== History ==
While waiting for Kleon, a visitor from Amaurot, she meets the Warrior of Light who introduces themselves as Azem's familiar. Worried, Maira asks Warrior of Light to look for him. After Warrior of Light rescues Kleon and returns to Poieten Oikos, Kleon explains that the reason for his visit was because he was worried that the concepts might not be suitable for release into the wild. Impressed with Warrior of Light during the rescue, Kleon insists that Warrior of Light join them in the evaluation.
Kleon talks about another concept that should be evaluated named "io". The party accompanies Alkaios to the place where the io is normally found, but the creature is nowhere to be found. At Maira's suggestion, they split up to track down the concept. On finding the creature, Kleon shares his plans for the creature's place in the world. Unfortunately, however, Alkaios is forced to point out that although the beast is physically powerful, it doesn't possess the characteristics needed to become a dominant hunter. Noting the io's tendency towards nutritional deficiency, he asks that the concept be changed from a predator to a herbivore.
Disappointed that his favorite creation seems destined to become prey, Kleon asks Warrior of Light for suggestions on how to turn it into a predator. After Warrior of Light observes the flaws and possible improvements before making his report to his anxious creator. Kleon rushes off to make adjustments. When Kleon returns with his new and improved io, a beast that is given the title "behemoth". Satisfied that his creation now qualifies as a dominant form of wildlife, Kleon leaves the party while he returns to Amaurot to start work on his next concept. Both Alkaios and Maira thank the Warrior of Light for his help.
When the Warrior of Light accompanies Maira and Alkaios on a visit to Overseer Sokles and Charmion in Anagnorisis, Sokles explains that several creatures have fallen victim to angry lykaones. Sokles called on Alkaios to speed up the decomposition of the remains with time magics, and the Warrior of Light was invited to take part in this service.
At the site of the fallen creations, the conversation turns to the subject of mourning and the Warrior of Light shares the traditions of honoring the dead. Fascinated by the idea of leaving a physical reminder, Maira asks the Warrior of Light to follow her to a place where she can prepare an offering of flowers for the deceased.
Having gathered a small handful of "krinoi" conjured by Maira, the Warrior of Light delivers the offering to the waiting Sokles. Sokles accepts the flowers and places them with the remains. The simple gesture, together with Alkaios' solemn words, seems to have touched the hearts of those present. The Anagnorisis observers thanked for their contribution before sending them back to Poieten Oikos.
After the sundering, Venat, as Hydaelyn, took the remains of Maira's soul and used it to create Nymeia, one of the Twelve gods of Eorzean pantheon, known as The Spinner.
