Being hoisted off her feet might not be among the most dignified welcomes she'd received, but... Y'shtola had to admit, it felt good to be so appreciated.

WHOOOO LET'S POST SOME TRANSFORMATIVE WORKS
IT'S TIME FOR A BEYOND THE HORIZON UPDATE :D
I've been struggling with these chapters for MONTHS, but oh my god they're finally done. This one includes: a scene with Ardbert, a scene with Y'shtola and Alphinaud and Alisaie, dreams, recovered memories, hero performance anxiety, a really long shower scene, scar talk, breakfast, and Emet-Selch being a bit of a bastard.
If you can spot the Bette Davis quote, you get a prize!
Massive thank-yous to @mercurialmalcontent and @edoro for quality edits.

I personally think Y'shtola deserves some more credit for how she advocates for the Warrior of Light during Shadowbringers. Without knowing the whole story I've always felt she had every right to be uneasy with the Exarch, and to be honest I was expecting a pricklier welcome from her in Rak'tika... but as soon as she realizes who it is, her greeting for the WoL is incredibly warm. I love that her first question is "How are you?" She cares about them! And when her aethersight gives her reason to believe the WoL is in danger, she's concerned! She thinks they need to be told! And when Urianger won't agree to tell them, she does it herself, because she thinks it's the right thing to do. She treats the Warrior of Light like a person who deserves to know what they're getting into and make an informed decision, and it's such a far cry from the "You'll do it because you're the Warrior of Light!" attitudes of everyone in ARR.
And I think it's also worth noting that in the end, after she knows the whole truth, she doesn't seem to hold any of it against G'raha. When you're back in the Source, she's talking about whether he should be given the title of Nunh after his long tenure as the Crystal Exarch, and after he joins the Scions, she seems cool with him, so I genuinely have no reason to think she holds a grudge about any of it.
She was, ultimately, concerned and wanted to do the right thing, and she cares about the Warrior of Light and their wellbeing, and I think that's an important thing about her.

My entry for the FanFest EU 2023 art contest! I had the idea somewhere in my mind ever since I finished Endwalker... wanted to show the winding journey through the Aitiascope dungeon
I made it as a finalist, which I'm still so blown away and happy about...
