and if it does, I can defeat it. We don't have to risk anyone's life."

The entirety of the Solar looks at her, and as the half-a-seconds go by, she feels the slow creep of embarrassment crawl up her neck only to find purchase on her cheeks.

Minfilia sighs something soft. Tired but not frustrated or cruel. "Amaris, you and everyone else must understand that there is much and more than just defeating a potential primal. What of the people who would be tempered in the process? Heretic or otherwise, we cannot let the possibility come to fruition."

Deep down, Amaris knows Minfilia means no ill will. She wants to protect people. To do the right thing. The Scions signed up for risk, innocent people did not. It should be simple for her to understand yet part of her heart heats up -defensive by every definition of the word.

So what if she didn't consider every single avenue of risk. She was thinking of her friends. Other people matter, she knows they do, but so do the Scions. Amaris does not want to suffer throwing their lives into danger on an educated guess of what or who could be summoned next.

Amaris' jaw clenches and her eyes connect with Moenbryda's in an attempt to avoid Minfilia's gaze. The animated look on her face easily betrays her feelings on the matter. Simply that she thinks this is awkward.

At least they can agree on one thing.

The clock ticks softly in the background. If anyone is on Amaris' side, they do not verbalize it and Minfilia does not hesitate to take her window of opportunity.

"Though it risk the lives of our best and brightest, we have not the time to seek other options. If the atherial current still flows, we shall carry out Moenbryda's plan." She says and everyone listens.

Moenbryda cuts through the proceeding silence with a bold clap. "Don't you all be so serious when we've plenty to feel confident on.
Let's roll the dice, eh?"

Her words are met with slow rolling fanfare. Amaris is, unfortunately, not in the majority as the other Scions' voices rise to a dull roar. They
discuss their next steps with growing interest and Amaris finds herself close to cracking a tooth - the feeling of teeth against teeth grounding in a way.

She excuses herself, then. Faster than she normally would and without so much as a word. She doesn't have to like this plan. She is allowed to not agree even when every fiber of her being near retches at the thought of friction.

Her head turns back slightly towards the Solar doors in hopes someone has noticed her absence and is coming after her. There is no one, and suddenly, she feels a tinge of regret at her disagreement.

It doesn't feel good to be the outlier.

B'alith felt something tear as he tried to reach back and unhook the tail flap himself, followed shortly by his trousers being dragged down his hips. He hissed as the closures caught some of the long, silky fur on his tail—he was certainly no stranger to a little pain, but there was rough and there was careless.

"Good thing you're not a chirurgeon, with such a lack of manual dexterity," he muttered, trying not to wriggle impatiently and give the conjurer the satisfaction of knowing how badly he wanted what he knew—hoped—was coming.

"Good thing you like that I'm not."
