To World's Edge (early Shadowbringers - no warnings)

It takes the form of "typical" chapters, with various journal entries in between; a new style for me, as I wanted to experiment a little ahead of another project :)

Enjoy at your own pace !

Summary of "To World's Edge" A story set in early Shadowbringers, five years prior to the arrival of the Warrior of Light. After tumbling through the rift, Thancred and Kalha awaken in another world. Disorienting though this predicament may be, they decide to make the most of their unique situation, and embark upon a journey through what remains of Norvrandt - a journey which sees them evolve from strangers, simple colleagues, to proper friends. During their travels, they pick up the century-old trail of the Oracle of Light, and embark on a quest to find the truth of the legends surrounding Minfilia's presence in this world - a quest which will test their new relationship.

The Skies Descend (3/3)

With the enemy forces depleted for the moment, our heroes are free from the VIth Imperial Legion's clutches, and free to regroup with the Warrior of Light. The experience leaves Y'shtola perplexed by Kalha's abilities...

#kallore #kalpose
The spell subsides. In the bottom left corner, Alphinaud can be seen running towards Kalha to check on her. Apparently unphased, Estinien grunts, and states, "Would've been useful earlier." Y'shtola glares at him disapprovingly, her arms crossed. Estinien looks back at Y'shtola as she reprimands him. Y'shtola: "You might try being grateful, for a change." Alphinaud checks on Kalha. Alphinaud: "Are you alright!?" Kalha, panting: "I- I will be. We should get going." Alphinaud begins operating the allagan terminal to teleport away from the Gamma Quadrant and into the Delta Quadrant. Estinien stands away, waiting. Kalha watches Alphinaud interact with the terminal. Y'shtola stares at Kalha, still impressed with her earlier display of power. Y'shtola (in her thoughts): "Casting such a spell with so little preparation, and without a proper conduit besides... And still, her strength is not quite exhausted. No ordinary mage indeed..."

The Skies Descend (2/3)

Title.
As asked, Alphinaud, Y'shtola and Estinien stand behind Kalha, but remain on their guard. Kalha conjures an arcane scepter seemingly out of thin air, and begins casting a spell of devastating proportions. Y'shtola observes as Kalha prepares her spell, impressed and a little frightened by the sheer amount of aether involved in the magick. In the face of the oncoming enemies, Kalha slams down her scepter on the ground before her, her body now enveloped in a mix of blue and purple light, reflecting off of Estinien's crimson armor. Y'shtola and him watch as Kalha's spell reaches its breaking point. Kalha outstretches her arms and unleashes the magick. The skies turn red, and from among the clouds a meteor comes crashing down, obliterating all in its path. The ground shakes fiercely as the collision occurs.

The Skies Descend (1/3)

While the Warrior of Light heads to the heart of Azys Lla to confront the Archbishop, Estinien, Alphinaud, Y'shtola and Kalha are left to face wave after wave of Regula van Hydrus' VIth Imperial Legion.
Alphinaud, Kalha, Estinien and Y'shtola fend off imperial soldiers, aided by Alphinaud's faithful Carbuncle. A soldier lies dead in front of Alphinaud, while another is falling to their knees, struck by Estinien's lance and Alphinaud's spell. Alphinaud: "This isn't over. Look! More are coming!" Alphinaud looks to the side, and alerts his comrades to the arrival of another wave of enemies. On guard, Kalha and Y'shtola turn to the direction he looks in. A magitek vanguard, two magitek bits, and four imperial soldiers barrel down towards the group. All four stand ready to confront them, with Estinien and Alphinaud at the front, and Y'shtola and Kalha at the back. Y'shtola: "And there will be more. We may outlast this wave and the next with healing magicks, but we must find a way to break the cycle before our strength is spent!" Alphinaud turns his head to the side to hear what Kalha has to say. Kalha: "Allow me to stem the tide, then. Stand back!"

Oh YES. Kalha loves it so much that she studied forms of combat as one would academics; she loves it as an artform, as a way to express mastery... And she also enjoys a little danger (okay, sometimes more than 'a little').

The Logical Conclusion (2 chapters, ~6.5k words)

An epilogue of sorts to the shorter fics I wrote for #wolkoanaweek in mid/late August, because I couldn't leave their story where it was. :)

I suppose it's my belated day 8 entry, since I stopped at 7? 🤭

#8DaysofKoana Day 7 - Celebrate
Now that time allows for more frivolous matters to be dealt with, Koana and Kalha finally confront the elephant in the room, and come to terms with their feelings for one another... Or try to, at least.

#8DaysofKoana Day 6 - Vulnerable

My most raw piece yet, and probably of the whole week - and I do mean *emotionally* raw.

If you read only one of the things I've made this week, let it be this one. I'm not saying anymore.

I'm super into badminton! I love competition, so I play a lot of tournaments (when I'm not injured 😅), and sometimes I even win. :D

I'm also big into hiking where mountains are concerned - see pictures below. 😊
A wide-angle picture of a lake in the middle of the mountains, with the water being held in place by a dam on the right side of the picture. Another picture of a smaller lake, in the middle of especially rocky terrain. Cloudy weather. A picture of a snow-capped peak in front of the blue sky, with mist rising in the foreground in the lower left corner of the picture. A picture of a verdant valley covered in trees. In the upper right quadrant, a peak can be seen. There are a lot of clouds, but the weather is sunny and some blue parts of the sky can be seen.

#8DaysofKoana Day 5 - Family

With Zoraal Ja gone and Wuk Lamat otherwise engage, Koana's a little lost.

But what are friends for, if not to share such troubles with?

A Viper Lesson

Kalha offered Archilles a lesson in how vipers fight. Archilles is a willing student, albeit lacking a certain, uh... familiarity with the weapons of the trade. She's trying her best...

Big thanks to @mayannaise.app for letting me borrow Archilles <3

#KalhaPoses | #KalhaCollabs
Archilles arrives on the agreed training grounds. Archilles and a happy-looking Kalha exchange greetings. Archilles : "Hi Kal! I hope I'm not too late...?" Kalha : "Good to see you, Archilles! Right on time!" With her arms crossed, Kalha looks Archilles over. She praises her choice of attire, deeming it suitable for practice, although not for battle. In the top right corner, Archilles can be seen enjoying the praise. Kalha : "And I should also commend your choice of outfit. Although not very adapted to an actual battle, it is suitably light for our purposes today, leaving you free of your movements. Excellent choice!" Kalha hands over a pair of weathered twinfangs to Archilles. Kalha : "Well, let's get to it, shall we? For a novice like you, these should be adequate - no fancy flourishes, not too heavy, average length. The weight is rather evenly distributed too, though you should get a feel for it yourself. And don't worry - they're not too sharp." Archilles is seen struggling to hold up the twinfangs, unaccustomed to wielding such weapons. She tentatively asks how they work. In the top right corner, a confused but empathetic Kalha answers that question hesitantly. Archilles (in her thoughts) : "Ufff... heavy,," Archilles (out loud) : "Okay so, like... how do they work...?" Kalha : "Umm... they're swords? You swing them, they... cut things?"
