Sequel to "Of Grimoires and Gria". Three members of Clan Excelsior get sent on a dispatch mission to Goug, where they stumble upon a brewing threat to all of Ivalice-and the narrator must contend with her decision to stay in this world rather than return to Earth. Oh, and pirates happen.

In the smoldering ruins of the Jedi Temple after Order 66, two mourning souls find hope in each other.
