exsilium | 001 [Video]

[The video begins with Ashe sitting on the corner of her bed. The Sword of Kings, an intricate two-handed sword, is propped against the wall on the bed. Dark circles and bags have formed under Ashe's eyes, making it clearly that she has barely slept since her arrival. She grips the Dawn Shard tightly in her hand, it reminds her of home and the warm desert breeze that she misses so. Ever since her arrival she has worried what is happening back in her homeland.]

Does anyone know what happens in our homes while we are here?

[She pauses clutching the Dawn Shard to her breast.]

If I have disappeared in Ivalice, then who knows what sort of terrible fate will befall my people. I have abandoned my people when their need is most dire. There is much I need to do at home and yet I sit here awaiting instructions.

[Sighing heavily she bites down on her lip, and then reached up brushing back a few loose strands of dark blonde hair.]

I do not mind helping, as I understand one's need for freedom, but I wish they would at least put my mind at ease. I have my own worries and plights to deal with, I fear I cannot handle being a part of another resistance while my mind is clouded with thoughts of my own. It would simply be too much for me to handle.

According to those who've experienced it, time "stops" back in our worlds. No one notices we're no longer there.

I understand how you feel. My world was at war when I left it, and here I am in another one. But if this world is anything like the last one I was in, you'll return home as if you never left.

[She breathes a heavy sigh of relief and takes a few moments to regain her composure before typing a reply. While she's never been the sort to invoke the gods, but it's one of the few moments in her life where she must acknowledge them.]

Oh, thank the gods.

I know it may be a minor relief, but I've been told by someone who's been back and forth between his world and this one about how time never passed.

Not ta worry. They'll be alright.

Unless it was explodin', before you got here, in which case it's stuck in the middle a' that.

[She nods, taking a few seconds before replying.]If that's the case, then it's quite a relief.

But with that said, I don't think you should close yourself off from any friendships you might make here. I've made some dear friends while I've been away from home... I wouldn't trade it for anything.

That's quite reassuring.

'Tis much more than a minor relief. I fear I would not have been able to function, if I had not known. I must admit that does sound rather strange.

I'm not sure how to explain it either.

Perhaps...I've never truly had time for such things as it was "below my station."

Well, I could spin you a sweeter lie. You'd prefer that?

They tell us that our worlds will remain as we left them. Unless we fail in our purpose here, and then they'll surely be consumed by whatever plague befell this one!

[ His tone is more mocking than grave. ]

Another resistance? My, but you sound a busy woman!

We're all sitting here and waiting. There isn't much we can do about it.

In addition to all the other things people mentioned, the one person I know who left and came back also said that while he was gone, he did not remember here at all, but remembered that he didn't remember when he came back.

[she visibly bristles at that phrase] No one is "below" anyone else anymore.

Does that mean no one really knows how it happens?

I meant no offense, but as the sole heiress the Dynast King's legacy I have known nothing else my entire life.

No thank you, that is all I needed to know.

N..no, it isn't your fault. I've just had to endure people thinking they're better than me for a long time.

[There's a short pause before she begins to speak.] What do you mean?

You know nothing of me and my people. I did not come here to be mocked.

They say that if we do not help our worlds'll fall to the enemy they'd have us fight.

[...]

It's up to you if you believe them.

No, no, there's no mockery here! It's an honest observation. The fact is, the Initiative may finally have brought themselves someone up to the their task.
