Diana’s Brutal Reality – The Retreat – Amone City’s Walls (September 12th)

---

Diana knew it was time to leave when Isaac urgently agreed with Jean about they had to leave now since it was getting a bit too hectic of a time. It definitely didn’t help that the whole thing was the Federation’s fault of this specific disaster. She was definitely shaken up because this was supposed to be a peaceful place and the gas made that not the case. ”I am definitely not enjoying this experience at all… why does all the shit have to happen to us? I hope Jean will be alright.” Diana thought to herself slightly shaking. She followed Isaac and Britta through the Inn, since they have to get to the rear entrance. She did hear that Luke helped as many civilians as he could. It was a small miracle some civilians got out.

It was definitely a trying time to go through the Inn, in the fog that definitely can kill you. She couldn’t help but gasp when Isaac yelled for Franz. However, it was a relief that Isaac found Franz but what he was saying kinda creeped her out. ”That’s definitely scary… I definitely hope I don’t become like that...” Diana thought to herself, with a shock to her system. However, what Isaac had said about four blocks she did definitely hoped that Jean secures their escape since it would be better to live and not die to the Imperials or the deathly yellow fog. ”That’s definitely a good idea... Isaac.” Diana said with a slight shaken to what is happening. All around her mostly, the death, carnage and frustration of this battle is definitely terrifying to her. It makes what Richard did to her look like child’s play.

Diana definitely followed Isaac and hoped that Freya, Jean and Thomas would get out of there since it wouldn’t be good to lose any of them. They are apart of her squad and doesn’t want to see any of them dying that’s to be sure. She didn’t really want to wield her weapon right now since it would be better to stay with the group than fire towards the Imperials that would be shooting at them. ”Please be safe Jean, Thomas and Freya… I do hope you get out of here and regroup with us.” Diana thought to herself, while trying to keep herself focused on living with the group that’s walking out of the back of the inn to freedom from the enemy’s weapons. It was a bit of a frustration to her body language, why did war have to be a living nightmare or hell on Earth. She was grateful the gas mask on her face was keeping her from the poisonous gas that can kill her in moments. However, a bullet could do the same. ”Mother, Father… I hope I return to you alive and well and not dead like it seems everyone in this blasted war wants to do...” Diana thought to herself, since she was worried about her parents the most right now because they would be devastated if she died in EW1.

She hoped it was going to be a pretty easy retreat from a position of being surrounded. The other thing on her mind was mostly about the Tunnel mission in question. ”Ugh, I hope that’s not going to be a nightmare… like this is right now fucking Federation.” Diana thought to herself. However, it was pretty easy to see her frustration on her face. Because the entire thing was definitely frustrating, the whole thing was ruined because of the Federation artillery striking Anome. This will definitely be on her mind for all time because of this specific hell, in her dreams and everything.

Diana’s Brutal Reality – A Peaceful Night – Amone City’s Walls (Sept. 11th)

---

Diana heard what Britta had said about going to check up on somethings. ”Alright Britta.” Diana said with a slight smile on her face. It was obvious that Jean and Reyna dancing was a bit intoxicating compared to the utter sadness in her heart about her entire family. She couldn’t help but smile and giggle because of watching the two of them dance it was definitely cute. ”I think that’s the first time I seen him actually genuinely smile in awhile.” Diana thought to herself. She was definitely a bit better from seeing that spectacle. It took her a bit until she heard Michael speak up and she smiles gently even though there’s still tears going down her cheek because she’s slightly better.

”I will Michael… in terms of keeping my hopes high because it would be nice to have a family that’s unified than broken because of one single person’s evil. I am hopeful she will listen too, she’s the smartest of my siblings.” Diana said, with a gentle smile on her face. It was obvious she hoped she will be able to talk to her elder sister Astra. However, underlying in her heart there will be a definite hole in her heart because of everything that happened to her at home in Castleton. This peaceful night was a definite good thing for her so she can figure out her emotions. Her family the Vastergoths are definitely a hardheaded bunch of people and it takes them sometimes to figure out themselves before they feel complete.

The dancing stopped between Jean and Reyna and she couldn’t help but clap because of it. It was definitely beautiful in how they both danced, it definitely showed they were pretty good at dancing. The song in question was definitely interesting to her ears, which she still hadn’t really figured out what it means. She saw Jean get up and talk about what they need to do tomorrow about an operation to blow up tunnels. The additionally, of no alcohol is definitely a good thing, which has a happy tone to it. ”Yeah I will definitely sleep in my uniform since its better than the alternative right now...” Diana said, with her slightly blushing at what she hinted at. It would probably go over Jean’s head unless he heard her and Victoria have sex, it was mostly at the fact she was hinting she was completely naked. This made her blush a bit because it was a peaceful night. She was approached by Isaac, which taught her how to play cards. However, she did dance a bit with Reyna before going to bed since she was utterly exhausted because of the fact she didn’t get much sleep.

Diana went straight to her room, without going into any other rooms and went to bed so she could wake up the next morning preparing for the operation of the tunnels or any other obstacles. In there way, however, she hoped nothing bad would happen. To ruin the neutrality of this inn since it was outright amazing for her since she definitely did push through some of her family issues. Her mind was definitely peaceful when she slept. ”I hope we can start tomorrow anew… This war is utterly terrifying… I hope nothing really bad happens...” Diana thought to herself. In the back of her mind she continued to wonder about the mask that was given to her from the Federation. After that she fell asleep.

Diana’s Brutal Reality – Horror – Amone City’s Walls (September 12th)

---

Diana woke up slowly from her bed, which the morning sun was hitting her eyes that made her sigh a bit to everything that happened from yesterday. She followed what Jean had said from yesterday to the letter since she wouldn’t want to have a repeat from yesterday morning. It was a bit embarrassing to her, at least her hangover was completely gone now. That made her much happier compared to how she was yesterday, just utterly crying and couldn’t help herself to break down a bit. All her squadmates yesterday definitely helped her mood at least. Especially Reyna, since she had a dance with her and was highly embarrassed from the dance. It was mostly because she stared at Reyna, while dancing with her. However, after that dance she was taught how to play cards by Isaac that was really sweet of him. ”Everyone is kind to me… I will repay that kindness with being a proper soldier. I hope...” Diana thought to herself, with a smile.

She was getting her kit together, which was a bit of a pain. It took a bit to clean her rifle mostly because of the fact she learned it from Daniel. However, something in the air happened that made her a bit worried and terrified, which is the noise of distant artillery being fired. ”Uhh… what? Why is that happening… Whom is firing the artillery at this hour?” Diana thought to herself. She couldn’t help but feel a sickening feeling down in her stomach, the people who are firing the artillery is no other than the Federation. It was obvious, why they would be launching an artillery strike so the stalemate between the Federation & Imperials would finally end. ”Umm, that’s not good why would the Federation firing artillery? I hope it doesn’t come this way.” Diana thought to herself. She felt like all the hope in the world couldn’t change what will happen today, like all roads lead to destruction.

Diana couldn’t help but shake a bit in fear at what was happening. However, the hope in her heart was shattered by with what she heard and she was close to the window since she was looking outside. She instinctively ducked mostly because of the fact she heard someone downstairs yell it, which sounded like Isaac. The artillery shell landed outside of the inn, shattering all the windows of the inn, which was a good thing she ducked or she’ll get glass in her eyes. ”God damn it...” Diana said a bit out loud. It was said out of the frustration of everything happening all at once. She lifted her head and saw Jean and one of the Inn’s Employees outside, which was terrifying what she saw. A strange yellowish fog coming out of a shell and completely enveloping the girl that works at the inn. That outright made her utterly terrified at whatever this stuff is, however, she heard coming up the stairs Victoria yelling to put on the Masks. The sinking feeling that is the reason why they have the masks, she was always wondering why they had them. ”Seriously this is what the mask is for? To protect us from whatever that stuff is?” Diana thought to herself, her heart sank a bit. She put on her mask as quickly as possible, however, it was definitely highly claustrophobic to her but its the only thing that is keeping her from dying to whatever that stuff is. The only thing that gave her relief was hopefully every single person in her squad was wearing the mask because that shit is utterly terrifying since she saw how quickly it killed that civilian.

