This one was harder.
She fingers the letter, skin sliding over fine vellum as her resolve wavers for a moment. More than anyone, Xel’enfer had given her the resolve to leave, and yet, he was the one she least wished to hurt.
He had been the first one able to overcome her stubbornness, to force her to see the world in something like logic. That her crusade in Ul’dah would not succeed as things stood. It had been a hard pill to swallow, one that had left her aimless for weeks.
What was a revolutionary without a revolution, after all.
Evangeline did not like the idea of bowing to the realities of the world, yet bashing her head against an impossible task seemed even less desirable. So if this revolution did not work… she’d find another.
Somewhere out there in the world there must be injustices to overcome, wrongs she could right. Tyrants to crush, people to inspire. She smiles, her confidence returning and as places the crisp letter on the desk of Xel’enfer’s study.
Master Xel’enfer,
I am leaving for a journey. I assume your first act upon reading this will be to enlist all matter of dark servants to drag me back home. However despite that, I insist upon two things.
I am a very hard woman to find when I do not wish to be.
If you attempt to do so, whatever anger you might feel will pale in comparison to my own.
I know I am not a very good servant to write such, but we both know a collar fit poorly upon my neck. Perhaps that is why we enjoyed each other so. I promise we will meet again, but I must clear my head. There is so much of Eorzea to still see and experience, and so much of myself to still discover.
Stay safe Xel.
Your Disobedient Servant,
- Evangeline
Evangeline blushes and places a trio of silver rings, accented with Amethysts alongside the letter, before walking off.
