Knightly Encounter [WOL]

[Agrias Oaks]

Is it going to be enough? 10 years from now where the cataclysm is to happen, Agrias needed, somehow, to end the age of technology. She thought many reasons for this to happen, and the most obvious one was the fact that if technology does not ends her world in the future was to disappear being replaced with an era of machines. All of this Agrias had in her mind as she rested at ease inside the planar rift she jumped into after parting ways with Cryseide. Rabanastre was no longer a comfortable place, and she needed to find out more about her brand and focus before leading the apocalypse. Suddenly, the portal opened and she landed in a place were peace emerged from the bare ground.

This place was pure white, like in the middle of nowhere. Only a throne was settled in the middle of the white mist that suspended in the environment. North, south, east or west... everything was the same. The ground was endless and the sky was clouded, quite similar to the Necrohol back in Ivalice. Agrias then thought might be the hall of the Gods, those whom she thought no longer existed and abandoned their kingdom in the War of the Lions. Maybe they existed, and abandoned humankind after war and treachery exploded. Quite possible...

Agrias knelt in front of the pearly white throne and looked towards the empty space. "Dear Gods, here I stand, still believing the almighty purpose of your existence is what drives the life of this pitiful knight. My lords, please heed my words. Tell me why, me, a servant of your liege has to cause so much harm. I need an answer and then my heart will be at ease" Agrias said while placing her hand in the left part of her chest.

She then felt the presence of another being, maybe it was the gods showing themselves to provide Agrias with the answer she has been looking for all this years. The holy knight turned to look at the empty surroundings with her right hand on the grip of her two handed sword. Her eyes narrowed, trying to see among the dense mist but only shadows and dust were in the panorama. "I mean no harm, please reveal yourself"

Then from the thick mist, the very image of Ovelia materialized. With a smile on her face, she walked towards Agrias as the Holy knight quickly knelt in respect for the royal princess. As always, the image of Ovelia gestured her to stand and smiled in return. The mist from the ground before her dispersed, revealing a pond of transparent viscous solution that revealed an era if the technology is to persist for the next century in the world of Ivalice.

Agrias could see a world where machinery and robotics took over the regions of the kingdom. War was a never ending struggle that destroyed every town and natural resource in its path. Ovelia then showed Agrias that the Zodiac Stones were never created since humankind only struggled to achieve a technological advance and when the 50 year war started the zodiac warriors never brought peace to the land. And thus the war still remained.

Ovelia faded into nothingness while Agrias closed her eyes, now knowing that her focus is not a evil as she thought. She was a Holy Knight, a warrior of the gods, a woman that served nothing but for the good. Her heart now rested at ease as she turned back to the throne and prayed about the success of her new mission.

[Warrior of Light]

A…lot had been happening lately. Warrior wasn’t sure what to make of it anymore. He’d finally ‘gotten the girl’ as most Knights in fairytales did with their princesses, but…still, this was no storybook ending. He was still missing those memories he longed to find, he’d promised Cosmos that he wouldn’t stop searching for information about himself, for his history and what it held, if anything at all. After assisting a fellow comrade, Lightning, by aiding Cosmos to Valhalla to rest upon Etro’s throne, Warrior had taken his leave, but not for long. He trusted that in Valhalla, Cosmos would be okay, if anything, she could call upon Lightning for assistance, but for now, Warrior was going to keep to his word and continue to search. The first place he wanted to check out was Order’s Sanctuary, it was the first memory that came to mind.

It was here that Cosmos had granted the wishes of her two faithful companions, also warriors of Cosmos, to bring the Warrior to their side, it was here where he’d finally be given a reason to move forward, instead of being a shell, a mere manikin, and that’s exactly what he was, though he didn’t know it. He believed that there was a past to be discovered, but he didn’t know that he was simply a form of another warrior, one who lived before his time, one from Cornelia. If he could recover that past…then maybe he’d be able to sleep a little better at night. Still, the words Prishe had told him rang in his head. Memories didn’t make a person, being able to move forward and wake up day after day, that proved that he was ‘alive and kickin’, as she had put it. There was something that was still fuzzy in his memories of the Dissida cycles, what she’d decided to name him. He could remember her flying to her feet, running around him and even tugging on him, but the name…it was all a big blur. Had she told Cosmos like she said she was going to? Why hadn’t he thought to ask her…

…ugh.

