So I was re-reading chapter 2 of “The Burden of Rule,” just to remind myself of what I am capable of writing, (I do this when I feel bad about my writing and art), and I just wanted to share an excerpt.

In which Vaan and Larsa are both idealists, and I like making mixed-race OCs:

Larsa
felt a tap on his shoulder bring him out of his trance. Vaan was looking at him
now. “Hey Larsa, you see that woman over there? In the first row, on the left
side of Penelo – the one with the dark hair?”

Larsa’s
eyes searched the front row of dancers and saw a woman with hair far darker
than any Dalmascan he had ever seen. “Yes.”

Vaan
returned his hand to his side. “That’s Madelena – she’s one of Penelo’s
students. She looks different than other Dalmascans, doesn’t she?” Larsa
nodded. “That’s ‘cause her father is from Rozarria.”

Oh. “I see,” Larsa responded.

Vaan
leaned closer towards Larsa’s ear; his voice had a more serious tone to it now. “Imagine
an Ivalice where no one is seen as foreign, or different, because we’re all a
part of each other. No one is seen as worth more or less than the other. Your
bill can take part in creating that future.”

Larsa
smiled – finally someone understood.

Penelo
spun once more, this time with an elegant, red silk veil in her hands, and it
appeared to gently float in the air behind her. She looked so strong, so
graceful, and in a state of absolute bliss.

“Precisely. That is my exact
vision.”
