Healing

Dawn did as she was bid, the same as so many times before. How many times was it this week and the last that he had her draw aether from this meditation stone? Regardless, she was happy to oblige. She felt more invigorated, more lively- more whole as she did so. Whatever regimen he had working for her rehabilitation, it was working.

“... Alright…” a dry voice sounded. “Keep at it. Remember, don’t stop until you can’t draw any further, then keep going anyway. When you feel you can’t go any further, put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward.”

A cacophony of thoughts rang in her head as she desperately tried to sort through them. Every time she drew from this stone she felt flooded with emotions she was a stranger to. In addition to that, she had wondered long and hard where Hadriel had obtained this ‘meditation’ stone. There’s no way a random stone was full of aether but at the same time, it felt as if her very own life essence was being restored. She wasn’t going to complain about that. But then… if this was a product of her rehabilitation, is it because he knew about her condition?

“You’re distracted.” his gruff judgement sounded. “Focus, stop thinking about irrelevant things and draw.”

She intensified her efforts but her mind couldn’t help but wander. Her interaction with Halia the night before was proof enough that she felt a change in her veins. She was always wanting to help others yet slowly she felt that interest wane as she was overcome by more selfish and base desires. Why shouldn’t she look out for herself? Why shouldn’t she focus on what’s right for her? Who cares what others feel? Everything she had experienced since her injury only lent credence to that thought. She shook her head violently.

“I told you to pay attention. Keep drawing aether.” he chided.

The focused beam that spilt from the soul crystal stopped as she spun her head in Hadriel’s direction. “Why?” she asked. She knew the pretense he was here under- to help her. Yet he had her drawing essence to restore her own, he must’ve known there was an aetherial deficit. He must have known of her condition, yet he didn’t speak on it. This wasn’t to restore her sight, that was for certain, so he must have had an ulterior motive.

“Because Mira asked me to help you. There is nothing more to it. Now you’re wasting time, continue to dr-”

“No. There has to be more to it. No one does things for others selflessly. There’s no true altruism in this world. Only people who are waiting to take advantage of others.”

He chuckled a bit, “Ah, there it is. I was wondering when you would start being affected. Is the bitterness setting in? The anger? The doubt? Good. It only means you’re taking more and more of the aether into yourself.”

Her face flushed. She couldn’t see him but she could hear his laughter which infuriated her further. “What do you mean?! You were expecting me to get affected?!”

“What did you have left? Maybe a few months to live? Soul crystals host a fountain of aether from the people who left an imprint on it, small fragments of their souls absorbed over time. I’m letting you borrow more time from that since you were irresponsible and treated your own life and aether with wanton disregard.”

“...It won’t be enough.”

She could hear him undo the top of his flask before he drank. Of course he was drinking. She heard a scoff.

“No, definitely not. Being able to convert your own life force to aether is a gift very few people have, and now that you’ve drained every bit of that gift that you possibly could, it’s time to find a new solution. If you’re able to convert aether one way, then you should be able to do the opposite. Convert it into your own life force. Frankly, I’ve never come across anyone like you so I don’t know the right answer, but right now, this is the only answer I have. Once you’ve learned to draw aether proficiently enough from living things around you, you should be able to survive. Not only that, you should be able to thrive. Sight would be restored to you through perception of aether, and the cost for that should no longer matter.”

“G-get out.” she seethed furiously. “I’m not a toy for you to watch writhe about.”

“I think you need a break.” he grabbed the soul crystal off her desk and hung it around his neck, tucking the pendant into his vest. “You’re doing fine. Trust me. Maybe later you can try again when you calm down ...I’ll be seeing you.”

Her erratic breath seemed to calm a bit after he left. What was she angry about again? She shook her head as her grip along the desk loosened. “W-what?” she whispered to herself. She wanted to be mad at him, at something, at anything. She breathed in sharply in an attempt to gather herself. A shaky breath escaped her lips. “I’m okay… I’m okay…” she uttered to herself as she had done a hundred times before.

Her hand expanded before her as she focused her aether again, using a practiced hand to bring forth White Magicka. A flare of abyssal energies flashed in her palm instead.

“...I’m okay.”

The door had shut and opened once more as someone walked into the clinic, “Ah, I’m looking for a Mizuna --” It certainly wasn’t Dawn’s male guest from earlier.

Dawn shut her fist and extinguished the abyssal flame that lingered in her grasp. She moved to place a rounded pair of sunglasses on to cover her unfocused gaze. “Oh? Mizuna is not here, perhaps I can be of some help?”

