Chapter 1:
The World's My Oyster
"Thinking back, I certainly was a very odd girl, wasn't I? Afraid of the world and everything it had to offer. The slightest little thing would tick me off. Whether it was someone calling my name or even offering me something. I...would just cower behind the nearest tree and stay away from them. I've changed a lot since then, haven't I? It's almost like I'm an entirely different person now. Looking back, i wonder why i was so scared. Reading my journal all these years later. i wonder what type of person i would have become if I hadn't stepped out of those doors and out into the world. I did learn a lot through my time in Osrona. I made a lot of new friends, met a lot of new faces. It was...fun. To be honest, if it wasn't for them, i wouldn't have grown into the woman i am today. It's thanks to Esbern that i learned how to break out of my shell and become that woman, after all. So....thanks, my love. I'll be sure to return the favor by protecting you. "
How troublesome! Out of all the things that could have happened to me, i just needed to be dragged off to that bandit town! Rang certainly is a troublesome boy. Why did he have to do that? Well, i...guess it wasn't all bad. I....did feel like i learned alot. I've never been so far outside of Osrona before. The people i met in Illburg were...interesting, to say the least. They weren't at all like the criminals that i've heard the Knights talk about. But...the Knights would never lie, right? They're heroes after all! Or...at least i think. Illburg certainly doesn't seem to like or want anything to do with them. Which would make sense...they are criminals after all. But....part of me thinks that that that isn't the case. I wasn't killed or anything, and they did seem to be passionate about their words. But to say that the Knights oppress others, that they turn a blind eye to the injustices of the world for their own glory. No! I refuse to believe such rumors! They can't possibly be true. Right?

Today i sparred with Eric and had a few training drills. It was...quite fun. To be honest, i worry about my future. I mean, my parents and family put so many expectations upon me. They want me to be a Knight, they want me to be able to carry their torch of their legacy along with Inante and Eric. I...just don't know if i can do it. I'm still so nervous and so meek around others. Not to mention i haven't even bonded with Sae yet! I...just don't know what i'm missing. What can i possibly do? Well...at the very least Eric was there to cheer me up. I love my brothers quite dearly. I....don't know what i'd do without them. They seem to be the only ones that believe in me. after all...
X/X/1734 AC
I met quite a nice girl today! Her name was Cetta. And she made me realize something that i would have never found on my lonesome! She made me realize....my choices are my own! I don't need to be held down by the expectations of my family. I can be my own person! Perhaps that was why Sae hadn't bonded with me yet. I simply do not have the strength yet for her to acknowledge me. I relied too much on her to guide me instead of using my own strength! I...need to use my failures to propel me to success. Just like she said! I need to find my own path...one that brings me joy and happiness.
X/X/1734 AC
Rang put me through some very strenuous training today. Though...for the first time in forever. I think i was finally able to feel and sense Sae's presence. The fool made me yell up at the sky so that i can call Sae and ask her for her power. And while i'm sure my passion was heard throughout the entire church, i'm not sure i made much progress. Though, i admit....i am more than glad that i was able to feel her presence. Oh! Today was also wonderful in the fact that i got a beautiful gift from Esbern! A star-shaped locket. We also went fishing today! Though silly me, i....fell asleep on him and he carried me back home. Oh, i feel so embarrassed. I really need to stop falling asleep at random times. He said something to me before I passed out, though...i don't quite remember what it was. Fishing trip was very fun though! I hope i'll be able to do it again. He...truly is a wonderful person. If it wasn't for him, i probably wouldn't have been able to break out of my shell and talk to others. Though...i wonder...wh-what's this sensation that i feel? It's...quite odd. Well, no matter. Esbern makes me feel like....myself. That i matter. Not even my brothers really do that. It's hard to explain, but...i think i'll keep being his friend and doing my best for h-. Oh no! I forgot i was cooking dinner today! I have to go!