She couldn’t help but wonder what was the plan right now because she was kinda panicking at this point. The fear of being killed by her nation was definitely shocking, however, something else was going through her mind. She was about to walk out of her room in the inn, until she heard.

Bang!

She was shocked when she heard that noise, which probably meant there were still Imperials in the Inn Room. In terms of everything, this was definitely a shocking experience, however, when she opened her door, she heard and saw Britta talking to Michael and Lucia. She had a small sigh of relief that no one in her squad was killed, however, she heard what Britta had said and followed her Britta’s instructions. It would be better to stick with the group now instead of trying to find everyone else of her squad because she was definitely terrified with what is going on right now. However, she heard Jean’s voice order them to retreat as quickly as possible since the peace that they held for two days was shattered. It was an official shooting war again in Amone. She wondered how many civilians were killed by this attack by the Federation, which stabbed neutrality in the back. This definitely caused her to feel a bit despairingly on the Federation for the actions they did. She followed everyone to make sure she wouldn’t be left behind. Because this was utterly terrifying civilians dying left and right because of this so called gas.

Diana didn’t enjoy wearing this mask but its the only thing keeping her alive she thinks from the horrible weapon that was put on display. Her body language definitely showed she was definitely shocked at these events. ”I guess this is why my mother Rebecca outright… disliked the Federation or there’s other reasons for their not so patriotic behavior towards that entity.” Diana thought to herself, with a definite frown on her face. It was obvious that she was definitely rethinking her stance on the Federation and how patriotic she has been over the younger years of her life. This one single event is going to affect her throughout the rest of her life the Battle of Amone will live in infamy in her heart by what the Federation done. ”Let’s hurry like Jean said and ordered more or less for us to retreat. Because I don’t want to be here as much as everyone else. It’s… awful...” Diana said, trying to keep herself together. It would definitely be bad to break down here right now even though she almost had already before the retreat order.

Diana’s Brutal Reality – Hopeful – Amone City’s Walls (Sept. 11th)

---

Diana couldn’t help but depressingly sigh from the whole situation at hand, it was great she did talk about her issues. It took a bit until she heard Micheal start speaking about not being a psychologist and turning to her to speak more. She gave out a small giggle specifically at that since it was something of an obvious thing since not everyone is professional in certain fields. She heard every single thing that Michael spoke about and took a bit to give an answer. ”Umm… the love for my family’s ideals is something I have always tried to share to everyone. Everyone is equal no matter if they are a Darscen or not.” Diana said, not really understanding what he is meaning. She showed a bit of her naivety here since she had no idea what Michael is saying since he’s saying it in a way that makes her not understand what it is. It was going a bit over her head, since she never really had to think about this much when she was growing up. Her parents cared for her much and had many things to teach her but she was dead set on her goals.

She heard what he had to say next and kinda made her feel a bit like, oh, in terms of the look on her face. It made a bit more sense, in what he was saying even though it was a bit over her head. She heard specifically what he said afterwards and it made her be a bit shocked. ”You are saying my sisters and friends were being choked by my naivety about what was going on around me? Or that I should try harder to keep my friends and family together. With the ideals of the Vastergoth Family… Since my mother told me specifically why my ancestors in the Vastergoth family gave up the wealth for a simpler lifestyle because they didn’t want to fight the Donsters anymore in a military-esque stance anymore.” Diana said, with a slight gasp in shock afterwards. This caused her to stop being so depressed in what he specifically said because it caused her to think a bit about it. She remembered Susan blurted out that the Vastergoth Family used to be highly rich and that’s when Astra’s change happened and that was when she was only eleven years old.

Diana heard what Michael said next after he took a bit of a break, drinking his tea. The private ownership made her a bit confused but it makes sense since that’s why she was protected much through her childhood by her mother Rebecca. However, her mother finally opened up and showed that she was a drinker to Diana, it was alike her mother was a bit ashamed of her habit or something. The look on her face was a bit terrified for Astra, even though she outright told her to die in EW1. It even felt like her elder sister was serious about it. ”Uhh… yeah my sister Astra is a bit obsessive with money… It didn’t help Susan blurted out that the Vastergoth Family, 500 years ago used to be even richer than the Donster Family. But decided to get rid of that burden of fake happiness with whatever money can buy to a more ‘family focused’ happiness of being middle class. That is what my mother Rebecca told me and my father Gavin reinforced with a bit more reinforced understanding since he is a Vastergoth.” Diana said, with a bit of an understanding on why her sister became only wanting money for money sake.

She specifically heard what Britta had to say and the end of what she said specifically hurt her much because she wouldn’t want her own sister to be hurt by that bastard. It made her specifically cry because of that. ”I… should’ve tried harder to talk her out of it… but she… did something unforgivable alike what Richard did to me. She wished me to die in EW1. And told me she was going to cut off all ties with our family because of the absurdity that Susan apologized to me. It felt like she was truthful but there was an underlying feeling of regret to her voice but I couldn’t hear it since I ran out before she could’ve said anything else.. then after that that’s when I ran into Richard before my shipping out to Conscription training.” Diana said. It caused her to choke up much more since no sibling should wish death on their family member, but Astra did specifically that. ”I shouldn’t have ran out… on my sister… but… the shock… of her… wishing me to die… was too much for me. The reason why I dislike Fog so much… she loves it for some odd reason.” Diana said, with a regretful tone in her voice while she was crying.

Diana felt Michael touch her wrist, it was specifically this that made her slowly try to stop crying but the fact she brought up the wish of what Astra wanted so badly. It was a bit painful to remember that specifically, even though she had a dream of that and why she was so bitter when yesterday morning rolled around and it was foggy. However, what he had said made her a bit happier. ”Thank you… Micheal I have to agree should have not happened in the first place...” Diana said still a bit depressed and teary eyed. He reassured her with his last words to her about he prays that her sister Astra finds the errors of her own ways. ”I believed her every single bit of what she said… but I have a feeling she regrets what she had said to me but the heat of the moment… was fresh in the air during that time.” Diana said. This specific thing made her want to protect her family and friends at home more and all the new friends she met during EW1.

She couldn’t help but look into Britta’s eyes since she was closer to her now and was making proper contact with her. ”I will protect my family… more than ever now and try not to make the same mistakes I have made in the past since I couldn’t see past the constant bullying by my elder sisters to see they cared about me… but didn’t want me to be spoiled… but I didn’t listen. I thank you Britta for helping me to see there is hope in my sisters and family and try to look past all the bad things they have said or done to me.” Diana said, with a genuine smile on her face. It was mostly because of the fact she wanted to stop being how she was a naive non-listener to her sister’s worries about her. She was spoiled by her mother Rebecca and her father Gavin by how much attention they gave to her. It caused her to move her free hand and get out her silver pendant necklace out and show Michael and Britta the pictures within in the necklace. On the right was her mother Rebecca, and on the left is her father Gavin. ”My mother Rebecca and my father Gavin, they protected me throughout my entire childhood. Guess that’s why I am a bit naive about things, and why I didn’t understand what my sisters were trying to tell me. Or why anything happened but before all this happened my elder sister Astra used to help me with homework that I was being stuck on and she was highly intelligent about everything. It was a bit amazing she was able to help me with my math homework without breaking a sweat it impressed me. But then something changed in her that caused her to hate me...” Diana said, with a gentle smile while looking at her silver pendant necklace that was opened to some of her squad mates. It isn’t like her parents aren’t going to die or anything since they are safe at home in Castleton.

However, she heard the music in the background and couldn’t help but be confused and noticed that Reyna and Jean dancing and couldn’t help but giggle at the situation. It was mostly because she has never heard this type of music before. ”Uhh.. Reyna what is this kind of music?” Diana questioned to Reyna. It was pretty obvious she never heard it before because it made her a bit happier hearing something new. She was happy to see Jean having fun though, because he never had a smile that big.

