To those of you who are recently looking into wedding vows, back on Spira, where I am from, I was a maester of Yevon. This means I am authorized to perform marriage ceremonies if either party is in need of a priest of sorts.

Weddings, you say.

[bluecanopener]

Did you perhaps miss all of the notes flying around? It would seem to be a common, or at least steadily growing, occurrence.

[stranglingrose]

I've been on a vacation of sorts. Tell me, who might you be?

[bluecanopener]

How delightful. I am Maester Seymour Guado. What about yourself?

[stranglingrose]

Maester...?

I am Marluxia, and I am nothing more than a humble gardener.

[bluecanopener]

Mmm I believe the term on other worlds is priest.

I see. You must know a great deal about plants.

[stranglingrose]

Priest? Of what order?

I do. Do you, perhaps, require my services?

[bluecanopener]

Yevon. Have you heard of it?

Not as of right now, though I am certain I might at a later date. I am slowly acquainting myself to the area. Perhaps you could explain things to me?

[stranglingrose]

Vaguely.

Which side of me will you need--the florist, the herbalist...

I have been here a long time, so I could indeed explain things. This blighted land is the home of a monster and her twisted offspring, and on it is placed some curse that draws people here and traps them. I am told that once upon a time, it was a thriving city, but have never lived here during those days.

[bluecanopener]

Tell me, my good sir, have you heard of any summoners arriving here?

Pity, really. It looks like a masterpiece of time here. So many pieces to put back together. Dare I ask if the monster still resides here?

Hnn, I may find a task for an herbalist if you are interested.

I have seen a young boy, Sora, perform summonings, though not since he has arrived here.

Yes, the monster still lives here--an attempt was made to destroy her, but it ended in utter disaster.

What sort of task, may I ask?

[[Private to Marluxia//hard to hack]]

[bluecanopener]

Is that so? What was he capable of summoning, a fayth or something I am unfamiliar with?

Disaster? How dreadful. What came to pass, if I may be so bold as to ask.

I have yet to decide, though I am curious as to your level of expertise.

A genie, a fairy, a lion...I don't know what a fayth is, so I cannot help you further.

The monster went on a rampage, destroying our makeshift homes and injuring quite a few of us.

I am quite adept at all matters botanical, although I can't do all I am accustomed to do in this soil--Anthropophages are out of the question; they don't grow here.

A fayth is the spirit of someone once alive, now trapped in a statue. Each fayth is bound to an eternity of speaking with summoners, bonding with them to create aeons, our summoned beasts. An aeon is only as powerful as its fayth.

A rampage? Hn.. I must admit I am intrigued. How sad for those who lost possessions. No one was killed?

Someday in the future, I may indeed find the need to ask you for a botanical favor. For now, I will make note of your abilities.

[stranglingrose]

...And they can be very powerful?

To my knowledge, no.

I am grateful for the note. It is always satisfying for one's work to be recognized.

To give you an idea: Sin is a monster capable of destroying entire cities in one sweep. Only an aeon, a very special one, could destroy Sin and bring about the Calm. Aeons were our only hope of salvation.

I see. The power of such a creature appears to rival that of Sin itself. This sort of thing is common?

I understand. I am as of yet unsure what magic may remain with me from my transition.
