The Sanctuary

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

---

Stephanie was eating her breakfast since it was definitely needed for her, which was the reason she’s happy for the help by Vilkas. It was pretty much obvious, she has always hated the Firebrand Rapier because of what her mother Rita specifically wanted to do to her. The Firebrand rapier in question shimmered and glowed in a small ‘reddish’ aura while Vilkas was holding it. She caught that specific glow and shimmering with her eyes, she only seen that specific glow when her mother Rita was teaching her how to use the weapon. ”I hate that glow the most, it was definitely much brighter when my mother wielded it though.” Stephanie said, with a definite rattle in her voice in terms of hate in seeing it glow like that. It was pretty obvious she was definitely afraid of that weapon since she saw its destructive power first hand when her mother was showing off while teaching her.

She kinda went off in her mind to remember that destructive thing her mother Rita was doing with the brutal Firebrand Rapier. ”The destructive force of fire is terrifying, when in my mother’s hands. The thing I trained on… with her sword was definitely weird and pretty ominous in how it absorbed the Fire alike a well.” Stephanie thought to herself, with look on her face a bit shocked and can’t handle whatever was created to help her mother’s destructive fire be so isolated and not spreading throughout her hometown. This specific thought constantly got to her since it was a bit creepy for whatever her parents were using for her to train on using their enchanted weapons. She stopped thinking about that since she heard a voice asking about to sit down next to her.

Stephanie had a slight shock to her system when she looked at the person who asked to sit besides her and Vilkas. The girl’s white wings were beautiful, which made her remember what her parents talked about the Anserians. However, only one good thing that Rita and Derrick said about the Anserians are about their wings and nothing else. She pretty much ignored their racism after that since she didn’t want to become what her parents wanted her to be. ”I don’t mind if you sit next to me. My name is Stephanie, what’s yours?” Stephanie questioned, curiously. It was the first time seeing an Anserian. She smiled with a gentle smile towards Cisna, since it was common courtesy to do so. She looked towards Vilkas and more or less spoke towards him with a kind demeanor since this girl definitely asked nicely. ”What about you Vilkas?” Stephanie asked to Vilkas. She was definitely interested in meeting the other residents of the Sanctuary since she wasn’t alike her parents at all.

It had always been pretty hard to keep herself on the path of pacifism since she worships the Goddess of Peace and Order, Satelle. Mostly because of her parents kinda hard when they were trying to force her to worship the Goddess of War & Ambition, Nalissa. ”I must stay on the path of what I want guess that’s why my mother’s weapon specifically constantly fights me because of the Goddess I worship… But it could just not like me like my mother since she tried to kill me...” Stephanie thought to herself, with a definite look of fear and a hint of rage towards her mother Rita. She has never wanted to harm another person in her life but she will definitely defend herself if required, however. It's nice when everyone is afraid of her mother's specific nickname, which was passed onto her by wielding the Firebrand rapier. She was somewhat grateful everyone who tried to approach her was definitely taken aback by how she responded to them. It didn't help she only learned while in the Sanctuary her parents were spying on her inner thoughts.

Talrae Reborn

Holly Emerald

---

User Name:
Holly Emerald

Holly Emerald, which was the easiest for her friends to spot her in-game when she’s playing the game. It was created along time ago for other video games, which she played with her friends.
Real Name:
Patricia Cole Miller
Title:
N/A
Gender:
Female
Age:
18
Race:
Human
Appearance:

Holly Emerald stands at a 5’6”, which gives her anxiety around people who notice her hourglass shaped body. She has heterochromia in her eyes, which one of her eyes is blue and the other one is green. Her body language usually shows her a bit unique, which wanted to always be apart of the foreground minus the fact she has to usually be noticed in that case. Her beautiful blonde hair, which is extremely long has anything to say about her it is her lack of wanting to shape her hair, in a ponytail. The hair go past her lower back. She has a very cute voice and usually constantly says certain things, which constantly embarrasses her.

