  Unknown how much time had pased or when exactly this happened

  It is dark here. The slumber I was brought into seems to be eternal. How much time had passed already since the fall of dalamut and the awaking of Bahamut? What happened to the world, to the people, to my friends, to myself? I don't know and I don't seem to care. The calm rest I'm in has paralyzed me.
  I am alone. It is silent. No sound can be heard, no wind blows. There doesn't seem to be air here in first place. No breathing can be heard. How do I even survive without breathing? I don't actually care. I don't feel my heart beating. Am I even still alive anymore? I don't care.

  I just know what happened before this. I know that I want to do something to stop the evil. And I know that I still exist somehow.

  ...
  "Hear"
  

  Suddenly I hear a voice in my head. A clear voice that tells me to hear and I could hear her! It's a voice of a woman. Clear and strong it appears to me but somehow still so far away.

  "Feel"

  The voice is closer this time. I start to feel my body again. After all that time I can feel my body again! It is a different feeling than I remembered it to be but I feel I'm alive again.
  I open my eyes. It's like I opened them the first time in my life. I somehow don't feel used to these eyes. I look down on me. A faint light underneath me illuminates my body slightly and I can make out that I am wearing cloths. As soon as I see them I realize I can also feel them. Feel how they ret on my shoulders. They're covering my body and prevent the warmth of to fade away. My body that somehow feels warmer than the last time.
  I look at my hands. They're similar in size and form to the ones I am used to but they certainly are different. The skin color is a bit darker and I miss some scars I had.
  However they somehow feel familiar too. Something in my mind tells me that these are in fact my hands and makes me accept them as mine.
  Then I notice my hair that hangs into my field of view. It may could be from the light below me.. no I am sure, the color of my hair is different. I lift my hands to my head and try to pull the hair a bit better into position so I can see it better. The few strands I see are all blue, except one that is completely white! And also they don't seem to curl anymore as they used to, they're totally straight. But that certainly is my hair. It looks different and feels different but something makes me feel like it was there like that all the time already.

  "Think"

  The voice is crystal clear now. I shall think? Okay! I look around. The only thing I see is that feint light below me. I think, that's where I am supposed to go to.
  I can feel like my body slowly descends down to that light. I slow down when I get closer and my feet can touch an invisible ground. I step on it and ripples appear around my feet like when you throw a stone into a water pond.
  I look at the light that hangs in front of me. It's a small round glowing ball. The light shines warm and bright and looks inviting to touch it.

  As I just am about to reach out and grab the light, it turns dark and a cloud of black and purple flames comes out of it! The cloud grows and inside that black hole a mask appears. Behind that mask is a face hidden. Only the chin sticks out below it and I can see that the man is screaming at me however I don’t hear him. The hole is now big enough that his shoulders are visible too and he sticks out a hand towards me. He tries to grab me. A red mark appears on his mask. I know I am in danger and I remember seeing his figure already, seeing this sign already. I saw it when Bahamut woke up from its prison.

  Another light appears below me. No wait that it just its shine. The light is.. Me?! I start to glow myself and a power I never felt before overwhelms me. The light is too bright to see what exactly happens but I feel that the cloths on my body change. I suddenly wear a hat, a big one that covers one of my eyes. The light clothes I wore just a moment ago are heavily hanging down now. As I move a bit I see they’re pretty dark and made of leather. In my hands I grab tight on a scepter now.
  I suddenly know that I should use.. magic. The power and the light gather in my hands and take over the scepter that will help me to materialize it. I look at the dark figure in front of me who still tries to reach out for me, silently screaming.
  I spread my arms and recite the spell I seem to know for ages. The spell that conjures a meteor from above and I let it crash down.

