Wandering once more the pink haired woman was still trying to piece things together. All of her memories were like a large jumbled swimming mess within her mind. Attempting to make sense of all of it was what she was focusing on and yet things continued to propel her forward. She had moved all the way toward the nearest town that she had been told where to go. Several weeks has passed since she had emerged from the ocean. Walking along she found herself to the city of Torenstein. This town was a marvel to her eyes and yet it did nothing to stymy the pain inside of her head. It was a low nagging style of pain, but she pushed through the pain and found her way to a small inn. Paying for a room she slipped up there after listening to some of the locals speak of a massive battle that had occurred there some months prior.
Everything she heard told her about several heroes banding together and stopping a beast that called itself Chaos. Something about that caused her pain to intensify and she retired to her room after finishing her meal without talking with the civilians that had seen the events. Sliping from her armor she locked the door on the inn room and laid herself down. There were many things skipping about her head one of them being something that was dug up while she had been sitting there. This was the revelation that one of the fighters was a lot like one of the people she had been seeing when she slept or dreamed. Like her subconscious was attempting to draw back the fragmented memories that she still had buried within her mind.
The nightmare had returned to her and the images of the tall armored man fighting against her and three others inside of an endless void. The three that had stood beside her resonated within her mind. A blonde haired girl, a brown haired man and a violet haired rough woman. All three felt like close allies, maybe even friends to her. Yet she could not remember any of their names nor why it was that they were fighting within this place. Inside of this void she only recalled pain that arched around her body as she was jumping and dodging attacks from the armored being. Sending a few blasts back at him with magical power from her sword and sliding on the ground as she swapped once more and healed the violet haired woman. “Thanks Lenna.” With a start she awakened from a fitful sleep she had been in the midst of. Sitting up in the bed she was inside of she could not help but pant as her mind was calming down from the nightmare. Raising a hand up to her face she rubbed her face gently as she awoke.
Lowering her hand back to her side she gripped the blanket tightly before tossing it aside. Lenna slipped from her bed and walked over to the sink and placed a small bit of water in it from a nearby pitcher. Splashing some water on her face she could not help but feel a little ill. Her mind was trying to unlock things that she could not fully understand. Sighing once more she dried off her face and pulled her clothing and armor back on before heading out of the small inn room. Placing payment upon the front desk and the innkeeper who yawned as she left. “Thanks for the room.” Giving her a little wave of acknowledgement the innkeeper took her money as Lenna headed to the door.
Leaving the inn behind she slung the bag over her shoulder and began her walk out into the slowly rising sunlit morning. Inhaling the fresh morning air she could not hold back the smile that crossed her face. It honestly felt like that this day was going to be something that was brand new and would bring her excitement. Little did she know just what this day was going to bring for her.

Sorry this took so long!
You've got a lot of brass, or mayhap you're just lacking in brains!
It was good that Faris wasn’t the type to need other people because if he was, he’d have gone over the deep end ages ago. It wasn’t just his missing crew (they were long gone, where it was they’d ended up) or even the other warriors of Light back in Tycoon or Bal or wherever it was that Bartz wandered off to. Faris missed them something fierce, but he was the kind of make friends easily, and to keep moving forward rather than looking back. But it was the other names that threw the biggest punches. New names that he’d just started to get used to before they were cruelly ripped away.
Names like Eillien -- that fierce dragoon woman with a sharp wit, a loose tongue, and a spear to make a dark knight jealous. Names like Douken (the dunce) and Aria and of course, that other Warrior who couldn’t tell him his name, but who Faris cared for all the same. These wounds were fresher than the others because they’d come with a new hope rather than old ones. Aye, you can move on from the past. Aye, there’ll be more friends, more adventures, more fights and follies and people to meet.
But none of it lasted. That was the cruelest trick of all.
So as Faris loitered about the town of Torensten, leaned up against some old rubble or another, he was just as alone as he ever was and just as aimless too. He’d spent a while in search of Chaos (pointless) and the Warrior (gone) and he might as well never have left the city for all the good it did him. Maybe he could set up a life here without all the bravado and pretense. Maybe if he left behind the whole sense of “progress,” he’d finally manage something that was even a little worthwhile.
But staying here -- giving up -- that would mean leaving behind his world forever.
Faris closed his eyes. Krile he could stand to lose. She was a smart kid and a damn good fighter at that, but she’d be fine in her castle in Bal whether Faris ever saw her again or not. Bartz was a little more tricky. He could take care of himself, that was for sure, but Faris had grown an odd affection for him that was hard to shake. Still, if their paths never met again, Faris would hardly be surprised. They were both like wanderers on the wind and that was that.