“I see, she’s the one that stitched me up some couple of weeks ago. The stitches are -- well I’m about to cut them out myself if someone doesn’t remove the damn things from my arm.” she watched the woman -- clinics just weren’t her thing. Nijah lifted a hand through her bangs, “She also mentioned something about a checkup but I suppose I could just schedule something while I’m here?”

The White Mage shook her head, “I’ll help you remove the stitches, as for the checkup; she can do that on her own time. Please...” she gestured toward one of the rooms and shifted over to slide the curtains aside, “...Take a seat on the table.”

The Ala Mhigan woman nodded, not that she knew Dawn couldn’t see, she hadn’t met the woman in her life. Doing as she was bid, Nijah took a seat along the table as instructed and removed her glove.

Dawn had reached for some tools and vials about the room, all while feeling for stickers along them with little raised dots. She grabbed a towel and placed it on the tray before setting it beside the patient. “Which arm was it again?”

“...Right.” Nijah furrowed a brow and held out her arm to the woman, “Didn’t count how many she actually shoved in there.”

Dawn meandered a couple feet away to the sink, washing her hands. “May I touch you?” she asked as she approached again, her head tilted.

“Well yeah, you’re kinda gonna have to.” she huffed and shoved her arm in the woman’s direction, each stitch itching for freedom and she was trying her best not to scratch.

The medical professional gave a smile, if it wasn’t clear before, it was made clear now that she couldn’t see as she felt for Nijah, finding her arm and running her hands along her skin. She felt the stitches along her forearm. “Ah, there they are, please keep your arm out.” she moved to pour one of the vials onto one of the hand-towels she had prepared. Dawn dabbed the towel along Nijah’s stitching, “Feels like it was a deep laceration… about five ilms long? About twenty stitches? I would’ve gone with more just to be safe… but it seems like you’ve healed fine. Let me clean the area right quick.” The cloth smelled strongly of alcohol.

Nijah could only stare as the woman who felt her way around was tending to her arm. She had to have been crazy to stay any longer and possibly let a blind woman come at her with the Gods know what, “You work here?” she asked. It was better than sitting in awkward silence as the Doctor went about her work, “Never seen you before.”

A sly smile wore about her features as she continued to press the cloth into Nijah’s patched laceration. “And I’ve never seen you before either. Nice to meet you.” She responded before tossing the towel into a bin, “My name is Dawn, and I was hired here to be the staff physician.” her hands ran delicately to identify where the plastic stitches were again before she grabbed a pair of suture scissors in one hand, keeping the other along the injury. “I don’t feel any inflammation and the wound seems to have closed so I will be removing the stitches. They might hurt as I cut and pull them out though.”

“Nijah.” she responded kindly enough and she knit her brow to watch as Dawn continued, “Mizuna was the one that was seen to me and thankfully I have enough know-how when it comes to cleaning wounds to make sure my limbs don’t fall off.”

Dawn gave a light, awkward giggle, “Well, you won’t have to worry about that. I’ll clean your wound again after we remove the stitches.” The woman moved quickly and methodically to feel at the stitches and adjusted the scissors along each before snipping away and pulling them out carefully. She listened and felt for Nijah’s reaction between each removal before she placed every suture onto the tray next to them. Each went without a fuss. She figured Nijah must have been good at not reacting to sharp pangs of pain.

“You’re confident in your work at least, most wouldn’t even attempt to try and do what you’re doing.”

“Oh? I suppose. I wouldn’t imagine many people would try to remove your stitches if they weren’t trained to do so. At least, I hope they wouldn’t.” Dawn spoke as she snipped and removed the last few sutures.

“I used to before I had access to a medic all the time, like this. Growing up in Ul’dah we sort of just made due with what we had.”

“Well, I would have to advise against you doing that anymore and ask that you come to me from now on.” she gave a polite smile in Nijah’s direction. It was a bit off from where she should have turned her head but in the right area nevertheless. “Though it’s already a good enough sign that you will since you came here in the first place. There.” She removed the last suture and placed it on the tray. She grabbed another hand-towel she had prepared and popped another vial. “This might hurt too.” After pouring the liquid onto the cloth she pressed firmly along the laceration and removed stitches, digging her fingers into where Nijah had been cut. “It’s an antibiotic. Since I just removed your sutures they’re practically open wounds. Best to be safe. Sorry if it hurts.”

Nijah did cringe a moment and sucked in a breath, watching the Doctor go about her business but it was all part of the process, right? At least she had got to the lengths Mizuna had not, “Thanks.” she huffed out, “I’ll be sure to remember that.”

“You know… your voice sounds very familiar.” she commented, squeezing even harder onto the wound as she moved the cloth along it, bit by bit.

“Familiar? I’ve been here for a long time.”

