These are three journal entries based on Raven's back story. I skipped quite a lot of things between entry 2 and entry 3... sorry about that; but if I have time somewhere in the future, I might update some more entries. So for now, this fanfic remains 'completed'. To those who are already following me; I am very sorry for neglecting to update my other fanfic, I will try to work on it some time in the future.
Note: Raven is at base class until the end of entry 2, however, if you want to, you can imagine him as a different class. Enjoy!
Entry 1:
06:00- I was awoken by the sound of birds chirping and the warmth of the morning sunlight on my cheeks. After making a few stretches, I changed into my armour and headed out. That day was an important time of my life as it was my first day as the commander of the Velder army. The position was only temporary though; well until they find out where the former commander, Edan, went. He had been missing for almost a month now but still no clue regarding his whereabouts. I'm sure we'd be able to locate him eventually though.
06:30- On my way to the Velder palace, I met up with Alex, my best friend. He was like a brother to me. We exchanged greetings and held a brief conversation. Although it was subtle, I noticed the impatient tone in his voice. It was strange as he had never talked to me with a negative tone before. I dismissed the thought however thinking that it wasn't a big deal.
Immediately after our conversation, a royal guard, Vanessa, approached me and assigned me to my first mission. My task was to select a few elite warriors to fight off a hoard of nasods that was approaching Feita village. The mission was top secret so the amount of soldiers I could take was limited. I chose four officers: Lowe, Penensio, Noah and Speka and only a handful of soldiers to assist me in the upcoming battle.
17:30- Although the mission had taken a whole day to complete, it was a huge success. Once I was relieved of my duties as commander, I quickly headed in town to purchase a bouquet of flowers and a gold ring that was decorated with a lime coloured jewel. It's time to put operation 'Propose to Seris' in action. Seris and I have been in a relationship for two years now and since today is our anniversary, it's the best time for a proposal.
18:00- The sun had completely disappeared under the horizon and the roads were lit bit by the dim street lights. I made my way through the town. All the stalls were closed and the place was eerily, quiet. This was strange since the streets would normally be bustling with shoppers at this time. I walked a bit further before I spotted a group of Velder soldiers down the street, standing in a defensive line. I was about to call out to them and ask if something was wrong but before I could even open my mouth, the group of soldiers surrounded me and I was pinned onto the ground by two soldiers. These sudden actions forced me to drop my sword and the bouquet of flowers. I tried resisting but my efforts were futile. I questioned the soldiers' actions but they ignored me. A man stepped forward from behind the soldiers; it was Alex. He had a guilty look on his face.
Raven you are under custody for criminal behaviour. Your execution shall be held on the morning two days from now. Was what he had said to me before I was forced onto my feet and dragged away. I screamed out to Alex, demanding for answers but to no avail. It wasn't long before he was out of sight and I succumbed to my inevitable fate…