Stepping out of the gate that had formed from Valhalla, leading him to the places he wanted to go, he looked at the watery sanctuary. Looking at and hearing the trickling of water beneath his armored feet. His eyes gazed forward at the sight of a newcomer in this place, not a warrior of Cosmos or Chaos, and it reminded him of himself when he’d first come to this place. He was merely nothing, close to no side and simply out of the loop, as was this young lady his eyes were drawn to. She was praying at Cosmos’ throne, even though the goddess was not here. Still, he could appreciate such respect. Stepping forward, his armor making noise as he did so, he approached the young lady, standing a few feet back from her as he continued to try and read as to what she was, a good heart he could tell that much…but motives and her reason for being here…that he had no idea of. “Praying to the gods I see.” He spoke up in that more…stoic tone of his has he remained a good few feet behind the blond, not wanting to startle her with his appearance. As the lead Warrior of Cosmos, if there was something he could do to aid her…it would be in his best interest to do so. He was a knight and held many morals, serving the light and those who belonged to it was one of them.

[Agrias Oaks]

Not seeing anyone in the inside the mist that covered this place, Agrias turned back to the empty throne made of perfect white marble. She gazed towards the dim light that went trough the sky and then prayed in gratefulness to the Gods for revealing to her the truth about her focus. In the end... it was an honorable task and not an evil deed. A smile was drawn in her face, after seeing Ovelia's silhouette. Since the last battle against the High Seraph, she has not seen the princess neither Ramza or his troupe. It was like everybody faded or scattered, like if the Necrohol made them disappear. From that day, she was lonely with no one to rely on.

Then a stoic voice called for her attention. The armored man standing behind her wore armors that were either similar or older than the ones used in Ivalice. By the looks of it, this mas was not looking for any battle, neither meant any harm, otherwise, he made Agrias quite comfortable in this lonely place. "One shall ever be grateful to the Gods and their miracles." She replied while standing in front of the knight and extending her hand towards him in a friendly manner. "Lady Agrias Oaks is my name. May I have yours?" She asked naively, seeing in the man a bit of discomfort in his eyes for the question.

Agrias lowered her hand and looked around the scenery... she haven't thought about where she was and how to get out of here. She was so pleased about the message from the Gods that she did not cared about anything else than to be grateful and serve them proudly as she always does. Agrias thought she was in the Necrohol, trapped among the dead beings. Maybe everything that happened was just part of a dream to make her realize her new tasks as a servant of the Gods and that Criseyde, Frimelda and the others were just messengers. "Pardon me, but this place is far from my knowledge. Is this part the Necrohol?" She asked very ignorant about the reality of her situation.

Before the man could answer, she scanned his looks. He wore a very gallant heavy armor filled with very detailed designs, wearying a horned helmet and carrying a unique looking sword. His eyes were filled with sorrow, yet, determination and honor. Agrias haven't seen such looks since the War of the Lions... where she met Delita.

[Warrior of Light]

Warrior was never a hostile being, anyone within Cosmos’ domain was welcome, unless they came for a bad reason, but he could tell this woman was simply out of place, and instead of wandering around aimlessly or posing a threat…she sought the throne and decided to pray. It was a nice gesture, but sadly, there were no gods or goddesses here to pray to. Still, Warrior wasn’t going to walk away and simply ignore the newcomer, if anything he’d learned from Cosmos and his comrades, is that was anyone and everyone was welcome to the light, should they have the hunger for it. Having spoken out loud to gain the attention of the woman, Warrior kept his tone rather flat, somewhat like his normal voice as he took a few steps towards the praying woman, not reaching for his weapon, not clutching at his shield…simply…making his presence known.