“Hmn.” she sounded, nails digging along the cloth to reach deeper into the wound. A few of the holes left from the stitching left a crimson stain along the towel.

“Longer than most.” she finished and her free hand took hold of Dawn’s wrist at her other arm, “I think ...it's clean now, Doc.” she hissed out ever so lightly at the sting at her flesh.

The pleasant smile wore on her features as she looked toward Nijah. The patient’s features lit up a bright blue outline along her flesh. She was seeing her through traces of aether. It came to her as if it were second nature, as if she had used this approach for years. In a blink the darkness returned and the blue hues dissipated. Dawn maintained a painful grip, “I told you it will hurt, if we don’t get the antibiotics deep into the open punctures from the stitching, it might cause an infection. Trust me, a little pain now will save a lot of stress later. Unless you’re not partial to this limb; then I can skip this.”

Of course Nijah was no medical expert but she was perceptive enough to know that the point of fixing wounds was to mend them, not reopen them. She held firm to the woman’s wrist and attempted to pry her hand away while shifting from the table, “I think it’s good, albeit bleeding again but. We’re good Doc.”

The White Mage laughed lightly after her hand was pried off of the wound. “Better safe than sorry, I say. I don’t want you to get an infection.” Her stance adjusted to face Nijah as she moved off the table. Dawn reached for the tray and felt at a couple of the vials that had not been used, “Here. These are antibiotics. You probably won’t need them but it’s better to take them and not need them, then need them and not have them.”

Nijah had taken the offered vials giving the woman an odd look, “Right.” pursing her lips, she gazed over the given vials, “Thanks… Doc.”

Dawn simply offered a polite grin and parroted the words that kept ringing in her head, “Good luck.”

FE Fates Replay - Weapons

I decided to do this separately, instead of injecting it into the story parts. I’m trying to leave the story and characters separate from gameplay stuff, but weapons in this game were handled really badly.

First thing’s first: weapons are now unbreakable. Except healing staves, because fuck you I guess. Seriously, why are they the ONE THING that breaks? Complete and utter horseshit. Anyway, this single change has a major ripple effect throughout the entire game, and it’s not a positive one. It’s time for me to sit back in my rocking chair and ramble on to you kids about the good old days when your shit just broke all the fucking time.

To some of you, that statement may sound facetious or insane, depending on whether you think I’m serious. I am serious, but that’s not the point. The point is, I’m right about this. See, breakable weapons had all sorts of benefits. For instance, if you had a tank, you could break the weapon of the boss that sat on a throne, and have weaker units hit them repeatedly for minor damage to farm out some levels, without having to have random encounters, or risk your life in arena. Breakable weapons also meant that you could bring a weapon with 1 hit left, guaranteeing that an enemy would barely survive so a weaker enemy could finish the job. They weren’t substantial effects, but they were smaller and more helpful effects.

Now, the core weapons are still here. Brass weapon, which is really light and very not strong. Iron weapon, a bit stronger, but kinda your “standard” weapon type. Steel, which is heavier and stronger. And Silver, which is the strongest of all. To really understand what I’m getting at, we’re gonna have to talk about old mechanics. See, back in the day, characters had a stat called “constitution.” Constitution determined essentially how much weight you could handle on your weapon. So, let’s say an Iron Lance was 6 weight. A Knight, who would have really high constitution, would be able to wield it no problem. But a Pegasus Knight, which had, say, a constitution of 4, would struggle. To account for this, you would take the difference between the weapon’s weight and your constitution, and subtract that from the unit’s speed. Essentially, a Pegasus Knight would have high speed, but couldn’t afford to power up to Steel weapons without a severe speed penalty. But, a character like a Mercenary, who tends to have higher constitution, would be able to wield a Steel weapon without said penalty. It was another component of distinguishing units. Some could easily use Steel without a drawback, some couldn’t and needed to use weaker weapons to play to their strengths with double-strikes and higher evasion.

Silver weapons, in these days, were invaluable. They had higher might than even Steel weapons, but weight wasn’t as bad. They were stronger and lighter than their steel counterparts, and were considered the ultimate in standard weaponry. Their downsides, however, were two-fold. One, they were expensive. If you didn’t have a lot of money, you probably didn’t have many of them. This was a more minor drawback, but it existed just the same. Two, durability. Steel weapons tended to have 30 durability. Silver had 20. They’d break fast, especially in the hands of faster units that didn’t have the best attack stat. You basically got 10 rounds of combat out of them, and with only five inventory slots, you needed to be carrying more weapons, which meant less support items.

