I haven't seen much actual combat, so I was a little nervous, but I'm happy I could help.
The Minfilias before me battled sin eaters as part of the Eulmoran Army.
But that had all changed by the time I was found. They held me captive so that I wouldn't follow in the others' footsteps.
I'd still be in my cell now had Thancred not spirited me away. When he found me, I knew nothing of the world. I didn't know how to live, let alone fight.
Thancred once told me that if the efforts to summon you failed, it would fall to me to face the Lightwardens.
I realized then that it was the only reason he kept me close─as a contingency. The truth is, he can't stand to be around me.
Because I'm not her. I'm not his Minfilia.
...Once, we journeyed to Nabaath Areng together. To the place where the Oracle appeared and stayed the Flood.
As we drew near, I felt as though...I was fading away... I shut my eyes and covered my ears, and then... And then...
I'm not sure what happened after that.
I have a vague feeling that I said something to him. Only it wasn't me at all. It was her.
Afterwards, Thancred didn't say a word. Only kept to himself and brooded.
There's nothing I can do for him. Nothing I can offer but my presence─though it only reminds him of his loss.
She should be the one to live on. That's why I tried to find you─because I knew that was what she wanted.
But now that you're here...I'm not entirely sure what it was she intended me to do.
Was I meant to tell you something? Or bring you to someone? Or somewhere? I can feel the answer at the edge of my mind, just out of reach─
Ahhh! What...what is that!?
