Shagrath and I were traveling through Jeuno one afternoon when a woman approached us.
She was distressed and asked us to aid her.
Apparently her daughter had gone out to play and never returned.
A nearby Mithra, Luto, vouched for our skills at helping others.
I privately wondered why she didn't keep closer watch of the child as I happily agreed to aid her.
We set to asking the folks around Jeuno and got a few leads.
The little girl was last seen heading to the Eldieme Necropolis. So off we went.
We didn't have to wander too far in before we spotted the little blond hume.
I beckoned her to join us so that we could escort her back to Jeuno.
As she approached, a skeleton came up behind her.
Shagrath and I began to fight the creature. It wasn't very strong, which was good.
Then, out of no where, an Elvaan and a Hume showed up from the depths of the stairwell we were in.
They each provoked the skeleton!
Hey... there.. um...
Why did you do that?!
We are okay fighting this.. thanks, though. Plus we are pretty experenced fighters.
DON'T WORRY! WE SHAL SAVE YOU!!
What? No- We've got it, we're higher level.
They were much lower level then Sha and I, so I started casting a flurry of black magic to make quick work of the skeleton.
After the battle, the pair insisted on taking the little girl back to Jeuno for us.
Before I could protest, they warped with her in tow!
Ummm... Okay...
Wait... What were those guys doing down here with that little girl?!
They both seemed rather suspicious...
We quickly raced back to Jeuno, wondering if their motives were less then honorable.
The girl's mother assured us the child had been returned safely and thanked us.
Luto, who had recommended our talents to the mother, rewarded us with a silver ingot for our trouble.
At that point the mysterious Hume and Elvaan appeared. They started speaking about a mirror that they held in their possession.
Then began blabbering on insanely about how they frequently obey its every whim.
With that, the strange pair insisted something was amiss just outside of San d' Oria and took off.
Hmm that doesn't seem to be very healthy behavior.
Yeah.. I wouldn't obey a mirror >_>
Just as Sha-chan and I were about to go meet with Maat, Luto asked us to go assist the... Hume and Elvaan.
We tracked the duo to Ghelsba outpst and upon examining one of the huts we were attacked by a dragon.
Shagrath and I were making quick work of the creature when...
Once again out of no where appeared the Elvann and the Hume
PRAaaaVOKE!!!!!!!!!!
Oh no! Not this again!
Guys! Seriously, we have this covered!
Ye-gads! The monster is too strong!
No... It really isn't...
It must be drawing power from the mirror it has!
What... mirror? No it isn't...
Shagrath, are you okay? The mirror is feeding power to the beast!
I shall save the day and smash the mirror!
We're fine!!
Kiamoko casts Water II and defeats the dragon.
Gunner smashes the mirror.
After a brief and awkward conversation, they warped away.
Sha-chan and I made our way back to Jeuno and showed the broken mirror to Luto.
Oh no! It's cracked!
Guess who showed up... That Elvaan and Hume, trying to explain why the mirror had been damaged.
Well I had to break the mirror in order to save Shagrath and his lady Kiamoko!
Wait-- my lady what?
All Sha-chan and I could do was shake our heads and sigh.
As every time we tried to explain the truth of the incident, they would simply talk over us.
Oh well if it was to save their lives then it was worth it I suppose.
I'll just hang onto it for the time being anyway.
Then the hume pulled me aside.
The glass of all-seeing is showing me your face, Kiamoko.
Have I been led to you?
I knew we were supposed to meet.
Here, I want you to have this.
Wait.. what?
It's a linkpearl to my linkshell SignalCult!! You can use it to contact me anytime! ::wink::
Oh! And we'll need a nice rendezvous point to meet up, won't we?
I don't think so...
How about Ru'Lude Gardens! Or North San d'Oria? Or maybe Port Bastok...? Oh wait! Your home nation is Windurst--- So when you are there, how about Waters. Or perhaps your mog house? ::wink::
I... uhhh... think... maybe...--heh.... You have the wrong imprrrression...heh--
OK!!! See you again SOON Kiamoko!!!
No--- Shagrath!!!!
What's the matter Kiamo?
Sha-chan.... That hume guy was super creepy! He gave me a linkpearl.
Yeah, his Elvaan compatriot wasn't much better. He did the same and wanted me to meet him in my mog house....
Oh my Goddess! The Hume suggested the same to me!
You should warn Sarima about him.
Yeah... I know lately she's been allowing people in... when I'm still in my sleeping attire.
Hahaha!!! Sorry about that, Kia, but hey... It was worth it, huh?
I stuck my little pink tongue out at Sha-chan and flipped my hair asde to reveal the Astral Earring that I was still wearing.
Oh aye Sha-chan, I love it! I suppose we are free now to go have that chat with Maat.
Yes, lets! And while we're at it, we should drop these linkpearls.
We headed up to Ru'Lude Gardens, where we discarded the pearls.
The peculiar pair was near by and found the pearls we had dropped.
Hey!! Hey there Shagrath and Kiamoko!! You guys dropped these!!
It's a good thing we just happened to be strolling by to find them for you!
Oh... Gee... Thanks... However could that have happened... I must have a hole in my pocket... !?
Want to hang out?!?!
Uh... No... I was just going to see Maat.. I had better go home now and fix the hole in my pocket. I guess my clothcraft skills need some work!
Oh maybe I could mend it, let me see your---
Kiamoko uses Chainspell! Kiamoko Starts casting warp! Kiamoko vanishes!
Byebye Kiamoko!!! I'll catch you later. Bye Grauffemart and Shagrath!!
So.. Shagrath... want to hang out on the bench or something?
No... I... well... see... that older gentleman there seems to be about to sit...
What?! Well what the heck. Is that old man over there planning to sit down on that bench or what? And they complain about the younger generation being inconsiderate...
You know what! I just got word from my house moogle that I left my kitchen... on... fire?! Gotta blaze!
Shagrath uses flee.
