Ul'dah...
Serenity had only dreamed of visiting the vast jewel of he desert. She'd read about it from many of her research tomes, how the monetarists had taken mere sand and turned it into gold. Serenity had heard tales from various adventurers of the daring tales of exploration, the fine cuisine of the various establishments... And oh, the nightlife! She'd heard rumors that one could have any desire sated by any number of heavenly maidens or fortuitous lords. A city where anything was possible... As long as you had the coin.Â
Serenity dug her hand into her leather pouch, feeling the cool golden chips of Gil against her finder. She always made sure to keep a modest amount of coins on her, but... She wanted so much to experience this whimsical city, to partake in its festivities and explore it's alleyways and denizens. Alas, Serenity knew from L'Rinhi's words that this was no pleasure cruise. As she watched her partner sway in her hammock, Serenity let her mind drift to the task at hand. What had caused such a disturbance within her..? Was her aether truly tainted? Was there even a cure?Â
She stood there motionless as the gentle swaying of the ship rocked the hammocks around them ever so gently. The entire ordeal had been quite a strain on the poor blonde. She'd gone from being auctioned off like a piece of meat, to feeling all sorts of new emotions towards Rini... And then there was her issue before her, looming like a dark cloud ready to drench her in rain if she wasn't careful.Â
Taking a seat at the edge of Rini's hammock, Serenity fidgets with her hands, her soft words crying louder than a scream for aid and reassurance.Â
"L'Rinhi... Can I... Can I be saved if my... Aether is tainted?"