Today was the day....I...i finally did it! I bonded with Sae! Oh...i'm so happy! Priest Del helped me find my courage and resolve and...she helped me bond with her! I'm so happy! Even now, i feel Sae running through my veins as i write! Oh...that sounds wierd. Anyway, praying to Sae and talking to her as a friend certainly made me feel her presence. I need to hone and train the power she has so gracefully given me. I'm...just glad my hard work has paid off. Thank you, Sae. I hope me and you become the best of partners. The best of....friends. I...think i realize what i want to do now. I...want to use her power to protect others. It was because of her that i was able to finally understand the world and myself. And...i want to repay the favor. Being such a privileged girl, i want to be able to protect those less fortunate than i am. And with Sae's power, i fully intend to do so. First step however! Is to become a Cadet! I should be ready soon now that my training is picking up. I....hope that i can become a light in this world. I know that it's awful out there. So I hope i can change the world in some way, shape, or form. Even if it's just a little bit...

Mother finally pushed me to step outside today. How troublesome. I don't have time to mingle with these commoners. My studies are far more important than anything else! I ran into this young man today....his name was...Rang. Or something along those lines. Causing a ruckus and disrupting the beauty of the park by chopping down all the trees in his vicinity. Though...he was quite scary. I might have been a little rude to him now that i think about it. He did agree to help me in my studies after all. I also met a quite interesting Felinae named Yami. It...was actually quite nice. I'm so embarrassed i couldn't talk to them more....this was the first time i've ever done such things. Commoners sure are chatty...i admit. Anyway, i need to get back to my studies. Perhaps this entry is enough for today
X/X/1733 AC
It seems more people are interested in the stars than i have imagined. Perhaps i can learn quite a bit from such people if i mingle with them. I need to establish a connection to Sae, after all. A-and...i guess it would be best if i learned how to understand people. As much as i loathe talking to others. My, my. It's just so darn troublesome. I wish i was able to be a little more chatty but...i can't help but be so nervous. I don't understand why mother insisted on making me step through those doors. I was doing just fine by myself in my room! My studies are far more important after all...
X/X/1733 AC
Well, i...think i made a new friend. His name is...Esbern! Esbern Antioch. He was very kind to make me a new weapon! It's quite a beautiful sword if i do say so myself. I'll cherish it forever! This blade will greatly help me with my studies and my training. Today was also quite...interesting. Esbern showed me around his soup kitchen, so i decided to help out and make some batches for soup for him. It was...rather quite fun. It makes me glad that i am able to help in Osrona in some way. The homelessness problem has certainly been growing ever since the war. I hope that my efforts are enough to at least be able to feed some of the unfortunate souls that reside here.
Between you and me, journal...that Esbern fellow is...kinda...cute? Oh...i shouldn't be divulging such things. I don't want Eric to find and read this again...

Chapter 2:
The Flames of War
"If i knew things would have been this horrible. I would have never decided to draft into the Order as Cadet. Let alone a Knight. Heh...i used to be so naive. I...honestly feel so terrible for having to put myself through such things. I knew the world was a terrible place going into this whole ordeal. But...i didn't know how bad things -truly- were. War, Death, Destruction, Bloodshed. I...pretty much saw it all. And for what reason did i suffer through all this? Well, i simply wanted to protect all that i could. I still do. If it meant having shield others from the horrors that i've seen, i'd gladly go through a hundred of these battles. No one deserves to see these things. No one deserves to -die- for such petty ideals. Until the day i fall, i plan on never forgetting what i believe in. I will never forget the reason why i still fight to this very day. To protect those that i hold dear. To protect the innocents who can't fight for themselves and do what i can to spread Sae's guidance. With Sae by my side, i'll never falter, no matter what. Even if i can't change the world permanently, i'll do all i can to make sure that Esshar becomes a place full of peace. For if i fight for anything, it's that.
Peace."
