Thread: ☢Final Fantasy: Edyn's Lament☢ [-Haru|Lila-]

Aeshir smiled at her brother's words. It was smart not to rush in on her suddenly. The last thing they needed was for Hojo to think they were incompetent. That was one of the quickest ways to get him to list you as an unsuccessful experiment, and they all knew what he did with unsuccessful experiments. She had no desire to let him experiment on them further than he already had, nor did she wished to be used as a test subject in a combat test against someone like Judge, Hysteria, or Catastrophe. From the things she'd heard there was no getting out of that combat test alive. No one else had ever managed to do it. Agreed. The less attention we draw to ourselves the better. She added with a nod. She found herself smirking as she thought of the irony of that statement. The only place that Stone wouldn't have drawn attention to himself was in a Far'Anthi village, and she was quite certain that those were near impossible to find anymore. Though it's not as though we need any help with that. You do tend to turn heads brother. She said with a chuckle. She shook her head when he spoke of tipping her off so that she would run and extend their freedom. Part of me feels like that could be a very bad idea, brother dearest. She said with a sigh. Hojo had little patience for Stryker, and, if his journey was anything like ours, then Hojo sent us out after him before he even reached Lune. She added with a furrowed brow. Which means if he thinks for even one moment that we might not do as commanded that we'll be the next on his list for failed experiments. She shivered at that thought. I'm not quite sure about your feelings on the matter, but I personally have no desire to join the unfortunate names on that list. --------------- Lune smiled as Stryker mentioned that he could still feel Jenova, but that it was quite faint. This was a good sign. It meant that Jenova was not nearly as irreversible as Lune had originally thought. It made sense to her that the Far'Anthi might be able to ward Jenova off, but if a human like Stryker, regardless of how augmented he may have been, could withstand her control then perhaps there was hope for the people of Edyn after all. She smiled sadly when he spoke of how he wished he could hear the planet the way she did. That if everyone could hear Edyn perhaps Jenova could be utterly defeated. Jenova would have been destroyed the moment she landed if everyone could hear the planet the way my people do, Stryker. She sighed as she looked at him kindly. You say wish you could hear Edyn, hear her pain. She held her hands out towards him as she spoke again. Would you like me to show you? Would you like to hear the voice of the planet you seek to protect? --------------- Crest nodded a Cid's words. She was quite relieved that he had decided to listen to her. A part of her had not expected them to listen. She was new here and they had little reason to trust her, at least in her own eyes. They seemed to trust her quite a bit due to her Far'Anthi nature. A part of her was shocked by this, perhaps because so many of her kind had been kidnapped and experimented on. They tried to warn the people of Edyn but few seemed to have any desire to listen. Such unnecessary destruction had befallen Edyn due to the negligence of her people, but perhaps all was not yet lost. Crest nodded when Cid spoke of sending their most capable warriors. She leaned back against a wall and raised her hand slightly, just enough to garner attention. I'll go with you. Going after her will likely draw the attention of a lot of dangerous people in ARC, and you'll need someone that can help you find her. She said with a shrug. It will also help to have me in your ranks. If other Far'Anthi see you going after her they will be much less likely to kill you if I'm among you. She chuckled slightly. They wouldn't be less likely at all, they wouldn't dare to try. Crest had earned her title as executioner well, though there was yet a reason for these young ones to know of her position. She would reveal it when the time arose to do so. I imagine she'll also be less likely to run from you if I'm accompanying you. Crest spoke as though she knew exactly who they'd be going after, which she did. She knew Lune well, and she knew that if Lune had managed to get away then there had to be a way to defeat Jenova. She would, as many of her ancestors before her had, rally behind her queen. I'll go with you. Trissa said as she gave nod of thanks in Crest's direction. Me too! Bree said almost enthusiastically. And me! Syn added as her orange ears twitched in excitement. No. Trissa's voice rang clearly as she refused to let them join the hunt. The two of you will stay here. She said as she shot them both a look of warning. What! Syn seemed rather displeased at Trissa's words. Why not? Bree challenged. You both know why. She said as she sent them a stern gaze. Nabira sacrificed herself to keep the two of you safe, and I will not let you throw that away by putting an even bigger target on your backs than the ones you already have. The two viera sisters shut their mouths at the mention of Nabira. Nabira had been a mother figure to most of the group and losing her the way they did hit everyone hard. For Trissa to bring up what had happened meant that she was quite serious about her decision and panned to stick by it. Besides the two of you could be of great use to us here, and I know that SEED will be in good hands if you're here to protect it. She added in a much softer tone. This made the viera girls smile and nod. We won't let you down. They cheered in unison.