Diana’s Brutal Reality – Moving past her fear – Amone City’s Walls (Sept. 11th)

---

Diana couldn’t help but still feel a bit regretful at ruining her parents anniversary of not having a hangover. It didn’t really help many things weren’t going right for her, it could’ve gone better. She definitely likes every single person in her squad. In terms of certain things, in the back of her mind none of this happened if she wasn’t highly patriotic and naive. It wouldn’t be right to try to change what happened in the past and live with her decision of being apart of this war. She still didn’t like the fact it was under threat of imprisonment in terms of how she got here via conscription. ”I should be more careful in what I do in the future. Got to be more fair than anything I guess? Even though mother tried to stop me from joining this awful war in the first place but you cannot stop a Vastergoth when they choose their path.” Diana thought to herself. In terms of that specific thing she thought, which caused her smile to reappear on her face.

She came out of her thoughts when Isaac addressed her about not shouting anymore. This helped her mood somewhat more, even though later on it would be in the drain again. ”Thank you Isaac for saying that. Hangovers aren’t really a great thing to have...” Diana responded to Isaac. It took her but a few moments until she heard Micheal’s response to her question, and smiled a little bit. In terms of everything, she was definitely tried, which is why she ordered a coffee and is drinking it now to awake her up. ”Yeah… didn’t like waking up with this hangover I still have. It’s a bit of a problem.” Diana said, with an ounce of regret of messing up the Vastergoth’s anniversary of not having a hangover. It hurts to do that to her family even though the only three people in her family that truly loves her with all their heart is her brother, mother and father. Her two older sisters are complete and utterly mean and hateful to her, but at least Susan did apologize to her.

However, there’s a specific man in question in her hometown that she wished she never crossed in her life. It was Richard Averring Donster, which threatened her and even slammed her against a wall because he hated her family specifically. She tried to forget what he did to her when he reintroduced himself on that one train, when she arrived to join the battle of Garnia Hill 58. It was an utter shock to see him on that train and him joining the military as an enlisted soldier and not conscripted like her, however, the biggest shock was he was nicer to her on that train than in Castleton. ”Why did he join the military? Did he want to keep his word of his threat or something… But I have no idea what is going on in his head… However, he was the most popular, the smartest and utterly has too many agendas because of his family’s name. That is what my brother told me.” Diana thought to herself, a bit confused about that. She couldn’t really figure out what that specific man thought of himself even though every single person in Castleton praised him. However, it was probably because they were afraid of him and what his last name is Donster. It irked her mostly because of his attitude in Castleton & On that train were completely different.

Diana snaps back to reality, only because she heard two specific questions about what’s wrong with her. The first person, which asked the question was Britta about what’s really wrong with her and the second was Michael. She couldn’t help but start crying because there’s a whole much wrong with her, but the major problem with her is Richard and what he said to her before she was sent to the Conscription Bootcamp. ”Uhhh… It’s the daydream I had before what I said. Because I was utterly helpless to defend myself from the man that scared the living shit out of me. I couldn’t do anything but allow him to torment me and call me really mean names, which insult what my family does in terms of protecting the values of Darscens in my hometown of Castleton.” Diana said, she was crying alike she was. It shook her a bit too much, her hands were shaking in fear alike that day specifically in that daydream, when she ran into Richard Averring Donster.

She breathed in and out for a few seconds to try to calm down a bit to continue. ”He is an unfeeling bastard, which threatened to kill me himself… but when I met him on the train to Garnia Hill 58. He was a bit ‘nicer’ to me it was weird. I have no idea why he did that… Oh yeah you might want to know whom he is… He makes what Luke said about Darscens tame in comparison to his hate of them, which is Richard Averring Donster. The most praised but most feared of them you could say in my hometown. I have no idea why he joined the war, while I was forced by conscription. Richard even threatened me to never tell my mother Rebecca… But my mother would easily find that out but I was shipped off to the Bootcamp right after that incident.” Diana said. It was a trying time, which is why she should’ve wrote to her parents but didn’t at all while on the train to Amone. However, she decided to stop being afraid of that bastard even though that little daydream didn’t help how much she was afraid of Richard. It’s constantly in the back of her mind that Richard will make due on his threat but she can’t really be afraid of not telling her mother since she’ll find out anyway. She is an open book and easily able to be read like one.

Diana continues to eat her food, nonetheless since she needs it. The coffee is definitely helping her in terms she only got very few hours of sleep that is. It’s kinda obvious why if someone heard her loudly in bed with Victoria. She was happy that this reminded her of home since her parents were always the ones that chatted while eating breakfast, lunch or dinner at home. They were a definitely happy family besides her elder sisters being very mean to her and calling her short or what not. She smiled happily just thinking on those days talking to her mother and father at the dinner table, it was really sweet. ”I miss chatting with my parents at the kitchen table talking about random things. It is the happiest moment of my life… then Astra had to ruin it… by marrying Richard, who’s an utter bastard. However, I think their wedding is after this war… Why did Astra have to be even more of a bitch than Susan? Susan actually apologized to me. The one thing I know… Astra outright cut off all ties with our family. All for money and wealth. Why does greed drives some people?” Diana asked. She had a depressed tone throughout when she said that her elder sister Astra had to ruin the happy family. The question she specifically asked was to the not stereotypical rich person who’s name is Michael. She wanted to tell Astra every single little thing wrong with her outright stupid belief system of believing the Donsters in their lies. Why would a Donster of all people marry a Vastergoth unless its to ruin my family’s reputation?” Diana thought to herself. She is just thinking about that since she doesn’t know the real reason why Astra and Richard would get married but knew Astra's reason but not Richard's.

Diana’s Brutal Reality – Something’s Bothering Her – Amone City’s Walls (Sept. 11th)

---

Diana’s mood lifted a little bit when she heard Jean say no more alcohol until their mission is completed. It went back down only because her hangover was thumping a bit hard and it caused her to cry some more because it hurts much. ”I dislike.. this… I will probably not drink as much as my mother drinks… in one day.” Diana thought to herself with tears going down her cheeks because of the fact her head hurts much. She had a slight frown on her face, since she’s mostly can’t really help not being happy right now. It was what Luke said at the end of when he was responding to Jean made her still not enjoy this.

She did notice Luke staring at her, which only caused her to cry more, it was only because of the fact her mood was pretty low already. It was because of how everything turned to shit in an instant, however, her thoughts were going a bit wild only to remember something ten times worse that was said to her by a whole different person. This specific person is literally the same person she met on the train heading to the Garnia Hill 58. It was no other than the bastard, Richard Averring Donster, one of the people who constantly gets into fights with her mother Rebecca constantly. However, what he said threw her for a loop, he told her things that she’ll find on the EW1 battlefield. ”Ugh… why am I remembering that bastard now? Luke is definitely not like Richard Averring Donster. If he was I would probably try to throw him under a bus if I was able to… I shouldn’t try to do anything to hurt Luke anymore...” Diana thought to herself, crying at the fact that Luke is just an asshole and not a bastard like Richard. This caused her specifically to go into a daydream right here, kinda wanting to get her mind off of what happened. Since she remembers every single thing that he said to her word for word.

---

Remembrance Flashback: The Bastard, Richard

Diana had a bit of a day ahead of her, with the fact she was supposed to be shipped out sooner than later to the Conscription Training Camp ran by a hard ass drill instructor. However, she bumped into a person who was in a hurry, he stopped and noticed whom bumped into him. He had that air of being an utter and complete dickhead that outright disliked when anyone of Diana’s caliber bumps into him. He sighed at being rudely interrupted on where he was going today, he was in a hurry. ”Ugh, why did you have to bump into me you fucking commoner scum… who has 100% Darscen Friends and doesn’t even know it.” He spoke in a highly arrogant tone and disgusted at the Darscen Lover. He didn’t like seeing any of the Vastergoth family in his way or outright disliked them altogether because the Feud is better to keep on hand.

Diana couldn’t believe she bumped into the one Donster family member that you shouldn’t bump into at all. In terms, she remembered her mother told her to avoid Richard like the plague since he’s always a bit on the asshole side. It took her to back away slowly and looked directly at him with an eye of why was he heading this way in the first place. ”Umm… why are you have to be a such a jerk, Richard… its not like my family is bad or anything.” Diana said with a scared tone to her voice. It was pretty much obvious she was terrified of Richard, her mother even told her to stay away from him at all costs since he usually gets into fights with her on occasion but he loses to her.