She weighs around 115 lbs, which is below the average weight of what normal girls her age weigh. The look she gives most people, which is usually utter shock or ’what did you just say.’ She never used a filter on her voice, which gets her more embarrassed. The probability of the likelihood of her getting angry at anyone is pretty low most of the time. She gets more depressed or internally try to figure out why she’s utterly terrified or otherwise. She usually stares up at the stars, when she wasn’t in the game. However, she’s more terrified at the fact she’s trapped within Talrae than anything.

Background:

Patricia C. Miller was born into the Miller Family, which are a wealthy family that lives in the United States of America. Her mother's name is Lana R. Miller and her father's name is Frank L. Miller. The corporation in question deals in two things, one is military contracts for the US Military, which is weapon based. The other is basically a brand of clothing, which Lana primarily deals with. Her family mansion, which is in the vicinity of Columbus, Nebraska.

Her parents were nice to her to a point, which usually causes her to pause and wonder what she did wrong. The entirety of her relationship with her two parents was a bit strained throughout her entire childhood. It’s mostly because her mother wanted her to be apart of the clothes side of the business, however, her father wanted her to do whatever she wanted. It was a bit hard to be a daughter of a corporation, which deals in weapons and clothes. She felt kinda like if she was being swallowed by what her mother wants her to be. She wants to be what she wants to be, which she had to explode on her mother with a bit of a calm anger in her voice. However, afterwards she was a bit terrified of her mother since she is pretty but terrifyingly scary when she wants to be.

That really caused her to get to know her father more mostly because she wanted to allow her mother to cool down. Her father made her interested in video games, which were only online. There was an option to meet them in person, her father would take her to them if she wanted to. She created her online identity called Holly Emerald. She met some people online, which was highly interesting, they were talking about multiple different games. She wanted to experience them all, however, she was outright a bit shy around them since she constantly said things that would embarrass her.

It took her about much help by the people, which she met online to help her with her game she got stuck on, which was a MMORPG before the new VRMMORPG came out. It interested her enough but couldn’t really figure out to tell her father to preorder Talrael, which so she could play it. She gained enough courage to ask her father, which was definitely an experience to say in itself. Since he heard many things about the VRMMORPGs had nerve gear and didn’t want to see his daughter to get hurt. However, she definitely knew not of the dangers of the game itself.

The friends she had gotten within the mmos or vrmmos before the biggest one came out, helped her a bit on the mechanics. However, the father helped her set up the Nerve Gear in question. She had many online friends basically helping her keep up with the entirety of the mess. The Fantasy World of Talrael was outright insane, which felt like the mmos that she had played but more virtual. She couldn’t really help enjoy it. She instantly picked the class of Archer because it fit her styles of wanting to please her father, which he dealt mainly in long-ranged military hardware like missiles.

However, the one thing which made her utterly terrified was when the sky turned red, which she heard that she is trapped within this insanely fun game. With people she knew from her online days on other games, however, she couldn’t really tell what frightened her more, the nerve gear will kill her or that the world was a prison. She couldn’t help but shake in fear at what was happening to everyone within this game. The entirety of the world afraid, until one of her online friends told her to stop being afraid. It will be better if you fight your way out of the game. She knew, however, her father and mother wasn’t at home at the time of hooking herself up to the Nerve Gear. They weren’t stupid to instantly disconnect her from it.

Her body, however, would be wasting away in the real world, which made her want to outright want to get out of this game as quickly as possible. Or she’ll be trapped in here without a way out. That made her fear the game more than just the fact she could die from hitting zero hp. The end boss showing up and turning her into what she looks like in real life kinda gave her a shock. Now her voice definitely matches her appearance, since what she picked was a red haired archer avatar before the literal imprisonment turned her into her real appearance. She had to fight to get out of here, and she’s going to do it with her friends, which she met online. She never once asked her father to meet them in real life, however. She was kinda shy and easily embarrassed.

