Event || In Your Worst Memory

[0301120113092025]

Characters: All Heroes of Light. Only those who signed-up can start a memory.
Where: Interdimensional Rift
When: May 27th - May 30th
Summary: The Heroes of Light relive some of their worst memories, with a twist. All characters participating in this will be physically missing from Crystallis for the duration of the event.
Warning: It depends on the memory.

Where you were or what you were doing— It does not really matter. Not any more. Everything around you freezes, nearly as if time itself stopped, as if the world was frozen in time. And before you have a chance to understand what is happening, you can hear a voice right behind you.

"Kali Shashidhwaja."

Should you turn around, you may see a child who seems to be the only one aside from you unaffected by what is happening. And as she stares right at you, it makes no doubt these strange words are aimed at you. But before you can reply to her, the world around you collapses. Reality twists and shatters... Or maybe you are the one who is collapsing and shattering away from reality as you know it. No matter what the answer is, it will only take a few seconds for you to find yourself sinking into a void, Crystallis vanishing into the distance. There is nothing but darkness as far as the eye can see.

And once again you feel different: all the powers from your Jobs are fading. Not only that, but you might find that your Crystal is gone and your clothes back to what they were before you woke up in Crystallis. It is silent, cold and before long it feels as though life itself is slipping out of you... And yet, slowly the world reforms around you. The darkness fades away and a new world appears, yet at the same time this is not a world.

This is a memory. The question is, is it yours or that of someone else?

Saving people with all you've got was one of the few things that Selen held onto. She could understand the need for redemption in that aspect of the conversation. Luke had done something terribly awful and traumatizing to many people. He was traumatized himself, being so young, yet handling so much sorrow all at once. Selen didn't need to treat him as anyone bad, seeing he was already fully aware and capable of understanding his own past mistakes. There was no need to further pick at his wound.

"Yes, I'm glad you were able to see the path that was right for you and pursuing it.

Selen's serious face changed her usual smile. It was gentle and accepting all the same. She made no effort to judge him.

"I think it's quite special, seeing a young man as yourself learn of your mistakes and wrong doings at a raw age. It's not everyday a boy your age understands these kinds of situations.

"I will support whatever decision you choose to make Luke. That is what anyone would do for the those they care strongly about."

That had him awkwardly scratching at the back of his head. When he saw that smile, he couldn't help but to return it. It was...a little difficult not to, honestly. Something about her personality was contagious. It demanded that he stop dwelling on the little things or the things that he couldn't do anything to change. Everything in the past was gone, so he should focus on the future. Wasn't that what he'd decided to do, back during a certain conversation on Auldrant?

He'd focus on what he could do...

O-oh...care strongly about? His face reddened all over again. After awkwardly glancing down for a moment, shifting in his stance all the while, he spoke in a determined tone, "I want... to do everything I can to save this world. Not just the world, though... but everyone I can. And no matter which world I wind up on after this, I will fight to protect it and the people on it as well. That's what... my decision is."

Selen had that trait about herself that brought people together. It's not that she went around and said that, but it was something she was gifted with. She was always one to be surrounded by lots of people because she had merits to prove her worth. However, she didn't really play too much with what others thought of her. She was often very outspoken with her ideals and sometimes it could cause a lot of conflict. In a way, she only wanted to help appease his sorrow, even if it's just a little.

She was a warrior, a soldier and a killer. She could understand that someone like Luke would have a hard time forgiving himself for what he had done. However, if he did not behave the way he did now, Selen would have definitely given him a piece of her mind but Luke proved to her what kind of strong person he was. She was more than willing to help him if he ever needed it because of that.

Oh my, did she say too much? She saw the red on his face as he look down.

"Then you have nothing to be afraid of, and nothing to beat yourself over. You're recognizing your mistakes and you have made a decision to atone for them through your own decisions. I wouldn't mind giving you a hand in saving the world, and everyone in it, if you allow me to."