• A Realm Reborn

  Roughly five years ago

  Many times already I recalled that what happened since the time I woke up from the slumber. I cannot really say if this just played in my head or if that really happened. I know that when I woke up in this world, I found myself at the east side of Thanalan laying in the shadows underneath a big tree.
  Well, it took me some time to figure out where exactly I was because the terrain did look familiar but many things also changed drastically. This however could only be that one place where the forest of the Black Shroud ended and the desert of Thanalan just started. Said desert now looks a bit greener and less desertic. There even are waterholes and small streams and huge orange coral-shaped rock-formation shines forth over the land.

  My appearance had changed to the one I had on that dream. I really did look different now than I used to. I still doubt someone of my old friends will recognize me. Luckily I am still a Lalafell and not ended up as a Roegadyn. But as I saw in the reflection of my face inside a small pond, I can no longer be considered as citizen from the Plainsfolk but do belong to the Dunesfolk now. My pupils are gone and my ears did shrink drastically. So I guess I am. That probably also explains why my body does feel a lot warmer now as it is made to sustain that heat here a lot better.
  I was surprised when I did see my face the first time. I never knew how someone of the Dunesfolk could actually see without pupils and how they could hear with so small ears. I know now, they can see. Well we can see.. And the ears might be smaller but due to that I can hear better what happens behind me than I could before. However of course what happens in front of me became a bit muted. I will get used to that and already am pretty much.
  In case of clothing I was wearing the ones I had at the beginning of the dream. A white short-sleeve shirt covered with a leather vest that had all kind of detailed buttons on it. I wore a quite thick belt with a big pouch in which I could surely stuff a lot of things into. Inside I also already found something to eat and a little bit of money. On my wrists I wore dark leathery wrist-guards. My pants and shoes were also made of dark leather and fitted perfectly.
  Next to me I had found the scepter of which dream too. I thought I was used to scepters already being a decent conjurer and white mage. But I could not recall any of these spells.. My mind was kind of blank in that way. Also my normally quite decent knowledge of hand to hand combat seemed to be gone. Same goes for the ability to teleport. I could feel the aetheryte-network but it somehow did not accept me. Maybe I was away for too long? Or my new body probably was not yet attuned with it?

  As confusing as all of that was, I never was worried about it. I was back in the beautiful world Hydaelyn and that was all that mattered at first place. I was sure, the whole issue would clarify itself sooner or later.

  All in all it took me a few days to get used to normal movement with my new self, finding out where I and where the next village or camp was. I found it a bit to the west - Camp Drybone. It looked different too from what I remembered. If was now located in a deep hole, quite well hidden from the hot sun. No one payed attention to me when I walked through the camp. Actually I was quite happy about not being specially noticed.
  I looked out for the chocobo stables and found them on a higher stage in the hole. With the little money I had I booked a trip on a chocobo carriage to Ul'dah. An older hume man and two young similar looking elezen with big books joined the ride.

  The two elezen did sleep or at least seemed to be sleeping nearly the whole time of the ride. The older hume however was quite talkative. He asked me if I was also one of these new adventurers that appeared everywhere lately. So I was probably not the only one that was put into slumber and now woke up of it again! He asked me what I wanted in Ul'dah but I of course couldn't tell him that I was looking for answers. Our conversation took a sudden break when a group of Amalj'aa appeared! Apparently they were fighting against soldiers of Ul'dah already and driven our way. The chocobo carriage speeded up and we lost sight of the battle. The hume forgot about his last question and instead told me a bit of the things that were going on in Ul'dah lately. That the city is nearly back in its old glory it had five years ago before the fall of dalamut. So five years had passed? I was kinda happy to get some updates of the current situation. But nothing actually could answer my questions completely and only threw up new ones. At last we arrived in Ul'dah and said farewell to each other.

  Here I was now, my new home I guess. Will I be able to find answers here? I don't know.
  A few more things happened since I arrived here and I'll tell you about them too, later. For now I guess it's more than enough. I'm back in this world and happy to be. Hopefully I will find some of my old friends again but they surely also look different now. Maybe one of my Lalafell friends really did become a Roegadyn?!
  In case you read this my friends, I'm back too! You'll find me around Ul'dah, just keep shouting!

  We're back - the realm is reborn