Richard laughs at Diana’s blatant attempt to diffuse the situation and remembers why he went this way. He couldn’t believe he has never met the youngest daughter of the Vastergoth Family before and laughed loudly. ”I must say, you should follow your mother’s advice more. There is a reason why I came this way is to knock you down a few pegs. I hope you can handle being hit like the whore you are.” Richard said, cracking his knuckles. He was mostly pissed because he was beaten by Diana’s mother Rebecca again and needed to blow off some steam. It took him to figure out something and laughs. ”Actually I change my mind… It would be better if you run from me and see if you can get back home before I kick your head so hard that you wish you were dead in a ditch somewhere.” Richard said, with a specific tone of being serious.

Diana saw his face and couldn’t help but fear what Richard would do to her since he has always wanted leverage against her mother. Her fear response kicked in and started to tear up and just fall down to the ground, in utter fear. She knew how fast Richard could run and she wouldn’t be able to do anything since he is older than her by two years since her birthday is on November Fifteen of this year. ”P-Please… don’t hurt me… R-Richard.” Diana spoke in tears and utterly in fear at the two year older male in front of her.

Richard saw this display and was utterly disappointed but this helped him. He didn’t really want go chasing down an absolutely ‘sheltered’ child to her home. It wouldn’t really help his family’s reputation that isn’t that good in the first place if he did anything to Diana physically. However, mentally he was gleefully smiling otherwise. ”Oh how wonderful you won’t run. I won’t do anything to harm that dreadfully ugly face. You probably won’t even able to please anyone reasonably good in your lifetime. You and your family are Darscen whores anyway, not a bond here no. If you were truly bonded with any of the cattle to a slaughter it would be utterly disgusting to ruin your ‘life’ to wed and give birth to a Darscen child.” Richard said, with utter disdain of Diana’s family being the Darscen protectors.

Diana heard all these insults coming from Richard and continued to cry about it. This was something she didn’t really like, first her elder sister Astra telling her to die in EW1 and never tell her that she’s literally marrying this prick. ”Y-You are a bastard Richard… And Darscens are human too, they have feelings and everything like us. It’s not like you, you are an unfeeling bastard.” Diana said. It was this point she saw a change in Richard’s whole stance, he was utterly angry specifically what she had said about Darscens. She was standing on that stance no matter what since that’s what the Vastergoth Family believes whole heartily.

Richard outright picked up Diana by the neck of her shirt and lifted her off the ground since she was definitely short. ”You listen here you little fucking bitch. If you say that in front of me again. I will utterly show you what hell on earth is like and no it’ll be ten times worse than where you should be going… in terms of Europa War I. You are utterly the most worthless and ugliest unhuman in the world I’ve seen. You think the Darscens have feelings and are humane? No, they should have everything taken from them. Friends, Family and Freedom because they are apart of the problem in the world, the crime is the highest in Francia and other places. Because of the Darscens.” Richard said, with a knowledge on his side and knows how ‘naive’ this child is. He holds Diana specifically like this for awhile, until he notices a specific wall. He slams her on the wall once with a bit of a grin on his face. ”Oh yeah… I must say if you ever tell your mother about this encounter in specific. I will find you. I will hunt you. I will kill you with all my power. It will be definitely a gift from the high command to end your life. I will be waiting and watching. Nothing will prepare you for when you have to die, you little bitch. I’ll give you an execution shot straight in the head, just because that’ll be the easiest for you to die.” Richard said with a heartily laugh.

Diana was utterly helpless when he picked her up off the ground, since he was like a really tall Castleton man. She has never really saw someone like him before, but his tallness comes at a disadvantage mostly because her mother knows how to defeat him. However, when he called her little it caused her to seethe in rage at what he called her. However, her eyes went wide when he literally threatened her with something that felt like he was going to slowly kill her throughout a decade. She couldn’t really feel like wanting to fight back even though he did piss her off. ”You are a fucking prick~” Diana said, being interrupted when she was slammed into the wall via her back being slammed. It hurts it caused her to continue to cry, and she really felt like he was going to murder her right here and now for pissing him off. However, he told her specifically what he was going to do to her, however, the threat in specific was pretty much set in stone for her. She couldn’t help but cry and nod her head while staring at the evil bastard in her face.

Richard specifically let Diana down and looked at her. ”Good thing I threatened all her Darscen Friends to never tell Diana that she’s utterly beautiful… haha. It is pretty obvious no one can handle my genius. They didn’t really want to lose their livelihoods of living since they would have to write a suicide note and then be shot in the back of the head.” Richard thought to himself, with a slightly different look on his face. He was about to walk away and then gives her a specific look on his face, of ‘I will be watching you.’ ”Oh yeah Diana. I hope you enjoy your last days on this Earth. Since you have much time to lose that Naivety you have there. I would love to see you drunk and hopeless on the side of the street so my parent’s private army can take advantage of you.” Richard said, with the knowledge she has no idea what he thought and would never tell her mother. It would be the only thing that he has over the little bitches’ mother for once in his life. Even though he was joking about killing her and shooting her in the head, however, this naive little kid doesn’t know that specifically. He was pretty much wasn’t going to watch her either since he didn’t really like watching a kid that had the same stink that the Darscens have. ”Darscens and Vastergoths have one thing in common they both smell the same...” Richard thought to himself.

Diana couldn’t help but feel like Richard was thinking something evil and cruel to do to her, it didn’t really sit well with her not knowing what he was thinking about. It caused her to realize that he knows everything about her probably, just by looking at her once. She would keep this shame of being utterly threatened by Richard Averring Donster. She did notice a slight hint of something else, as if he was joking about something, but couldn’t really put her finger on it. It was mostly because of how older people joke is over her head. While her jokes are innocent and cute. She opened her eyes wide, which made her cry and couldn’t help but make her run away from the cruelest person she has ever met in her life. However, she would meet someone WORST on the Battlefield, in terms of her commanding officer, which she calls Captain Grumpus because of what Isaac said.

---

She snapped back into reality from her daydream/flashback of when she first ever met the worst person in history. What he did specifically to her mentally and physically is nothing to what Luke did to her. Luke is a troubled individual whom she now knows that his mother is dead, which caused her a bit of mental trauma. She’ll leave him alone for a bit since he’ll probably needs to think over, however, this makes her question her inner thoughts in why he looked at her specifically. ”Did he never see a girl cry before? But I won’t bug him...” Diana thought to herself. She heard Luke be utterly annoyed at Isaac’s plan to play cards and marched out of the inn since he wanted to deal with the mission at hand of destroying the tunnels. It caused her to cry since she’s a bit frustrated in what she did, and couldn’t help but feel a bit worst for what transpired. She looked around the room and noticed Victoria, which caused her to remember what she said before they woke up.

Diana specifically was trying to hold her cute little giggles in what Victoria said. The good morning and what was after about getting used to the hangovers. The pain of the headache wasn’t something she would ever want to try again, however, she is definitely a lightweight in that specific thing. However, she remembered seeing that pendant necklace around Victoria’s neck. ”Victoria having a daughter… I hope she does get to see her daughter again.” Diana thought to herself, with a slighter happier mood on her face. However, she noticed that Victoria in question walked out of the inn to talk to Luke. ”Uuuhhh… I hope she doesn’t do anything to mean to Luke. He did make me be in shock and horror that I found out that his mother was dead. However, it could’ve been so much worse…” Diana thought to herself, with a look of a bit of worry with a bit of annoyance at her hangover not allowing her to move that much. Her head still hurts much from that ‘party’ you could say she had when unlocking her emotions towards her older sisters. They deserve the hate that they require from her. It took her a bit to notice that Jean was sitting by Reyna and chatting to her about things, however, all she could do was smile at them where she was sitting. Reyna’s cup of tea yesterday, was definitely a good thing to have to drink before her defeat at the hands of Victoria, whom was much more prepared to drink much. She sighed a bit that she was too much of a lightweight in drinking alcohol it took her six drinks in total to start slurring her words.