Now, consider what would happen if you kept those weapons, but removed durability. Suddenly, such a system doesn’t work. Cost is no longer a problem, because you only need to ever buy one, and durability is removed, both negating how many you need to carry and freeing up inventory space. Clearly, the Silver weapons are now, maybe, a bit too good? So, how do you balance this out? Fates decided to fiddle with stats outright. Much like with the hidden daggers, stat changes were kind of a fixation for this game, for better or worse. I, personally, think it needlessly complicated a lot of things, but that’s not important. What is important is how Fates handled this.

Steel Weapons universally give a -5 Speed penalty. That’s enough that, if you had even speed, the enemy now double-strikes you. Now, Steel was heavy enough in previous games that this feels pretty similar, but without the convolution of having to know how Constitution works. I can respect the attempt. But what we lost was the distinction for sturdier units that still had a speed stat. Mercenaries can’t really use Steel anymore. There’s a heavy stat penalty for that, and they use speed a lot. Silver weapons got hit as well. Now you lose attack and skill when you attack. It’s less severe, at only two points of loss, but they recover only one point per turn. So you’re still taking a hit to both damage, and likelihood of hitting in the first place. Considering that skills exist and many activate off of your skill stat, that’s even more significant.

But here’s what really gets me. S-rank weapons, the ultimate weapons of their type, the ones you can only wield effectively if you’ve spent the entire game mastering the weapon. They have penalties as well. For instance, the S-rank katana halves your strength stat through your next action. The weapon itself has 18 might, which is pretty good, but if your Strength is capped, you probably lost as much damage as the weapon’s might. At that point, you’re better off with Brass than you are this thing. The sheer, overwhelming deficits inflicted on the player by these stronger weapons is outrageous, and it leads into my problem with forging.

Forging an Iron weapon is the smartest action you can take. Why? Because you buff up your weapon damage quite a lot, maybe not to the point of the Silver and certainly not to the level of the S-rank weapons. But there’s no draw-backs on them. So instead of hurting your ability to hit enemies or activate skills, you just have raw damage. Instead of halving your strength stat, you just...get the damage. It’s an outright better weapon than the ultimate S. And so, the best weapon in Fates isn’t the thing you’ve been building toward getting that you only obtain in the final hour as you approach the ultimate boss of your route. It’s the simple Iron weapon, upgraded through dozens of artificial stones you collected in My Castle and paid for with a dozen copies of the same weapon and hundreds of thousands of gold you farmed.

So that’s why I hate the weapons in Fates. That is, without question, the thing that holds the gameplay back. Because you didn’t really...need these deficits, you know? You could’ve done just fine without them. But no, if we did that, why would anyone need to collect resources? If no one needed to collect resources, why would they visit other castles? If you won’t visit other castles, then why even offer that? Exactly, why even offer that? My Castle was an arbitrary idea that they generated, and tied into core gameplay mechanics in a way that does nothing but drastically slow down progress through the plot. It’s invasive and unnecessary, and it really, really bothers me.

BONUS ROUND

I’m also gonna complain about the weapon triangle! In the olden times, by which I mean Awakening, the triangle was simple. Swords beat Axe, Axe beat Lance, Lance beat Sword. Easy. Tomes have historically had some weapon triangle of their own. In older times, Light beat Dark, Dark beat Anima, Anima beat Light. In the Radiant games, it was Fire, Wind, and Lightning in a similar deal. But tomes have always been outside of the weapon triangle. Why is that? Well, two reasons. One is that tomes are problem solvers. Got a physical wall in the way? Blast it with magic. The other is that, despite being said problem solver, mages are frail, and having no strength against a particular weapon means that they go down to about any physical fighter that gets in range. Archers especially are devastating for mages, because they hit the weaker defensive stat and are also ranged fighters.

Now, though? Now, tomes are included in the weapon triangle, as just a whole thing. All tomes are good against bows now for some reason, while they’re weak to daggers. This means that ninja, who tend to have pretty good resistance, become hard counters to mages. Which is honestly okay. I don’t really dislike the idea of having things be able to beat mages. Apparently, in the times before I got into the series, magic was horrifically overpowered. But now, we run into some problems.

Dagger users have range, weaken enemy defenses, and have high resistance and speed. Unless your unit is physically sturdy, strong, and skilled, ninjas win out. So personally? I kinda felt like they were a bit much in this game the first time I played. Maybe I’ll think differently as I go through now, but they really felt like the most powerful unit. But the more devastating thing is that...Lance and Dagger occupy the same category. Meaning lances have advantage over tome. Meaning that Generals, the super physical tanks that can only really be handled by mages, have fucking weapon advantage over mages now. Brilliant work, Fates, expertly done.

