I didn't sleep well that night. I just lay there on the cold stone floor, watching the nightmares of what had occurred that day. When morning finally arrived everything around seemed cold and still. The priests that had been murmuring outside the door that night had taken Briddy away while we slept. There came a sudden noise at the door and the sound of a failure voice. Everyone stood up and stared on as Tsiife rushed over, flinging the doors open. It was Briddy. Though she was hobbling on a cane, she was alive and her right arm seemed to be back on her shoulder. I felt a heavy weight lift slightly from my heart. I'm glad she did not pass away while we were asleep.
Briddy explained that in the night the priests took her to have her final rights read, but then someone by the name of Solitia appeared. She used a substance on Briddy that had been taken from her apparently years ago and reattached her arm. Everyone seemed extremely relived, especially Tsiife. It wasn't long before the conversation changed to the matter at hand.
Tsiife took out a bazaar linkpearl and listened carefully to it before reporting to us that Jeuno was, once again, being decimated. The Jeuno airship armada had apparently been deployed to attempt to handle the situation. Things weren't looking good, we needed all the help we could get to be able to even face Alberic to talk with him. Tsiife then suggested that we seek the aid to the terrestrial avatars. This seemed to be a good idea.
Caenir and I were sent to go see Carbuncle, Mai to Bahamut, Tsiife to Fenrir, and Briddy would remain at the church to speak with Diabolos in a dream. I gave her my vile of dream incense so she could enter his realm. After that I teleported the others to the respective crags they needed to go to and then Caenir and I went to visit Carbuncle. When we reached the Rainbow Glade Carbuncle appeared and spoke with Caenir. He expressed his worry for what was happening and agreed to help us. He transformed his form into a long pole, its surface shimmered in the many colored lights though what it was made from I couldn't tell. Taking it from where it floated in the air, I handed it to Caenir to hold on to.
I took out the linkpearl that Mai had given me and attempted to contact the others. Tsiife was apparently about to speak with Fenrir, but Mai didn't respond and Briddy was obviously asleep. Caenir and I decided to walk back to the crag of Holla to wait for word from the others. It began raining when we got close to the crag, which brought back a bitter memory. We waited under the shelter of the ancient structure for any sound over the linkshell. Tsiife spoke again after a long while of silence, saying that she had received two blades from Fenrir and was on her way to the crag of Holla. Mai finally spoke saying she had made it to the Monarch Linn, but Bahamut was nowhere in sight.
There was a sudden whimpering over the linkshell and Tsiife said we should head back to San d'Oria to check on Briddy. Mai said she would catch up after looking around a bit but trailed off while speaking. The three of us quickly rented some chocobos and made our way back to San d'Oria. When we arrived Briddy was still sleeping, but stirred after a few moments, holding out a black gem apparently given to her by Diabolos. Looking at all the items given to us by the terrestrial avatars they seemed to be all part of one weapon.
Mai finally arrived and the others assembled the weapon to make a powerful looking spear. Unsure of how exactly to wield it against Alberic, they decided to go back to Windurst to discuss matters more. While the others headed to Tsiife's house I fell behind and instead went to my own house. Mel was on her way out to visit her brother Kaido and she bid me a good day.
I use the peace in my mog house to write this entry now. I do wonder what the others are speaking about, but I needed some time to think. Perhaps I'll go visit them in
*the entry seems to cut off abruptly*