But Lenna…
Faris shook his head before the very thought of her could wrench his heart in two. Lenna, the only family he’d ever known. A kind-hearted woman with a fierce sense of justice and a drive to throw herself into hell and back if it was for the good of Tycoon. He’d left her behind to sail the seas, but that didn’t mean he’d never missed her. He’d wanted to come back. He’d wanted to see her, but the courts of Tycoon made him cringe the same way he did when he heard the word “princess.” He’d been foolish to stay away for so long. If only he’d’ve stopped by more than once in a blue moon. If only he’d stayed away from the rougher seas and kept his sights on what really mattered. If only…
A flash of color caught his eye. Pink. It was the kind of shade that made his heart jump, but he’d been disappointed before. There were always new strangers here with odd senses of style and manners. It wasn’t her. It couldn’t be, and yet…
His eyes lingered on it. That flash of color. And then he a twinge of gold, a short orange dress, a necklace that bobbed with a pendant in glittering red…
His breath stopped in his throat as the woman turned his way. There she was. Without a shadow of a doubt and clear as the open seas. "Lenna."
”Lenna!” he said again, louder now as his tongue returned to him. ”Lenna, is that-?” His mind couldn’t keep up with him. It was like time itself had slowed in the face of something so familiar. His sister.
He was on his feet in a second, running towards her. He grabbed her shoulder and pulled her around to face him head on, and as soon as he saw her like this -- up close and so familiar -- he couldn’t help but laugh. ”It is you! No doubt about it! Lenna! I’ve looked high and low for you! Where have you been?”
A voice rose over the din of the crowd. A simple voice that she swore inside the depths of her mind that she should know but was clouded and covered inside of a deep fog. This fog was deep like those in the earliest mornings far out over the sea. Clouding your sight to the point you could only hope your other senses could make up for it. Yet this voice stirred something deep in her chest and she could not help but feel herself stop her movements.
Turning her gaze around the area she could not help but take in the surroundings as she tried to find the source of the voice she heard call out for her. When her name was spoken once more louder she found her gaze lingering on a man with purple hair. A man that shocked her senses as things began to push in her mind as if trying to make her remember things. She could feel the shock of recognition flash over her features despite inside of her current conscious mind she did not know who this person truly was.
Then the man came running toward her as that look of recognition inside of his eyes and on his face did nothing but make her smile. There was just something about it all. Something that she could not help but feel a connection with. As she was turned to face him fully she could not help but drop her bag that she had had slung over her shoulder. A soft thud landed behind her as it hit the ground and she felt like everything slowed down.
Despite this her eyes would have that slightly vacant/looking past look to them. As if looking into the distance and yet still being in the here and now. “Aye my name is Lenna... and I have only been here but a few days. May I ask who you are and how it is that you know me? As it could help me understand why it was I was half drowned when I managed to arrive on these shores…”
The words she spoke were soft and yet still powerful as she did not try to run nor move away from Faris. Only taking a slight step with her left foot to check were the pack had fallen beside her a she could not help but look over the lines of Faris’s face. “I. do not remember much of what happened before I came upon these shores.”
She could not help but lightly touch her forehead as she felt a slight headache beginning to crop up. Honestly, she hoped this would be a minor one but she was not expecting it to be. As the onset so early inside the day meant she was in for a long days’ worth of torment from it.

FARIS IS NOT OKAY
You've got a lot of brass, or mayhap you're just lacking in brains!
There was something very wrong with Lenna.
It didn’t take Faris more than a second to notice it. There was something off about her usually bright eyes. Something slow that didn’t quite connect the way it always had before. Her smile was dull. Her reflexes, dim. And Faris was already frowning even before Lenna opened her mouth and confirmed everything he was only just starting to fear.
”May I ask who you are and how it is that you know me?” Those words were like a cannonball dropped straight through his gut. Lenna didn’t know him. Her memory was…
”Lenna.” He stared at her more desperately than he’d ever stared at anything in his life. ”You know me. Aye! We traveled the world together! Battled all sorts of beasts and villains! You’re from the shores of Tycoon and so am I! We’re-!” His tongue cut off before the word ”sisters.” He couldn’t take it. His heart couldn’t. He took her hands in his and raised them imploringly.
”You have to remember! If you’ve got amnesia...Aye, that must be what it is! But Galuf...He remembered once he saw the face of Krile! So you have to...When you look at me! Remember!”
