Guardians

Observation Log of KLO Mimi Lakes: Guardians

Praymonth the 23rd, Year 54 of the Century of the Nymphs, 26th Cycle

I have been confined to the archives.

KLO-sky and KLO-MeiMei are visiting me often, and helping look for information.

I found a dusty section. There are tales from old here. I notice a lot of them are written by Naiads, so that's probably why they are left here without being looked into much. I know what the world says about Nymphs - that we make up stories to suit our mood and that's it. We do change stories to suit us, but we don't change everything! At least, not from story to story. It's kinda funny sometimes what happens to stories. I digress.

There are plenty of stories from Naiads that haven't been changed. Mostly if others found better stories to tell and 'left them on the shelf' so to speak. Like this section here.

I blew off the dust and a bunch of tiny Dust Magi-bugs fluttered in the space. After playing with them for a bit, I looked at the stories. They are from many cycles ago - so I guess that is also why they are in a dusty corner.

Anyways, there are a few stories about 'Guardians', although only one article tells of them using the actual word 'Guardian'. Two stories tell of 'Giants' and one story just tells of the 'massive fish-like fellow'. I also found references to sea monsters, but I'm still not sure whether they are referring to actual sea-monsters or Guardians. I'm now also not sure if the sea monsters I saw are actually maybe Guardians themselves... What if they are just Guardians that lost their associated artifacts?

Artifacts

Every Guardian seems to be related to a certain type of artifact. I didn't see anything on Elves, but I would like to visit the Elven Kingdom's library and see if they talk about a Dragonfish Guardian, as the High Nobility all have artifacts with Draginfish scales. The places we were not allowed, even with the Palace Artitech, might have something to do with this as well.

Water Guardians

Most of what I have seen so far are water type Guardians. Probably because the stories are mostly from Naiads. Though there was one Giant Flower, but that story could be a Guardian, or just a special flower like Hoen's Giant Flower Mellow... Hoen doesn't have an artifact, does she?

Extinction

One distressing thing I found was even an accident. When I collapsed behind a shelf, puddling into water form cause I was so hungry, and its probably time to see AB. I found a coded sheet of paper.

And it said that the last Guardian had been defeated.

KLO-sky: How did she know the code?
KLO-MeiMei: Mimi said it had been decoded already. Someone else wrote on it. The ink seemed recent though
KLO-sky: Maye another department has been here?
KLO-MeiMei: No one else has access to those section of the archives.
KLO-sky: Could it have been team 5?
KLO-MeiMei: Why are they always so scary.

Mimi: What is there to know of Guardians? Why did I find a Depths code about killing the last Guardian and putting artifacts to rest?
Lecturer: I think you should come home soon. If it is what I think it is, there may be too much for you to handle alone.
Mimi: I don't think I have a choice anymore.
Lecturer: No, with what happened to you and Almeta Bearach you may not have a choice anymore.
