Disclaimer: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Sixth Astral Era In Ishgard ✥ Lycelle de Monette was born in secrecy, between a highborn mother and a lowborn father. Her father, Durantain, was the one who kept her - easier it is to hide something in the solitude of the Brume, rather than the noble house of her mother’s. Rivanne de Monette, second eldest in their family, made sure to visit and deliver them any items they may need - from warm stews to blankets to shelter them from the cold. Their affair must be kept secret, lest the scandal tarnish their reputations in Ishgardian society. ✥ An attack at The Pillars was orchestrated - somebody has given the heretics a way into the heart of The Holy See, delivering chaos in their wake. Durantain confessed to Rivanne that he was the spy - he believed that their revolution would be the ones who can bring them the future they wanted for their child. Yet she had no praise to give to him: some of the victims of their attack happened to be her friends. In grief, he abandons wife and child both, drinking dragon’s blood in front of their eyes. In the form of an aevis he flew off to join the horde. ✥ Investigations would follow, and Durantain’s connection shall lead the Knights to Lycelle - this is the possibility that Rivanne feared. Durantain history of consuming dragon blood would also convict their child of heresy. In a desperate attempt, Rivanne sneaks her out into Coerthas Central Highlands, in search of someone who could take Lycelle. Hope comes in a Mi’qote Keeper, who volunteers to take the child as her own. Her name is Rhoe Asta, an adventurer. In Mor Dhona ✥ Lycelle grew up in a village in Mor Dhona, surrounded by Rhoe’s fellow friends and adventurers. She knew she was adopted off the bat - after all, she is an Elezen raised by a Mi’qote single mother! However, she does not feel unloved - while Rhoe may leave her from time to time because of business, other adventurers come and entertain her bearing trinkets and tales. Rhoe herself showed her love whenever she could, unafraid to teach her much about the world. It is their influence that inspires Lycelle to become an adventurer herself. ✥ Lycelle was ten years old. She undertook her first journey with Rhoe to Gridania, in order to meet the Asta clan for the first time. Hearing her love for knowledge and stories from her mother, they gave Lycelle a tome recording the events of the Fifth Umbral Era. Her interest sparks in the mention of magic, and from then on she decided to start learning the art. ✥ At around noon, as they had a small picnic just outside the Astas’ abode, a bright light filled the sky and a dragon’s chorus reverberated throughout the land. It cames in the direction of Mor Dhona - Lycelle and Rhoe went home as soon as they could, but it was too late. The village, and their own house, were left in ruins amidst a Garlean battleship’s rubble, and the serpentine dragon that lines in the nearby lake. ✥ Later that day Lycelle experienced a strange vision of falling stars. It is in that night where she begans to experience another vision - one that recurs throughout the rest of her life. She dreamt of flying alongside dragons, and a place far south of Eorzea. She thought of it as nothing but a dream, until she encountered the same experience awake - and in it she sees the memories of Rhoe, accepting her in Ishgard’s Gates of Judgement. Dragon's Blood ✥ Lycelle was thirteen years old. She and Rhoe now live in Camp Revenant’s Toll, but funds were short and this forced Lycelle to accompany her mother in her easier jobs. She has already begun teaching herself thaumaturgy with the help of whatever books she can get her hands on. She also tried to make sense of her visions, but all she managed to figure out is to rule out the known suspects. The dragons in her dream, she concluded, were not those of Dravania. ✥ A request from the Nelhah clan led them to their settlement in The Black Shroud, wherein Rhoe assisted them in a hunt. Lycelle was left in the camp to help out with the more menial tasks. One of those was to strengthen the quality of a load of fire-aspected crystals. It was a simple task, until she realized that she didn’t have enough skill to work on the larger clusters. To enhance her capabilities, she decided to brew a potion of intelligence from a recipe she glanced upon the other day. However, the potion was incorrectly prepared. ✥ The recipe was a potion of Draconic origins, and Lycelle’s concoction used too much dragon blood. Imbued with arcane properties from the potions’ other ingredients, it interacted with the essence in her bloodstream, from both her father and from Ratatoskr. Immediately she transforms into a diresaur - in panic and confusion the dragon blasts fire into the crystals and they explode. Within minutes the location is burned to the ground. Even miles away from Dravania, she would have heard the call of the hoard and she would have joined them - but with the Echo’s protection she has only heard silence. The potion eventually wore off, leaving her back to her natural form. ✥ Everything was in chaos at the hunters’ return. The survivors did not know how the fire come to pass, and out of trauma Lycelle remembers nothing of the incident. Thinking of it a curse, they decided to dismiss Rhoe and Lycelle from their duties, and made them swear never to associate with any members of their clan ever again. To The Calamity ✥ Lycelle was fifteen years old. Rhoe has deemed her able to start travelling on her own, and so she makes her way to Ul’dah in order to learn more about thaumaturgy. As an adventurer she also had the following goals: to explore and discover ancient ruins and relics, to research and increase her understanding in aether and the ways in manipulating it, and to seek out the truth behind her visions. ✥ For three years she spent her time around Thanalan, levelling up to 50 learning more as a thaumaturge and adventurer both. Work was tedious - levequests took up a good portion of her days, just so she could have the gil and other necessities for her lifestyle. A decent room was her residence, and it was quickly filled up with books and objects of interest. ✥ At the same time Lycelle discovered a fatal weakness - despite any study she may make, she is incompatible towards aetherial techniques in relation to recovery and thus cannot learn or use healing spells. She joined the Alchemist’s Guild such that she could make up for this weakness with the ability to create curatives. With the incident at the village years ago still fresh in her mind, she would not dare to create another faulty potion ever again. At eighteen she learned all that her guildmaster can provide, and so she sets of to wander beyond the reaches of the desert. ✥ Lycelle is twenty years old. Her travels came to an abrupt stop as Dalamud begins its descent towards Eorzea. She has heard of the Grand Company’s call to arms, as well as Louisoix’s guiding hope, but she never became part of the adventurers who would try to prevent Meteor from happening. Instead she assisted in Ul’dah, giving assistance to the Flames and providing help to its residents. In days before the soldiers set out for Carteneau Lycelle bids Rhoe to leave Camp Revenant’s Toll and stay with her abode for now, in fear of what may come to pass. They, too, have participated in the pilgrimage and prayed. Seventh Umbral Era Back To The Road ✥ Rhoe stayed with Lycelle for a while upon learning of the destruction of Camp Revenant’s Toll. Yet Mor Dhona will always be her home, and despite it being ruined twice she decided to make a third one as she assisted in the construction of the new Revenant’s Toll. As the city-states began to mend from the destruction of the Calamity, Lycelle ventured forth once again to continue her adventures. ✥ In La Noscea she picked up a new discipline - that of arcanima, and while she did not gain interest towards it as quickly as thaumaturgy, it found its way into Lycelle’s magical repertoire. ✥ (There were also the professions of cooking and of botany, but these were picked up because of her soft spot towards good food.) ✥ Lycelle is twenty five years old. She is now a fairly seasoned adventurer, having done a lot of spelunking, foe-burning, and sending-friends-towards-precarious-situations in her time. Her research turns towards two civilisations - that of Mhach and that of Allag, as both were known to command tremendous and destructive magical power. She makes fast friends with her new thaumaturgy guildmasters, to the extent that she assists them to save their brother from a voidsent possession. Visions haunt her still, and she has lost all leads of discovering the dragons in her dreams.