Diana’s Brutal Reality – Diana’s Pendant – September 26, 1914 (Siege of Amone)

---

Diana felt a bit annoyed and frustrated that Luke didn’t respond to what she had said. ”He must’ve been in his own little world or something… Ugh, I guess that’s why he thinks a hangover is nice.. Guess everyone has many things on their head after that terrible time. I am definitely not happy about it either.” Diana thought to herself, with a cute sigh. It was somewhat good he didn’t respond or he would have probably used his patent little jokes on her again. They are definitely annoying and thinking that made her seethe in rage just thinking about what he’ll say to her. ”Why am I being frustrated at a guy who hasn’t said anything to me yet? It’s probably my mother’s letter that’s getting me to think about these things.” Diana thought to herself, having a small frown on her face. It took her a minute to calm down from all the things in her head about the shock of her mother’s letter and cookies. She sighed with a slight bit relief in her body language and decided to look through the package in question. It’s mostly because her mother is overly prepared in everything, which she wasn’t really shocked to find a metal plate in the package with the patented Vastergoth Bakery’s cookie shaped holders. This was the first time of her seeing the cookie shaped holder type plate, which was a bit weird nonetheless.

She couldn’t help but sigh at the thoroughness of her mother’s preparedness. It made her feel a bit more down it was obvious her mother knew what kind of plate would hold her cookies. Her entire body language was definitely not happy at this whole thing, but she took out the plate and put cookies on it, which equal ten cookies. ”Can you please stop this mother? Why are you always over prepared for things? But this plate in question is a first time I’ve seen it.” Diana thought to herself with a definite not happy look on her face. It’s mostly because of the letter, which she read that’s hurting her mood but she would probably feel better if she gave her mother’s cookies to the squad. She walked by Jean and Thomas talking about important things. It was obviously she didn’t hear what they were talking about since she had her own problems to deal with. In terms of her body language she needed to be cheered up a bit.

Diana was highly focused on giving her squadmates her mother’s cookies. At least the package was safe near her stuff in the small area she was sitting at, which she did shut because it was required to keep the rest of the cookies safe. She noticed Thomas casually going over to her, which gave her a slight smile on her face. When he took a cookie from the plate she was holding, which helped her mood a bit. However, what shocked her a bit and made her blush all at the same time was when Thomas winked at her. ”Umm… did that just happen? Did he wink at me.” Diana thought to herself, she had never thought someone who’s a hero would wink at her. It took her a bit to refocus since that definitely took her for a bit of a loop. She smiled gently towards him and she definitely blushed more with what he said about which is the real treat. Her thoughts were going a bit wild but she calmed herself some to respond to his question. ”U-Uhh… Yeah… Treats are very hard to come by I suppose.” Diana said, with her face blushing a bit. She realized after she spoke that she more or less said that the cookies and her are a treat and couldn’t help but blush a bit more than she had. ”T-Thank you for that by the way… I needed some cheering up, Thomas.” Diana said, with a smile on her face. Some people knew how to cheer people up and what Thomas had said definitely brought her smile back.

She couldn’t help but stare a bit as Thomas was returning to continue the conversation with Jean. It took her a bit to notice that Micheal was there now to, it made her smile somewhat. ”I guess I will ask Michael & Jean if they want a cookie after they have spoke a bit...” Diana thought to herself, with a gentle smile on her face. She continued on her general path until she heard some laughter and giggling coming from Luke’s tent. It caused her to stop and listen in, which made her hear Ines’ voice coming from the tent. ”Ah, so that’s where Ines’ went. I hope they don’t want me to join in whatever they are doing… I don’t want a repeat of last time.” Diana thought to herself. However, a part of her wanted to repeat something, which she was highly embarrassed about at the White Hart Inn, ala stripping herself completely naked. It was there only for a moment and kinda was jealous of Ines having fun with Luke in a friendly way. ”T-The hell? Why am I jealous of Ines? It’s not like they are going to do it… He is too shy of a guy to handle that anyways. He didn’t know how to properly kiss a girl… W-What’s wrong with me? Why do I feel like I am doing something wrong… with my life?” Diana thought to herself, with a frustrated look but why she was frustrated wasn’t as easy as day to see.

