Thread Recap
Social/Freeform Blood, Wine, and Sweet Moonlight [ Complete ]
When searching for a displacer beast that has been terrorizing a small village in the Crescent Isles, Akari comes across a strange half-yokai named Seiya who has slain the beast with his bare hands just before Akari arrives. Refusing to take a reward that he hasn't earned, Akari and Seiya end up sharing the reward from the village of a safe place to sleep and food for the evening. Limited sleeping options lead to the two of them sharing a bed, and bonding despite Akari's misgivings about forging new connections...
Renown Quests
A bought of bad luck lands Akari in a tight spot as he finds himself the captive of some simple roadside bandits. Though what could have been a very unfortunate situation turns into an unexpected meeting when a dragon named Perrath comes to Akari's aid, and invites him to deal with the Bandits at their source.

Idle Thoughts and ImpressionsCharacter | Description | Bloom | Perrath | A strange man unlike any other Akari has ever met, somehow he has given off the impression of someone who can be relied on. He seems to follow a strange branch of Lunala's religion that Akari has never heard of before, but there is much of the world that Akari has never seen, and he is not one to judge. He'd like to consider Perrath a new ally, if not a friend. | 水仙 | Xalmann | Another strange, lizard-like man. Akari can tell he has some sort of history with Perrath, but he has decided not to ask. Xalmann seems reliable enough, and Akari greatly appreciates the effort Xalmann put into teaching him a new way for them to communicate with each other. | 水仙 | Seiya | Akari does not know what to think of Seiya. It is hard not to be both enthralled and worried by his seemingly endless confidence and bravado. In truth, Seiya puts Akari on edge in a way, because he seems like the kind of person who would be determined enough to peel away the careful boundaries Akari has drawn between himself and the rest of the world... | アマリリス

Notes from the Past
Rie 理恵
Rie was once a feared and respected warrior. Wielding her sword and judgement in both hands, she cut a path through the world all her own. She was a keeper of many secrets in her day, a Knight of Tegrid, a hero, a villain, something in between. To Akari, she was known as mother.
Those who knew of Rie during her time with the Knights were quite surprised to hear of her retiring. In her hey day, she was the kind of woman who would have never put down her sword or her sworn duty for everything. Rie hardly ever spent time at the Grand Keep, preferring to use her time to travel to dangerous and remote shrines of the primordial world, doing all in her power to restore balance in her wake, never stopping to rest.
And then one day she returned to the familiar forests of the Crescent Isle and found something worth setting her sword down for. Two children, abandoned at the edge of a lake, no sign of their parents in sight or where they may have come from. She brought the children to the nearest village, but no one there knew who the children were, or where they may have come from. She could have left them there with the village, they would have been safe and well cared for without her. She had done enough to save them both.
But looking at the two innocent, fragile lives in her arms brought forth a feeling in Rie that she had never experienced. So she set her moon silvered blades aside, and dedicated her life not to her Knighthood, but to her new children.
Rie was not always a kind mother, not even always a good one. She was hard and cold as steel, but she was never without love for Akari and Hizuki, and even when she struggled to learn how to raise children, even when she came close to giving up, she made sure the both of them always knew that.
Rie died fighting for her children, when the inevitable came for them.
Akari misses her to this day.
'She was not good at the things mothers are usually good at. She did not clean well. She did not know how to cook, how to soothe a child's crying, nor did she ever really know how to be gentle. But she did know how to love. She knew how to love fiercely. She died fiercely as well.'
