What a Strange Dream to Have on Your 50th…

(N’ami gets a visitor/vision on the eve of her nameday…)

From the Eyes of N’aaja ☀️🌙

#HidakaLore | #SagelyRebornXIV
The image above is a snippet of N’ami’s vision. On the eve of her 50th birthday she has what feels like a dream, but in all reality, it is the beginning of her true calling. The writing is listed below:

-My Darling, can you hear me? Can you see me? Tsch. This blasted crystal. Good for one thing and one thing only…-

Never a more gentler soul than that of N'aaja, poised in grace and doned in robes and cloths of white and silver. Onyx tendrils cascaded down the winding road of scars along her back. The sight was all too familiar, reminiscent of her moon. Careful fingers began to glide along the mirror's gilded edges, whispering a spell onto its reflection.

Sun amongst the sky, donning this brilliant connection…

Bring forth my kin, may they arriveth in mine reflection…

How about…now?

GASP

Revealed to the sun witch, a brilliant visage of her once little moon. Tears form, flowing ever freely along her cheeks. Eyes of glowing gold rest upon her kin revealed, hesitant to speak. Her opposite, the moon in twine, speaks forth…

"M-mother?"

"It doesn't matter what you've done."

"It's still you."

"It's always been *you*."
A photo of Tacitus rem Cyprianus looking into the camera. The backdrop is Gyr Abania. His helmet is broken and beneath we see his face, his left eye glowing in the dim light of the flames that flank him.

the echo is a historian's wet dream
#tarokiht | @tarozine.bsky.social
Kiht and Taro exploring some ruins. In the foreground, Kiht is looking out off screen, peering at something in the distance. Taro writes some notes in the background. Kiht's echo is triggered, and she clutches at her forehead as the vision takes her. Taro straightens up in the background, recognizing the sound she makes when she gets an echo. because she is his wife and he loves her. When Kiht comes to from the echo, Taro is at her side, excitedly clutching his fists and tail and ears pricked up. He says "You're back! What did you see? Tell me everything!" Kiht is taken aback, furrowing her brow and flopping an ear to the side. She mutters, "Darling... so quick.." Kiht sighs and shrugs, taking the opportunity to scratch Taro's chin and bread. He melts into her touch, eyes closed and smiling in relaxation. He purrs too. Kiht closes her eyes and looks down. "Mmm, well it can't be helped... Go finish your notes and I'll tell you."

“N’aaja… It’s time…” 💔☀️☁️

LORE in ALT TEXT

#HidakaLore | #N’aajaHidaka
Pictured above is N’aaja, Warrior of Light, the birth mother of N’ami Hidaka. N’aaja has been summoned by The Crystal Exarch to assist the scions in what would be the halt of the calamity alongside restoring balance of light and dark in the first. 

To due so, she must leave something behind. She must sacrifice, which she’s unwilling to do at first. But if it means safety for Eorzea, for the world… for her little one, she must.

“The Sun of The Steppe” was her moniker. And to follow her, her very own moon incarnate, N’ami Hidaka.

52 year old obo can and will still hurt you
#obobos
a middle aged obo looks at the camera with a small hook of a smile.  their face is more narrowed and wrinkled, and a framed brow.  they have prominent scars over their right eye, lip, and a crooked nose.  they have 3 new piercings, two on the nose and one coiling chain on their left horn.  their hair is long and covers their shoulders, with streaks of gray, and silver loops braided into it

No More (2/2)
Tacitus has shed his armor and he sits, looking solemn and defeated. Just then, he notices his katana sticking out from the ground. He looks resolved now and states "No more." As he approaches the Katana he repeats those words four times- "No more." TW: Self-harm - Taro pics up his Katana and after a moment of hesitation he says "no more" one final time. Then, he cuts.

No More (1/2)
Tacitus angrily hits a tree. He's dirty and his armour is damaged. He growls out "What the fuck have I been doing with my life?!" Out of anger, Tacitus throws his Katana. Tactius looks at his hands, haunted at what he's done. On one side is the massacre at Goldmill in Gyr Abania. On the other side is the calamity. He looks at his hands, saying he just wanted to save the world. Not realizing he helped end it.