Diana decided to walk away from the tent before she does something stupid as if her mother made her a bit more self-conscious about herself and her life. It made her feel like her mother was right here on the battlefield with her. She finally made it to a table or barrel and put the metal plate down and couldn’t help but sigh. It was definitely a thing, which caused her to move her left hand towards her silver pendant necklace that everyone can see and opened it and looked directly at her mother Rebecca and her father Gavin. She decided to sit down right there as well, and stared directly at the pictures in question. ”Mother and Father what do you want me to do?” Diana asked quietly towards the Pendant Necklace. It was obvious she was trying to ask for guidance from pictures even though they don’t talk or move. The fact she was conscripted to this battlefield away from the two people she loved the most was definitely hurtful to her. She hoped that no one noticed her speaking to her pendant necklace but had a gentle smile. However, at least she stared at the cookies on the plate and looked around to see if any of her squadmates were moving around. ”My mother’s homemade cookies from home are wonderful, it’ll be nice if you try them. But I am going to sit hear though since I need sometime to think.” Diana resounded her voice to be a bit higher so everyone could hear her. However, her tone of voice was mostly to renounce she got cookies and not like an order or anything since she wants everyone to enjoy them since the only ones that could order her are Thomas, Jean and Isaac. This was mostly to people that weren’t in a tent, however, if they were paying attention they could’ve heard Diana’s voice.

Diana’s Brutal Reality – Another Day – Within Amone’s City Walls (September 12th)

---

Diana was a bit annoyed at the frustration coming from Luke, all she did was glare at him because it was a bit annoying. However, a slight smile came across her face when she saw Inès come to help out Franz, since he definitely needed it. However, what Luke said made her a bit more annoyed and couldn’t help but stare at him in her mask with a definite look of seriously. She didn’t want to insult him or anything since Jean did tell them not to get going again. But how she was staring at Luke was please can you calm the fuck down you twit. ”God damn… I know he’s exhausted but can he please not piss anymore people off today? We have the Imperials on our ass we don’t need in fighting. I don’t want to piss off Jean.” Diana thought to herself, with her definitely staring directly at Luke.

She saw Jean go ahead since there was clearing in the gas. She definitely followed her squadmates as closely as possible since she didn’t want to be separated from them. It made her think about certain things while running through the streets, buildings and other things to stay away from the Imperials that wanted to kill them. For specifically the Federation’s superiors did, however, it was definitely annoyance for her. ”...I fucking hate this shit… I hope my family is alright back at home...” Diana thought to herself, while she was deathly afraid while wearing her mask. However, how she was running felt like what happened during her Conscription Training with that prick of a Drill Sergeant, which was the grandfather of her childhood friend.

Diana’s Brutal Reality – “New Vastergoth Bakery Package” – September 26, 1914 (Siege of Amone)

---

In terms of certain things, Diana was definitely a bit better off than she had been during that specific day that will live in infamy with her. The Day the world went mad, civilians, imperials and federation all went mad that day, which was on Luke’s birthday it was a bit of a sad tale really. Everyone was trying to kill the other side and civilians in the end were cut down in their prime of their life by toxic gas. She was grateful she’s still alive, after all that craziness. It was pretty much obvious, that the silver pendant necklace she always wore during everywhere she went was still around her neck. She was comfortably wearing her clothes, where you got to see the necklace and she wasn’t wearing her helmet because this was an area that had friendlies. In terms of certain things, how she was dressed was a bit causally looking. She walked by where Luke was taking a head dunking challenge and heard what he said and rolled her eyes. However, she wasn’t looking at him when she spoke, however. ”How can a hangover be nice? I do like the peaceful day though it’s definitely better than most things I suppose.” Diana spoke with a bit of a sarcastic tone in her voice, which was basically about the first thing she asked. It was pretty obvious she’s trying to lighten the tone from what it had happened back at the White Hart Inn.

She sighed in relief that this was a comfortable day, because of the fact. It was her feet that made her somewhat sprint ahead of Luke who didn’t put on his shirt since she didn’t see if he was shirtless anyway. She was smiling mostly because of the fact, it was an obviously beautiful day, however. It was nice to see everyone was being quite jovial, playing cards and other such things but she was one of the more active people. She felt a slight bit a new person even though it was definitely odd but after a battle like they’ve been through was definitely needed. It took her a bit to look back at Luke and she noticed he was under dressed in terms of his shirt being off. ”The mystery of the world can’t handle you it seems Luke. But I guess I should say Happy Late Birthday I suppose?” Diana asked with a slight smile and a giggle leaving her mouth at what she said. It took her a bit to remember Ines also had a birthday but didn’t really want to bother her right now. She’s somewhat annoyed her birthday is in November of all things. ”My birthday is on November 15th...” Diana said, with a slight annoyance to her voice. It was pretty much obvious she accidentally blurted that out since now everyone knows her birthday is in November. Her family is all about birthdays it seems since she loved each and every single one of her birthdays.

