Welcome one and all to our beautiful new skin! This marks the visual era of Adventu 4.0, our 4th and by far best design we've had. 3.0 suited our needs for a very long time, but as things are evolving around the site (and all for the better thanks to all of you), it was time for a new, sleek change.

Click the image for a super easy new skin guide for a visual tour!

[attr=class,bulk] Mu confirmed that Monori was from a race called the Miqo'te, but Yuna was caught off guard when he then casually mentioned his own horns and tail. She hadn’t noticed them yet, but maybe that wasn’t too much of a surprise when he was so covered up. “Are the Au Ra connected to dragons by any chance?” Those features sounded a bit draconic to her, but they could have had no relation whatsoever on Mu’s world. Yuna herself was half Al-Bhed, which was strongly looked down upon in Spira. Funny how no one seemed to even notice in Zephon though. Maybe having different colored eyes wasn’t so special when some people were walking around with tails.
Mu confirmed that he wasn’t officially a part of the Dragonblades but that he’d helped out Caius on a few jobs before. Yuna brightened when he specifically mentioned the kraken incident. “Oh, you’re one of the people who killed the kraken! Thank you so much for that by the way. I was in the city too, but I stayed back to heal the injured.” As a white mage, she was usually more help behind the scenes unless she was actively summoning. “A lot more people would be dead if you guys hadn’t gone out there…”
He also confirmed that the wyvern’s rest was doing well, and Yuna smiled at the confirmation as she finished up her chocobar. It was delicious, but she wasn’t sure how many of them she could eat with how rich it was. Probably better to just focus on the cocktail for a while. As Yuna sipped her drink, Mu corrected her assumption that Eorzea was a country. It sounded closer to a continent than anything else, and Yuna nodded to show her understanding. “Got it. You two lived pretty far away from each other then even if you’re from the same world.” Then again, it was the same with her and Kimahri. Besaid was quite the distance from his original home on Mt. Gagazet.
Mu asked Enma what he wanted to do next, and the spirit responded without hesitation. Maybe he’d seen some of the kids playing on the beach, and he wanted to get in on the fun. “Sandcastles it is,” Yuna said with a slight laugh, standing up to return her empty glass to the bar. She had promised Enma the next choice after all. “I can’t promise they’ll be very pretty, but we’ll do our best.”
Yuna made sure to take off her shoes before stepping barefoot into the sand—there was nothing worse than sandy boots after all—before claiming a small, empty patch of beach that she and Mu could both use. After settling in on on her knees, Yuna stared a little blankly at the sand for a moment before admitting something. “You know, I think the only castle I’ve ever seen is where the king lives in Torensten.” Structures in Spira tended to not get very big. They had more a risk of being destroyed by Sin otherwise. “Maybe…I’ll try to make the temple where I lived in Spira instead.” She had mixed feelings about her time in the Church of Yevon now, but she had spent years training at the Besaid Temple. Whatever else had happened later, it was still a place that Yuna had once called home. After a moment of planning, she started to gather a lot of sand together to form the central structure. Now the hard part would be the round archways holding it up.

[attr="class","skullbody"]"The Au Ra actually are not related to dragons," Mu clarified. "Though the misconception is expected. Especially since it was once common in my world. One time the comparison proved fatal for some. At one point those of my race who sought exile to another nation. The problem was that the nation was at war with dragons, so many were killed for having loose similarities to dragons." [break][break] Yuna would thank the ninja for his role in the Kraken slaying. "I'm sure the same could be said in your healing. Your role in the Kraken incident was just as important, if not more so," the shinobi responds. [break][break] Mu would follow Yuna into the sand with the new goal of making sandcastles. The shinobi would sit cross-legged on the sand, while pondering how in the Hells to make a sandcastle. Yuna would tell the ninja that the only castle she's seen was the one inhabited by King Hremit in Torensten. "I believe that castle is the third one that I've laid eyes on," Mu responds. "The other two would be Doma Castle in my homeland and Kugane Castle. The architectural styles of them being much different from the castle in Torensten." [break][break] "How about you try making a sandcastle of Doma Castle, boss? It only makes sense as you helped the Doman Liberation Front flood the place," Enma recommends to the Au Ra. [break][break] "The flooding aside... I suppose that makes sense to make try to make a castle that I am most familiar with, since Yuna will be doing the same with the temple she lived at," the shinobi responds to Enma. "I suppose that all there is to do now is blindly stumble my way into making a terrible excuse for a sandcastle, as I haven't the faintest idea on how to go about making one."
[attr=class,bulk] Mu clarified that the Au Ra actually had no relation to dragons whatsoever, but that it was a common misconception. Yuna pressed a hand to her mouth when she learned that many of his people had been killed for the resemblance. “That’s awful. Especially when it was just a misunderstanding. I’m so sorry to hear that…” People really could be cruel when they were afraid of something.
Once they were seated and getting ready to make sandcastles, Mu explained that there were two castles in his homeworld that he was familiar with. Enma suggested that he try to build Doma Castle, but Yuna had to laugh at the reasoning behind it. “You flooded an entire castle? Now that sounds like a story.” Either way, the ninja agreed that he’d try to model his after Doma Castle since it was the one he was most familiar with. He didn’t seem to have the faintest idea of where to start either though. At least Yuna didn’t have to feel too bad about how shapeless her mound was turning out to be.
“Nothing’s staying up!” She complained with a laugh after trying to add some pillars to her pile of sand and failing miserably. “I feel like I’m doing something wrong.” Sitting back on her hands, Yuna looked over to check on the progress of some kids who were faring much better than the two of them. One of them had a bucket, and as the summoner watched, she noted that the girl was running down to collect some seawater from the ocean before adding in some sand to create some kind of mixture.
“Mu, I think we’re supposed to be using wet sand,” Yuna said with another laugh, scooting closer to the edge of the water so that she could retrieve some of the damp sand that the waves had smoothed down. “I bet it sticks better that way.” With her new materials, the temple definitely progressed a little faster. It was still a misshapen lump, but it was at least resembling a building now, which Yuna considered to be progress. “How’s it coming on your end? I know I definitely have mixed feelings about this place…”