Her other words lingered in the back of his mind. Washed ashore. Half-drowned. Alone for days. It was just like with Faris when he’d first found himself alone on the beaches of this city, but at least he’d remembered where he came from. He’d seen countless people since then just like him but without his sailor’s luck. He’d met people with hazy pasts, people who couldn’t recall their own home, and even someone who’d lost his own name. He’d grown used to the chaos of it all, but this was different. This was someone he knew.
This was Lenna.
”It’s me. Faris.” His voice came out quieter than usual. Pleading. ”You know me!”
“I travelled with you? I battled with you against many beasts? I… am from Tycoon?” She spoke softly as all of these words seemingly impacted into her mind. It was almost like a hammer blow into her mind. Brining a hand up to her forehead she quickly rubbed it softly. The short term pain that shot into her mind almost made her fall over. Yet thanks to the hold that Faris had onto her she would not even move very far from his grasp.
Yet the fact he had stopped speaking in a rather abrupt manner made her mind stop and stutter. It was obvious that she was trying to figure something out. All of the wires were moving along rather quickly and yet she could not seemingly place them. As her hands were taken into the harder and coarser hands of Faris she could not but feel that connection with the purple haired man before her. The pain that stuck within her mind made her wince as things began to come back to her. Not just names and places, but things that had happened. Closing her eyes tightly as she heard the pleading words from Faris.
Pulling her hands back she could not but help and place a hand on her head as she fell down onto a single knee. The pain within her mind was making her wish to scream out but instead she did not. As to her it felt as if her mind was on fire. She would remain like this for what felt like hours but was but a few minutes as her mind forced itself to hook up correct connections. “F..Faris?”
The name of her sister and the name of the person before her escaped her lips as the fire in her mind was still present but she opened her eyes and looked directly up at her. Her eyes not quite so distant as if things were slowly coming back to her. Reaching forward at her sister Lenna could not help but place a hand upon her forearm. “You.. are not a dream. You are right here… Faris…”
The words soft and still filled with a mind slowly piecing things together. One moment at a time and it seemed that the most recent of these moments were ones that stuck the tightest to her mind. The hand on Faris’ forearm did not move instead tightened as she moved to stand once more. In a moment of recollection and remembrance she pulled Faris into a tight hug. In a whisper she spoke up so that only the two of them knew what was said. “Sister… It.. it is really you…”

Family reunions. <33
You've got a lot of brass, or mayhap you're just lacking in brains!
Lenna didn’t have much to say. She echoed a few of his words, rubbed at her forehead, and then she fell.
Faris rushed forward in an instant, catching her in his arms and holding her upright by the shoulders. There she was. Pale. Wincing. Eyes squinted in pain, and it was all Faris could do just to stare at her as he kept her at least halfway upright. ”Lenna…” The word came out quietly, more for himself than for her. Then his brain caught up to him and he started spitting out whatever came to mind. ”Hold on! It’ll be alright. I can help! I’ll-!” but he didn’t know what to do. Not for amnesia, not for a fainting spell, not for whatever had taken hold of his sister’s head. So he just winced and set her down slowly in the street, still propped up against him. ”Hold on,” he muttered again. ”I’m here.”
She pushed away from him before he could lay her down, falling to one knee in the process. Faris let her take her distance, but kept his hands out cautiously just in case she lost balance again. His mind raced with questions. What was wrong with her? What had happened? Was she going to be okay? and he didn’t have an answer to a single one. He was used to danger he could fight off with a sword and smirk, but this was something else entirely. This was a sickness that he couldn’t fight and he couldn’t magic away. It made him feel small. Like a child again in the face of a vast, stormy sea. He couldn’t do a damn thing, not even for the person he cared for the most. And her eyes held a current of pain.
There were others now that stopped or stalled to look between them. A few men asked if there was anything they could do, and all Faris could do was shake his head or shoot them with a deadly glare so that they’d both be left alone. He kept a close eye on her, careful not to move too close or too far until she finally spoke her first words.
”F-Faris…?”
His eyes widened. ”Aye! Aye, that’s me. Faris! You remember, don’t you?” Her eyes were unfocused when she looked at him, but there was something there, surely. A spark. Her hand touched at his arm just above the wrist.
”You are not a dream. You are right here. Faris…”
He stared at her before nodding quickly. ”Aye, I’m here. Right here, Lenna.” He placed his hand on top of hers without looking away. ”Whatever happened, I’m here. Not going anywhere. I’m-”
She threw herself forward and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. Faris froze, blinking into the sunlight. Her voice was soft as she whispered, ”Sister. It is really you.”