Diana stopped in fear when she heard Captain Grumpus yell out Michael’s name. It was definitely a terrifying thing to hear him be completely furious about what’s going on. However, it clicked it was all about Lucia and Middleton’s obsession over her. It was definitely unpleasant conversation between Michael & Middleton but it seems like the raging inferno of Middleton subsided by the calm and collective of Michael. ”I didn’t think that would be possible… but I have a feeling he’ll be back to give us things to do.” Diana thought to herself. She waited to move or even sigh because Middleton was definitely a big deal, she wouldn’t want to die by someone wanting to blow off some steam. It felt like an age but she finally was able to breathe easier and she looked at Michael, it was in her eyes of thank god he’s gone. She did notice all the people who was reading letters, it made her a bit sad. She walked to where she was sitting down before she walked in a direction for a bit. It took her a bit but the soldier that was being bothered by Luke was finished.

The Soldier in question walked up to Diana, who was sitting down with a depressed expression on her face, however, he stopped and looked at her. “Ma’am are you Diana perchance?” The Soldier asked curiously because he did ask some of the people in the squad if they had seen Diana. It was definitely nice he caught up to her finally since she had a pretty big package.

”Yes, I am her… why?” Diana asked, curiously. She didn’t really was prepared for what was coming for her. The soldier in question gave her a package with the New Vastergoth Bakery’s Seal, which is the family seal of the Vastergoth Family themselves. It was definitely a shock to see the package, and attached to it was a letter. She instantly knew who it was from and wondered how or why it was here she hasn’t ever sent a letter back home. ”Uhhh, how?” Diana asked, shocked at what’s going on. The Soldier looked directly at her and just smiled with a bit of an oddity. This soldier in question just walked away and allowed her to open the package because he decided to get out of here. It was obvious why he got out of here he had to deliver the rest of his packages he had to the other soldiers that aren’t in Squad 1.

Diana sighed and looked directly at the package, since the New Vastergoth Bakery packaging works very well to keep everything fresher as if it was just baked. Nothing is left to chance for these baked goods, she opened the seal, which allowed her to get the Letter in question. She wanted to open the letter right away but she opened the package and saw something she thought she never would see again, her mother’s chocolate chip cookies. ”Mother… you shouldn’t have… I know I can’t eat all these cookies by myself.” Diana said, with a slight bit of shock in her voice while looking at the cookies all neat and tight in the packaging.

She noticed an oddity with the letter in question, as if it has an extra piece of paper in it. It specifically meant that her mother specifically wanted her to write back as soon as possible or else type of deal. ”Uhhh.. Shit… I don’t like how my mother is so prepared with her letters… It’s like she wants this letter returned to her as soon as possible.” Diana thought to herself, which was obviously a terrifying thing. She was definitely a bit flabbergasted and shocked all at the same time but she calmed down and opened the letter so she can read it.

Rebecca's Letter

Dear Diana,

Hello Daughter, it's your mother Rebecca. The one you've probably been constantly saying to everyone in your platoon or squad. It's sweet of you to do that since you've always been a talkative child about how sweet your family is and how they act towards everyone in Castleton. Gavin got something he's been working on, which shocked me some to see Amanda Reese Donster, Ashley's own daughter hanging around the Bakery as if she was homeless. However, it's pretty obvious your father told me that Amanda's own mother told her to change her beautiful black hair and I didn't believe him for one second. Why would my childhood friend do that to her own kid? It was a bit shocking to hear Gavin outright say to adopt the poor girl since the only people at the Donster Estate are literally the staff that are hired by the Donsters to work there. It saddens me that my childhood friend Ashley changed from being the kindhearted girl she was since she followed me everywhere to who she is now. It doesn't help that Derrick & Ashley are living in Vinland, I think their mansion is in the Darport Area. We've only been taking care of Amanda on the weekend since she said that Astra is staying in the Donster Estate. It's frustrating that Astra cut ties with us right after you were shipped out to EW1. I've been trying to figure that out ever since she had left us.

