Nothing wrong to see here

One year more passed since I returned from the dead, one year more have I chosen these very lands to tread. One year more shall I perform on this grand stage, one year more has gone, and yet I continue to age.

I swear by my blade that I will protect and defend, as I bear the Ouroboros, for this cycle has no end. With the convictions of freedom engraved into my core, I wield this sword to fight, for this is the burden I bore.

My tale with Rhodes Island and Endfield still goes, and I continue to make friends and vanquish foes. My homeland may be gone, and I may live far away, but their ideals and hopes I still carry every waking day.

Through storms of Originium and sands of the waste, I’ve tasted the bitterness that time leaves in haste. The scars on my spirit are maps of the shattered past, a legacy written in shadows that are destined to last.

The serpent may coil and the seasons may turn, while the fires of conflict continue to fiercely burn. I walk through the ashes where empires once stood, to do what is right, even when it's not "good."

Now I stand here at an academy to me so unknown, yet after three months here, many secrets were shown. I've made many relationships, and helped many more, but I know the story still goes, and I still write this score.

Comrades I've met to protect this place alongside me, friends that helped me find what I wished to truly be. Lovers that have taught me to start loving what I was, an entire academy I wish to protect, just because.

So I thank you all for joining me on this humble tale, because to me, it goes into such a larger scale. For it is thanks to you all that I have enjoyed this ride, so for one year more may I have the honor to be by everyone's side.

// Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening UmaFFS. As of writing this, it is 2 in the morning and officially my 18th birthday. Ever since Valentines this year, this subreddit has been such an amazing community to the point that I feel like part of the family even in this short while. Consider this poem as my love letter to you all and the amazing experiences I've had here, and I really hope I could continue to be part of this community for many more years to come. Love you guys! o7

Bom dia, boa tarde e boa noite a todos. As we had seen in previous sessions of this program, tea can be a drink of festivities and celebration — as seen in our session when we visited Bolívar. We have also seen how tea could be a drink for the tropics, like when we went to Siesta. However, of course, many of us treat these two as not mutually exclusive — rather, they mist go hand-in-hand with one another. Thus, as we return to the nation of Bolívar for tonight, we shall visit the topical hub that is Dossoles. It is a city similar to that you may typically see in any Latin American country, however its closest counterpart is Rio de Janeiro in Brazil — based on its festivities and love for the beach; while still being able to balance it out with the comfort of a nice and warm bed. If you do not take a vacation in Siesta, or if you already have, and if you wish to continue going to beach resorts and pristine blue shores, I heavily recommend visiting Dossoles.

Given this unique combination of attributes that one may not necessarily attribute to a conventional cup of tea, we get something more special — a festive tea that acts like a refreshment on the beach — the perfect alternative to a shot of tequila. For tonight, we will be brewing Capim-limão — otherwise known as lemongrass — and Lime — a brew that encapsulates Bolívarian culture and tradition with the calmness of a Siestan beach. Many Bolívarians call this drink the sossega-leão — literally meaning the drink to soothe the lion. In Dossoles, you party hard unlike anywhere else with its activities both during the day and night. Round the clock, you see parties, sports, competitions and games on land, sea, and sky. One moment you see a group of people playing volleyball, the next, you see two surfers riding the biggest wave you have ever seen. One moment, you see silhouettes of paragliders up in the skies, and the next, you feel yourself sitting on a nice chair underneath the calming shade of a decently sized parasol. It is the quintessential Dossoles experience after all; and it of course must include a drink or two to get you through the day. Most people prefer either a juice or an alcoholic drink, but this tea is most definitely a great alternative that can cater to both juice and alcohol enjoyers alike — plus those who do indeed enjoy a nice cup of tea. It is the perfect vacation brew — as told to me by Officer Ch'en and Señor Tequila — and one that soothes the soul into a party-like feel as told to me by Señora La Pluma. This is a brew for the high-energy spirits, the creators, and the celebrators who need to find their center without losing their spark.

So as we indulge in this celebration by the beach, grab your equipment, ingredients, and any gadget that could play a nice tune of reggae or bossa nova. It's for the best experience. Otherwise, sit back, relax with those tunes playing in your mind, and enjoy tonight's session of The Evening Brew.
