∙ Sehya Elakha ∙

"My mother? Aye, she lives in South Shroud still with her clan last I knew. One of their most talented huntresses. Never was as close to her as I wished."

∙ X'mihrab Tia ∙

"Word is my father hails from Thavnair, heir to a chemist trade. I've no recollection of him. All I know is my mother spoke often and warmly of him. He gifted her the word ahsra for her love of the night... and so she bestowed it unto me."

∙ Temur Iriq ∙

"My... my betrothed. Was, that is. ...'ve not much to say. Good man. Loving. Deserved better'n what I gave him. ...seven hells, he deserved so much better."

∙ Lucent Devereaux ∙

"My mentor and a man I've not seen for years now. S'pose he was the father I never had if you've mind to call him such. Was for the best we parted ways, though I wonder how he fares..."

∙ Vhaso'a Ndiahye ∙

"An old friend I've not seen for some time. Like as not he's still wandering the Twelveswood, though perhaps he's found calling in mercenary work as well. Even now, I'd trust him with my life."

∙ Emilienne Lavigne ∙

"Twelve above, the woman acts as if she's my mother, damn near chastising the whole time she heals. S'a wonder I've bothered to seek her out time after time, but every sellsword needs a conjurer's help every so often."

∙ Syrilda Wolfe ∙

"Knocked me flat on my arse and bought me a drink not a bell later. Laughed her way to the tavern and nearly got into another fistfight while waiting on our drinks. Once heard her called 'Rhalgr's Right Fist.' S'pose she's given more'n her fair share of black eyes."

∙ The Jackal ∙

"A whoreson hellbent on slitting my throat. To hells with him! I'll see him rot before I do."

∙ The Viper ∙

"Showed up with that Twelve forsaken Miqo'te. Seven hells, s'just what I need, a godsdamned mage out for my head."

Studious and duty-bound to a fault, Astraeus is often found toiling in the gardens of Elpis or pouring over his research. Despite how much time he devotes to his papers, he is an adept mage, excelling in both offensive and curative magicks. Only two things can drag him away from his work: his own insatiable curiosity and his unruly partner, Apollo.And though he once declined the proffered seat of Azem, Astraeus frequently bears the title when Apollo shirks his duties.

Til Death do us Part (AU)

Temur x Zhyk

💕🌺💚

Before the world you know was like it is,
I held a lover once and I was his.
And we walked along the river in the sun.

"Promise you'll stay strong and carry on." These were words Zhyk oft repeated while he mourned, but if that fateful day in the depths of Dzemael Darkhold had not come to pass - if Temur had lived - what sort of life would they have led?

Guiding Stars (Wolverse)

Darjeeling x Zhyk

💕🌺💚

Like the sun on your face.
The dreams of starry nights.
And we are homeward-bound.

A mere sellsword. The fabled Warrior of Light. Two paths unlikely to cross, yet when the Scions of the Seventh Dawn seek aid from Eorzea's mercenaries, Zhyk finds himself working alongside that very same hero - Darjeeling Theifera. Little do either know, their relationship is a romance that spans the ages.

In Dreams We Wake

Koinos x Zhyk

🪙💚

Leave me in the afterglow
The dew of dying stars
And in the morning
We'll wonder where we are

Seeking a guide through the Sea of Blades, Zhyk joins forces with Koinos Dazkar - an adventurer born and raised on the Azim Steppe. Together they hunt the baku, a beast capable of putting men into endless slumber. But is there more to this "dream-eater" than they've been told?
