“ ✑ *nudges Akternis forward* ” — thefoolsgame

It appears that the training of young Alternis Dim is going quite well - Braev does not cease to speak highly of him and his progress whenever we meet. I’ve rarely ever seeb him so proud of someone before - not even of Edea I’m afraid. No wonder that the girl has trouble believing in her father’s love at times…

Still, I would very much like to confirm for myself the skill of the lad. I hear he is the one that has taken up the Dark Knight Asterisk, and I wonder how he fares in handling it. I trust Braev to be capable enough to guide the boy so he’ll not fall to the darkness it carries, but still… Better safe than sorry.

After all, Alternis would be a loss difficult to accept. Especially for Edea…

Maybe we can arrange a joint training session once. I’ll need to speak to Braev on this.

“ ✑ ” — arcanistgirlvictoria

I have run into the bearer of the Arcanist Arcanist today: Victoria F. Stein, member of the Council of Six.

A strange woman, trapped in the body of a small girl and riddled by terrible seizures as an aftereffect of the treatment she received from Dr. Court. It is no hard feat to realize that the constant pain has led her mind astray and off the path of sanity at times. A capable mage, yes, and a valuable addition to the forces, but I have to question whether or not it was right to give some this unstable a position of such high rank.

Today, for example, Victoria was floating around Central Command proudly proclaiming that her caretaker Victor had apparently groped her behind. Whether or not such a thing happened is not for me to know and I do not wish to find out. This is something that is only between the two of them.

And that is most likely what has me irritated about this girl. Such a matter should not be proclaimed as publicaly as she has, it is for the two of them to know and if they must, their closest friends. And I am especially not fond of her going into details about such a matter…

I can only hope that the next time, she will show more discretion.

“ ✑ ” — stealthmasterkonoe

I have requested for a new soldier to be recruited for my devision today: The holder of the ninja asterisk.

Not because I am fond of such tactics. In fact, I would rather not see us use any of these means. Assassination is an unhonorable way to defeat an enemy… - But once I learned of who held the asterisk, I had no choice.

It is a young woman that holds the stone currently, nay, a girl really, albeit she shows high prowess with her profession. But in her eyes, I can see naught but blind obedience and this rends me uneasy… A girl her age should not have such eyes.

I wish to have her regain her smile, and look at life with passion in her eyes again.

Maybe by taking her under my wing, I shall achieve this.

I can only hope that Braev will indeed assign her to my troops.

“ ✑ ” — valkyrie-einheria-venus

It has been months since I have last heard of Einheria. After her so sudden departure, news of her have been very scarce and hard to come by - I have to admit that this has left me worried. After all, she is like a daughter to me, my best student so far, and had she not decided to walk this other path now, I am certain that she would have inherited my swordmaster asterisk.

After all, she possesses not only the strenght and skill needed, but also the honour and kindness I appreciate so much.

But alas, since the news that arrived this morning, such a thought is merely a distant dream now. She has decided on her path and picked up the speak her father once wielded. And Braev has rewarded her decision with the valkyrie asterisk today.

Ah, my old friend Venus… If only you and your wife could see your daughter now… I’m certain you would be as proud of your daughter as I am.

She has grown to be a wonderful woman, and it fills me with joy to see how strong she has become in both body and character. I hold no doubt that she will one day surpass me, as well as your legacy. She is destined for greatness.

I only wish she would not forget her roots. She has yet to come see me since her return yesterday, and I am eager to see how she is faring - and to test her skill. I hope you can forgive me Venus, old friend, for having taken your place after you passed.

But I cannot help loving her as if she were my daughter truly.

Hopefully she will remember me and think alike. I am awaiting her.

“ ✑ (tiz) ” — cryingphantom

Today I have encountered Edea and the Wind Vestal once more, as well as their two companions. And while naturally I should still be upset about my favourite student travelling with a vestal, and a counterfeit Alternis joining them, I could not help but focus more on the forth in their party, this young lad, this shepherd…

The one Edea called Tiz.Something about this boy… it is not right. Something about him seems off.

I cannot point my fingers at it, but when my blade clashed with his, I could feel it. This boy… He is no ordinary shepherd.

He carries something within himself that is much bigger than any of us.

And this worries me.

What if in the end… Edea is right…?

Or even worse, what if Edea… is walking right into a trap…?

