Spirit
- Translucent spirit of a woman
- wore a white dress
- white hair
- white eyes and skin
- Had a Red Lotus pin on her clothing, that stood out the most
- Visions
- blood
- a dagger raised before punging downward
- life leaving
- water grows red with blood
- ...no peace.
- whispers, flowing like an unending river
- screaming and howling
- begging for mercy
- cursing the gods
- cursing me
- "The raven, the Raven, the RAVEN. Why... why WHY?!"
- She came closer
- "Life was given. Life was stolen. For you. For YOU. For the Raven. For the Mountain. For the Bear. For the Oak. For you, You, YOU."
- I ask what I can do to answer her
- She doesn't speak words, though I hear thoughts.
- There is anger, wishing for revenge, anguish
- "Find me. Find Me. FIND ME."
- More visions
- A splash of water
- hulking creatures move through muddy... liquid
- A strange tree looming over heat, golden sand, and stone
- A knife plunges deep
- Life leaves.
- Aether streams off in shining strands
- Likely the place where she died
- And the place she wishes me to find.
- She then moved elsewhere, back the way she came
- A Miqote was near me
- started stammering about how he got similar visions
- asked if I knew what to do or how to help.
- Got something different
- "I saw something again! I saw what looked like some sort of expedition she was going on, perhaps she was a soldier...? She didn't call me anything though, no names... I just saw blood. Lots and lots of blood..."
- Mentioned an 'Oasis Place'
- said he was a dancer and entertainer
- not 'cut out' for a murder mystery
- Oasis Place = Forgotten Springs
- Sagolii desert
- claimed the setting of the sand and water looked familiar
- Had not heard of the Sisters of the Red Lotus
- She wandered by again, and I got another vision
- Cold water
- ran up to her ankles
- a menacing tree overhead
- Creatures as large as homes nearby
- sands warm from the sun
- antlings were too far to be dangerous
- Looked at us with white eyes
- then vanished into a mist
- The Miqo'te asked why us
- I mentioned I thought I knew what it was connected to
- showed him the gem
- He thought perhaps I had killed her in a past life
- I said I thought it was connected to the stone itself, what it's doing with Aether, or perhaps that she is connected to it somehow. Perhaps 'The Raven' owned this gem prior, or it was created from something of theirs.
- Thus she connects me, as the holder, to The Raven
- Miqo'te thought that she might equate me with the Raven, her killer, and wish me to atone for his crimes somehow.
- Is not a scholar
- Though offered to help by seeking out information at the Taverns
- Miqo'te
- Waltz Concerto
- traveling dancer and entertainer
- I gave my first name
- Waltz decided he would help me and needed nothing in return
- wished to see the woman at peace.
- would contact me with what he learns
- He would also like to know what I find out
- Should send word to him by Moogles with 'Waltz'.
