By this time, his father had retired, and instead of struggling to stay in their village, the family moved to Ishgard where his mother's family offered them a place to live.

+ | :: Gil met a Miqo'te woman that became his girlfriend while he was on an errand for Ser Alberic. Though he thought the relationship was doing well, she said she could no longer trust him after the dragon took too much control, and so she left him. Returning to Ishgard to nurse his broken heart, Gil was wandering around Ishgard, working the chocobo stables or visiting the Cathedral. It was in the Cathedral one morning that he met his shei'tani, Ayled. | ||

+ | :: Having spent time with Ayled, Gil quickly came to realize how he loved her, and not for the bond alone. Ayled has a very kind heart that he wishes to protect, though trouble often finds them. While planning their wedding, the ceremony was delayed due to the death of Gil's uncle, and the Lord of the House. Having only recently buried the man, the wedding planning will begin anew, though at a much slower pace as they deal with the negativity surrounding the death of his uncle. | ||

+ | :: Shei'tanitsa bonding is a family trait. The male recognizes the bond when he first sees the female, and it is up to the female to accept and complete the bond. Both members must accept themselves and the other, good and bad, before the bond can be completed. Shei'tanitsa can only form between to equal parties. The bond is rare, and usually happens only once a generation, if that. Although love is not necessarily a part of the bond, it usually is a product of it, and the bond would not be there were love not possible. | ||

+ | |- | ||
+ | | | ||
+ | I lost my journal with everything that occurred. Even though it has only been a week since I was last able to write down my thoughts, it feels like a lifetime. For part of it, my memories are vague and hazy, yet for the rest of it, my memories are crystal clear. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | I was sitting outside the Observatorium when Singing Raptor found me. She was trying to help me, trying to entice me to fight when I had given up, yet she ended up giving the dragon control. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | There is a span of time that I do not remember what happened. Last I remember was running away from Singer to save her from the dragon. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | I do not know how much time elapsed before I realized I was surrounded by Singer, Rhoxi, and Rihxo. The dragon was still greatly in control, so much so that it was taunting Rihxo. Finally, with the help of an aether boost from Singer, I was able to cage the dragon once more, but something was not right; Rihxo was acting oddly. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | It was not long before she contacted me, asking me to meet her in Limsa at the overlook. I went as quickly as I could. Once there, I spotted Singer and Rihxo, and something about Rihxo’s demeanor told me it was not going to be good. I was right, for she told me she could not do ‘us’ anymore, she could not trust me, and she did not love me. I tried fighting it, even Singer tried fighting it, yet in the end, Rihxo’s mind was made up. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Just as I was saying I would let her go, she dashed off. With a detour by her house, which was ransacked, Rihxo darted off to the Shroud, followed by Singer and me. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | There, Rihxo fought Valen, and once everything was over, she went to help him fight those that did to him what they did. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | After everything, I went back home to Ishgard. My family pampered me, denigrated Rihxo, and all in all, did the best they could to make me feel better. I spent my days at the chocobo stables, helping out, or at the Cathedral, crying in the comforting presence of Halone. | ||
+ | <hr> | ||
+ | This morning, I passed my mother and aunt in the kitchen, talking about me once again. I did not feel up to being around a bunch of people, so I went to the Cathedral. I took a moment to pay my respects to Halone before I sat in one of the pews. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | My head was bowed, eyes closed as I cried, and so did not see the woman. I felt a tap on my shoulder. After a question from her, I felt movement as she moved to sit beside me. She asked if I had lost someone, said she knew how that felt, but that I looked tough enough to pull through. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Through my tears, I was able to tell her it was not lost, but left. This stranger did what no one else seemed able to do, she gave me something to focus on…she introduced herself and prompted me for my name. As I gave it, I glanced over at her, yet the moment I saw her, I could not breathe, my heart skipping a beat before racing. In the absolute silence of my mind, those words rang out like a bell, loud and demanding to be stated. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | “Ver reisa ku’chae, kem surah, shei’tani.” Unable to stop myself, I found myself reaching for her hair, the soft brown strands like silk on my skin, tucking it behind her ear. Her skin was as soft as I imagined, the porcelain perfect, maybe more so with the scar. Her blue eyes were both startled and confused, the depths drawing me in and, if only for a moment, banishing the sadness from my soul. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | When she moved away from me, the dragon started whispering, telling me how worthless I am, that I do not deserve Ayled. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | As I translated the words for her, I saw a blush creep upon her cheeks. “Your soul calls out, mine answers beloved.” I tried to explain to her that my feelings had nothing to do with the bond, though the bond would likely heal my broken heart in time. I do no believe I succeeded, my shock making me lose my ability to form coherent thoughts. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Thanks to a barrage of questions, I was able to begin explaining what the bond was, how it worked, and what would happen, good and bad. Feeling her gaze upon me, I let her take what time she needed as I looked upon Halone. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | “She does what she thinks is best,” her words struck a chord within me, yet her next words stunned me. Why would she give me a chance? This question kept circling in my mind, the dragon chiming in and echoing it constantly. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Just to be sure she was real, I caressed her cheek, getting lost in her eyes until she brought me back, the look of pain telling me she was also a product of her past. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | I confessed my biggest shame, that I could not keep the dragon in control, and that it pushed Rihxo away. Rather than run screaming, as I half expected, Ayled said perhaps I should not trust Rihxo if something so simple might drive her away. Afraid she did not understand, I explained that the dragon is always whispering to me, always trying to take control. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Somehow, Ayled still called me strong for being able to handle it as well as I do. No matter how much I tried to tell her she deserves better, she would not listen. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | “Trust me, the only way I can think that you would burden me, is if you kept up with your moody, self-dismissive attitude.” Even now, after everything today, these words echo through my head. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Wanting to learn more about Ayled, my unexpected shei’tani, and wanting to think for a while, I asked what brought her to the cathedral. Knowing she was offering prayers to her brother, I begin to understand just how much he meant to her. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | I told her a little about my family, why we moved to Ishgard, and the ones we lost. Coincidentally, Ayled’s brother was killed protecting her from a Dravanian. I hope someday she will tell me about it, but I know, better than most, just how hard it is to ‘get over’ the loss of a beloved family member. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | I did not mean to make her sad, though she told me it was not my fault. Everything always seems to be my fault, and I always seem to hurt people. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Ayled called me a pushover, pushing me, though something made me think she was not completely serious. I bumped back against her, her laughter enchanting me as I explained how most of the time the dragon is validated. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | We talked about the dragon a while, about how it is always talking, how it uses things I see and think to make it’s claims seem plausible, and how I would just have to prove it wrong. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Our conversation then turned to how I find her beautiful and how my gaze kept coming back to her. Even though she was blushing, she returned the compliment, in a blunt manner. I cannot recall anyone but my mother telling me so plainly, let alone Rihxo. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Finally, we started speaking more of the bond, how there is a price if it goes unfulfilled, but mostly how beautiful the bond can be. This brought to mind my parents, how they love each other. | ||
+ | In the interest of being open with Ayled, I asked her to not hide her true thoughts behind lies, as I have begun to realize that Rihxo did this frequently. I was startled when Ayled placed her hand on my chest, yet I was also very happy. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Upon discovering she had been staying in the Brume for a moon, I knew she needed to stay with my family. I was relieved when she did not refuse me, pleased that she would always be close. | ||
+ | It was approaching lunch time, so I brought Ayled home, introducing her first to my mother, who was momentarily speechless – a state I never though to see – and then my father. Both of them were immediately welcoming of my shei’tani, with no judgment. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Before I could say anything, Mother had Ayled in a hug, and then me as well. I barely had time to react before Mother released us, offering Ayled food. Father too hugged her. I apologized to Ayled; sure their constant physical affection must be making her uncomfortable. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | I thought for sure something must be wrong with me if my shei’tani could bear my parents’ touch but not mine, as she said it was fine, but that earlier she was confused. “You are the source of all pain, even your touch is painful.” | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Apparently, my shei’tani can see right through me. No one else, not even my parents, have known what to do or say so often as Ayled has. This time, she grabbed my hands, asking ME for patience. Maybe the problem has never been me; maybe the problem was that no one cared to truly look at me before. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | My hands wrapped around Ayled’s then, her hands tiny within the warm embrace of my own. Trying to keep my parents from worrying, I kept my tone low as I explained just how loud the dragon was and reiterated that I was broken. For all of half a second was I allowed to believe she might withdraw from me. ”And why shouldn’t she?” I found myself enfolded in her arms, unable to breathe, unable to move, until she whispered, “Then I’ll mend you.” | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | I exhaled in a rush, my arms moving to encircle her. Perhaps this is not so hopeless after all. I simply held my shei’tani, for the first time, closing my eyes as I was wrapped around her, enjoying how she felt in my arms. After I was able to release her, we sat down, enjoying a comfortable meal, good food, and even better company. I was happy, sitting there, watching Ayled eat and talk animatedly to my parents. Once everyone was finished, my mother made a crude innuendo, but as embarrassed as I was, I was glad for the excuse to whisk Ayled away. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Before we left the house, I made sure to grab a coat for each of us, aware that the weather would likely turn cold if we stayed out long. We talked on many subjects while we wandered Ishgard aimlessly. | ||
