Did something happen?

After hunting off the coast of Mist's Edge, I swam ashore to see the remains of a large creature. Did something happen? Or is it just as the world is?

I stood looking at the cozy cave the shell formed. Wondering if I would make a nice place to stay....

From within

There are things in this world that are confusing and odd...

Things that are not understandable...

There is no reason to think that we fully understand or know what it is. Or even know or understand what another individual is thinking. For when we think of something that another thinks, we in turn make it our thoughts. Altering it in a way by our own perspective that it could not truly have its original meanings.

To assume that a person knows what another is thinking or why something is, is based on how each individual feels. Being able to feel and think like another person is a difficult thing. For each person is unique.

From Within

And no matter how hard a person may try to understand others, there seems to be a larger force that prevents it.

Each moment, interaction or reaction a person encounters creates them into who they are. Could there be two people that have identical experiences and reactions? It might be possible. Or maybe the closest a person can get is to empathize with others.

I find it interesting how a person can say 'I understand" when what they reply sounds nothing like what is being talked about. Or how people assume things. Assuming things is a fun guessing activity, but to believe assumptions does not seem like a very good thing to do.

Today, I am seeing it as there is a gigas in each of us. Something that has grown so large that it influences each person. It could be arrogance, shyness, confidence, jealously, insecurity, care, etc. Some people are good at expressing positive actions. While others are not. Some like to hide the negative actions with positive actions. But who is the real individual?

Just because it is the 'right' thing to do does not mean you need to do it all the time. Like anything when there is an extreme positive there will be an extreme negative. Sometimes I wonder if people who are extremely positive just allow for the extremely negative to happen sometimes. And because they are trying to be positive they make the negative seem like it wasn't negative at all. Almost ignoring and not addressing some important issues. Issues should be addressed. But there is always the fear of not being understood. Which is more than likely an accurate assumption, that people will not understand some comments. Seems like an initial reaction is to think of it as an insult. Sometimes... things are just statements... opinions... not meant to mean anything other than what maybe be happening.

Which brings me to the subject of 'fault' one of those words I do not care to use. But that I will leave for another day of random thought that float in my head.

The Green Lady

One cloudy day in North Gustaberg I saw this wandering sapling maiden. She had an unusual name. She merrily hopped around, not pausing a bit when I called out to her. I nudged at her a few times with my trident to get her attention. After a while she gave me an optical earring.

Zegham Hill

A sweet day at Zegham Hill. The sun in the pale blue sky. As the fluffy marshmallow bunnies go floating by. The green leaves rustle as they listen to the small cool breeze whispering in the trees. My footsteps are left in the ground that is powdered with a gray-brown dust, much like a powdered cinnamon donut.

As I climb higher I can feel the air become crisp and refreshing. Yet there is a sound I hear, telling me something, that I can not understand. That hmm hmmm.... What is it saying to me?

Might it be urging me to continue higher? Hmmm hmm hmm... The heat of the golden honey sun keeps shining on me. The warmth combines with the breeze that makes my head feel light. Think, think, why was I here? I saw the path leading up and started to climb....

There was a reason I came. I was here once before on a request to bring some flowers to a monument. But why did I come today? The earthiness is in the air. Hmmm...hmmm.hmmm. The hill... remember... I will just have to come back another day.

The Magicites

While in Jeuno I was able to get an audience with the Archduke. He wanted to get some items from the three beastmen strongholds. The Archduke said he would give me an airship pass if I was able to get him the stones.

Aldo was staring at his map when I got to his office. Verena stop by for a short while and spoke to Aldo, Something that Verena said will always stick in my mind. There's more to life than what you see in front of you. We are all flowing on the river of life, not just watching from the banks. Verena was concerned about Fickblix. I am not really sure why. I think she just worries about everyone.
Aldo gave me a Silver bell to help me get to the magicite in Beadeaux. I went to see Sattal-Mansal for the other two items that would allow me to enter in to the area with the magicite. Sattal asked for a Quadav Augury shell and a Quadav Charm. Once he had these he gave me what I needed.

Looking for more items that would allow me passage to the magicites, I stop in at Muckvix's Junk Shop. Muckvix sent me on an errand. I visited Paya-Sabya in upper Jeuno where he was waiting for his plants to sprouty-wout.When I went back to visit with Muckvix, he mention that I would have to light some torches. Flickblix walked in and had a torch that he was able to spare. He was head to Castle Oztroja. Seems odd that a goblin would be traveling to visit the yagudos.

While in Upper Jeuno I also spoke to Baudin. He has a sister named Audra who is ill. She craves raw meat. Baudin gave me a crest of Davoi for a piece of Coeurl meat. Audra took the meat to her room, all we heard was munching. I was a bit disturbed that she said "...drenched in bright red blood!"

My first magicite I went to was the one in Castle Oztroja. Fickie died.The Magicite has memories of converstion. I saw images of Star Sybil, Karah-Barauha. Also yagudos.. Gawk! Gawk!... Kahk!... Kahk-ka-ka....

At Beadeaux, I saw images of Ulrich killing quadavs. Cornelia and Raogrinm were with him. Raogrinm said the quadavs were trying to protect their eggs.

I went to Davoi. More images from the past, of people and things that happened.

Lion showed up. And we saw the Shadow of Darkness.

But in the end I went back to the Archduke and presented him with the Opitistone, Aurastone and Orastone.

I was given an airship pass. And when I went to my embassy they promoted me to Rank 5.

A bunny

A day of shopping in Jeuno and what do i see? A cage. What a great idea! A bunny cage that hangs from the ceiling.

I would have to get a larger home if I wanted to get bunny cages. Right now it is crowded with Moogle in my one room home.

Hmmmm...

Have you ever looked at something or someone and had a reaction to it? Everything I see in Vana'diel I look at with interest.

Fang

Every line, shape, color, etc. There is an elegance to everything in this world.