Nodding at her words of being grateful, Warrior wasn’t sure whether he could pray to the gods anymore. What had they given him? Aside from Cosmos, he wasn’t sure who there was to pray to anymore. “I suppose your right, they bless us with miracles that we don’t realize…” he started and was stopped, seeing her extended hand. A formal greeting always came with a firm handshake, as if to get to know the person a little better, feeling their handshake. Reaching his own gloved and armored hand out towards hers, he firmly grasped her hand but didn’t squeeze in the slightest, simply a sign of confidence and not backing down from even the newest of people. The words she spoke though, introductions were never his favorite part of a meeting. He had no name to give. That was one of the most disappointing feelings in the world…not having an identity…a name to your face.

“There is no real name I can give you, Lady Agrias, for that I cannot apologize because…it’s nothing I can help. I have…no identity.” He spoke briefly, dropping his hand and letting his gaze move from Agrias and off to the side, towards the watery ground that lay beneath his feet. “My comrades simply call my ‘Warrior’ or for better understanding, The Warrior of Light.” Giving a few moments of silence, letting her look around, Warrior kept his mouth shut, unable to really find more words to say. He wasn’t shy or anything, but he was still a bit frustrated with himself for not having found anything about his memories just yet…it was like finding a piece of hay in a needle stack, rather than the other way around. With this, each move seemed to hurt, and it made wanting to find that hay…his memories, it made it even more unbearable and easier to give up rather than pushing forward like he had promised Cosmos. He couldn’t give up for that very reason, simply because she asked him not to.

Icy blue eyes turned upwards at Agrias’ words again. “I am not familiar with that place. This is…Order’s Sanctuary. I hate to tell you, but you are in a realm only very few people get sent to. The portals appearing in various worlds seem to be causing more trouble than normal.” He shook his head with a small sigh escaping his lips. He was going to help this young woman out, it was the least he could do after everything people had done for him. With a slight smile upon his lips, a more warm and welcoming tone to his voice instead of the monotone stoic voice he had before, he gave Agrias a small nod. “I will help you out of here, it cannot be that difficult, maybe...those gods of yours will bless you with a real miracle, the miracle to get home safely.”

[Agrias Oaks]

The solitude this place embraced, was eased by the presence of the noble knight standing to her side. His voice, his posture and gestures were comforting to the one that felt solo in this world. Agrias could stare at this man and lower her guard without a doubt. This warrior shared her heart and feelings towards the higher deities, meaning, he must be a loyal servant of the gods much like her. He was very welcoming, even though, the holy knight was a stranger to this place. Agrias appreciated his words and nodded in agreement to his initial comment. She relaxed tot he thought that this place was harmless and decided to ease her running heart for the time being.

"No need to, instead, pardon my recklessness." Agrias said in reply to the warrior's words, he however, relied on what his friends are to call him. She took a few steps towards him, to be able too take a deeper look into his eyes and through that door read his soul. Then you are blessed. My name means less than soil... I will rather have non if i could" Agrias then continued in a sadder tone, remembering how her life was utterly slandered by the nobility in Ivalice. Agrias then, trying to move out of topic, proceeded to agree with the name stated by this warrior's friend. "With your permission, I shall call you the same".

After Agrias asked about the Necrohol, there was a deep silence between the two knights. Agrias had no idea about what else to add, more than the words they have already crossed. The warrior then proceeded to answer, stating that he knew nothing of such place, yet, named this as the Order's Sanctuary. A sanctuary that is not a common stop to outsiders, however, he feared that the portals opening across the worlds may be the cause of Agrias visit. He offered to help, and guide Agrias back to her world if she were to trust whatever God she believes in...

Agrias felt her heart ache with those words, she believes in a non-existent God that proved to be the cause of discord instead of salvation. She believed in a shame and a disgrace, she was betrayed by an entity that did nothing more than bring ruin... yet.. she believed in an unknown source of power that lead the way she was walking. That power... might be destiny. "I believe... and I pray, yet the deity I used to serve was as demonic as the Lucavi. I just believe, hoping that a God that really exists is to hear my plea." she said in a saddened tone, even though, she tried to keep her voice normal. "Do you still believe? Who is that, whom you entrust your faith as a God... I ask thee to share that with me" Agrias then asked, in the need to feel that her faith is not in vain and that her words are not going vague with the flow of the wind.

