Screenshots dump. 1.0 pics from November 2012.

Accompanying them with a short story I’ve just written now, as seen on my tumblr entry.

“Twelve have mercy!” Exclaimed a weary Monk upon reaching the mark of the Navigator atop a platform in Limsa Lominsa. Llymlaen is her guardian, and it wasn’t a coincidence that they saved this monument for the last. “I hope we can make it in time.”

Since Louisoix and the other Archons bid them go on a perilous pilgrimage in order to visit all of the stone monuments, each bearing the symbol of the Twelve, adventurers did all in their power and spared no effort in doing so. Praying to the Twelve deities would revitalize the guardians’ strength and may lend the land what it needs in fending off this apocalypse.

“I supposed this is all we could do for now, I wonder how the others fare.” Her Bard friend commented after they have knelt down and paid respect to the guardian’s symbol. The will of each of the adventurers on this pilgrimage will surely strengthen the guardians’ power, but the question is, will it be enough and can they do it fast enough to save the realm?

“I bet they are doing fine. But we better hurry. Dalamud is disturbingly close.” Staring at the Lesser Moon, her fists were clenched tightly. “Let’s report back to Louisoix.”

“I don’t like this,” the Elezen looks into the sky, too. “Aetheric disturbances are so intense the weather went all crazy.” The heavily clouded sky above had been turned into a fiery hue, and they hadn’t seen the sun nor the moon in so long already. It was as if the Dalamud’s presence had dominated the hemisphere above, that everything else seemed to have ceased to exist, all save for the thunder.

He gritted his teeth and turned back to where they ascended from. But as soon as he reached the windowed man-made tunnel, the sight of the Lesser Moon held him in place. He uttered angrily. The Archons and the adventurers went to such great length to try to stop what was called upon them, yet it still kept approaching. Never had he felt so useless and powerless before.

“Hey, are we leaving or what?” He called out to his pilgrimage companion because she was taking too long.

“Sorry, I just received this ring from my guardian, so I went back to pray again and thank her.” In her hand, rested a stone ring that seemed to be made of aquamarine, the symbol of the Navigator carved on the top of its face. He nodded. He already got his from the top of a cliff in Coerthas Central Highland, so he wasn’t surprised.

“Shall we?” He tilted his head into the direction of the exit. She nodded firmly while putting on the ring with an expression as if this ring was the most important amulet in her life. Desperation, hope, determination and resolution mixed together in her eyes not unlike what he had seen in others, or in the mirror. A slight curve appeared on his lips as he gestured to her, “After you.”
