A boy is watching from a distance as a small crowd of researchers, forum members and scholars converse with his mother Cordelia and sister Eeva near Old Sharlayan’s Aetheryte Plaza, a fiery carbuncle in their midst. Monologue: [ Ever have I envied you.] Author’s note: Basildere is an NPC that can be found at Old Sharlayan’s Aetheryte Plaza. I made a younger version of him for the purpose of this comic. This comic also displays a younger version of Cordelia from when her children were little.

The camera zooms into the distant scene from before, where the conversations can now be heard. Leontine: “My, what a unique glow. And you summoned it all by yourself?” (the carbuncle) Cordelia: “Indeed. It was forged out of an Allagan Ruby my late brothers brought back from one of their excursions, gods rest their souls. Isn’t that so, Eeva?” Eeva: “Yes, Mother.”

The focus shifts to the carbuncle, a unique fiery aura surrounding it. Eeva: “I revised the formula’s aspect ratio to strengthen its aetherial potency.” Leontine: “So young and so gifted, truly remarkable.”

Monologue: [Your presence burned like the scorching sun, drawing me ever closer.] Basildere: “A little prodigy, then? Just like her mother. Your parents must be so proud of you.” Cordelia places a hand on her daughter’s shoulder, smiling with pride. Cordelia: “We are, indeed.”

Sidestory: Like A Moth To A Flame – Part 1 (1/8)

This side story focuses primarily on Eeva's younger brother Silas and establishes important lore for my Warrior of Light.

My Warrior of Light Eeva is surrounded by darkness, the only light source a light golden fire burning from her finger tips, setting an approaching "moth" aflame. This is a teaser for an upcoming comic of the same name. The fire has been edited into the motif.

My Warrior of light lie on cold ground, surrounded by cobwebs, dressed in a dark gown with slightly transparent fabric. She is holding a picture frame, but the image merely depicts that which you see in the initial motif, over and over again, as if in a spiral. The motif has something ghostly about it. The title is inspired by a poem from Edgar Allan Poe: A Dream Within A Dream. "Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone?"

My WoL Eeva lies in the water, staring at her reflection as silent tears make their way down her cheeks. Butterflies ascend from her current self, while her reflection shows her past self. There are no butterflies showing in her reflection, as they symbolize transformation, and her past self symbolizes a moment frozen in time.

A group of troublemakers get reprimanded after Eeva solved the issue. Now she watches the group facing the consequences. The scene is based on a canon main story questline: Double Dealings.

Later that day: Introducing the scene. Eeva and Sevrin, the main culprit, is awaiting further punishment as Eeva waits for her reward. We see both of them sitting on a bench from afar, with a huge gap between them.

Eeva can’t stop staring, judging Sevrin quietly. Eeva: “...”

Sevrin notices Eeva’s stare and finally speaks up. Sevrin: “If ye’ve got ought to say, then say it.”

Comic Remake (2023): A New Perspective (1/3)

Some seem to be born for the role of Warrior of Light, for the role of hero.
But some need to grow into the role others bestow upon them. Some more than others, no matter what fate dictates.