[attr="class","skullbody"]"I shudder to think what could have become of me if my parents had decided to flee from Doma to Ishgard... not that staying made their fate any better in the end," the shinobi responds to Yuna's condolences towards the Au Ra's killing. "Despite not being raised in Au Ra culture, it is horrible to think about," the shinobi shakes his head. "Well allow me not to sink the mood with stories of events I weren't there to experience. We do have sandcastles to build after all." [break][break] "Well, it wouldn't be accurate to say that I flooded the castle," Mu begins to clarify. "It was rather the combine efforts of the Doman Liberation Front that allowed the castle to be flooded. I was actually part of the forces keeping soldiers at bay while the castle was under siege." The shinobi smiles for a moment. "As unorthodox as it was... It was thanks to the castle flooding that we were able to free our nation." [break][break] The Au Ra's progress in crafting a sandcastle was nothing short of ineffective. The combination of inexperience and the struggle of recalling how exactly the massive Doma Castle looked was going to make this a massive undertaking. Though, Mu managed only to create massive blobs of sand. Thankfully, Yuna noticed that using wet sand was much more preferrable to making sandcastles. Mu nodded in acknowledgement, "I see. That would explain our struggles up until this point." The shinobi followed suit in retrieving some wet sand and returned to his futile work. [break][break] Yuna would ask how the shinobi's castle was coming. "Well, it is shaping to be something. A castle is... possible. But Doma Castle is debatable." The shinobi had formed the sand in a circular shape that had resembled the shape of Doma Castle. At least the idea of a castle was present, but it certainly was far from the glory of Doma Castle.
[attr=class,bulk] Mu clarified that he hadn’t experienced the killing of the Au Ra himself, but that it was still horrible to think about it. “Thank you for telling me anyway,” she said when he seemed to want to bring the topic to a close. She thought that she could relate in a small way—Yuna hadn’t been raised knowing anything about Al Bhed culture even though it was part of her heritage. Then so many of her distant family had been slaughtered by the Guado on Bikanel Island. It wasn’t something she really liked to talk about much either. Particularly when the Guado had only been there to find her…
Brushing away those thoughts—they were on a beach after all and she was meant to be relaxing—Yuna listened to Mu’s story about the Doma castle flooding. “This was in a war then?” The summoner knew of the concept of course, but there had actually been nothing like that in Spira in a very long time. The Church of Yevon had such an iron grip on the people. Even if they hadn’t, it was hard to do battle with Sin roaming around. The monster would have killed both sides equally. “I’m glad you all got your country back. What did you do with the flooded castle though?” She supposed that it could have been drained and cleaned out eventually, but that might have taken them years to restore. Still, if it was an important building to his people, then maybe it would have been worth it.
Mu switched over to wet sand too when Yuna noticed how the kids nearby were building their sandcastles. He expressed uncertainty over whether his structure really resembled a castle though, and Yuna glanced at both of their work side by side. Eventually she dissolved into laughter as she pressed one hand to her mouth. “I’m sorry! It’s not yours! It’s both of ours. I don’t think this is quite what Enma had in mind,” she said in between giggles as she looked over to see what the spirit thought of their efforts. “I do think you did a little better than I did. If the Church of Yevon was still around, then my temple here might be considered heresy.” It was a joke of course, but the mound really didn’t look anything like Besaid Temple. She may have been a bit too ambitious when she chose a building that was held up by skinny pillars.
