It didn't help, and she had no idea where she stopped on her mother's letter when she got it on her birthday a month ago. She wasn't into reading a letter at that point, but she opened up her mother's letter. [color=FFB6C1][i]' Might as well get this over with so I can get on with my life afterward.' [/i][/color] Diana thought to herself. She roughs it out to read the letter since she needs to. It looks like this letter only has a single page to read, which makes it easier to read it. It had not been that much of a hassle to read it all this time, but she didn't read it and couldn't remember where she was. Diana sighs at why she was a bit annoyed at herself for not reading it all that time ago. It irritated Diana didn't want to see what Rebecca said about her on her birthday. She received her Diary for the war by her mother's thoughtfulness to her forgetfulness. [color=FFB6C1][i]' Why am I such a scatterbrained idiot? I should have read it sooner than now...' [/i][/color] Diana thought to herself. She facepalmed at her actions in not reading it when she should have. [hider=Rebecca's Birthday Wishes Letter] From: Rebecca Liana Vastergoth To: Diana Elana Vastergoth Address: 1312 Hideaway Street, Castleton The Vastergoth Homestead near the Vastergoth Bakery In the Atlantic Federation Military, wherever you are deployed. Date: November 12th, 1914EC Date of Retrieval: November 15th, 1914EC Dear Diana, Daughter, I am saddened that you didn't take your leave to come home to see your family again since you probably need some R&R. I would have baked your favorite cookies if you did, but you are probably dealing with something heavily important now. I might also say, Happy Birthday, Diana, since you aren't here to be wished a happy birthday. There is something wrong with Castleton lately without you here, and all the people have been changing for the worst, it seems. I do hope you do return to me, Diana, so we can be a family again. It doesn't help I am still hurting from Astra's decision to cut ties with us completely. Still, I do not know why Astra did cut ties with us. I wonder if you have any knowledge on the matter. Also, Susan wants to remind you about her wedding next year and that she's going to get married to Dorothy van Ritter. I hope you can forgive your sisters for what they did to you all those years ago. Your dad and I have tried our best to raise our children to make sure they stay on the path of helping others. I do hope you find someone you deeply love, as I had with your father, Gavin. You are meant to be happy, and that's why I indulged you the most and asked you to be faithful to our family doctrine. It is always kind to others and gives them respect no matter their lot in life, and the Darscens need that help and respect. All their tragedies overshadow the tragedy that had happened to the Vastergoth Family, five-hundred years ago. I'm sorry to tell you this, but Gavin and I have kept something from you not to harm your beliefs. The Vastergoth Family used to have a large amount of wealth, prestige and controlled half of Castleton. All of the reasons why Gavin's family stopped being that rich was because of the Donster Family. Still, I believe they harbor some hate for our family for some unknown reasons, but they haven't decided to break the 1414 Treaty so far. I don't understand why they would harbor it, but if you want to tell me anything that happened to you by anyone's of their hands, please tell me, Diana. I know you too well to keep secrets from me, but when you feel like talking, I will always be here. With Love, Rebecca Liana Vastergoth PS: Diana, I do hope you enjoy the Diary. All girls deserve to have something to write on since everyone has thoughts to put down, and it'll be better that way. [/hider] Diana was floored by reading the letter thoroughly, and she had no idea about any of what was said in the last paragraph. She does know about the 500 years of being friends with the Darscens, though. However, Diana felt something click in her head in why Astra wished her dead and everything else that her sister has done. All of them point to Richard knowing exactly the full history of why the Vastergoth Family decided to leave the life of power. Her sister was corrupted by the thought of wealth and being happily married to Richard. [color=FFB6C1][i]’ D-Damn it. I was too scared to deal with Astra back then to tell her she was making a terrible mistake. It feels like I fail as a sister to my sisters…' [/i][/color] Diana thought to herself with a grimace on her face. Deep in her gut, Astra was corrupted by the prospect of the Donster's last name and what it entails. Astra was going to get married to Richard after the war. Diana had a slight pang of guilt for everything that occurred. She is happy for her eldest sister is getting married to Dorothy van Ritter. It all made sense now why her mother sent her the Diary, missed in taking all those months ago during this year. All so Diana can write down her thoughts and make sure she keeps them steady in her mind. However, all that happened in Amone shattered that part of her, the innocence she held. Diana's much more similar to her mother when Diana left for EW1. It didn't take long for her to get her drink and drink it as much as possible since something interrupted her thoughts and plans for today. Diana did put her letter back up in its envelope and put it in her pocket. One of the people listed by the list told her to get to the Supply Trench ASAP for orders by their captain. In terms, they will be on laying-duty by the person who found her to tell her about her orders. Therefore, Diana walked to the supply trench as quickly as possible to hear additional orders from Captain Middleton. It didn't help her body language wasn't much better, or her attitude changed slightly to better, but it didn't last long. Still, she'll deal with all the orders since she's a soldier. She also asked Lucia to come with her to the Supply Trench. [hr] [h2][color=FFB6C1][b]The Supply Trench, the Mission in question[/b][/color][/h2] Diana was at the supply trench waiting patiently for the others to arrive and Captain Middleton to give additional orders. She waves at the other members of the squad told to gather at the supply trench. [color=FFB6C1][b]” Hey, how’s everyone doing? Laying-Duty..." [/b][/color] Diana said a little aloud so the others can hear her. She did do the orders but didn't understand what Laying-Duty was by how she spoke with a confused tone in her voice. Her mind slightly only wondered because Diana tried her duties to the best of her abilities. Diana has many things she has to do so she can live to reach her mother and sisters. She needs to make the war to finish it to the best of her abilities. All in all, Diana is a bit scared about why they will do duties now, but there was probably a reason why. In why everyone that was in the group was assigned to meet at the Supply Trench. She did help Lucia to come to the Supply Trench since it would be a good idea to be there with everyone. [color=FFB6C1][i]' I hope Captain Grumpus isn't going to be rude to Jean...' [/i][/color] Diana thought to herself. She was a bit worried about Jean's health being underneath Captain Middleton's harshness. Diana had a worried look on her face looking at Jean when he arrived. All because she did tell the others where Jean was. Diana felt like it was a bit of a double-edged sword, but her annoyance at authority. All because it was to get everyone here on time than being a bit late. It's essential to be at the Supply Trench, but all she did was sigh slightly. Diana had problems and troubles in her life after Amone. Rebecca's letter made her think more about everything in her family. It felt odd why her parents would hide any mention about the 1414EC Treaty between the two families that controlled Castleton. The dissolution of the Vastergoth's control over half of Castleton and between the two families never spills the other's blood. Diana felt deep in her bones; that is what Rebecca is hinting at in the letter. Richard didn't try to kill her and said something about not spilling her blood or something to that effect. He is terrifying, though, and she is afraid about what he'll do to her family if he becomes the head of his household. Her inaction and fear might cause much more anxiety in Castleton. All of Castleton is changing while she's no longer there, and it's probably because of the Donster Family. [color=FFB6C1][i]' I should have done something instead of nothing...'[/i][/color] Diana thought to herself. She sighs slightly but looks up at everyone and tries to smile at everyone. [color=FFB6C1][b]" Slightly distracted with something else, sorry."[/b][/color] Diana said. All this weariness of not getting much sleep wasn't helping anyway. She slightly yawned at the tiredness she felt, which was one reason she was distracted; the other was the letter she read. [@CFProxy], [@FalloutJack], [@Samakama].
