...
A month ago, Doyle and I made it to Lindblum.
It was quite a long trip, but so far, we've made it to the castle. There, we met Freya and I believe we haven't talked with each other for years. Damn, it's been so long. We knew each other since childhood, it was quite the nostalgic reunion. The gang all-together, me, Freya, Doyle, Dan... Oh, Dan wasn't there. It's a shame. I wish Dan was there with us, not only in spirit. He always wanted to be a soldier, just like his old man, and now that he passed away, it just feels hollow, you know. Like, I can name more dead comrades than living ones. A shame, indeed.
Poor Learie... I can't tell how devastated she is. I had to go to Lindblum for her, and all of the wives that lost their husbands, fathers who lost their sons, sisters whose brothers were slayed, I just had to try, and well, I hoped that Freya would join us in rebuilding our homeland, but she decided to join Zidane's party to search around the world for Kuja. From what I heard, he was responsible for the destruction of Burmecia and other kingdoms.
Doyle was disappointed, he said that a Dragoon's help would be appreciated, though I understood Freya's concerns and we both agreed that we had different missions to accomplish, one thing was no more important than the other. She told us to take care of things until her return. Man, I do really wish Dan was there to hear that too. Not only Dan, but that other guy with the iron tail, the one that was at Cleyra like Dan, but he survived... Fratley, is it? Well, both men were very supportive of Freya back when she trained to be part of the Dragon Knights.
To think a random kid would turn out to be one of the strongest warriors of Gaia... It's something not everyone can accomplish. Something to be proud of, I'd say.
So, as Freya went after that Kuja bastard, me and Doyle and the remaining citizens of Burmecia were willing to rebuild everything from zero, if needed. It's been a few days since that meeting and things are doing mostly fine. The Palace and the more devastated areas of the kingdom were given priority, Freya came back to our aid and despite losing his memories, Fratley is driven by his duty as a Dragoon and is also helping with the reconstruction.
Many of our people are still scattered around the continent, some of them will never come back and I comprehend. Home isn't just where you were born, but the place you are fine to live at. I wish them luck, whenever they are.
