inspired by some comments from <a href="https://alexwarlorn.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="https://a.deviantart.net/avatars/default.gif" alt=":iconalexwarlorn:" title="alexwarlorn"/></a>, i decided to try a story where someone gets petrified for a very long time. my story, or rather, my bunch of small stories, first times petrified <a href="https://lz0291.deviantart.com/art/first-times-petrified-98268415">[link]</a> covered the first time i saw the status effect in game, when quina had add status and petrified an unlucky alexandrian soldier. the start of the story is a recap of maria&#039;s petrification, but you can read the older story for a more detailed background. <br /><br />regardless of what you prefer though, unlucky maria finds herself trapped as a statue in the ruins of cleyra, lucky to have not been smashed apart by odin destroying the city and tree. but life as a statue is long, boring, and for maria, it might just be forever...<br /><br />tried to flesh out poor maria as much as i could, so this one is pretty long. hopefully i&#039;ve given her memories worth losing rather than just cliches. i might do a shorter follow up from terra and rosa&#039;s perspectives about their missing friend as well as maybe continue maria&#039;s story.<br /><br />it has warnings for nudity, violence/gore and sexual themes to be safe, because though i largely imply the things the warning pertains to, i think it better to be safe. there&#039;s nothing remotely explicit though. like i say, just keeping it safe.