[Warrior of Light]

Already Warrior could tell that this woman was no threat to himself, the sanctuary or anyone else that might come across her. She seemed…almost similar to him. In the way she spoke as well, much like a knight herself. Looking to her, he had not a name to give her, aside from his dubbed title as the Warrior of Light, it wasn’t as simple of a name as say, Agrias, Firion or even others like Cloud…but it was something to call him by for the mean time until he found his lost memories. With a small respectful nod towards the other knight, Warrior gave her his permission to call him by Warrior, just as his comrades did. “That is fine, but…don’t wish for no name at all. Having a name means you have an identity, it makes you your own person. I’ve learned that the hard way, but…I am okay with taking my makeshift name for now…name or not, so long as you have a purpose…you’ll be just fine.”

Words of wisdom…that was at least one thing the Warrior of Light was good at.

With a shake of his head at the name Agrias had mentioned, he had never heard of such a place before, this was obviously the work of a portal, not a summoning of the cycles. Within this realm there were a few familiar worlds known to their respective warriors, but nothing like what she had just spoken of. “Order’s Sanctuary is a safe place though, I can assure you of that…we’ll be able to get you home in no time, Lady Agrias.” He said with a nod and a sincere smile towards the other knight, hoping she’d trust in his words that she’d be safe and get home easily from here. They just really needed to wait around and hope for a miracle by whoever was out there controlling these portals and tossing them to anywhere and everywhere. It probably wouldn’t take long for one to show up, but whether it would lead back to Agrias’ world or not…he couldn’t be too sure about that. The portals were unpredictable, he himself had been dragged into one once upon a time…and there was no telling where they would lead you. It was all in the luck of the draw.

The next words by Agrias had pulled Warrior from his thoughts, putting his attention on her. She wanted to know what god he believed in? Well that was an easy question, he felt another smile pull at the corners of his lips as he looked away from the newcomer for a moment, folding his arms across his chest and taking a few aimless steps away. “The Goddess of Harmony…her name is Cosmos. She actually resides in this Sanctuary most of the time.” He informed, though right now the Goddess was away helping another warrior of light with her problems from Valhalla. Shaking his head some and turning back to Agrias. “If there is someone you need to pray to, to have faith in…it is she. For she never ignores the prayers of others…she’s…one of a kind.” He spoke honestly, putting out the best words he could for her, if there was someone Agrias should pray to, the goddess he held all of his faith in…it was Cosmos.

[Agrias Oaks]

Warrior of Light was very comforting, his words eased the desperate needs of Agrias. He felt pity on the knight's desire to bear no name... it was better to be known as dirt than not being known at all. Agrias nodded to his delightful words and looked down to the smoky flower apologetically. Here eyes filled with sadness as she realized how lucky she was to be at least someone, and the person standing before her had nothing that will make him special or unique. The holy knight then turned to the throne as the Warrior described The Order's Sanctuary.

Such a place was beyond evil, or at least he meant. He also made clear that the holy knight was in the safest place she could ever be. The honorable warrior also declared that Agrias will be turned back home safely... but he didn't know that Agrias focus keeps her from turning back to her own world. "Ser Warrior, my solely wish relies on turning back home. I do not see the morning I will wake surrounded by the old fashioned walls of Lesalia... however, this brand carved on my flesh prevents me of such. That is why I pray to thy God, to be successful in my attempts so safe the world I was born in" Agrias said while feeling miserable with her life just now.

His words of wisdom also brought up the name of the Goddess of Harmony Cosmos, whom she did not knew as for now. Agrias could not feel more grateful that there was someone listening to her prayers, someone giving her hope to continue... someone in whom believe. "I could not be more grateful Ser Warrior, you have given this hopeless knight a chance to believe, for this... I will be forever in debt." After the holy knight expressed her gratefulness to the warrior, she turned to the throne and knelt, expecting to be heard by the Godess of Harmony the knight mentioned.

"Dear Goddess of Harmony, heed my words. Here, Lady Agrias Oaks from Lesalia offers herself as a pawn of your righteous guidance. I hereby declare, that this holy knight will ever serve good to keep the harmonious live you may have granted us. Please my dear goddess, let me wield this sword in thy name... Agrias said declaring her loyalty to Cosmos in front of the Warrior of Light.