She, however, didn’t want to interrupt their conversation between the two specifically. It took her a bit to notice Micheal walking in the room, with a slight annoyed tone in his voice. She cutely giggles at what he said since it made sense because her mother Rebecca is quite loud too. The Vastergoth’s are a very unique family since they can’t really be settled in to quickly, it’s mostly because of the fact, her mother does tons of Bar Tours in Castleton. The only time her parents are settled is when they are at the dinner table having a nice quiet chat with their children. ”Hi Micheal, how are you doing today?” Diana asked curiously towards Michael. In her mind, Michael and Lucia is the cutest couple ever in the Squad 1. It is a cute thought that only passes her mind when she sees Michael or Lucia. She couldn’t help but notice he was ordering tea and being completely telling them he only wants tea this way. It caused her to be reminded that Jean told her that Michael is pretty much rich, but a nice guy. In terms of her only run in with a rich person, it made her be slightly reminded about her daydream about what happened to her when she bumped into Richard. He was the stereotypical Rich Asshole that wanted all Darscens to die in a fire. It didn’t help that he slammed her against a wall while holding her up, in terms of things, she was lucky her back was only bruised and no broken bones or that would have been a whole hell much worse.

Diana reminding herself about Richard and the Donster Family as a whole made her cry and it definitely feel like something else was bothering her. It was much more serious than what Luke did, and this crying had a bigger fear response. ”I… don’t… want… to... feel… helpless again.” Diana said, with something clearly bothering her. She spoke a bit quietly but her body language showed that something else was bothering her than what Luke had said to her earlier it was like she had remembered something awful. It took her a moment for the waitress to give Diana her food and coffee, which she was waiting for awhile now. She thanked the waitress for the food and coffee and smiled gently towards the waitress, even though she was still crying. In terms of things, she started to drink her coffee and the caffeine definitely helped her mood a bit. She used her fork to eat the sausage on the plate, the Breakfast food definitely looked great. Ironic enough this is how she usually eats her breakfast at home, she’s a bit particular about how she eats her food in the morning hours. Even though her mother usually yells at her to eat the eggs first. It took her to feel a bit better but the hangover was still there, her mood was picked up a bit. She was still in tears for what she had said, before she started to eat her breakfast. You could tell something was bothering her, it was clear as day.

Diana’s Brutal Reality – Revelation & Reprimanded – Amone City’s Walls (Sept. 11th)

---

Diana was sobbing slightly mostly because of the fact, her hangover really hurts. It didn’t help she wishes she didn’t drink but she did anyway. Her family as a whole is weird when it comes to alcohol, however, she heard Luke talk about his food. It definitely was good to hear since the army’s rations were a bit not that good to what she usually eats at home comparability. ”I have to say I can’t wait for the food I ordered then...” Diana said, with a bit of a respite. However, then his insult of her height came into the picture, which definitely didn’t help her already soured mood. It still got to her mostly because it was an insult or whatever advice he would probably call it. ”Ugh… I am too much having a raging hangover to not yell at you for calling me short, Luke…” Diana said, with one her left hand on her forehead.

It took her a bit by surprise, when Luke specifically looked at her with an annoyed glare and spoke towards her. She heard what he had said and that shocked her to the core of her being because no one in her life ever asked for death in a literal sense. However, she couldn’t help but shake and be highly nervous and feel her hangover hit her a bit harder than normal since Luke was yelling at her. ”Uhhhh… S-S-Scary...” Diana said, a bit speechless and with a fear response in how angry he was. It didn’t help that she did ‘start’ this by asking specifically this but didn’t think she would get a reaction like this. However, what he had said next shocked her because she didn’t know that his mother was dead. It was definitely a revelation to say the least, but he didn’t like how he said it specifically to her in terms of how much she enjoys to hear herself speak. ”I-I… d-didn’t k-know… y-you don’t have to be so m-mean L-Luke…” Diana said.

However, she couldn’t really say anything else since she heard Jean start reprimanding her and Luke and she looked a bit depressed. It wasn’t the fact he was right in what he was saying. ”Y-Yes Jean… I shouldn’t have started it…” Diana responded to Jean’s question. She was definitely crying now and it wasn’t because of her hangover but she couldn’t really focus on anything else since Luke was being a bit meaner to her than usual. It took most of her from utterly breaking down right there because she wasn’t in the right place right now. She looked at Jean when he mentioned not to make things harder for everyone. ”I-I understand… I won’t try to… be so… painstakingly annoying to Luke…” Diana said, with a bit of a depressed tone in her talking. However, then the other NCO came up to the plate and more or less agreed with what Jean had to say, in terms of Isaac. She put her head on the table, since she couldn’t help but continue to cry quietly since her head definitely hurt. ”You are right… as well. It wouldn’t be a good idea to degrade our humanity enough to become the splitting image of Captain Grumpus. I got you, Isaac.” Diana said, with a bit of tears going on the table since she had her head on the table.

It was a bit weird in what he said afterwards, specifically the game he suggested they play. She had never allowed to play poker, mostly because her mother Rebecca never allowed her to try. It was a curious thing to try, however. ”Increase our morale by playing a game I have never played? I’ve heard of Poker, but my mother Rebecca never allowed me to play it not even once. She was very strict on that type of game… I don’t know why she allowed me to play other games… or draw.” Diana responded to Isaac, however, her voice and tone was a bit curious in what it is. It helped her to move her head off the table even though she was crying a bit. The next thing he said, or more like yelled definitely didn’t help her hangover and she started crying even more because of the loud noise coming from Isaac’s voice. She glared at him, like, why did you do that are you stupid or something. ”I have a hangover, and why did you have to yell in specifically that? Can you lower your voice, please, Isaac? I am interested but no yelling give me your word you won’t be yelling...” Diana said, having one of the blinder of a headache right now since her hangover was throbbing even more so than it was. She had to put both of her hands on her head because of the headache/hangover increased in intensity and she hadn’t had something that was going to help her. It felt like she was going deaf with how loud Isaac was. ”I would love to be able to still hear… damn it.. first Luke saying his mother is dead… or seeing Jean be a bit more authority driven. I don’t know which one is more shocking… Probably both really… It’s not like I am a mind reader and can see into someone’s mind...” Diana thought to herself, and she wasn’t starring at anyone really.

Diana felt really bad for pissing off Luke but she did say she wouldn’t bug him unless he was going to join a Card game. ”I might as well ask, if you don’t mind. How do you play cards?” Or whatever we are going to play...” Diana said, with a bit of an oddity of curiosity to her voice. However, in the back of her mind, she was a bit hopeful it wouldn’t have any type of ‘bets.’ But she then remembers Isaac did say, ‘I’m not a betting man.’ She gave out a small sigh of relief in she hoped she remembered correctly about what had Isaac had said. It wouldn’t be a great idea to be wrong and have what happened last night would happen again. That wasn’t a good experience she didn’t want to have repeat again, which is for sure. ”Ugh, I still wonder what that mask is for…” Diana thought to herself, since that mask feels a bit eerie to be carrying it around everywhere. However, that was in the back of her thoughts, mostly because she had more important things to worry about, mostly the fact her head is pounding with a hangover.

Diana’s Brutal Reality – Exploring – Amone City’s Walls (Sept. 10th)

---

Diana was laying on Victoria’s bed completely nude, thinking on what Victoria had said earlier. It made her all flustered and embarrassed because it was a bit much for her to think about. She was giggling at what Victoria had said about Luke in particular. ”What would Rebecca say about this situation? Oh right… it could be worse...” Diana thought to herself, while trying to think on it. However, it did make her a bit blushing in how, Victoria wrapped her arms around her waist. Her face was even more red than remembering what Victoria had said to her earlier. She wondered why she was so flustered by Victoria of all people, which she barely knew for one. Or was it because she was under the influence of alcohol or her personality needed someone to poke at it. These were big questions, which she was a bit too afraid to tell her mother Rebecca.

Her thoughts were still going on what happened earlier, in terms of what Victoria had said to her. She did remember seeing Victoria’s face be surprised in what she had said about her kissing her childhood friend on the lips because she was crying. It was pretty much obvious she was blushing, since she remembered what Victoria was doing before she came to her bedroom, in terms of touching her stomach. ”Uhhh, everything that Victoria said to me before coming up here to lay on the bed was sweet. Even a bit lusty I guess, that’s the word?” Diana thought to herself, thinking about what Victoria will do to her in the bed. She couldn’t help but be completely flustered and outright with a cute little smile. She kept her eyes opened because she didn’t know how long Victoria would be gone for.