X/X/1735 AC
By Kraus, i finally did it! I...became a Cadet! It...was surprisingly simple. I guess Sir Siegfried was simply impressed by the devotion i had to protect others. So...he gave me the title right then and there. All i wanted was to have a simple conversation with him. I'm glad that i was able to reach someone so important! Someone so cool! I-i...i admit, as weary as i am about the Knights given the rumors. Sir Siegfried was really kind. Along with all of his comrades. Lady Isla and Marie were such kind people. Are the rumors of the Knights really true? If anything, i very much look forward to working with them and becoming the best Cadet that i can! I can't let them down now. So...i will make sure to work hard and make them proud!
X/X/1735 AC
....I...don't have alot of words for what happened today. Esbern. He confessed his love to me. I....can't begin to describe just how happy i am! I'm on the verge of tears even as i write now. I just can't believe he would love a girl such as myself. I always thought that he was cute sure, and yes, i did have a crush on him. But for him to admit he shared the same feelings! Oh! It's just like my romance novels! But...will everyone approve? I'm a noble. What if...i am exiled because of such things? I don't know if i'm ready. I really, really don't. I've never loved someone before in my life. Was...that fluttering feeling in my stomach what i felt this whole time? Love? Well...it doesn't matter! I'm going to be the best girlfriend ever! I-i hope, at least. Even if people don't approve, i will love him dearly forever. He...gave me my first kiss today, as well. I guess that what love truly is hm? Do i even deserve someone such as him? I...will try my best for him. No matter what, i will always stay by his side
X/X/1735 AC
I have to admit. Being a Cadet is...not what i thought it was going to be. The Knights simply boss me around and tell me to do menial tasks such as paperwork of patrolling the park. Of course, it's not Lady Isla or Marie or Siegfried that ask me do such things. But...still, it's annoying that i haven't even been given a proper mission yet. Patrolling the park all day really does make my legs hurt....and...it's not like i can do anything anyway! It's...just so boring! Well, no matter. Patience is a virtue, as they say. Other than that, i saw someone blow their jaw off today with a gun and revert time to put it back tog....together. Sorry, i almost puked again. I'm not going to talk about that anymore. Oh! I also talked to Lord Regulus today. I'm surprised i don't remember him, especially considering me and his siblings are his vassals. Well, i guess i didn't tend to talk to people much back then. So, it's not a surprise that i don't remember his visits. But...he was quite a joy to talk too. I hope i can be able to speak to him again sometime soon
X/X/1736 AC
So...something...odd, happened today. Um...while training with Esbern, i might have strained myself a little too hard and....warped around the battlefield like a madwoman. Nothing like that has ever happened before. I've been training alot using Sae's power, but this was something completely new to me. Perhaps i can discover how to control it? It's...quite odd if i'm being honest. Even now, my arms hurt and i ---------
And...i just warped. Yeah, i need to rest. Though, i don't know how easy that will be with Eric playing with his...*ahem...sand all night. I should ask him to stop
X/X/1736 AC
Sand room has a giant crab in it. Yeah, i'm never going in there again.
X/X/1736 AC
I was finally able to Inante again today! Oh, man...he's so skinny! I hope he's eating alright. Anyway, me and Inante caught up and talked about a few things with Eric. It...was a nice little reunion. I very do much love my family, so i hope i'm able to do something like this again soon. Inante did give me insight about my uh...warping mishap today though. According to him, i was tapping into a form of Cosmic magic dubbed "Light". Quite interesting! I hope i can be able to tap into it soon with Inante's help. Oh! I need to get ready for Uri's wedding! To think that me of all people would be invited. This makeup is going to be pain to do....i should find my dress as well!
