Event || Revelations

Characters: All the Heroes of Light and their Moogles.
Where: Order's Sanctuary, The Interdimensional Rift and their Homeworlds.
When: August 03rd - August 30th

Summary: Following the battle against Palitutu, all the Heroes of Light were transported into the Interdimensional Rift. They were told by Palitutu they would have to find her to prove they can break the cycle-- But before they could reach their destination, a malevolent entity from the Rift stripped them from their immortality...

And now, they woke up in a decaying and dying world, most specifically in a place called Order's Sanctuary. From there they are ready to jump... Into their homeworlds! Feel free to use this post for the Mingle at Order's Sanctuary and should your homeworld be the stage for the Heroes of Lights' next adventures, feel free to make a thread for it and as many sub-thread as necessary! Please refer to the OOC Post for questions and plotting.

Warning: Whatever you come up with.

MOUNT GAGAZET: SEYMOUR FLUX. ( one thread )

[personal profile] grandsummon 2016-08-17 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
There's singing behind them. A proud chorus of voices, Ronso sending them off and up the mountain. An awe-inspiring send off indeed... with grand horn on head! as Yuna shielded herself against the harsh cold of the oncoming winds. "Mount Gagazet..." she explained to those that had come with her this far. Before them stood an impossibly tall mountain, and from the looks of it, they were going to be scaling it by foot. Just as all the high summoners before her had.

Just like her father had...

"It's the last height to scale... before we reach Zanarkand," which, from the way she spoke, was of grave importance somehow.

As proud as the singing behind them was, something about it seemed to make the freezing surroundings all that colder. Even with Sephiroth's Job-set, frigid temperatures such as this mountain couldn't well be ignored even if technically it wouldn't slow him down much. He even wore his hair -now clean at least- down so as to better capture the air and encourage body warmth. Those winds were piercing. Spencer clenched to his Hero's shoulder, curling up as tightly as possible so as not to freeze.

"Hm-" Sephiroth made an acknowledgment of a noise at Yuna as he stepped up to start taking on the mountain with the rest of the group. He didn't know Spira, at all really, but he at least was sharp enough still to recognize that Zanarkand had to be the end of this pilgrimage? It certainly was starting to feel more like one, in recent days.

Yuna's tone though; he hadn't often heard her speak with such gravity.

So this was Spira... Jade had learned about this world from the other Yuna, and even played the part of a Guardian when he had been brought to the younger version's memories. That had been a brief experience with an unpleasant end, so perhaps it was appropriate that he came along to aid her once again -- this time with more success, he hoped.

Besides, what little he'd learned of Spira had piqued his interest... though it seemed they were about to leave society behind, not study it up close. That was too bad.

"So, we're going hiking?" Jade's smile was bright as usual. The freezing wind didn't seem to bother him at all. Having grown up in a cold region had its advantages. "I almost feel at home already."

Was it the sound of the hymn again, or returning to Spira, that caused the lump her throat?

Or the fact that, Zanarkand was just around the corner. Was she just going to end up failing to stop Yuna? How could they just stumble to the end like this? The Pilgrimage was supposed to, give her more time!

Stubbornly blinking spiral eyes clear, she scans the proud Ronsos below hopefully. Shoulders falling, Rikku turns back. When she thinks Yuna won't notice, she tries shooting Sephiroth and Jade a strangely pleading look. Breath fogging, she remains silent.

Yuna takes point, heading up the path first. "I'm sorry," she apologized into the wind. "The path... maybe be gruelling," at lest with her guardians, they had signed up for this. There was a sense of responsibility she felt for the other worlds, roped into this perilous peak somehow.

As she dredged on, thousands of thoughts in her head and refusing to give any of them a voice. While they continued, several grave markers began to litter the path, some swords still in good shape, others rusted by time gone by.

And Yuna... stopped to offer a prayer to them all.
unyieldingspirit: (how do I put this)

[personal profile] unyieldingspirit 2016-08-22 10:36 am (UTC)(link)
K'pandolu has been casting a few looks back, intrigued by the Ronso, so she misses any looks exchanged between the others. She focused her attention forwards at Yuna's words, squaring her shoulders. "We'll manage," she said. "We're not the first to have walked this path, are we?"

Though- the grave markers were not exactly the encouraging sign she would have hoped for. She stood back, uncertain, glancing at the others to see why they thought.
shinrasfinest: (Pout)

[personal profile] shinrasfinest 2016-08-23 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
If Sephiroth hadn't paused just then, to take a stock on how the rest of their group were holding up he'd have never spotting that strange, yet at the same time noticeably direct look Rikku shot him.

He wasn't sure if Jade caught it too, but as Yuna and K'pandolu turned their attention towards the veritable hike they had ahead of them, Sephiroth slowed his pace some so that if Rikku needed to say something quietly, there could be the opportunity. She's clearly got more of an idea what might wait for them up the mountain than he did.

Swords as grave markers, there was an uncomfortable thought. Unsettling how many warriors might have gotten this far, only to fail.
jadethenecromancer: (when did I turn into a therapist)

[personal profile] jadethenecromancer 2016-08-24 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Jade did catch Rikku's beseeching look and followed Sephiroth's example, slowing down a touch so that the three of them had a brief moment to themselves. Depressing though the grave markers were, at least they had Yuna occupied for a minute.

"What's wrong?" he asked in a low voice.

DJOSE.

grandsummon: (u_u)

yuna | open

[personal profile] grandsummon 2016-08-17 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
Years had passed since she had been here last, gazing upon the temple that sizzled with electric energy, the stones collapsed tightly against the building... it meant that no one currently addressed the fayth. Djose was one of the first temples summoners usually visited during their pilgrimage, for her, this aeon had been the third. Would he remember her? she wondered, stepping into the building, closer to where the hymn sounded from.