It felt like time passed very slowly, however, she saw the door opened and Victoria getting naked. She was a bit shocked at the reaction to Victoria reacting to her naked body, it made her blush really red. ”You are my mistress… I had a lot to think about while you were away, Victoria.” Diana responding to her sorry with a bit of a cute tone to her voice. It was obvious she was blushing really hard. However, what Victoria had said next took her by surprise since she meant it, no one has ever complimented her body in that way. It made her to have watery eyes and start crying a bit because Victoria is the first woman to ever compliment her instead of insulting her. ”N-No, you are the first person to tell me that...” Diana said, teary eyed, cutely and felt her heart skip a beat when Victoria told her that. It was only because of the tone in Victoria’s voice that made her heart skip a beat.

She was blushing hard and felt Victoria wrap her arms around her, which made her wrap her arms around her. Diana couldn’t really put a finger on anything really, her eyes was staring into Victoria’s eyes. The care in Victoria’s voice made her feel a bit safer and couldn’t help but blush. ”I don’t mind, you can pick fast or slow Victoria… Thank you for that reassurance, about that.” Diana responded cutely. In the back of her mind before Victoria kissed her, it was screaming at her why did you let Victoria choose. She was taken aback at when Victoria kissed her deeply and it was pretty amazing for her. It was like something she never felt before because her childhood friend Anna and her were pretty inexperienced when they kissed for the first time. ”Oh my god… is this what it is like to kiss a woman who knows what they are doing? I wonder what Rebecca will say. Oh wait… Did I just say that… Uhhhhh… Why did I allow my mistress right now to pick fast or slow?” Diana thought to herself, utterly in shock right now that she finally realized in what she said earlier. However, she was mostly shocked in how much of a good kisser Victoria is.

Diana was wanting to enjoy herself in the arms of Victoria, which she always wanted from her childhood friend Anna. However, her friend was shy at showing her feelings but was being a bit more open for the five times she had kissed Anna, five different days. Her mother Rebecca always was a bit worried that someone would take advantage of her daughter’s bluntness and naivety. In this case, her bluntness definitely got her in trouble, with Victoria and that drinking bet didn’t help much. She did feel the warmth of Victoria. She moved her head back after that deep kiss by Victoria, so she could speak. ”Y-Your amazing Victoria. I feel relaxed with you… It’s on the tip of my tongue though, unless you have a word for it?” Diana questioned Victoria, her face was blushing redder than the sun. She was literally allowing herself to get lost in Victoria’s knowledge of everything.

Morning of September 11th, 1914 EC

It was in the morning, since she was awoken by the sun peaking into the room, with her breasts still uncovered since she wasn’t able to get her clothes on. Just because of the fact how much Victoria and her did things that she was still blushing at for this specific fact. It was still amazing how gentle she was even for being a 6’3” woman. However, she moved her head a bit and felt a pain swell in her head, which made her remember that she drank six beers in a row and got hammered enough. It made her feel like utter shit right now since she remembered what her mother Rebecca specifically said, ’Do not ever get a bloody hangover Diana.’ This made her eyes go wide, and curse a little under her breath. ”There goes having another anniversary of never getting a hangover… since I ruined it… great.” Diana spoke quietly hoping not to wake Victoria. However, the last night kinda flowed in her head and her specifically was loud, hopeful no one heard her and Victoria enjoying each other. It didn’t help that Diana was pretty inexperienced since she had never once tried but Victoria helped her explore herself.

Diana was blushing a bit too much, however, she did remember the reassurance that Victoria told her, however, she stayed because she wanted to. It was the compliment that definitely got her to stay, Victoria was definitely knew what to say at the right time. She couldn’t stop thinking about what happened it caused her to be utterly flustered and embarrassed at what they did do. In terms, she felt like she was more in control of her body and could finally tell her mother she’s definitely bisexual. It was going to stay with her that she enjoyed Victoria’s lessons a bit too much though. ”I should really get on my clothes… so I can get something to eat..” Diana said, cutely. She couldn’t help but agonize when she got up since her hangover was pretty bad, it felt like she was walked on by a ten ton elephant or something.

It took her a bit to get out of bed since this was the worst feeling in the world for her. She hadn’t thought to much ahead about asking her mother about a remedy for hangovers, but that would admit to her mother she wanted to get hammered drunk like her mother. It took her slowly to get dressed, since she was pretty much cursing under her breath every single time she moved her head a bit too fast. She looked directly back at Victoria who was on the bed, which was definitely a sight. ”Victoria… thank you for the experience. Also sorry that I was a bit loud, I hope no one heard us while we were a bit… loud. I think I finally understand what Jean meant when he was talking about Ines and her loudness.” Diana said, cutely giggling and was definitely happier, besides having a blasted hangover.

She opened the door, very quietly and shut it so Victoria could get dressed since yeah. It wouldn’t be really nice if someone saw Victoria naked, it would be unfair since she didn’t lose. However, that made her blush at thinking what the staff would say seeing her again. It was good she was a much more open about her feelings and taking control of what she didn’t understand about herself helped. She sighed with a bit of regret at the fact her family will never have another anniversary on not having a hangover. ”Ugh… I hope Luke didn’t hear me and Victoria enjoy ourselves… together. Hmm.. I wonder what Jean is up too...” Diana thought to herself, with a sweet smile on her face. She took it slow and steady to get into the bar area and noticed the jerk himself eating a plate of food, which is Luke. It annoyed her a bit but she couldn’t help but give him a bit of a jab in the morning. ”Oh look its the prodigal loser, how is your food? How do anyone deal with a hangover because its quite painful right now for me… It felt like I was walked on by an elephant or something.” Diana said, with a bit of her usual self, only to notice Ines talking to Jean. She looked kindly towards the Barkeep and smiled. ”I want the same as he’s having.” Diana said, with a slight smile.

The barkeep smiled back in return and looked Diana with a bit of an annoyance since he already dealt with another one of her squad mates. ”Do you want a coffee?” The Barkeep responds to her request, even though he did remember that she made a fool of herself. Diana nods to his offer of coffee since it would be better than nothing right now since she wants to not drink another drop of alcohol anyway. The Barkeep was pleasantly surprised that Diana accepted his offer to give her coffee.

Diana deeply sighs and looks a bit at Luke and then at his food. She remembers that both of them lost to Victoria and was a bit curious about something he said before they got into Anome that is. In terms of how he utterly tried to brush off her words, it was specifically that, which made her curious about the asshole. ”I have a question Luke. What is up with you and why are you such an asshole in the first place? Do you miss your mother. I do miss my mother Rebecca since she’s a bit of a loose cannon sometimes but I love her.” Diana said, with a lighthearted grin on her face, hoping this would cheer him up. She wanted all her squad mates not to be in a piss poor mood even though she has a hangover right now. It was a good time to relax and be a bit more happier at everything, however, she did not know the thing she wrought on herself by saying those exact words to Luke. She walked over to Ines and Jean and smiled a bit happier, even though she was still holding her head because of the hangover it hurts much.

It took her a bit to look at each of them thinking exactly what she had said to Jean the day before. She decided she was going to not keep it a secret and tell Reyna at least since Kalisa has been quiet. ”Hi Jean and Ines… How was your sleep? I wish I didn’t have this blasted hangover… how do people stand these?” Diana asked, asking about the hangovers to Ines’ primarily since Jean doesn’t drink at all. She couldn’t help but blush thinking about her experience with Victoria, it was bubbling up to the surface only to shrink back down again. It didn’t help that anyone could read her really well. ”Jean, remember what we talked about yesterday? I think I am going to be honest with the others...” Diana said, with a cute little giggle coming out of her mouth. It was a bit of a cute thing for her to say, since honesty is always the best policy in between people you like, and she definitely is into Jean. She decided to sit down at a table, which was close enough to Jean and Ines talking but could hear Luke telling her his feelings about what she said. ”I am starving hopefully my food gets here so I can eat. Also please don’t yell to loudly I have a hangover.” Diana said, trying to keep quiet since she’s a bit out of it since she has a hangover. She started to cry a bit because of her ruining her family’s 500 years of never having a hangover. It took her a bit to look at Ines and Jean probably wondering why she is crying. ”I’m crying because of the fact I ruined the 500 years of never having a hangover. In my family’s history, my mother Rebecca is going to be so mad at me for ruining it. It’s an anniversary we have on this day from 1414 to now… and I ruined it… I am not a good daughter...” Diana said crying. She couldn’t help but cry at this specific thing, but her crying wasn’t helping her hangover much because it hurts like crazy now.