If you want to know about the New Vastergoth Bakery, it's doing very well. Ever since we've made it more streamlined it's been getting business from everywhere in Edinburgh. Been getting great sells from our 13 year old contract from the Factory in Castleton, the Fredrick Barr Association PLC, which manufactures the Carbonated Soft Drink that's orange in color. It's called Irn Castle, named after the city the factory was built in, still amazes me that that factory has been around for 13 years so far. Besides that Susan outright sends her best wishes to you, she's going to be married next year to a beautiful woman by the name of Dorothy van Ritter. It's going to be a wonderful time really when that happens, however you won't be able to see it since you are still in that blasted war.

Now the important topic I've been trying to neglect. But Diana, I am really angry at you for not saying goodbye to me when you had to leave to that Conscription Camp. I've been wondering why you left without saying goodbye and getting the Journal I bought for you before you had to leave. It is definitely pains me to say this but I miss you but can you think about your family's feelings before you do something stupid again? I'm extremely angry with you because I wanted to give you a hug before you went out to EW1 and tell you I love you. I'm telling you this, I do hope you come back from this awful war so we can be a family again.

After all, you are pretty forgetful and usually forget to write back every now and then even though you should have. Diana, I love you as a daughter and will never forgive the military if you die in the field. Promise me you will write back to me, after you are finished reading this letter I've painstakingly written out.

With Love,

Rebecca Liana Vastergoth

PS: I hope you haven't ruined our anniversary I will freaking yell at you when you do come home. It's a pretty important thing to keep going, no hangovers. If you did have a hangover oh so to help me god I will freaking yell at you for at least six freaking hours straight. However, your father will stop me before I get to six hours since you are officially all grown up when you will return to us.

PSS: Oh yeah please share those cookies I made for you, with your squad.

Diana finished reading the letter, which caused her to cry a bit uncontrollably because she didn’t know anything about what’s going on at home for one. It hit her all at once, all the emotions swelled to her because of the fact her mother wrote her and definitely made her feel bad for not saying goodbye or grabbing her journal. She slowly calmed down but couldn’t help but stay crying but she smiled when she definitely realized her mother wanted her to share her cookies with everyone. It filled her with a bit of a relief. ”M-Mother… why do you have to do this to me? I was actually having a good day but you ruined it… thank you for the cookies… at least.” Diana said, with a shaky voice to her whole thing. She knew she forgot something before going to the Conscription Camp that day but she couldn’t go to her mother Rebecca at that moment. It took her a bit and looked at everyone in her squad, however, she did notice that Lucia wasn’t here that made her a bit saddened. ”Uhhh… Do you want to try my mother’s chocolate chip cookies… they are one of the select choices from the New Vastergoth Bakery...” Diana said, addressing everyone in her squad, however she was fighting what she wanted to do. In terms of crying and sleep her day away since she couldn’t handle this at all.

She did notice on the package there was a pen, which was from her journal. Her mother was definitely a bright mother, however, it definitely made her feel slightly better since she didn’t want to borrow anyone else tools to write. She couldn’t help but shake a bit and waited for people to come up to her and get the cookies she has, however, she did start eating one of her mother’s cookies. It was definitely a cookie she missed and hopefully she’ll never miss one of these again. She definitely needs to get the recipe from her mother, however. It took her finishing the cookie to clam down and focus on what she needs to do, in terms of writing a letter to her mother Rebecca. It was definitely a shock that her elder sister Susie was going to get married next year to a very prominent Darscen Family in Castleton. ”I don’t know what I feel about our family adopting a Donster… but if Gavin taken a liking to Amanda… I’ll be a good older sister to her. Even though that story feels so false, why would a mother be that awful to their own child?” Diana thought to herself with a confused look on her face. She couldn’t help but give out a sigh while sitting down where she was sitting trying to be a bit happier. It was obvious, she wasn’t smiling anymore this shocked her a bit too much.

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.