+ | I do wonder how we never met before, both of us living in Coerthas as we did. I also wonder if I ever met her brother. But I do know Ayled is right, the gods weave as they will, and they only do things at certain times because they see a pattern us mortals cannot see. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Ayled truly is a good person. Even knowing how I feel about Rihxo, Ayled offered to go with me to ensure Rihxo was all right. I explained I did not think I could be around Rihxo, how around her the dragon never ceased pushing, taunting. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | I feel Ayled is also wise. She has me thinking on things I never imagined. Perhaps the dragon is helping me, often unintentionally. It has been very quiet around Ayled, almost too quiet at times, yet it has also saved my life. I should think on this more. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | As Ayled told me a little more about her brother, I admired the man, wishing I could have known him. Ayled’s pain was heart breaking for me, and wishing to make her feel better, I simply held her as we talked. When she pulled away from me, I got lost in her eyes, lost in a warm sunny day. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | In the quick, soft kiss I gave her, I felt that warmth to my soul. ”She will pull away. She doesn’t want you.” And yet, despite what the dragon claimed, even as she blushed bright red, Ayled hid her face, yet she hid by pressing against my chest. No matter what the dragon said, how I imagined she might react, Ayled always seems to do the opposite, always seems to surprise me. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | No matter that we had already spent quite a bit of time together, I found myself unable to keep my gaze from Ayled. She is beautiful and delicate looking; yet I see her beauty goes deep within and she has a strength I do not think she believes she has. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Eventually we paused for a drink at the Forgotten Knight, enjoying being in each other’s company. Though when we continued on our way, there was a commotion up ahead. Seeing a nervous chocobo and boy surrounded by a circle, I spoke up. The circle quickly ran off and I recognized them as the gang of noble teenagers that has been instigating trouble recently. I made sure the boy was all right, but in trying to figure out if I knew him, I upset Ayled. I did not wish to answer untruthfully, or without due consideration, yet I realize now that I should have acknowledged her at least. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | After escorting the boy safely back to the stables, I guided Ayled to a nearby bench. She is so free with her touch, and it warms me, the feel of her caressing my hair, or holding my hand. Even the way we talk to each other is so different to what I am used to, so comforting. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | She truly takes my breath away, my shei’tani. So unexpected is she that one would think I would get used to it, yet I am glad. When her lips found mine, I froze, though the warmth of her in my arms, her body pressed to mine, had me reacting to her, returning her kiss. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | The feelings I had kissing Rihxo, at the time, seemed so passionate, so heat inducing. Yet this kiss with Ayled blew all those feelings away. Still gentle, this kiss both took my breath away and gave it back; it stoked an inferno within me, made me crave more. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Even when the kiss was over, those feelings remained with me, coloring the rest of the evening. As the air grew cool, I assisted Ayled into a coat; placing one on myself though the feelings within kept me plenty warm. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | As darkness deepened, I led Ayled home, offering my room for her use. I hope it makes her comfortable, maybe helps her learn about me. I eased her concerns about where I would sleep, gesturing across the hall to one of the guest rooms. I watched Ayled open the packaged I had arranged when she was otherwise occupied, the joy on her face all the return I needed, the kiss she rewarded me with making it difficult for me to leave her to her sleep, making it impossible for me to sleep. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Yet, as the clock chimes midnight, here I sit, amazed that so much has happened, my eyelids finally getting heavy. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Thank you, Halone. For this, you have my oath for eternity. | ||

+ | | 19th Sun of the Sixth Umbral Moon: | ||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | | ||
+ | I was up early this morning on a search for the perfect gift for Ayled. I should say for someone to assist me in creating the perfect gift for Ayled. After searching for bells, and multiple people later, the gift was complete. As soon as I had it in my possession, I returned home, excited to give it to her. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | I was surprised to find her in my room, reading. It was not until she apologized and handed me the book that I understood. She was reading my missing journal. It seems that Rhoxi, Rihxo’s sweet baby sister, had found it and felt I might like it back. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | I worry that Rhoxi might be hurt, running away as she has, yet I do not blame her either. It appears her sister fooled us both. Wherever you are Rhoxi, know that I will always think of you as the amazing sister I never had, the sister I will always think of fondly. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | I assured Ayled that I was not upset that she read my journal. I was truthfully quite relieved, especially when she was more worried that I am fine with what happened to me. I never would have thought this, but as soon as she asked me, I knew that I truly was fine with everything for it brought me to Ayled. I decided then that it was time to start a new chapter, with my shei’tani, and I symbolized that by placing my old journal on the shelf, never to be written in again. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Asking about her scar, I learned how her parents died. The pain and loneliness she felt made my heart hurt. It was the perfect time to give her the courtship gift I had just gotten. Guiding her hands to the snowball, I advised her to think of someone. The snowball showed an image of the day Ayled and I met, the two of us kissing. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | We lay on my bed for a while, just talking together. When I asked Ayled what she wanted to do for the day, she realized that she had a job to do that was arranged before we met. I started to put my boots back on when I caught a glimpse of creamy white skin, distracting me from my task as Ayled changed her clothes. She is so beautiful, her underwear and brassiere not hiding her muscled frame or her hourglass figure. As the expanse of skin was concealed beneath her clothes again, I was able to breath, to finish putting my boots on. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | As we left the house, I grabbed my lance. It was supposed to be a simple escort job, but you never know what might happen. The Lalafell we met at the Steps of Faith was rude and an idiot, for when the ambush came, he let the chocobos run off. Initially I only saw three bandits, though a fourth ended up running off later. They set off an explosion and an archer started shooting arrows at us. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Ayled did not over-extend herself, nor did she attempt to take on the entire fight on her own. It was very different than fighting alongside Nagi and Rihxo. Her actions set me at ease. I noted the slight aetheric swirl of a protection spell and, with a quick word from me, she put the archer to sleep, disabling him from the fight. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | I took on the two swordsmen as they approached, stepping away from the carriage and Ayled. When the first blow glanced off my arm, I had a sudden image of Ayled being killed by that blade. In that moment, I let the dragon have control. In that same moment, my armor manifested, much as it had when I first received it. It took the dragon a few scarce minutes to kill the two bandits. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | I tried to wrest control back once the threat was negated, but the remnants of Singer’s aetherical boost had worn off. I could do nothing as the dragon taunted Ayled, tried to get her to leave me as he had done with Rihxo. But where he had succeeded with Rihxo, he only seemed to draw Ayled closer. She became angry, yelling at him, saying they better get used to each other as neither one was going anywhere. The dragon and I both saw her hand flying towards my face, and a brief moment before it landed, the dragon released control. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | I did not feel the pain, but rather felt a surge of wary hope. Confirming Ayled meant what she said, it sounded like she was going to say she loved me. My heart stuttered as she confirmed the words I had been wanting to tell her all morning. I was trembling as I released the words I had never thought to say again: “I love you too.” | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | As I went to find the chocobos, I had plenty of time to think. Ever since we started on the road, the dragon had been whispering about how something was not right. And even as he taunted Ayled, I caught a whisper from him, further cementing the idea that he was trying to protect me, to help me out. On that walk, I made a deal with the dragon: I would not ‘cage’ him again, he could have control during battles, but he must relinquish it when the battle concluded. He added that I would not ignore his warnings when he spoke up. With the arrangement in place, we returned to the carriage with the chocobos in tow. For the first time in my memory, I was truly at peace, not waging a war within. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | The rest of the trip to Camp Dragonhead passed without incident. We stopped at the tavern for a drink and conversation. Ayled is very astute, yet I find I can still surprise her. It is an endearing combination. When I kissed her in the tavern with others around, I began to realize I often did not touch Rihxo in public and perhaps her discomfort made me uncomfortable, for I did not have a second thought about holding Ayled or kissing her in view of the tavern’s patrons. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Returning to Ishgard, I was quite happy to remove my armor, exchanging it for my traditional pair of sleep pants. For the first time, I cooked for Ayled, the silence of the house a blessing as my family were attending a ceremony and did not get home until a bell ago. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | I had never heard the term “dreamboat” before, and certainly never thought to hear it in reference to myself. I will not doubt she believes me hot any longer, or that she desires me. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Rihxo and I had always promised “I will not let you lose me.” At the time, I thought it meant the same thing. Now I know that Ayled’s promise to stay means something very different. | ||
+ | <br> | ||

[edit]
Gillandaris vel Jendahr (pronounced gill-ann-DAHR-iss vel jen-DAHR) (17th Sun 3rd Astral Moon (May 17)) is an elezen born in Coerthas Western, where he resided with his family until the Calamity. At that time, he and his parents moved to Ishgard to house with his mother's family, a lesser noble family in the city. After returning to Ishgard, Gil met his shei'tani (see Background for more Info) Ayled Cooke.
