Daria313: Medic

Leykya: Punisher

I'm in the years of maturity and responsibility. My job is to protect the human race from allies of the Narak, as well as militaristic Royal Knights.

I've read through the years in my training on how things came to be. I have no intent of rewriting that story. The important thing for me is to make sure that the Arkana that I'm assigned under my command, and myself do our jobs. Should I live long enough pray tell, I will personally give them the freedom that they, like my ancestors have fought for.

However, things haven't been easy. We've been through a lot. Especially, Leykya, my first Arkana.

When I finished my training and was assigned her as my Arkana, things went well. We both have our respective weapons. Unfortunately for me, the weapon that I had, was not enough for some of the monsters that we encountered. Despite that, Leykya was good with the gun she had. But prices were high, and upgrades were tough. We did a few jobs on the side to keep cash in our pocket, and even killed a few Royal Guards spys on the run.

It didn't take long before my exploits got back to the main AI command of the Free Knight arkana. I was to be promoted to second class and assigned another arkana under my command.

Her name was Daria313, and it didn't take long for her to become popular.

When I was sent to Merholt, news came out about the amount of dead increasing in the area, because many Arkana as well as their commanders would rush in, without giving thought to what they would find there.

The need for healings was always important, but it became even more important when a sign of the Narak returning came in the form of a large dinosaur walking up and down the mountanous area. Thanks to our ancestors causing nuclear winter in the area during the first invasion, there were lots of creatures that were ferocious already there.

Since I was assigned there, I was going to need all the help I could get. She was kind and helpful to others, but get on her bad side, she would blast you with her cannon and that would be the end of you.

When we found a base, elevated above a lake that had a swimming monster, and an island in the center below for arkana to relax, it was a lot better than Enocia. There were plenty of Arkana, associated with commanders that united to form guilds of their own to better accomplish the mission of saving the human race.

There was also a lounge that even Royal Knights were allowed in. There was one rule that all Arkana and their commanders respected regardless of faction. There was no weapons allowed there, and all Arkana walked in with only their lingere.

Deliah's lounge was a nice place to get a drink, if you had the gold. If not, well, you were pretty much out of luck. You could also bring your technical pets along. They would meet with the other pets that walk around w/the other arkana. There was a VIP room for those with the cash, as well as a dance floor and a swimming pool in the middle. The place was also the most non-violent way of getting info about the Royal Knights and their plans.

For 19 years, I have been commanding these arkana, and they have served with respect, duty, and defending the right to choose our own fate. Now that I'm in my 30s, things have become harder and harder.

The allies of the Narak are coming out in the open more and more. That should be a sign in itself that the Narak are coming back. To finish the job of destroying the human race.

My guild, the Nightmare really do a great job of giving those that are willing to sell their soul to the Narak in the hopes of being spared, a one-way ticket to the hell that they have brought upon themselves.

The Nightmare have been out there, killing off the ferocious monsters effected by the current environment as well as the Royal Knights. The Royal Knights, like us, have a duty to protect us from the Narak and its allies. However, its militaristic philosophies that rule its government, is what has broken the human race and arkana into these two factions.

There will come a day, that the Narak will come in full force. Soon, the two factions would have to unite into one to save humanity from being destroyed.

In the meantime, my job is to destroy the Narak's messengers, and humanity's traitors.
