✨ Day One: First Meeting ✨

Decided to draw a little sketch (in advance) for 'both' meetings, since well - disembodied voice shenanigans, and then the actual meeting.

#wolgraha #wolgrahaweek #wolgrahaweek2025

Faye, the Warrior of Light, wearing a hooded white mage outfit, thinking she spies something. G'raha Tia watches from above, a bit poorly concealed, taunting her along the way to the aethersand and driving her a just a little batty (affectionate).

"A compelling viewpoint. It is unyielding wills such as yours that have defined the course of history."

Thunk.

A shadow detaches itself from the scaffolding above, and a blur of red hits the ground before her with the smug finality of a curtain call. A drop, a flourish, a choice.

Faye leaps back. Not dramatically, but just enough that the heel of her boot bumps her staff, and just enough for her hood to slip, just enough to reveal the flick of mauve hair and telltale twitch of ears that scream what fresh hell is this.

“…Twelve above,” she mutters barely above a whisper, just loud enough for the Twelve, Cid and Rammbroes to hear.

The voice is familiar.

The voice is exactly who she thinks it is.

Garnet-silk hair. Smugness turned incarnate. A grin that could qualify as a war crime in certain regions. He lands like he practiced the motion in front of a mirror. Probably several mirrors.

G’raha Tia. The woodland whisperer. The self-appointed bard of her rage.

And he’s smiling. At her.

Faye's heart skips - not out of fluster, yet, but out of a bone-deep operatic type of indignation.

“So, you return at last,” Rammbroes says with arms crossed and tone dry as the Sagolii. “What, pray tell, has kept you so wholly preoccupied that you could not spare a moment to inform me of your progress or preservation?”

G’raha doesn’t miss a beat. “Why, the task you assigned to me, of course. Surely you’ve not forgotten about the aethersand? I passed it along to a most capable courier.”

His eyes flick to her again. Bright. Sparkly.

Faye huffs slightly.

“Greetings, adventurer!” he says as if he is not the reason she trudged through swamps. “Did I not say we would meet again?”

“You did,” Faye says with voice flat and a halfhearted withering gaze. “And somehow, you made good on the threat.”

He bows and she barely resists the urge to trip him mid-motion.

“I believe an introduction is in order. I am G’raha Tia, one of the Students of Baldesion." The flourish is unnecessary. The grin is criminal. The wink - because of course there’s a wink - is unforgivable. “I look forward to joining you on your groundbreaking expedition.”

Faye smiles, and it is the kind of smile that precedes a divine judgment.

“And I look forward to breaking ground. Specifically, the ground beneath your feet.”

"If they are of no value to you, give them to me. These shards of your will-of mankind's determination. They are beautiful beyond compare."

Exarch sitting bent over as his arm crumbles. Feo Ul has a shard of his arm in their hands as they hover over him.

a snippet written in reaction to the new exarch story. 💎🔨 #crystalexarch
#nautwrites

He could not bring himself to drive the hammer down.

His breath rattled in his ears, hissing wetly on the exhale. He tightened his grip on the hammer; it was his off-hand, but it would have to do.

He could not feel the stone floor beneath his palm, only the intolerable seam between crystal and flesh, jagged crystal rending through muscle and fascia with every wrong move. Raha chokes on a sob, sweaty red strands falling into his eyes; he shoves them out of the way irritably with the back of his hand.

He hefts the hammer, aiming above his target. Bends his elbow back as he tests the weight. Swinging once. Twice. Always coming just shy of the crystal, glimmering faintly in the hearthlight.

It's a sculpture. It's not you. You cannot even feel it. He tries again to bend his fingers, to crook his thumb. There are no tendons nor nerves to convey the action. It isn't his arm anymore, he knows that. It's the Tower's cost.

Raha shoves the belt between his teeth, incisors biting into the leather as he swings the hammer down.

It clinks harmlessly against the sapphire. False start. That's alright. He has nothing but time to get this right.

$Three bedridden weeks wasted. Four sin eaters attacks he could not save them from. Twenty or more deaths. They were still digging the graves in the lilac hills. Saliva pools down his chin. He takes a long, shuddering breath, and drives the hammer once more. The hammer glances off one fractaled edge before spinning out of his hand, knocking over a stool as it spirals beneath the bed. Raha swears inarticulately through the belt. "Come on," he grunts, dragging the dumb, useless weight of his arm as he struggles to wedge himself beneath the bed. Staring at the cobwebs and moldering dust, Raha reconsiders his course. There were doubtless volumes in the Crystal Tower's libraries he hadn't accessed. There was no logic behind this choice. There was always another way. Crystal shreds through his flesh as he reaches for the hammer. He scrabbles out of the bed, staggering for a moment before collapsing against the wall, clutching the hammer as if it were the only thing left to him. His back slides down the wall, and he grimly presses the crystal arm down onto the stone floors. He couldn't sleep another night with this weight attached to him. He shoves the belt between his teeth, grinding down on his molars as he readies his arm again. He doesn't look at the crystal when he swings— instead he casts his gaze a little further. Told himself he would only drive the hammer into the stone floor. Raha's arm shatters in a profusion of crystal shards and viscera.$

"I should beg your forgiveness," he said simply. She didn't look away from him, nor flinch at the cool touch of his hand. She only stared, something flickering in the depths of her gaze, gone too quickly to decipher. A crack in the blank mask.

Would that he were quick enough to seize upon it, to lever it open. But the Exarch was too keenly aware of the cracks in his own facade; he wanted to make his thumb move, to sweep across her cheek in tenderness. He wanted the door to swing open, the one she kept locked tight to shut out everything she didn't want to feel. He wanted to release the latch upon his own keeping everything sealed in. To let go, let it all spill across the floor like fragments of shattered crystal.

#solraha i'm back in the fucking building again

But it was the eye that had lit the first spark of something that danced far too close to the edge of panic in the Exarch's breast when he'd seen her. Not the right eye, which was still its familiar shade of verdant forest canopies that had haunted his every dream, back when he could dream at all. But the left: an unnatural, piercing white that glowed from the iris. More than the way a Mystel's eyes shone when glimpsed with a flash in the shadows of a newly returned night, or the limbal rings of a Drahn.

In Solene's eye, it was the Light that had welled up, bleeding straight through. He'd known it at once and almost wished he could cast the knowledge away. But it was impossible, settling with cold, crystalline certainty in the pit of his stomach, where it was sure to remain as he carried himself forward until the last. Another sin upon his back, a weight he would bear.
