Entry 2,82(More numbers, but too old to read)
I can still remember how dark it was that night. How she and I sat across from each other, contemplating our previous conversation. She seemed to not hear me, though. She seemed to be set in her stubborn ways.
"There's no reason to be hasty." I repeated. She stared.
"There's no reason to start a fight over something so…so….CHILDISH!" Her quiet glare was getting to me as I stood and banged my fist on the table.
Finally, she removed her blank look and formed a smile. A loud BANG resounded as something large hit the side of my castle.
"To war" she said.

Entry One
"That stupid bitch!" Ike was furious today as he stormed around the room. 8 of us sat at a large, round table, watching him restlessly. This wasn't the first time.
We were in a castle. We called it Castle Grey, due to it's dark, grayish color. In this group sat swordsmen, a fire breather, pokemon, a master of stealth, and a well-known icon. It was clear Ike was leader of this group, for he took a seat at the head throne.
"How dare she take out my naval fleet! DAMMIT!" Ike roared on about the three-year war. He was losing and losing fast.
The 8 of us fidgeted, not sure what to do. I decided to be the smart ass. I rose my hand, as though in school.
"What?!" Ike spat.
"How about we just get another one? We did it before, we can do it again."
Ike thought about it, then shook his head, "But we'll need someone to distract her as we rebuild…."
Suddenly everyone looked at me.
"Don't look at me!" I said, waving my hands frantically.
"You suggested it." said Marth, laughing.
"You go too." Ike said, no longer as pissed.
"WHAT?!" Both Marth and I said in unison. I wanted nothing to do with him.
Ike wouldn't have it, "My orders have been placed. Now go!"
"Who made you leader anyway!" I yelled.
Ike slammed his hand on the table, "Since I recruited you! You became my underling! You promised to do what I said, when I said it!"
I growled beneath my breath. I hated taking his orders, but he was right. I could never repay him for what he did:
"What's going on?" I yelled out to Kirby.
His huge eyes were watering, "I dunno!"
That's when we saw her, her posture like that of a queen. She stood atop a castle as though she owned it. The way we saw a group of her underlings attacking it, it was clear she did now.
"TO WAR!" She yelled with authority, "TO WAR!"
"War?!" I said, aghast. , "But…we just made peace."
I looked around, noticing that Kirby was missing.
"Kirby!" I was suddenly in the midst of a blazing fire. Lit arrows were being shot from the castle, burning the grass in it's wake.
Finally, I saw my little buddy, "Kirby!" He was scared, trying to blow away the fire that surrounded him.
"I'm coming!" I used my boomerang to get rid of a lot of the fire. It started slowly clearing a path from me to Kirby.
All of a sudden, a group of her underlings ran up to Kirby. They looked up to me and smiled menacingly.
"Get him!" said one I recognized, Wolf.
On cue, Fox and Falcon opened fire on me.
"Since when do you guys work together?!" I yelled, avoiding fire.
It set the debris on the floor aflame again. Kirby was being beaten behind the Star Fox brigade by a few unknown alloy drones. He was outmatched and couldn't fight back anymore. My heart tore with each punch.
"KIRBY!" I felt the dark side of me pulsating inside me, the remnants of the twilight wolf howling in my chest. Without thinking, I pushed through the flames, my body burning.
"Are you crazy?!" I heard a male voice yell to me. I ignored him, feeling my skin peel due to the intense heat.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed me and jerked me upwards, "There's nothing you can do!" He yelled.
"LET ME GO!" Kirby and I have been friend for years. There was NO way I was letting him down now!
"I said there is nothing you can do!!" I turned to see Ike. His cool touch on my burning skin made me realize just how wounded I really was. I could've died.
Just then, as suddenly as it began, the attack on the castle ceased. As though Ike's presence on the field drove them away, the woman and her men were gone.
Ike watched them disappear one by one while holding his wounded arm. Then he turned to me and half-smiled.
"Here." He put an odd cream on my hand, "Put this on."
Hesitantly, I spread it on my body. It cooled and protected my skin instantly.
Then I remembered. I looked up from my spot to where I last saw Kirby "Kir—!" He was gone.
"Kir…Kirby…" I said softly, remembering everything I did for him. And what he would do for me. How nothing had come between us and we vowed noting ever would. He was pretty much my brother.
"Where is he? Where's all my friends like Mario, Zelda, and Pit?!" I asked in a frenzy.
"Now's not the time." Ike said in the voice of a leader.
"I can't just let this go!" I said, standing up. My body fell back to the floor in the shock of getting up so quickly.
"Don't move so much!" Ike warned. He cared more for my wounds than his own.
"Look...I'm going after her." Ike said with determination and hate.
I watched his emotions change from anger to forced happiness, "You just let those wounds heal, okay?" He turned and began walking in the direction they left.
"Wait!" I called after him.
He stopped.
"Can I join you!? I have to save my friend!" I stood up, slowly this time, with only my pants still intact.
He turned to me and smiled, "Okay…but you have to do what I say, when I say it. I know this enemy better than you."
I thought about it. I was so used to doing everything on my own…I wasn't sure I should…
"Okay." I said before I could finish thinking, " I will."
It's funny how a thing like war can change people, like Ike. Ask him now to help my wounds and he'll tell you to stop being a prissy wuss. He also made us start these stupid journals, and I have no idea why. He says for the future or some crap like that.
Anyway, I have to go with Marth, the worst swordsman on earth.
