digital comic panel 1/4 g'raha, sphene, krile, and y'shtola gather in solution 9, looking solem and determined. a caption reads, "waiting to begin 7.4 msq..." digital comic panel 2/4 sphene says, "...where is the warrior of light? shouldn't he be meeting us here?" digital comic panel 3/4 g'raha, looking worried, replies, "there must be a very urgent matter that requires his attention. the fate of the star may very well hang in the balance..." digital comic panel 4/4 caption: "elsewhere..." the scene changes to z'ahra in the gridania inn room, in his underwear, holding up the yuweyawata fending top as if trying it on. he's looking at his reflection, smiling. clothes lay scattered across the floor, implying he's been at this for a while...

digital comic panel 1/3 gerolt stands beside z'ahra with his hands on his hips and a solemn expression. "all right, kid. if ye want to augment yer weapon, we'll need aether. an' lots of it. i wager it'll take ye ages, and you'll need to hunt very dangerous foes. ye best be prepared with the *finest gear* gil can--" digital comic panel 2/3 gerolt is interrupted when z'ahra is suddenly only in his underwear. item level: 0! comic panel 3/3 z'ahra walks off, whistling a tune to himself. gerolt watches him leave, speechless and confused.

blast from the past... or the future you prevented #ffxiv #finalfantasyxiv
digital comic panel 1/7 z'ahra, a miqo'te warrior of light, takes a hard hit from the sword of the tyrant. metem exclaims from off-panel, "oh, my! that had to hurt!" digital comic panel 2/7 alisaie and g'raha watch the fight from the stands. alisaie is furious. "that bastard! let me in the ring! I'll finish him!" g'raha, on the other hand, is stricken by the sight. digital comic panel 3/7 the sight of z'ahra taking a severe blow seems to be having a toll on g'raha. alisaie's shouts of encouragement to z'ahra: "ahra, get up! z'ahra!" fade around him. digital comic panel 4/7 z'ahra is laid out on the ground, blood trickling from his mouth and nose. he's unconscious. metem, from off-panel, exclaims, "oh, dear. the challenger isn't getting up!" digital comic panel 5/7 metem's next speech bubble transitions from blue to black and red. z'ahra's unconscious pose is mirrored in this panel, though z'ahra's eyes are open and blank, and something is oozing from his mouth. he is dead-- this is a glimpse of g'raha's memory of finding z'ahra after he was killed by black rose. digital comic panel 6/7 alisaie has noticed g'raha's shift in mood. she looks over at him worriedly. "raha, are you all right?" digital comic panel 7/7 the world around g'raha is darkening. he trembles, clutching at his chest. alisaie, from off-panel, says, "g'raha?"

digital artwork of z'ahra as a very young child, hand in hand with his adoptive mother, rosie. she is a lalafell with tanned skin and white hair. digital artwork of z'ahra, fully-grown, with an oldie rosie. she's smiling just as brightly, even as her much taller son kneels behind her with a big smile, his tail curling around her.

digital artwork of halmarut and calyx in his plushie form in front of a green background. halmarut is nuzzling their faces together with a weary expression, saying, "oh, calyx, we're *really* in it now..." calyx clearly is not pleased with being cuddled. "halmarut can you lock the fuck in"