And it was as though those words broke his spell. Faris let out a ragged breath and brought his hands up around the small of her back. ”Aye,” he said again. His voice trembled with the effort. ”Aye. You remember.” All the fear that had seized his breast like the ocean’s chill left him then in a swell of relief. Lenna wasn’t like Galuf. She wasn’t doomed to wander the world without a clue in the world as to show she was or how she’d got there. Lenna was back from that far shore, and she wouldn’t leave it again. Faris had brought her to her right mind.
Lenna would feel Faris come over in an instant. As she was caught in the moment she felt her mind relax as focus back up. All of this focus had helped her regain the memory that she had forgotten. Sadly there was not much there except a single night. It seemed that inside of this memory was a castle at night. The person in front of her and that was holding her in the moment was standing there within a dress. They spoke about something that was but garbles within her mind. It was just something that she was not fully clear about. Slowly she felt the words clear up. Everything that came back to her was all about the person in front of her. Her sister Faris.
When Faris spoke about that whatever happened would happen and that she would be there for her. It made her internally smile. This feeling was something she hoped for as the person her mind was telling her was her sister stayed close to her. Almost comforting her in the moment. “I will be taking things as slow as I possibly can. I.. I do not remember much all I remember is you Faris. What else I… I cannot.”
She spoke back to Faris. Her words not much over a simple whisper as she talked to her. Pulling back from the hug as her mind continued to process everything that it was telling her about Faris. A few moments continued to process through her mind as things became clearer. “Faris I do not remember much.. I remember us talking in the Castle I believe… Other then that I only remember bits and pieces…”
Glancing down her eyes looked over her hands and over Faris’ clothing as she did such. Her own different look was within her bag and within this thing that the crystal said she had available to her. Taking several breaths she cleared the brambles in her mind. “Faris… do you have somewhere else we.. could talk to try and clear up what I see in fragments? Have you help me fill in what you know?”

Faris is so nervous
You've got a lot of brass, or mayhap you're just lacking in brains!
His relief soured as Lenna continued. She didn’t remember anything else about herself or where she came from. Just him, but that was enough. It was something at least, and in this place, something wasn’t anything to sneeze at. Faris nodded along with her concerns, shielding the sadness from his eyes so she wouldn’t worry for him. Lenna was the kind to put his pain over her own even in a time like this. Faris didn’t want to give her the chance.
She took a few slow breaths, collecting herself, before asking if there was anywhere they could go to talk. Faris glanced at the onlookers passing by. They were too scared to interfere after Faris had told the first few off, but that didn’t stop them all from staring -- the nosy bastards. They were making Lenna self-conscious, and that was enough to stir the storm inside of him like a gale wind.
If he’d been alone, he would have squared his shoulders, straightened his back, and given them all hell for daring to bother his sister. But there were more important things to worry about now. He didn’t have a choice but to swallow back his anger until Lenna was out of harm’s way.
”Aye. I’ve been haunting this kingdom for a year at least. More than that, if the tides can be trusted. I’ll bring you somewhere safe. You’ll be back to your old self before you know it!”
A good attitude. That’s what she needed. Support and confidence! Faris thrust himself to his feet and offered her a hand and a shoulder to lean on if she needed it. Lenna was everything now. Something to hold onto. Someone who wouldn’t leave him. Aye, maybe they’d go adventuring together again! But not now. Now was a time for rest and recovery. And like hell was he going to let anything get in their way.
”I’ve mostly been staying at taverns. But you wouldn’t much like the kinds of places I’ve been, would you? I’ve got a bit of gil saved up from some hunts I’ve done to keep the streets safe. I’ll find something better for you. I know a few places…” In all honesty, he had no idea what kind of room would be up to Lenna’s standards. She was a princess, after all, and a proper one at that. She wasn’t adverse to camping or common inns when the time called for it, but the kind of places that Faris tended to frequent…
He’d need somewhere a tad less...violent.
And he found it though it wasn’t anywhere he’d been before. He mourned the lightness of his coinpurse as he handed the money over, but it was worth it to keep it Lenna happy. He helped her upstairs, to their room (a private one, too, how long had it been since he’d had one of those?), and set her up near the window. Once he finally had her settled, he found that he didn’t quite know what to do with his hands. He threaded them together uneasily.
”That’s that, then,” he said, perching on the edge of a writing desk. ”What should I start with? Tycoon? Our battles together? I can spin a story like a spider spins silk! Or do you need something first?” His fingernails bit into the back of his hand. ”Just say the word.”
