The (Soon-To-Be) Princess Diary
Entry 1
Dear Diary…or should I call you Journal?
I guess I can decide later. Anyway, I guess I should let you know who I am. I'm Mist, the second youngest member of the Greil Mercenaries, and definitely older than Rolf no matter what he says.
Oh, yeah. The Greil Mercenaries is the group of fighters that my dad leads. We're called mercenaries, but we really only focus on doing good things for others, and not acting like other sellswords that do anything for gold. Though I did wish we had a little more gold, because whenever I ask dad for a new dress, he says we don't have enough for one. Way to go, dad.
Today Oscar sent me to fetch my dad and older brother who were training out in the forest. I don't know why they train out there instead of in the courtyard like everyone else. Must be a 'father, son' thing.
Anyway, when I got there, I was just in time to see dad lay a good one on my brother, who had tried to cheat. I laughed a bit. I mean, it was pretty funny. Only Ike didn't get right back up, which wasn't as funny.
Dad said he would be fine and dragged him into a clearing to rest. I was busy picking a few flowers, when big brother suddenly came to and called me 'mom'. I dropped my flowers and burst out laughing. I mean, really? Mom?
When Boyd, another member of the mercenaries, came grumbling down the path to find us, I decided that I had to tell him how big brother mistook me for our mom. Boyd joined in in the laughter and immediately took the opportunity to tease Ike for it.
As usual, Boyd kind of took it all over the top, though, so I started feeling a little bad that I had told him. Ike felt a bit better after trouncing him in a fight, but to make it up to him myself, I told Titania that Boyd forgot to do his practice swings, which was actually true. Titania is my dad's deputy commander, and she let Boyd have it. I can still see him swinging his axe out my bedroom window right now.
Anyway, I'm going to sleep now, diary. Good night.
-Mist :)
P.S. When I was learning my letters, I realized those two above form a smiley face. It's like a picture or icon of emotion or something. Since either no one knew what to call it or ignored me, like Boyd, I've decided to call it an emotional icon. Hmm…that seems too long. Let's just shorten it to 'emoticon'. There we go.

Arthur's Notes: A new story! Anyway, I got this idea when I was reading Moczo's Diary of a Wimpy Kid, in which Palleas writes a humorous diary about the events during Radiant Dawn. When this idea hit me, I knew I had to write it. If you end up enjoying this story, make sure to check his out as well, since this idea is based off his.
While the chapters here will be much, much shorten than I normally do, I'll keep this from updating more than once a day, to both lengthen it out a bit, as well as save you guys' emails from exploding. Each entry will follow along with the story and show Mist's take on events. This will be my first attempt at a more humorous fic, so we'll see how it goes. It is a humorous fic in nature, though, so don't try taking any of it too seriously. ;)
