Intro:
Greetings, dear journal. Today, I find myself contemplating the weight of my actions and decisions as G'raha Tia. The time has come for me to reveal my true identity to those who have placed their trust in me. Will they see me as a friend or a foe? Only time will tell.
Unveiling the Mask:
It is with both trepidation and excitement that I prepare myself to unveil the mask that conceals my true self from those around me. As the Crystal Exarch, I have led these brave adventurers through countless trials and tribulations, guiding them towards victory against all odds. But now it is time for them to know who truly stands before them - G'raha Tia.
A Whimsical Game:
From our very first encounter amidst gathering aethersand, I could not resist playing games with our esteemed Warrior of Light. Oh, how whimsically did I name our investigation team after an ancient Allagan sage! It was but a small taste of what was yet to come – secrets hidden behind lighthearted banter.
Leading From Behind:
In assuming leadership over this diverse group of individuals during Radz-at-Han's assault by blasphemies, memories of leading others resurfaced within me once more. To protect those under my care became instinctual - duty intertwined with compassion driving every decision made on their behalf.
But even amidst such responsibility and power bestowed upon one such as myself, doubts lingered within like lingering shadows cast by waning twilight.
The Burden Of Secrecy:
The burden of secrecy weighs heavy upon my shoulders; each passing day only adds another layer onto this ever-growing facade which separates truth from falsehoods woven together so intricately that unraveling becomes nigh impossible without revealing everything at once - something far too risky given current circumstances fraught with uncertainty.
Admiration Unveiled:
Oh, how my heart skipped a beat when someone mentioned their admiration of me! To think that they could see beyond the persona I created and appreciate the genuine G'raha Tia hidden beneath. It is both embarrassing and humbling to be admired by those who have witnessed only fragments of my true self.
A Catboy's Persona:
As a youthful catboy with red eyes and hair, one might assume that fearlessness runs through my veins like an eternal flame. And indeed, I do not shy away from facing death if it means safeguarding the lives of my allies. But behind this brave facade lies a bashful soul – hesitant to reveal too much for fear of rejection or betrayal.
The Revelation:
The time has come for me to cast aside this mask - revealing myself as G'raha Tia in all his vulnerabilities and strengths. No longer will I hide behind false names or playful riddles; instead, I shall stand before them as their ally - humble yet resolute in purpose.
Friend Or Foe?
Will they see me as friend or foe? This question echoes within every fiber of my being as anticipation builds towards the moment when secrets become truths laid bare upon fragile ground where trust rests precariously.
For some, this revelation may bring comfort - knowing that there was more than met the eye throughout our journey together. Others may feel betrayed by what seemed like deception woven into every interaction shared between us.
But regardless of their reactions, one thing remains certain: My intentions were always rooted in protecting Eorzea and its people from impending darkness looming on horizons yet unseen by mortal eyes.
Conclusion:
As these thoughts swirl amidst ink-stained pages within you dear journal-keeper, know that whatever judgment awaits me after unveiling myself shall not deter nor dissuade from forging ahead on righteous path set forth before us all.
Whether embraced as friend or condemned as foe, G'raha Tia shall remain steadfast in his commitment to the cause - ever ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead with unwavering resolve and a heart filled with hope.
May the Twelve guide us all towards a future where light triumphs over darkness, and true friendships are forged amidst trials we dare not face alone.