The Sanctuary

_{In the Sanctuary
Interacting With: Vilkas (@GrizzTheMauler), Voltaire (@Ithradine)}

---

Stephanie couldn’t help but hear Voltaire speak a bit rudely to her as if he didn’t want any conversation in the morning. As if he has a specific routine when he first wakes up. All she could do was a bit a gentle smile towards him, but couldn’t help if she poked a bear of a great anger or rage. ”Uhhh.. did I piss him off somehow? I was only trying to be friendly.” Stephanie thought to herself with a bit of a look on her face of sorry towards Voltaire. In terms of her reaction to what he had said, made her a bit worried if she shouldn’t have been too friendly and said hello, unless this is how he usually is. ”Voltaire, thanks for the chat.” Stephanie said, with a gentle smile nonetheless. She was visibly a bit worried in how she was moving, since she always tries to be the friendliest person ever.

In terms of everything, she was really distracted with the choices of her words to Voltaire and hopefully he would be a bit more approachable later. It’s pretty much obvious she didn’t understand why he’s so angry and doesn’t like conversation this early in the morning. She heard Vilkas speak about her weapon’s elemental affinity being brash, which is definitely saying much since her mother forced it upon her. Her mood, however, improved when he said she would be more with water or even air, which made her smile happily at what he said. ”Thank you Vilkas… In terms of saying water first since it is my element of choice… that’s what I primarily use. My mother’s Firebrand Rapier, is a bit unwieldy for me since it has a mind of its own… it seems. Sure you can look at the weapon. My Mother Rita and my father Derrick outright forced me to wield their elemental weapons I didn’t have a choice in what I want at all… Rita kinda told me that Water is too safe or bubbly is what she called it...” Stephanie said, a bit down at saying what her mother exactly said about Water, which is her element of choice to use. She lifted up her mother’s weapon, which started to hum in a slight strange noise since it was alike it was ‘actively’ fighting Stephanie’s grasp or something. The Rapier was definitely a bit more unwieldy than a rapier should be, it was built as if it was for killing and not ‘friendly’ sword play. ”My father’s weapon is called the Icebrand Short sword...” Stephanie said since she outright dislikes the Short sword a bit more since its backfires are the worst to deal with.

Stephanie didn’t really want to hold the Firebrand Rapier any longer since her hand was shaking a bit because of all the bad memories was flowing back to her. It was mostly because of when she was training with it and the Icebrand Short sword. She was utterly not happy right now but she sat down after Vilkas took it off her hands and started to eat her breakfast next to him. ”I… don’t like… how my parents were trying to make me into a killer...” Stephanie said. It’s pretty amazing all the time she was using the weapons she never once killed someone, the nickname she got from the Sword was enough to keep them away from her at least. She’s somewhat grateful she kept her child-like appreciation and being so open with everyone definitely helps. It caused her more pain than anything leaving her hometown but had to do it to completely lose the dread of having something awful to her. It was specifically the reason why she went to the Sanctuary in the first place.

Diana’s Brutal Reality – Jean Admits – Amone City’s Walls (Sept. 10th)

---

Diana had a smile on her face, while see was staring at Jean. Her thoughts were going everywhere, in what Jean was readying himself to tell her, however. She was blushing hard when she heard Jean say specifically that it made her definitely embarrassed at what he said. In terms of the words, all she could really fathom to speak was three little words. ”O-Oh my… J-Jean...” Diana said, with a highly embarrassed look on her face. She couldn’t stop blushing redder than a tomato after what he had said to her. In terms, she saw Jean blushing as well and she cutely giggled at that because it was absolutely sweet to see him blush. She heard his apology and ask how she was doing. ”I’m doing pretty good. Jean you are definitely helping my mood in being more positive.” Diana said, with a sweet smile on her face. Her face was still bright red as it could be even though the additional of the smile.

She could see him having trouble with what she asked of him earlier, it was in her best interest to know how he thought of them. In terms, when he started to speak about each person in question, which started with Luke. She couldn’t help but agree with what he said, since she dislikes hearing bigotry that outrageous it offends her parents beliefs. It then came to the Oceania squadmates, she hasn’t really talked to Thomas but its nice to know what Jean thinks of him. However, she has talked to Freya once or twice on the train, and she was definitely pleasant to talk to. Freya’s smile was definitely heartwarming when she was having trouble sleeping on the train that is. When he spoke about Michael and Lucia in the same sentence made her let out a small aww out of her lips. They were a definite cute together, even though Lucia being drunk was pretty funny besides. ”Michael is a philanthropic individual, does that mean he’s rich alike Reyna? Guess that’s why he is so smart. I do know he’s a religious person at least. Anome is his religion’s capital so to speak.” Diana thought to herself. She did put her foot in her mouth while talking to him before and did say sorry about it at least. In terms of everything, she was blushing when Jean was starring at her again, before he started talking again.

Diana continued to listen to Jean speak about what he thought about everyone. She hasn’t really talked to the new recruits that much either in terms of Gwyn, anyway. However, when he said something about Franz that has similar weight as Jean it made her a bit curious. The thing that made her giggle a bit was when he spoke about Ines and ability to be quite loud, it took her a bit and ask. ”Loud? In what way...” Diana said, unaware that Ines and Franz had sex. It would make sense in why she could smell a different type of alcohol on her breath though. She had just realized before Jean came down here Isaac was watching the crowd was blushing a bit much at the fact. It was one of the many things she regretted now every single person in the bar area saw her naked besides Jean and Reyna. She was blushing really hard right now, however, she did notice he hasn’t talked about Reyna, Kalisa and her yet. It definitely was odd to leave Reyna, Kalisa and her for last, usually people usually talk about the girls first. The biggest reason for her thinking the opposite is because she could talk about all the friends she had, even though they are only female and Darscen. ”Uhhh… I wonder what he is going to say about Reyna, Kalisa and me. I wonder...” Diana thought to herself, with a super curious highly blushing face.

She was blown away with specifically with what Jean had said, her heart skipped a beat in what he just admitted to. Her face turned so red, it was redder than the sun and she had to breath out slowly or she might faint from her mind being completely off what he would have said. It took her a bit to calm down so she could respond to what Jean had said. ”J-Jean…I-I am really surprised a-at that… Uuuhhhhh… J-Jean… You are sweet and I-I will never forget what you said to me.” Diana said flustered beyond belief and a bit teary eyed. She thought Jean didn’t like her or rejected her but hearing those words from Jean was definitely a great thing to her. ”I am going to keep you in my heart for my whole life Jean, because that must’ve taken much to admit too.” Diana said, flustered still and couldn’t help but smile sweetly at Jean. She was cutely smiling and giggling a bit, it was grateful she wasn’t passed out drunk right now. When he told her to ignore what he said, all she could do is smile and giggle cutely. ”Honesty is the best policy, what my mother Rebecca always says.” Diana said, cutely as a response.

Diana had her thoughts going in many different ways, however, the one important thing to this entire thing. It was like written on her forehead, but in how easy she’s too easy to read nonetheless. She stopped for a second and breathed in and out for a second, and gave him a big beautiful smile on her face. Even though this was the first time a guy ever said anything to this respect to literally admitting to her that he has an attraction to three girls at the same time. The silence was definitely something in terms her mind was working really quickly to think of a response other than she already said. However, nothing came crossed her mind since she was a bit lost for words since all she said was said before. ”Damn it… this is all so exciting for me… should I tell Reyna and Kalisa? Uuuhhhh… That would probably embarrass Jean even more if I did.” Diana thought to herself. It made her realize what she should say. ”I’ll keep this a secret if you want me to unless you are going to tell the other two girls yourself one of these days, Jean. If they don’t get me to tell them by complimenting me or someone else blurting it out…” Diana said, with a gentle smile on her face. She was somewhat serious about this but somewhat teasing Jean with what she said.