Nodding to Faris’ words she could not but help and feel safe within their arms. This was a feeling that despite feeling in the past was brand new to the addled mind she currently carried on her shoulders. Closing her eyes she felt her mind finally beginning to calm down from the sudden surge of memories that pushed their way into her mind. Reopening her eyes she could not help but respond to Faris. “I thank you Faris. For being just as kind as my mind is letting me remember you being….”
Her words like normal as of recent soft and caring yet stern. For her a rock was what was needed almost more than anything else. So for now that rock would be her sibling. Taking the extended hand that had been offered to her. She allowed Faris to help her up to her feet. This was something that she was thankful for once more. Even though she had just gotten up less than a few hours ago she felt exhausted already. This day was just turning into an emotional wreck for her and yet it felt like things would only be getting better in the near future. “I managed to stay at a nicer tavern last night as well… It seemed to be wary of someone as strange as I but I am not to certain as to why they would be that way. Though the bartender last night was grumbling about a man with purple hair who jumped away after not paying for a tab…”
Following him along toward a place that he selected. This was a good thing as she felt so scatterbrained since she arrived. Then along came today and the migraine headache from hell that had exploded within her mind. She saw Faris reach for their pack of coins long before she could and she could not help but let out a light “Thanks Faris.” In response to the kindness. Moving with him to the private room she took the seat that Faris provided her and she could not help but relax a little. Her mind still racing but settled enough to listen.
“Yes Faris.. Could you please just start at the beginning Take it slow and… I do have some coin. So that you do not need to worry about food or anything the rest of the evening…” Speaking softly as she motioned toward her own pack showing the purple silk pack that sat with a very small bit of the cloth. Taking a few breaths as she was readying herself for all of the information that she was about to be getting.

STORY TIME
You've got a lot of brass, or mayhap you're just lacking in brains!
Lenna wanted him to start from the beginning, and that was fine by him. They needed to talk about everything eventually, so why wait? He let out a breath, shaking his head at her suggestion to pay for anything. ”I’ve got a reputation now, and the money to go with it. I’ll handle it myself without a worry from you.” It was a waste of time, he knew, to ask Lenna to ever be selfish, but he needed the time to think. Where was a good place to start? If Lenna truly remembered nothing, then there was only one choice: Tycoon.
”Aye. You’re a queen, Lenna. Of a kingdom called Tycoon. And I'm a princess, if you can believe it. We lost each other when I wasn’t old enough to remember a thing and you were...Well, I wouldn’t know, would I? But you couldn’t have been much better. Our papa took me out on the back of his wind drake when a storm blew in. Knocked me right off the beast and into the sea. He must’ve thought me dead, but I'm a might tougher than that. A ship of pirates found me clutching some driftwood the next sunrise. Didn’t know a thing about who I was.”
Faris glanced at Lenna, rubbing at the back of his neck almost nervously. ”I’m a pirate myself. Aye, and a captain at that! I kept those men in line and could sail around the world and back if I had to! That’s why I wasn’t with you ‘til now. You wanted for us to both rule Tycoon, but I…” Faris bit his tongue. He was rambling again, wasn’t he? ”Nevermind that. I’ll start when we met. I feel like I’m spinning you in circles.”
”You told me that you were looking for the Wind Temple. Our papa had gone out to check on the Wind Shrine and hadn’t come back. You, being the kind of lass you are, couldn’t stay away. So you ran into a few friends -- Bartz and Galuf, do you remember? -- and the lot of you came looking for a way across the sea. That’s when you stumbled into a den of pirates and tried to stowaway on our ship.” Faris glanced at Lenna, cheeks heating with shame as he rubbed his neck again. ”I, ah. Tried to take you for ransom against the kingdom of Tycoon. Which I shouldn’t’ve done! But a princess walking straight onboard a pirate ship? I’d’ve been a fool not to try...And I didn’t know yet that we were sisters! Anyway, once I saw your pendant…” Faris gestured towards the jewel around her neck. ”Well, I knew you were worth keeping in mind. See, I have the same one.” He pointed to gem he’d fashioned into a brooch on his scarf. ”It was the only thing I kept with me after the pirates fished me out of the sea. It was too much to be chance, so I swore I’d go looking into it myself, and we set sail for the Wind Shrine.”
Faris bit his tongue. Now that was an awkward memory, looking back at all of it. But it was one Lenna deserved to be told. He glanced at her again, frowning a little as he let her take it all in. ”That about takes care of the beginnings of it at least. Does that make sense to you, or do I just sound daft?”
