He was widely respected as one of House Montessier's most martial warriors and the old man was too prideful to ever back down from a duel. Lord Gauthier and Ser Fluerent have long been bitter rivals but everything was secondary, however, to the fact Ser Renaud, the noble Fluerent had originally maimed, was Gauthier's only son. The two sworn enemies were taken into the tribunal where Fluerent would prove his innocence, in the eyes of gods and men and before a judging panel of adjudicators. Lord Gauthier angrily drew his longsword, his wrath made evident by his grey furrowed eyebrows and a deathly glare. "Come then, churl!" Fluent beckoned, slowly drawing his intricate blade as well. Lord Gauthier fervently charged at his nemesis with all the might and vigor of a man half his age. Fluerent successfully parried the first flurry of blows before striking back in retaliation. Fluerent began to gain the upper hand, almost managing to end the fight early with a decisive strike but the lord caught his sword in a bind. "Damnable, despicable swine!" Gauthier scorned as their blades locked. Both parties briefly vied for the positional advantage but before Fluerent could react in time, Gauthier seized the moment to move in close and punch Fluerent with unnatural force, immediately sending him crashing down to ground. Fluerent fell hard on the wooden floor causing him to groan as his spine surging with pain. Gauthier laughed as he kicked Fluerent's fallen sword aside. "Should I kill you here or finally watch you suffer your '''''just''''' sentence?" He mocked. "...God spits on your "justice", Gauthier! Only the fury will decide my fate this day!" Fluerent exclaimed, standing back up to his feet and changing his stance. Gauthier would suffer this insolence no longer. He assaulted the seemingly defenseless knight, bringing about the full weight of his sword down to bear. Fluerent deflected the strike with his bare gauntlets, revealing the extent of the protection his armor provided him, momentarily stunning the lord. Flaurent's retribution was now at hand as he pummeled Gauthier with a shoulder strike and beat him into submission, brutally reminding the overconfident lord that armor itself can be used as a sufficient weapon against mortal men. Gauthier's own sword was ripped from his grasp and held at his neck to force a humiliating surrender in front of his own supporters. Fluerent finally concluded his storytelling with the high adjudicator clearing his name, allowing him to return to Gisoreux and eventually send for Lana and her mother's arrival. Her starry eyes were lit with inspiration as she listened to him finish the story. |

History The story of Lana Mian's life humbly begins within an isolated tribe of Miqo'te struggling to make a living on the edge of the Shroud. Although she may be the central character, to consider this story Lana's alone would be a folly. This tale will instead be a shared narrative of Lana and the individuals who greatly influence her. As a little child, Lana would never see much of her biological father who had adopted the traditional life of a wanderer despite the tribe's societal progression. Lana's mother, Kira Mian, was the tribe's foremost medical expert, blessed by the elements with restorative magics. When the 7th Umbral Calamity inevitably brought Eorzea to her knees, the tribe was ravaged by the destructive flames that erupted across the lands. Many of the members were outright killed and their establishment was all but ruined. Before any harm could come to Lana, Kira grabbed the child by the arm and the two quickly fled the forest, narrowly escaping the chaos.
The duo would flee into the scorching sands of the Sultanate, undertaking a long and arduous journey through Eastern Thanalan with the intent to become another pair of hopeless refugees begging for Ul'dahn care. Kira and Lana followed the barren desert road for what had felt like ages until suddenly, a band of vicious Amalj'aa raiders emerged in ambush. Kira's desperate pleas for help seemingly fell on empty ears as the towering beast-men slowly approached. Moments before their large, sweaty reptilian hands could snatch the helpless Miqo'te, the savages were interrupted by the timely arrival of a mysterious figure and a fierce battle ensued. As the individual leapt off their chocobo and into the air, a beautiful intricate sword glimmered in the sky before being violently brought down on an unsuspecting raider. The blade sundered the first beast-man's skull and immediately struck fear into the others as they soon witnessed their brother's body slump to the sands and the first of today's blood drip from the man's sword. The Amalj'aa furiously attacked what appeared to be a knight, swinging and lunging with long bladed weapons while preparing to fire enormous arrows from afar. In a great display of martial ability, the knight successfully defended himself against the incoming onslaught. He seized any openings for counter attack, hacking the heads off their weapons and plunging fatal blows when possible. A young Lana watched in awe as the knight slew foe after foe until the rest decided to route. Although the violence was as appalling to her as one might expect to a child of her age, the valor she saw today would inspire the lass for years to come. When the conflict was over, Kira sincerely thanked the brave knight and politely wished to learn of her protector's name. The knight removed his helmet and introduced himself to be an Ishgardian adventurer of the name Ser Fluerent de Vayssière. When he finished greeting the troubled maiden, Fluerent violently grunted in pain, placing his hand on his waist and revealing a strange injury. Kira was puzzled at first, seeing how the heavily armored Elezen was seemingly untouchable mere moments ago, but upon further inspection she could see the burnt scars and scratches on his armor and the weariness written on his face.
Life without Fluerent regularly stopping by was difficult financially but also made things very boring for Kira and Lana. Although the younger Miqo'te really wanted friends, she never found many opportunities to make ones her age. Kira continued providing her services as a local healer but things were never the same. As the seasons passed at the settlement, Lana resorted to scavenging for lost items and dusty books to help pass the time while Kira fell into a lonely depression. Many months later during an especially dry afternoon, a caravan arrived at the town and three men were soon knocking on Kira's front door. The foreign trio consisted of an Elezen carriage driver, an Elezen Knight, and a smaller Hyur knight, all claiming to be servants of Ser Fluerent from Ishgard. She naively jumped in excitement and told the good news to Lana. After packing the few belongings they possessed, the two were loaded in the back of the wagon and they were ported to the icy lands of the Holy See.
Despite the severity of the temperature, Lana couldn't help but appreciate the wondrous winter scenery of the snow covered landscape as she was unloaded from the carriage. The Miqo'te were overjoyed to finally arrive at Fluerent's manor. Kira desperately rushed to hug Fluerent the moment he stepped outside but before she could latch onto him, he turned his back. "Come servants, I will see you to your new station and living quarters. As for you three, you are hereby dismissed, the gil will be sent soon as promised." He said strictly before proceeding to head inside. Kira and Lana were bewildered but they quickly realized the reason behind this. The manor was beautiful inside, with lavish furniture and elegant paintings. More importantly, it was also very warm and Lana could feel the life returning to her body. Fluerent took the pair upstairs and breathed a sigh of relief to see his beloved and Lana safe and sound. He explained that in order to live together, they must become his personal retainers and keep the extent of their affiliation a secret at all cost. Kira and Lana gulped and accepted their new lives as maidservants, happy to be with Fluerent once again but scared of the political intrigue that would come with it.