It took a bit and she noticed Lucia poking Jean and all she could do was aww at her specifically. The drunken little girl was here. After awhile, she heard what Jean had said. ”Oh okay, I hope you have a goodnight sleep Jean. I will definitely remember this night for as long as I live.” Diana said, with a smile on her face. When he patted her head all she could do was blush much at this, which made her almost forget about Victoria. However, speak of the devil, she felt her shoulder had someone’s head on it and the voice that came was a thick Oceanic voice. She shuddered in utter realization that she’s still a slave to Victoria. ”Crap… I almost forgot about that… and mother would be mad at me if I don’t keep my end of the deal...” Diana thought to herself, with a realization on her face. It took her a few seconds to think over what she’ll say to her mistress and felt a bit faint at the order, which Victoria gave her. It was obvious, whom she was speaking about about ‘friend’ the other slave in question, which is Luke. She shakes her head a bit. ”It would be better mistress if I just go alone to your room. He was a sissy… I kissed my childhood friend Anna. Because she was crying… The kiss helped her mood since she was crying much. And she’s a Darscen too.” Diana said, with a bit of righteous fury of how badly Luke kissed her and how embarrassed he was. Subconsciously, she was trying to protect him but one doesn’t forget the insult of her height. However, after a bit of realization she literally blurted out that she said she kissed her childhood friend Anna on the lips because she was crying. In her whole body, she shaken a bit with a bit of rage. ”Uuuhhhh… I’ll go to your room now since I am tired.” Diana said, with a bit of a flushed face and couldn’t help but feel that Luke will be appearing in Victoria’s room no matter what.

Subconsciously, Diana couldn’t help but after the cute conversation with Jean of all people, she gets interrupted by Victoria of all people. It caused her to say one dumb thing after another, specifically why she was disappointed in Luke’s kissing mainly because Anna is better at it than him. She wants to save herself for Jean, which is primarily the reason why she didn’t want Luke up in Victoria’s room mainly. ”Uhhhh…. This is going swimmingly. Wish I never got into this bet or challenge…” Diana thought to herself, with her face completely red even more so than normal, outright telling Victoria about that one sweet little thing she done for her Darscen friend. She sighed and started to walk up the stairs and walks into specifically Victoria’s room, and taking off her clothes for her mistress. It had a definite shift in her mood from excited and happy to suddenly having a weirdest thing happen to her and making her feel like she should go through with it. She was pretty much hopeful no one would drag Luke to here so she couldn’t see Luke’s dong again because he was a bit much of a dick. ”I can’t believe I am in Victoria’s room of all things, naked… I guess I should get on the bed I suppose… If Luke comes through that door I will smack him hard...” Diana thought to herself with a bit of a sigh. She laid on Victoria’s bed and in the back of her mind only could think of Jean instead of what’s going on right now. It was the most awful thing she had to do to herself. She wanted to lose her virginity to Jean and not Luke.

Diana’s Brutal Reality – Taken off-guard – Amone City’s Walls (Sept. 10th)

---

Diana had a specific thought in her head, which caused her happiness. It was in essence all about all the new people she got to meet. While one of them she still wants to hit really hard in the face, since he’s an asshole. It was mostly because she dislikes being called short and has a bit of an insecurity about her height because of what her elder sisters constantly bashing her size. ”Ugh, getting reminded about my sisters is the worst… why did Luke of all people have to do that? It’s a real sore spot for me since I’m not going to grow anymore taller.” Diana thought to herself, which helped her smile and continue to drink her water. It was definitely better to drink water than drink alcohol right now. She was hopeful someone would ban alcohol for tomorrow at the inn since she doesn’t want to slur her words again, even though she’s highly embarrassed at it. It was pretty much obvious she couldn’t help but shyly blush at remembering that.

She could notice that Jean sat down and moved closer to her, which made her blush a bit harder at what he was doing. However, she was taken off guard by what he had said specifically, which made her heart skip a beat in response. It took her a bit to respond to what Jean had said, however, it came to her. ”Uuhhh… Jean I do like when you stare… that is… but it seems like you are getting better at flirting.” Diana responded to his flirt with a goofy smile and blushing redder than a tomato. It caused her to giggle since he’s pretty much a sweet guy that definitely helping her forget about what happened earlier with that drinking competition. She pretty much wishes she never started to drink alcohol but she had a feeling Jean wouldn’t speak to her. It is in her blood more or less to at least try to drink alcohol. She couldn’t help but take a bit to think on a response to his question, until it came up in her thoughts. ”Yeah, I do have a question. What’s your thoughts on everyone? I want your honest opinion on them. Because I enjoy the fact you are a corporal and not someone who would be more rigid alike Captain Grumpus, since he’s a bit of a meanie.” Diana spoke quietly towards Jean, mostly on the Captain Grumpus part. It’s mostly because of the fact it was something she wanted to hear from Jean. ”You do have beautiful eyes, Jean.” Diana said, giving a compliment and flirting with him.

Diana was cutely giggling specifically at that because she smiled every time she saw him stare at her. ”I am sorry that I was a bit of a grump when I woke up earlier, but fog gets me down it’s mostly because of what my elder sister Astra said to me before I left to this war. I so would like to tell her off for what she did specifically to me and my family. I hope the Federation doesn’t do anymore things that will destroy my faith in them. My mother Rebecca is probably throwing a fit right now since I haven’t wrote her back… I should’ve read up on the war before I got here but I was a head in the clouds type child throughout most of my life because of the constant bullying by my older sisters. I have to get this off my chest a bit sorry for that but I am grateful to you for being here and saving me on the hill so I can tell my elder sisters off when I get back home.” Diana said, kinda regretted her mood before they found this inn. She was speaking through her heart since it was highly time that she saw everything for what it is and not what it was in her mind. Being stuck in the clouds imagining killing imperials is different from actually taking someone’s life alike what she did on the Hill, that part of her is terrified what this war will do to her. It’s alike a bit of a sour taste in her mouth that she doesn’t really like but she cannot go back home until it is done. ”The friends I made in this unit outweigh what my elder sisters did to me when I was younger. The experiences outweigh any hardship you can get and I think everyone in this unit feels the same way. We are friends and will be for all time. Even though you are handsome, Jean.” Diana said, with a happy smile on her face, and blushed a bit more at what she said at the end. This was definitely helping her forget Luke specifically since that was god awful experience, even though she still wants to slap him really hard on the face, mostly because of insulting her height that is.

She cutely sighed at her getting stuff off her chest, even though she was definitely happy about just talking to Jean. It’s one of the things she always want to do talk to Jean, even though she did bring up Middleton who stole their joy. ”You are a lovely person Jean. Also, you are the sweetest guy I’ve met since it seems like we are on the same wavelength most of the time.” Diana said. It was obvious she still have a crush on Jean, even though she was a bit more realistic than having her head in the clouds. She still was blushing at the fact she did outright say she wanted him on a hill without knowing his name, however, she doesn’t want to tell Jean about her daydream since it is a bit nerve racking. However, in the back of her mind, she’s going to have something since she drank so much alcohol though. She always wondered why her mother told her to never have a hangover but it was definitely going to happen this time around. ”I shouldn’t have drank myself to slur my speech… it was a bad idea I do want some of Reyna’s tea though. I am hopeful she makes more of it because it was definitely good and make me decide to not pass out drunk.” Diana thought to herself, with a smile on her face. In a sense, that made her remind her, it was on the tip of her tongue. ”Oh yeah, did you try Reyna’s tea? It helped me realize something I shouldn’t ever bet while in a drinking contest again. Because that was embarrassing and grateful you weren’t here to see it.” Diana said, realizing what she said, a bit worried if he’ll be a bit curious. She was blushing much at what she said because it was a bit embarrassing for her to remember what she did earlier, ala, stripping herself naked. Her face was redder than a tomato in hoping that Jean wouldn’t try to poke or prod what happened.