Bows being in the weapon triangle also bothers me. Mages have advantage there too, so Bows have less of a chance. Ninjas took their main niche. Oh, except for dealing with flying units. But flying units are mostly lance and axes, so no change there, at least. It just feels arbitrary.

Honestly, I think Heroes did this concept a lot better. Tomes come in different kinds, and they have advantage over one another, but also are strong against a particular melee weapon. Daggers and bows are considered outside of the weapon triangle, so the weird matchups no longer exist. Now, if only the next game can confirm that healers can attack, we’ll be in real business...

How I Lost 30 Pounds In 90 Days And How You Can Too

NEW YORK, NY --- IT ALL HAPPENED SO FAST.

I was in the midst of what I could only describe as a mental breakdown.

For the past few weeks, I'd been visualizing my "future self" quite often...

This "future self" being a healthy, happy and incredibly fit young man.

An image that, up until this day, had seemed like a sure shot.

As the wise men say, though, "all good things must come to an end". And in line with the prophecies or whatever you want to call them, my fairy tale had come to an end.

This end was the day I that my three, incredibly fast months of weight loss came to an abrupt stop.

(In reality, it had actually ended at least a few weeks prior. I'd just been too blind to realize it.)

It was the end of 30 pounds of rapid weight loss.

The end of an incredible amount of fat that disappeared, like a miracle, in less than 90 days.

A miracle that went just as fast as it came.

It went, even as I foolishly kept thinking I was "doing great" and "getting lean".

It went, until the fateful day I realized that I had made ZERO progress over the last 2-3 odd weeks.

...That the scale wasn't moving an inch.

That the fat on my stomach looked exactly as it did in the weeks prior.

And that my muscles seemed to look me back with the "ain't got time for yo' bullshit" look.

My BODY had officially had it.

And truth be told, I deserved it.

I thought I could read a 300-word blog post and follow its 6 "diet rules", learn NOTHING about nutrition, learn NOTHING about exercise, learn NOTHING about my body, and somehow transform from an obese slob to a lean, mean fat-burning machine.

Not so fast, buddy!

And so began my quest.

A quest that culminated in massive, lasting success to the tune of 76 pounds lost. And to the reality, not just a pipe dream, of transforming from an obese slob to a lean, mean, fat-burning machine.

But a quest that, for me, included the time to understand the finer points of nutrition. To understand the inner workings of both body and mind. To discover both time-tested strategies, and modern tips and tricks --- and to proverbially "hack" my way to the upper echelons of fitness. To hack my way to a level of mastery in the field, that ranks far above the "experts" spouting off their un-researched, unproven "facts"...yet below the level of claiming complete, unquestionable knowledge of the field.

Because as I've learned by studying the real experts, the claim of unquestionable knowledge is nothing more than proof of a tremendous ego and a complete lack of humility.

There is no one, I repeat no one, who knows everything there is to know about nutrition, exercise, physiology, psychology, and all the other components of building a healthy, happy, well-rounded person. (But there are some who know a whole lot, myself included. [end shameless plug])

The best we can really do is keep an open mind, and always strive to learn more, to apply more, and to test more.

To be better than we were yesterday and as good as we can be today, for ourselves, and for our clients, for our families, and for our friends, and to every single person, we come into contact with on a daily basis.

And in doing so, we can sow the seeds for an amazing, fulfilling, freeing life.

At least that's how I see life today, and how I hope you see life too (or start seeing it.)

Anyway, I know that was a bit philosophical, but it's important to get out there.

Moving on, let's get to the "meat" of what the book is all about.

I formally introduce you to one of the most comprehensive books on fat loss, fitness, and body-mind wellness that I know of (and trust me, I've read a TON of books on the topic) -- a book that combines:

Hundreds of conversations with health & wellness specialists, NY Times bestselling authors, world-class fat loss experts, and more.8

Insane amounts of study, research, testing, and application, both with myself and my clients. (This includes studying and implementing strategies from over 40 full-length books and 600+ research papers & expert commentaries.)

My unique 8+ years of small "successes", followed by seemingly insurmountable failures and culminating with the final, lasting 76-pound weight loss success that I have now.

Furthermore, I introduce you to a book that you can use to, at a minimum, grasp the "big picture" of fat loss so you can start transforming your body today (while of course delving deep into the knowledge if you'd like).

And lastly, I introduce you to a book that takes away all the guesswork, and makes it simple and easy to change your body, without all the B.S. of trying out a hundred and one things just to lose a damn pound!

I hope that you use this guide wisely. Use it with as much (inner) strength, vigor, and dedication as you can muster, and in doing so, you too can have your very own extreme fat loss transformation.
