How long had it been now? Rydia just couldn’t get those hazy images out of her head. She saw them more and more, and constantly had nightmares involving that fal’cie who’d spilled the beans to her. It wasn’t going to well this past few weeks or so. Many nights she’d just lay around and try to get herself to sleep without any trouble, and on some rare occasion she’d be successful, but the stress and horrors of this brand was starting to haunt her a lot lately. Her brand had been progressing, she’d seen arrows start to form and then a red looking eye was opening in the center. It had to be near it’s ending point, and though she was happy that Cecil and Kain got to be free from her fate, she was still disappointed that there had been no loophole to find. Though there wasn’t any idea as to where to search as of lately, there was no getting back to Spira, and the summoner practically forbade letting others go to look, it was her burden to bear, no one elses…except…she’d kind of put it on Edge’s shoulders as well.
At least she’d had a good time staying here in Eblan for awhile. Rydia knew the restoration of Mist would take some time, and even without her they’d get there sometime, no one threw a fit for her absence, and besides, it was nice to get to see a familiar face that you trusted on a day to day basis. Not all days were bad though, that was the real saddening part, she didn’t want those days to end. With this weight weighing down on her shoulders with each passing day, she did what she could to stay optimistic, and it seemed to be working until lately, which Rydia took as a sign. She’d become quieter over the past week or so, watching her brand progress…it was about as exciting as watching grass grow, but over time she could definitely see the changes, she could see her time ticking away and it wasn’t looking to be too far off now.
If it was going to be anytime now…how was she supposed to know exactly when this monstrous act would take place? Shaking her head slightly as she fiddled with her sleeves a bit, the summoner took a few steps around in one of the various hallways that the castle in Eblan had to offer. She was constantly thinking. Where would she want to be when all of this happened? Mist was a nice option, and she wanted to keep away from Rosa and Cecil, she’d kept them in the dark all this time, there was no need to guilt them with the reason of her disappearance, as it would be. Rydia didn’t want to stick around Eblan either, Mist just seemed like the best place to go during this sort of event. It’s where she grew up – for the most part – and where her mother had passed. She’d love to see the progress people had made…but going alone wouldn’t be wise either. The only options she really had were to stay here, or drag Edge along for a trip to Mist. Could he even step away from Eblan for a few days? She hadn’t been keeping up with everything going on, she had worries of her own.
With a deep sigh, Rydia finally chose which way down the hall she wanted to go. If it were possible, she’d request to leave for Mist as soon as possible, if Edge couldn’t come along…then…she’d simply travel alone. No matter what it took, she was getting back to her place of origin, even if it was for a lousy five minutes. She’d give anything for that five minutes, anything to clear her head. Putting on a halfhearted smile, just thinking about home brought that slight happiness to her, all she needed to do was put on her best puppy eyes and see what became of all of this. Rounding a corner, she stopped for a second, having spotted just the man she as looking for. Before starting off in a quick stride to get to him quickly, Rydia took a deep breath and put on a carefree expression. “Hey Edge? Mind if I ask you a question?” she said from behind before trotting slowly the last few little steps it took to get to him. “What would your thoughts be about…taking a small unexpected trip to Mist?”
