#FFXIVWrite2026 Day 19's prompt gave me the excuse I've been looking for (I do love ARR but it's SO long...) to move on to Heavensward so I can write a little about Bryony's time in Ishgard before the end of the month! (links below!) #ffxivwrite #ffxiv

"Bryony?" Alphinaud's voice was small. When she looked over at him, she saw a young, frightened boy, not the confident commander of the Crystal Braves. "Do…do you think any of the others were able to escape?"

If they had, they would be hard-pressed to find a safe route out of the city. She thought of Minfilia, wresting her hand from Bryony's grasp and running back towards Y'shtola and Thancred, apparently at Hydaelyn's command. Torn between chasing after Minfilia and obeying the Antecedent's command, she had chosen the latter and regretted it since.

"I'm not sure, Alphinaud," she admitted. His face fell, but she tried to be encouraging. "I hope so—surely the Brass Blades would be no match for the Archons."

Yda and Papalymo had been vastly outnumbered, though—and despite Thancred's assurance they would meet again, the grim set of Y'shtola's jaw as she swore to do "that which was required" to secure their survival did not inspire confidence that they would escape unscathed.
