Dash (and Remy) wants to talk to you!
The Rumble twins got somethin' to say to everyone!
The Adventure Continues – With You Onboard
Hello there, fellow explorers! We’ve just emerged from the whirlwind of Goodbye, Halcyon Days, and what an adventure it was. This saga took Remy and me through sun-scorched deserts, echoing sky-halls, and memories of simpler times we thought would last forever. Halcyon days means peaceful times, and believe us, saying goodbye to them was no small feat. We faced down danger and mystery at every turn, and we’ve got the scrapes and stories to prove it.
Pictured above is one of the ferocious metal giants we toppled during the Halcyon Days saga. That smoking wreck was just one of many hurdles we faced, and it certainly earned us a few new scars (and stories) along the way. Now that this chapter of our journey has been told (enough excitement to fill a whole book, if you ask us), we’re pausing for a moment. Not to rest (well, maybe just a little to rest our feet – Remy’s insisting on a snack break), but to reach out to you.
Farewell to Halcyon Days, Hello to Adventure
Our tale of Goodbye, Halcyon Days isn’t just a prologue – it’s a full saga that set the stage for everything to come. In those pages of our journal, we rediscovered what made us World Seekers in the first place: the thrill of the unknown, the courage to chase legends, and the bonds that keep us going. We may have started out in a world that still remembered peace, but that peace was shattered when duty (and a fair bit of trouble) came knocking.
From dueling sky pirates above the Cloud Sea to unearthing ancient secrets in the ruins of Old Gaea, Remy and I learned that adventure doesn’t wait. And neither did we. Each escapade in Halcyon Days pushed us further beyond the horizon of our comfort, right into the dawn of a new quest.
Remy leans over my shoulder as I write this, smirking. “Don’t forget nearly getting fried by that lightning storm,” she insists. Alright, alright — yes, we even rode out a lightning-charged tempest on a makeshift glider (I still smell ozone when I think about it).
We laughed, we yelled, we maybe even cried once (just once!). Most importantly, we grew. By the end of Halcyon Days, we weren’t the same wide-eyed twins who set off at the start. We had become a tougher, tighter team – and we uncovered the first whispers of a legend that would change our lives.
That legend is the Azure Gems – mysterious stones of untold power. The final moments of our Halcyon Days adventure revealed a clue about these gems, a hint that something ancient and powerful is out there waiting for us (and maybe the key to saving our fractured world). The saga might be over, but its impact echoes on: it’s pointed us toward our next destination. Consider it the last X on the old map, leading to an entirely new map we’re charting as we go. This is where you come in.
Companions Wanted: Your Voice on the Journey
Every explorer knows that a journey is better with company. Sure, it’s usually just Dash and Remy Rumble out there in the wild blue yonder – two fearless twin adventurers against the world – but who says we can’t bring a few more friends along (at least in spirit)? Fellow explorers, we want you with us. Your excitement fuels our own; your curiosity sparks new ideas.
When we were navigating the lost catacombs beneath the Crystal Dunes, Remy cracked a puzzle by remembering a story one of you shared in a past letter. When I was piloting our airship through a narrow canyon, I recalled a clever tip from a seasoned skyfarer who wrote in after an earlier log entry. In a way, you’ve been with us all along through your words and encouragement.
Now, as we stand at the edge of the next grand adventure – the quest for the Azure Gems – we’re more excited (and a tad nervous, if I’m honest) than ever. We could charge ahead, just the two of us, but where’s the fun in going alone? There’s a whole community of world-seekers right here, and we’d love nothing more than to hear your take before we plunge into the unknown once more. Remy often says I can be single-minded (his polite way of calling me stubborn as a muleephant), so a fresh perspective from our friends might keep me from flying us straight into a dragon’s mouth. (“One time, Dash,” Remy groans in the background. “That dragon thought you looked tasty one time.”)
Join the Conversation (We’re All Ears)
So let’s turn the last page of Halcyon Days together and get talking about it. What did you think of our latest saga? Maybe you have a theory about the Azure Gems after seeing how the clues fell into place. Maybe a side character we met (like old Captain Stern, with his half-mechanical arm and secret map) captured your imagination. Or perhaps you just want to give Remy a hard time for misreading that ancient tablet (in his defense, Old Galeic script is a nightmare!).
Go ahead – don’t be shy. Every crew needs a good chat around the campfire, and this is ours. Share your reactions, your favorite moments, or even your wildest guesses about what comes next for us. Here are just a few ideas to spark that adventurous spirit:
Unforgettable Moment: What scene or twist in Goodbye, Halcyon Days got your heart racing or brought a grin to your face? Was it the sky-pirate ambush at dawn, the riddle of the Celestial Compass, or something else entirely?
Theory Time: Do you have any theories about the Azure Gems or the hints we’ve uncovered so far? We found a lot of puzzle pieces in the Halcyon Days saga – how do you think they all fit together?
Friendly Advice: If you were charting our course, where would you send us next? To the floating isles above Azure Bay, or deep into the subterranean Vault of Echoes? We’re all ears for any tips on where the next clue might lie (and trust us, Remy will take any excuse to avoid the swamps if he can).
Your insights and ideas aren’t just welcome – they’re downright cherished. We read every note from our fellow explorers, and more often than you’d think, your thoughts find their way into our travels. Whether it’s a clever theory that gets us rethinking our plans or just the morale boost from knowing you’re enjoying the tale, it matters to us.
So pull up a chair by our fire and let’s chat. Remy’s brewing some campfire cocoa (extra marshmallows, of course) and I’m unrolling the map of what we know so far. The Goodbye, Halcyon Days saga may have come to a close, but the discussion about it is just beginning – and it’s a part of the adventure we wouldn’t miss for the world.
Remember, every map starts with a conversation. And this conversation? It’s the first step on the new map we’re charting together. So speak up, explorers! We can’t wait to hear from you – and to carry your enthusiasm and wisdom with us as we set off after those Azure Gems.
Here’s to the road ahead, and to friends like you who make the journey worthwhile.