[Warrior of Light]

This was a nice woman, Warrior knew that much, and she seemed to be from at time in which he was based as well, and older time versus the more modern day man. She spoke with the bit of words that he did as well, one might call it ‘old fashioned’ but Warrior liked it, it was familiar to him, and though he’d picked up on a lot of the modern terms and behaviors thanks to his comrades, he did like to ease back into those old fashioned ways such as knights and kingdoms…it was just so classical, so nice. Back on topic though, as he gazed towards the blonde, he frowned only slightly, in confusion to her words of course. She wouldn’t be going home? Due to some sort of…brand. Hmm, that sounded downright awful, but he’d at least do what he could to get her to a more…people filled world, to where she could actually live.

Nodding towards her, he continued to be as kind as he had the entire time, trying to understand her words about that brand. “Well, if you cannot return to your world, then I’ll do what I can to at least help you out of Order’s Sanctuary.” That he could do, the portals may have been random, but he could at least ensure that one would show up soon enough. He’d do everything in his power to make sure she got out of here and wasn’t stuck within this incomplete realm. That was another reason why he spoke of Cosmos, not only was she the goddess he prayed to, she was one who always made good on her word as well, and of course did what she could to aid others, those with the light in their hearts were immediately welcome, and that’s why Warrior showed such hospitality towards Agrias as well, he believed the same. Waving a hand briefly, as if to dismiss her thanks, he felt another smile pull at the corners of his lips. “No need to thank me, Lady Agrias, I would have told you about her anyways, she will listen to your prayers, of that I am absolutely sure.” He assured her with another nod.

His voice was then silenced, watching her with curious blue eyes as she went to pray to the throne. Warrior folded his arms across his chest and let her do what she needed, to pledge her loyalty to Cosmos right then and there, it was nice to see…and nice to know that even simply by word of mouth that this woman would pray to Cosmos. He was glad that his words were being trusted, it was always a nice feeling. After her words had ceased, Warrior stepped over and placed a hand on her shoulder, patting her arm slightly before he took a step past her, right next to the throne where he usually stood whenever Cosmos was here and perched on her own seat, this was where he wanted to remain for the most part…by her side at all times. “I’m sure she’s heard your words…give it a little bit of time, and things will work out how you want them to. Though no god or goddess is capable of righting every wrong in one’s life…it doesn’t hurt to have a little bit of aid on your side, does it not?”

[Agrias Oaks]

Agrias could feel the grace of the Goddess falling upon her shoulders, receiving blessings from a pure entity that will not fail her like others in the past did. Standing before her new light of guidance, Agrias smiled upon her luck and spiritual healing. She was overjoyed now that her heart was full of hope to succeed in this mess she was thrown into. Like Warrior of Light said... she found the peace she ever looked for after all these years of torment. Agrias turned back to the warrior who welcomed her in and heed to the words of wisdom he provided.

"I see the truth of your words. My heart could not be happier now that I can feel the caress of Cosmos over my cheek. Now that this knight's hope let her believe once again, I shall take over the mission I forfeited from. Agrias replied to Warrior of Light as her whole resemblance changed from a gloomy one.

The holy knight stood before the Warrior of Light as a portal materialized not so far from their position. Whatever this place might lead was not of her concern, she knew that with the blessings of the goddess she will be able to overcome any obstacle and be successful at the same time. Confident, stronger and determined, Agrias took a few steps closer to the magical door that will allow her to follow her destiny.

"Ser Warrior, Agrias Oaks is forever grateful to you. I know that our paths will cross again, and when that moment comes, I shall be fighting by your side." Agrias told Warrior of Light pointing that due to his kindness he will have an ally until the end of times. "For now, I shall retake the mission I have been tasked for. I ask thee to keep protected the Goddess of Order while I fight under her banner for the sake of light. Farewell...

Agrias walked into the portal formed within the Sanctuary, not knowing what will be on the other side. The holy knight was sucked into the portal as it disappeared to fulfill what she was branded for... by the unknown beings.
