Written in Zoei's journal after the official start of the Rite of Succession.

Flashback to when Zoei joining the adventurer's guild

We made it! We made it across the sea to Tuliyollal!

This is a continuation of the previous nightmare. Please go back and read part 1 if you have not.

"Stop laughing at me!" I yell, throwing a moogle plushie at Nori's face.

The sun dips lower on the horizon, the ship cutting through the water as if it was chasing it. Waves gently rock the boat in a soothing motion that could lull the fussiest of babies to sleep. Zoei is sitting near the bow of the ship trying to read the next chapter in her tome. The swaying is encouraging her to close her eyes and slip into dreams.

The sun peaks over the horizon as I dust the soil off my hands. I had been up all night tending to the lunar blooms and nothing sounds better than curling up in bed for a nap. Slipping into the shop, I place my tools behind the counter. Open on my desk is the growth tracker of the new blooms.

The ship's preparation is underway and now we just wait for the day when we leave the familiar to the unknown. To the west - the faraway continent of Tural. With our new friend Wuk Lamat and my favorite bun-boy Erenville, we are off to Tuliyollal.

Greetings, Eorzeans! I'm Zoei Motokawa, a traveler and owner of the charming flower boutique, Buds & Blooms. I love exploring new places, learning everything I can about all flora & fauna, and getting into mischief with my friends. I am a lover of books and tea. You'll often catch me up either with my nose deep in tome or elbow deep in soil. I aspire to one day write my own epic stories of love & adventure. For now, I'll settle for recording my travels here.