CAVERN OF THE STOLEN FAYTH.

yuna | open

[personal profile] grandsummon 2016-08-17 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
There was a heavy feeling in the air, which was thick with pyreflies as it was. Something crackled in the emptiness of the cavern, someone at unrest... Yuna knew about the story of Lady Ginnem's fate, but had never pushed her guardian for details. A fallen summoner wasn't something people usually talked about, perhaps out of both respect and fear. But as they reached the depths of the cave, Yuna gasped, taking a step back from the pit in front of them, which housed the statue containing the stolen fayth.

"T-the rumours were true!"
confidentia: (♤ (wandering souls))

[personal profile] confidentia 2016-08-30 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Hearing the gasp, Ace instinctively reached out his hand to prevent the summoner from falling down, but withdrew it as soon as the danger had passed. Up until now, questions had felt largely unnecessary. The presence of the pyreflies floating above their heads explained the place's history more than words ever could; it seemed almost disrespectful to fill the silence with idle talk.

However, they'd come here for a reason, and it sounded like Yuna was ready to reveal it. The cadet spoke out quietly.

"What rumours...?"
grandsummon: (...!)

[personal profile] grandsummon 2016-09-01 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Yuna eased herself to her knees, fixated on the statue in front of them that now began to softly sing. "There were stories, when I was growing up. About bands of the excommunicated," all signs pointed to the Al Bhed, but that wasn't important here anyway, was it? "They grouped together, raided the temples... and stole the statues that housed the fayth."

And with the last bit, her voice dwindled down to a whisper. "Hiding them away..."
confidentia: (♧ (thinking))

[personal profile] confidentia 2016-09-01 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Ace followed suit, listening to what his own instinct advised. He had been informed of the significance of the song before, by the girl who bore the same name as the summoner by his side... and it had etched into his memory quite deeply, for he was able to recognise the melody immediately. So hauntingly beautiful.

For that reason, he found himself hesitant to raise his voice, as it meant interrupting the melody of the prayer. A thoughtful pause followed Yuna's explanation, the cadet's eyes wandering between the statue and the pyreflies above, which presence was even stronger in this part of the cave.

"In fear of their power?" He eventually asked, matching the volume of his voice to hers. The Empire had always sought to fracture Rubrum's link with the Eidolons, and all magic, for that matter - for no other reason.

"After all these years... do you believe your call can still be answered?"
grandsummon: (:()

[personal profile] grandsummon 2016-09-10 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
"Not exactly, they... wanted change, I suppose. With no fayth to pray to, the summoners— wouldn't be able to complete their pilgrimages... And without a pilgrimage a summoner could never complete their training. They would never be able to call the Final Aeon..."

They'd be saved.

But to Ace's second question, Yuna could only answer honestly, with a hoarse, whispered "I don't know..." Would the fayth still trust her? Recognize that she was a summoner of Spira, even though she'd been gone for years now? "But. I need to try."
confidentia: (♧ (hm))

[personal profile] confidentia 2016-09-12 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"It sounds disrespectful, to those who have willingly chosen to walk that path. We all make our sacrifices." Maybe he was being too harsh of a judge in a situation he didn't wholly understand, but years of rigorous training had left Ace with a rather pragmatic approach. "Putting our lives on the line, so that others do not have to... it's a conscious choice."

A choice that nobody had the right to deprive you of making. He breathed a soft sigh, noting the doubt pouring from the summoner's words.

"... Would you rather be left alone, Yuna?"

The tale sparked his curiosity and made him wish to see it with his own eyes, but he wasn't going to intrude on her privacy, especially when the task was something of such importance.

It was just a reading on the sphere-oscillo-finder until now. Yuna had never heard tell of any temple, sunken or otherwise, off the coast this far. But after a brief run-in with the fiend that guarded the entrance, she was breaking the surface of the water, inside the stone building that looked as though it had been untouched for years. Ten at least, maybe fifteen...

As she wrung out the hem of her dress and sleeves, she looked around, making sure those that had accompanied her were well and safe inside the murky cove. "I had never... heard of this temple before," Yuna confessed, moving forward to gently place a hand on the wall.
unyieldingspirit: (hee-!)

[personal profile] unyieldingspirit 2016-08-19 01:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"So we're the first to explore in in a while?" K'pandolu shook off the last of the water on her and peered around, curious. "Perhaps we should take notes for anyone else who might be interested."
grandsummon: (...??)

[personal profile] grandsummon 2016-08-22 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
"That's what it looks like but these..." she's studying the glyph closer, quiet for a moment, then an idea hitting her. "Wait! These represent all the temples up until now!" Yuna's hurrying between pillars, confirming it and double-checking.

"Yes, this one is Djose, and here's Besaid..." she turned towards K'pandolu. "I wonder if it means an aeon somehow sleeps here?"
unyieldingspirit: (how do I put this)

[personal profile] unyieldingspirit 2016-08-22 09:49 am (UTC)(link)
"The temples refer to each other, right?" K'pandolu hummed, rubbing her chin. "It could be. But we won't know until we look. So- shall we do so?"
grandsummon: (...)

[personal profile] grandsummon 2016-08-29 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Yuna nodded, eager to study the other pillars and what they might mean, proceeding further into the cavern. "K'pandolu... I remember what you told me about the aeons from your world, about the primals..."
unyieldingspirit: (how do I put this)

[personal profile] unyieldingspirit 2016-08-30 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
She moved to keep in step with Yuna, casting the other woman a look. It had been some time since that conversation, but- it made sense that coming here and revisiting the summons of this world would bring it up again. "Mm. Was there something on your mind about them?"