X/X/1736 AC
Uri and Vivian had such a beautiful wedding. It...makes me wonder. Am i going to marry Esbern one of these days? It's so odd that they would have a wedding in the middle of a brewing war. But..i guess love overcomes even the horrors of that, hm? Here's hoping that me and Esbern's love surpasses even that. Speaking of which...a war seems to be brewing. A battle between Osrona and Theria. I...w-was one of the unlucky Cadets to be drafted into the siege. While i do think i'm ready combat wise...i...admit. I'm scared. I'm really scared of what's going to happen. My heart's beating just thinking about it. I-i mean...i could die! An....i need to start resting. Just thinking about all this is starting to freak me out. I'll be okay, i think. I just need to stick to my training. Remember what i'm fighting for. I...need to protect my city. I need to make sure that this bloodshed doesnt happen ever again.
X/X/1736 AC
I can't even begin to describe what i saw today. By the gods. Everything hurts. My mind....my body....i...can't get any of this out of my brain. I'm sitting in Esberns guild right now. I'm about to cry even as i write. What do i do!? I...can't understand why this all had to happen!? Perhaps writing about it will help calm me down. Today was the siege. At midnight, i marched along with my comrades toward Theria. Every fleeting minute made my heart drop even more. Before i knew it, we were on a battlefield. In front of me and my comrades was Theria's army. A....frightening monster of a beast commanding them. A large dragon. Before i knew it, we were charging into the fray and....everything was a blur. The explosions piercing my ears as i ran alongside my comrades. The dragon burning down hordes of men like they were ants. One was shot through the heart by an arrow right in front of me. I...couldn't do anything but cower. I ran and ran and ran. Tripping over bodies as blood and dirt spilled onto my face. Everything was...so loud. I couldn't hear anything but screams. Is...this how terrible things truly are? I ended up in the sights of a Drakanite. I didn't even get her name. In an instant, i remember fighting for my life as i fought her to death. This was the first time i've ever been in a fight such as this. The adrenaline rushing through my body and my sheer will to live was enough to beat her. I...w-was about to deal the final blow before she fled my grasp. Thank Kraus she did. I don't have the heart to kill such a young girl like her. Let alone anyone. I must thank Sae for guiding me through this perilous time. I...don't want to go through that ever again. After beating that girl, i fled and cowered as the battle was nearing it's end. It couldn't have been more than an hour as i waddled back to my comrades. The last thing i saw being the dragon getting it's head cut off. But...as cool as it was to see the Knights being heroes. I didn't care.
That village. I can't even begin to imagine how terrible it must have been for those innocents who died. Flames. There were so many flames. It almost blinded me as i looked backward toward that village. To think of the burned corpses of the men, women, and children that littered the ground. So many innocents died today. And...for what? It was a beacon of despair that lit up toward the skies. As if the devil himself was taunting us. Even though we won the battle, i realized....no one truly won. There was no victory. Only death, destruction, and despair. I....don't know what to do now. I need to rest...
X/X/1736 AC
I'm writing this the next morning after the battle. I am utterly exhausted. But....in my time of despair. A light of hope would shine through to cheer me up. To make me realize that no matter how much strife and despair were in this world, there were always lights of hope that could shine through. Esbern showed me that last night. I guess he just wanted to cheer me up after seeing how much distress i was in. I....know what i am fighting for, now. I know my purpose. My purpose is to rise up from the ashes of this darkness. I'm putting a stop to all this nonsense and making the world a better place in my own way. I don't want to just protect Esbern and my family...but...everyone. I must protect and shield them from ever seeing or going through such things ever again. I've made my choice. I am becoming a Knight. Not for Osrona. Not for the Order. But a Knight that fights for her own ideals and no one elses. I'm going to spread Sae's understanding and guidance throughout the entire world. I don't care about these petty squabbles anymore. I'm fighting for what i believe is right. So that no one has to suffer again.
I don't care if all of this is impossible. I'm not going to stand here and allow this bloodshed to continue. I...will put a stop to it. I'm not fighting for my family's approval or to become a soldier in these damn wars. But...for my own ideals. I...hope that i can become a guardian. One that protects the weak under of the Light of Sae. And by Kraus, i will work as hard as i can to become that. For i will become Sae's sword and shield.
It's thanks to Esbern that i've realized my resolve. And...i will make sure to never forget it. I'd be a terrible wife to him if i did, after all.
