Eternally Bonded

The Twelve taught me what it meant to be an Eorzean.

Halone struck down my foes, that her fury might show through mine blade. Menphina blessed me with compassion, that others may see her love through me. Thaliak graced me with his wisdom, that I may know the word to say and the knowledge to seek. Nymeia weaved my destiny, that my story might not end before it is over. Llymlaen and Oschon protected me in my adventures, that my load be light and the wind at my back. Byregot guided my hands, that I may create in his honor. Rhalgr tested me, that I may know discipline in times of destruction. Azeyma lit my path, that I may know truth. Nald’thal gave me life, that I may know peace in death. Nophica kept my health, that I may reap a bountiful life. Althyk filled my hourglass, that I may know the past to understand my future.

But it was not until that day, in the Sanctum of the Twelve, that I truly learned. Flanked by a motley crew of adventurer companions and softly serenaded by the kupos of Moogles, we were bonded. Amidst cheers and congratulations, I finally knew…

By Halone’s shield, I now knew the extent I would go to protect you. By Menphina’s love, I now knew the depths of my heart for you. By Thaliak’s wisdom, I now knew what it meant to know another. By Nymeia’s thread, I now knew what it meant for fates to intertwine. By Llymlaen and Oschon’s travels, I now knew what it meant to be home. By Byregot’s hammer, I now knew what it meant to build a family. By Rhalgr’s trials, I now knew we could survive anything. By Azeyma’s light, I now knew that our lives would forever be filled with light. By Nald’thal’s balance, I no longer feared death. By Nophica’s scythe, I now knew life itself. By Althyk’s hourglass, I now knew to cherish every last grain of sand.

Through the Twelve, I learned what it meant to be. Through you, I learned what it meant to be whole.
