Chereads / Warriors Of Light [Oneshots] / Chapter 7 - Shards

Chapter 7 - Shards

Camellia had told her fellow scions that she would be taking an extended break, to sort through her memories and the other shards. She had left a list of ghosts to Estinien - the Ghosts who were allowed to pilot her body. One particular one was to be watched carefully and that was Vevera Fae Vera.

Vera had woken the body. Camellia was still sorting through Azem and Edelweiss' memories - thus she was unable to do much but sleep. Vera sighed as she got up from the bed, moving to the bathroom to bathe and dress. They saw how short Camellia was and began to shift the body, A Dunesfolk became a Plainsfolk, eyes turned red, hair shortened and darkened. A quick shower then she began to dress, The butler uniform, the Neo Ishgardian cap and the Purgatory boots. Equipping all the weapons Camellia could wield - just in case the others woke. Finally Vera left Camellia's baldesion room and went to find the Dragoon.

"Accompany me." she demanded to the room full of Scions. The group was confused, as this was no one the had met before "Your Warrior is sorting through their memories thus one of us must pilot the body. Edelweiss had no strength thus it fell to me. Vevera Fae Vera, Formal name Vevera Van Vera. High Legatus of the Garlean Empire, formerly that is. Refer to me as Vevera Fae Vera - as the Crown Prince gifted me the name, he had stated that 'Fae' would put people at ease." Thancred eyed her cautiously "I have not the power to kill anymore, as Fray and Ardbert are watching me very closely. Once again, I need someone to Accompany me."

"If no one else is offering." Estinien spoke "Where are we headed?" Vera looked up at the Elezen and smirked "The Starship. I wish to see it. We had not the technology to make something like that, thus I want to see it. I was the main servant of his Royal Highness once, thus I know my way around magitek blueprints."

-------------------------------------------

In the end, Estinien, G'raha and a fully formed Fray accompanied Vera to Labyrinthos and to the Ark. "So you were dead?" Estinien asked "I was always a ghost, dragoon. Once Camellia accepted the Way of the Dark Knight, I was able to rest. Shard of Azem and all. The rest of the fallen shards cannot form corporeal forms outside of myself and Ardbert - they would need to pilot the body." Vera walked silently with the group, one hand holding the others wrist behind her back. G'raha watched the way she walked in awe, it was very rare to find a former Garlean Legatus that still walked as if they were escorting Royalty. "Vevera if I may-" "Speak." "Is there a specific way you would walk if you were escorting Royalty?" She stopped, staring out at Labyrinthos for a moment.

"Right hand clasping your Left wrist behind your back when walking with other high ranking officals or others of similar strength. Left hand gently grasping your Right hand infront of you at belly button height when accompanying one or more members of the Royal Family. If you are amongst those of lower ranks you may relax a little, however your left hand must be on top of the right." She toned, her voice steady. "The Crown Prince preferred when I walked comfortably with him. Although he is not physically here I suppose I can tell a secret." The group had reached Aporia, taking a quick rest stop on a bench away from the researchers.

"Upon the days following Camellia's return to Etheryis post fighting the Endsinger, her Voidsent had left its contract with her - It cried and wailed as if it was dying before it fell silent. A reaper without a voidsent is a no-no. I reached out and He answered. My Prince never died. He is more voidsent than human, thus he formed a contract with Camellia." Estinien and G'raha paled "Thus she vowed to never use her Scythe, lest she goes insane." Fray's eyes were red as he glared "My Prince will never exist on this planet again as his body cannot stand it. However I can pull him here in voidsent form."