I cannot help but feel that this boy might just be the key to it all…

hospital visit (Adachi + Dojima)

Adachi had been dreaming. About what, exactly, was starting to fade away - something involving running away, perhaps the dark paths of Magatsu Inaba, but details were fading fast as he slipped back into consciousness. He registered the faint sounds of a bleeping monitor, the low hum of air conditioning. Adachi opened his eyes the barest sliver he could, trying to make sense of the blurry ceiling he found himself staring at. In bed... in the hospital? He blinked his eyes open a little further, looking around. Someone was with him.

It was hard to discern what exactly hurt, but he sure felt as if he'd been hit by a freight train. Whatever he had been given for pain took the worst of it away, but in exchange turned his thoughts into a confused blur - everything was snippets of the last few hours in random order, and he couldn't be sure what he'd dreamed and what he'd done.

Glancing to one side, he could see the faint outlines of police officers on guard behind the door, silhouetted by the brighter light of the hall. Slowly rolling his head back to his other side, the blurred figure of whoever it was at his beside with their head down came into focus.

He extended his arm slowly towards him, as if kidding himself that he was capable enough of grabbing the front of his shirt now.

"Dojima."

[silver-shield-heinkel]

Alternis & Heinkel || A Little Darkness

 The Florem boy has been growing. A strange child rescued from darkness by the Grand Marshall - who doesn't know of him, after all? Heinkel, who has been watching the lad distantly, now waits with his cloak wrapped around him in one of Central Command's outer courtyard. The cold long since stopped bothering him, even with the upbringing and constitution of a native Eisenberger, so he is patient.

 Of course it had to be Argent that Braev approached for a 'second opinion'. Perhaps it is Braev's will that the older boy serve alongside his own blood-daughter some day - that would be quite his style, after all. Leaning against the wall are two training swords, enough to get a measure of the boy's temperament. From what he hears he is tenacious, but he has heard little else about him. There is no better way to learn someone - young or old, neophyte or veteran - than how they handle a blade.

 He hears footsteps from inside, small ones, and the outer door grinding open. Now who could that be?

 "Alternis, welcome," he says as he steps to take the two swords in hand, one smaller than the other. "I trust you know that your performance here will take a hand in determining your path. Braev has considered binding you an asterisk, you know."

A Surprise Visit || [Agnès, Alternis, Einheria]

Agnès had finished her morning prayers and decided to step outside of the Wind Temple before the day grew too hot.

She let out a deep sigh as the zephyrs of the crystals surrounded her, there wasn't a moment where she didn't have one issue or another weighing down on her shoulders, but she didn't have anyone to speak to about her troubles anymore, so she kept to herself becoming more and more withdrawn as time went on.

Her mind had wandered back to the happier days she spent with her fellow Warriors of Light, which offered a heavier weight on her than relief.

Pushing the thoughts aside, she cast her gaze up to the sky and the sun rose, and was met with an unusual sight.

"An Eternian airship?" she asked herself, she knew of only one Eternian who might go through the trouble of making their way to Ancheim and after the last encounter she'd had with that person, Agnès was not eager to commune again.

Rushing back into the temple, she prepared herself for the inevitable meeting.

♛ (Lol did I send you one of these yet?)

[[ufufufu not yet *w*]]

"Before... before everything happened, I had thought of you as nothing more than an ally, a fellow soldier of the duchy. I respected you for your strength and your devotion to the Grand Marshal, yet I knew little of your true character, aside from the few interactions I had seen between you and Edea. And then...

You found me once more, after I had lost everything. Everyone. After I had been resigned to an inevitable, forthcoming death, you tended to my wounds and brought me back to the duchy, back... to her. At that time, with the pain of losing so many important people still fresh, I withdrew, unable to abandon the empty notion of loyalty, yet not knowing how to proceed.

...And you remained with me. Showed me caring, concern, that I had not expected of you. That I had no longer expected of anyone, at that point. It was almost inevitable that I would grow attached to you, and wish to reciprocate that care that I had been so graciously shown.

I came to fear for your life, and the fear is only magnified as Edea's... condition... becomes more severe. That is the reason why, even with my injuries, I resolve to do all I can to aid you in this mission. I hope, through what little comfort my words and actions could have provided, that you can understand how much I care about you, that I would never wish for you to be alone... Perhaps, it is because I myself fear being left alone once more, above all. It is a selfish thought, I am well aware.

And yet... whenever we are together, there is an unmistakable feeling, almost a jolt... This, undeniably, is different from anything I had experienced in the past. I know I must curb my desires to treat you with more intimacy than before - I do not wish to distract either of us from the mission, especially given failure could mean your life, and remaining detached, removing personal sentiments, is the duty of a soldier in battle, but... this feeling only grows stronger by the day...

...My apologies."