Speaking of which, Esbern proposed to me today. Who was i to refuse? Esbern is....perfect. I'll make sure to never leave his side for as long as i live. Until death do us part
X/X/1736 AC
I've been hearing odd rumors as of late about an evil being combing the outskirts of Osrona. They...called it a Wraith? I'm not sure if such things are true or not. But i'll be making sure to be cautious when i venture outside. Anyway, today was quite interesting. Inante taught me how to control my Light mana and become a better fighter. It seems he's quite proficient when it comes to such things! I admit I'm still a novice when it comes to controlling it, but with enough practice. I'm sure i'll be able to perfect this technique. Inante was definitely quite helpful in helping me tap into this power. So...perhaps things will be alright. Oh! What was that!? I...have to go. I just heard screaming coming from the castle! Somethings...definitely wrong. Oh..i hope everyone's okay...
X/X/1737 AC
I can finally see now. In....more ways than one. I...feel like a different person. Everything that has happened these past few weeks they... they's changed me. I don't know if that's a good thing. A few weeks ago...i...got my eyes slashed by the Wraith. After heading off to investigate the screaming, i was met by this ungodly monster. I....was able to break through his defenses and fight him. It didn't end well for me....and i was slashed right between my eyes. Causing me permanent, unreversible damage. Even with the surgery, my eyes are as good as nothing. I'm barely able to see just a few feet in front of me face. And...my eyes are now stained red. Is this what i get for wanting to protect others? Is this my punishment for fighting? Is...it truly impossible for me to fight evil with my current strength? I....just want to protect others. Is...it impossible?
No, i can't think of such things. I need to stick to my resolve and keep fighting. I'm a Salis, after all. I can't just stay here and do nothing. I need to try harder. Even with my vision hindering me, i don't plan on failing anytime soon.
X/X/1737 AC
Esbern has been captured by Myllenoris. Talks of more war are stirring amongst the public. By the gods, it hasn't even been that long since the last conflict. And now Osrona is being thrust into the another one? Not to mention that Esbern is gone! I....i need to rescue him. I need to find him. I almost went on a suicide mission off to Myllenoris today to save him but....the King stopped me. He's right, i can't just mindlessly run into things like that. I'll cause more trouble and chaos if i am caught. Poor King Alexander must have alot on his hands. I...just hope that this doesn't blow over into another battle. But from the looks of things. I'm not getting my hopes up
X/X/1737 AC
The King has agreed to allow me to investigate into Esbern's capture. After talking with him about my findings, he agreed to allow me to send a letter to Lord Regulus. His supposed captor. But knowing how much things are tensing up as of late...i don't have much time to do so. I highly doubt i'll be able to contact him with the time i have left. I...don't even know if i'm going to participate in the next battle. I...can't support this needless bloodshed and chaos. But...i can't just stand here and do nothing while my comrades are out fighting to protect their city. So...i'll do the same. Even if i know my efforts wont stop the war, i'm still going to fight for what i believe in. I'm going to protect my city and my comrades. . Sparring with Uri today, I've realized that i need to fight for what i believe in. He showed me that power is obtainable. I just need to harness my passion into that strength. I must rescue Esbern. With Sae at my side. I wont lose....No matter what

Tomorrow's the day. As i write this, my squad and I are marching off toward Starlight Tower. I...must admit I'm scared. Even now, I still have nightmares of what i saw in the previous battle. To think i'm as foolish to participate in another one...hmph. Well, i need to do this. I...need to save Esbern. I have to become a light of hope for everyone. Princess Marie taught me an important lesson yesterday. I...need to make sure to fight for the peace as long as i can. I know that i cannot stop war no matter how hard i try, but by Kraus, i will do my best to keep the peace for as long as i can. I...will fight to end this war as quickly as possible. And...i must save Esbie. This is my one and only chance to win and prove myself to everyone else! I will not falter...for this is my future!
