Onwards to Limsa

I made my way to the south of squirrel graveyard hoping they wont be back any time soon. I'm probably wrong, am I not? >.<

It didn't took long until I reached very first camp where adventurers meet, the Bannock camp.
This camp sure was build much larger since last time I was here. There are many more people in here than before and yet they those vicious squirrels still managed to sneak past somehow >.<
Hopefully guards here got just bit careless, otherwise it could get really dangerous >.<

As I continued my way to the south towards the central shroud, I seen small lone guy getting swarmed by raptors.
I quickly grabbed my trusty bow and started picking out raptors on his back, few at the same time. But they just kept coming one after another, just like horde of angry bees.
It took long time skipping around, but we beat every last one of them and our little lalafell didn't fell. But I'm sure it must have been the fate ^.^

After a bit of rest, I continued my long way trough forest until reaching the camp Tranquil.
This camp got quite large, they even have their own food.. umm, chocobo stables here.
When I asked about chocobos, they told me I cannot lend one. Do I looks that hungry? Well, maybe I do after such long travel >.<
But that's fine, I forgot to bring my spices with me and just roasting them without proper seasoning does not taste so good.

But this is not time to be idling around and looking for food. Day is short and Thanalan is just ahead.
Reaching the desert, it is pretty much as I remember.. well sand.
Sand all the way to highbridge, sand all the way to Drybone and more sand all past Black Brush.

Walking trough many camps on the way, its clear that they are got much more lively. All camps are larger, distinct and many more people are around.
It sure got lively around the Eorzea ^.^

As I want past Black Brush, I finally seen the Ul'Dah. I may as well stop by few shops and buy some of exquisite Ul'Dah spices. Silly me forgetting them in Gridania, I can't just have bland dinner on my way back.

Leaving the Ul'Dah with my bags full, I made my way northwest until I seen familiar cave entrance. It was indeed the Sunset gate behind which lies the Vesper Bay.

Making my way to the docks I was stopped by small lalafell next to the dock gate asking me to come back later. Later, when I have enough money, but don't know how much >.<
Do I really look so poor? Or they just don't know how much does it cost?
Looks like I wont be to get any further, even trough I wanted to see Limsa's colorful plains full of flowers after such long time :(
Hopefully I will be able to see it some day again, but looks like it will not be today >.<
Without having much of a choise, I decided on returning back home to Gridania.

Meeting my arch nemesis, once again

Having left Archers guild, I made my way to Gridania's southeast gate with a request from some ladybug hater.. why ladybugs?? why me?? >.<

Just as I was told, I seen a lot of ladybugs just outside of the gate. Having a better look at these cute creatures, I dont see how they can be dangerous to anyone. Sure, they got a bit larger, but that just means they have been eating well, right? Or maybe they just got fat? I'm not one I to judge their eating habits after all.
Maybe I should just catch one and bring it to the ladybug hating guy.

But suddenly, shivers goes down my spine as I heard rustling in nearby bush. And then, I seen it, my vicious arch nemesis! Squirrels! They are back to take revenge!
Quickly pulling the string, I shot every one last of them.
Phew, that was close. If only I remember how I used to set them on fire >.<
Gridania is bit safer once again.

Meeting with new Gridania

Leaving the Adventurers guild, I decided to take a look around Gridania. After all, its been a long time since last time I was here.

Walking past my favorite long lost flower bed looking for directions to the Archers guild, I seen a large Aetherite.
I dont quite remember any aetherites here, but it sure can be handy. This one looks even larger then any aetherite I ever seen before.
Do they grow from the rain I wonder? Or they are fed well?
I better not ask, truth may be quite scary >.<

Trying to leave those scary thoughts behind, I took off to the east. If my mind is not playing tricks on me, thats where Archer guild should be.

As i arrived to the Archers guild, I found the familiar place. Unexpectedly, nothing changed in the guild, quite unlike the rest of the Gridania.
Expect one small thing... nobody seems to remember me... I was asked to join the Archers guild again by familiar face. Is it a dejavu? or is it something else? >.<
Having to apply once again, I was asked to prove myself by hunting down few ladybugs and do some target practice.. umm.. ladybugs?? O.o
Someone here must have developed quite a hate towards those cute thingies :(

First look back

I wandered one more trough the world of Eorzea, remembering all those nice moments in the past ^.^

Its been long, really long time since I walked my way trough Gridania. Even my favorite flower bed has withered. I'm sure Chocobos are there to take a blame! I should have know, they were always staring at it >.<

Things sure have changed, for good, my bag is no longer so messy ^.^
But for bad as well.. someone stole my clothes while I was away >.<
It makes it bit difficult to explore like that, but I hope I will be able to do so soon. I still have much to learn ^.^

It may be bit difficult to start again without any friends from the past, but I still have my trusty journal and maybe, just maybe I will be able to continue writing it. Surprising enough, it already have full 77 pages full of my adventures ^.^
