Each Drop – FFXIV: Endwalker [Rain/Thunder 1hr]



A raindrop quietly, silently taps you on the top of your head.

Your steps falter, then stop. Your intense look of determination softens.

A second drop. A third.

The goal ahead of you, full of danger and the unknown, an ultima thule, begins to fade from your thoughts. Around you, people begin to pull up cloaks and tarps for their market stalls.

Another drop. And another.

A memory of friends long passed come to you as you recall their warmth in the Aitiascope. A wise and principled friend burdened with a terrible secret. An affectionate and valiant ally.

Each drop, a memory.

A delightful memory of a kind and loyal knight. A warm and selfless woman of unparalleled passion.

Each drop, a smile.

You close your eyes and bow your head. Not in prayer. Not in solemnity. But in promise. A promise to see it through to the end. To save our star. To remember.

A smile comes to your lips as each drops comes faster and fast. Promises come faster and faster.

Your face lifts to the cloudy sky, peaceful in its reverie. Your lips tremble as you ask the question. Not out of trepidation, but in anticipation. Your voice does not waver; it wonders.

“Is this what you felt, Venat?”
