On the Ragnarok, at the edge of the universe, Alisaie watched Mihri die. Even after it all ends well, she has trouble moving on upon their return to Sharlayan.
FFXIV fic, end of Endwalker (6.0). Temporary character death, but content warning for graphic depictions of violence and discussion of suicide. Alisaie & WoL, Y'shtola/WoL, Midgardsormr & WoL.
It goes like this: there is a woman, called “hero” by many, and she dies threefold. Once by hanging, once by burning, once by wounding. That is not the whole of it, of course. But it is a place to begin.
(I liked the full images too)

I just realized that not only did I give my FFXIV character the Proto-Indo-European mythological motif of the threefold death (born without breath, Lahabrea kills her by burning at the Praetorium, Zenos kills her by wounding at Ultima Thule) but also I invented a fictional Keeper of the Moon huntspeak etymology for her name "Mihri" as being "mi" (sea) + "ri" (treasure) and then I just discovered that also Proto-Indo-European for "sea" and "possession" is "mōri" and "rēi." Like this is something that would be normal for me on purpose except I did it completely by accident... reconstructed Proto-Indo-European mythological figure Mihri Ninaka real?

The woman has a name, but let us call her Sea-gift, for that flows better in this tongue.
