Day 01 - Unknown
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I opened my eyes my first view were two blue eyes in front of me. Just in this moment I was sure to find peace forever. You can say what You want, I believe in love at the first sight... Perhaps I know this boy long ago, but my memories only reach till the wake-up this morning. When I see this boy, blonde, blue-eyed, I feel somehow protected somehow safe. But there is a memory, the name "Keru", I think I'll call him so... Then I noticed two strange but familar looking creatures, a *batpig* (he hate this expression) and a walking cat (I feel some bond between us, I cannot describe what but there's something...) We also found two pads, a staff and a bow...
We gave each other names, we all have the same problem, we cannot remember anything older than a few hours... I'm called "Hika", the name's from "Keru" (the blue-eyed boy... :sigh:), the cat's called "Angie" and the *batpig* "Illusio" (don't ask me why... it's a stupid name, but I won't argue...)
-----
Then we checked the pad, perhaps there are informations about us... There were several files, but only three we were able to open, two empty journals and a letter...

Here follows the letter in my pad :
* Hello,
* when You read this file You won't remember anything, don't worry You will get Your memory back in time
* but it's necessary that You cannot now. It's time for Your training. The bow is supposed for You, it has its
* own powers, but these are only as strong than You. Be careful: This area is very dangerous and You have
* to fight. This training will last as long since You can control a little bit of Your own powers.
* BTW. You cannot use the staff, it's not supposed for You and don't try, it's very dangerous.
*
* Greetings, a friend

Keru has an equal message in his pad, but he is the owner of the staff. I wonder where the arrows are, I don't believe that this is a magical bow which shoots bolts of lightning... (:sarcastic laugh:)
-----
About an hour later Angie and Illusio got something to eat, vegetables, my favorites (:sarcastic:), but they aren't so worse if cooked by a master, Keru seems very skilled in cooking, the vegetables tasted really good...
-----
The author of the letter was right, it's a dangerous place, about 30 minutes after finishing our lunch, monsters attacked us. I was surprised as Keru defended all of us with his staff. In this moment I thought that I have to do something, either learn to fight without ammo or create some. Once one of these dark shades touched Keru, which caused him pain. I nearly saw him crying... I wished I could help him... The battle lasted about two hours...
After that the monsters vanished as fast as they arrived...
It was the best time to try the bow, and surprise THIS bow doesn't need ammo, it really shoots bolts of light... (ARGH!!!) Angie was really good skilled in armless fighting (she's a cat, don't challenge her claws...) The only one who seemed useless was Illusio... He has no useful attack, I wished I could comfort him, busdft I think that's more Keru's part...
-----
As we suspected the monsters attacked again... But this time there wasn't one defender, there were three. During the battle I saved Keru three times his life, I hope he accepts my payback for saving mine earlier the day... This fight lasted about three hours after that they were all vanished...
-----
We then decided to check the area around us and try to find a good place for our camp. And we found one, I think we found the perfect one. There was a lake, enough fuel for a campfire, enough food around and a lonely cave near. Perfecto! Without fighting this evening was really romantical, a cute and beautiful boy :sigh:, a lonely cave, a beautiful lake, enough to eat and a warm camp-fire... I wished it would last forever...
For the night we planned shift watch. I had the first, Angie the second, Illusio the third (the worst...) and Keru the last. My watch was really quiet, nothing real important happened, so the shift passed slowly away. Before I woke Angie I noticed that she and Illusio were sleeping near each other. (I think there are some emotions... g). I wake her and searched a place to sleep the rest of the night... First I tried a place opposite to Keru, but getting rest was an impossible mission, so I I moved towards him. I finally found rest as I snuggled near his chest. His heart-beat calmed me finally down, I wished I could lay there forever :sigh:...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 02 - Hika
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Like yesterday my first view were two blue eyes. I can be used to this... The day began with breakfast, which Keru has made before. And about an hour later our *training* for the day began.
Battle (2h), Rest (1h), Battle (2h), Rest/Lunch (2h), Battle (4h). After that there was no battle the rest of the day... At this moment we all were exhaused except Illusio (who still feels useless...) I think I got stronger, my shoots seem to be more powerful and they hit their targets more often. Today's shifts are totally reversed (Angie and Illusio both still insisted to get the worst shifts...)
-----
As Angie awoke me I noticed someone snuggling near me (my prince), it felt so right :sigh:. I then noticed that Angie snuggled near Illusio again and found rest for the rest of the night. The rest of the shift was really boring...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 03-07 - Hika
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The same old coffee like yesterday. Fight, Rest, Fight, Lunch, Fight, Peace... The same old coffee... Keru and I decided to sleep as a couple (we told each other about the resting problem...) [but don't even think dirty - I don't really need morning-sickness while we are attacked...] We also decided that we go taking a bath after the final battle for getting rid of our smells... (we still wear our underwear... same reason as above...)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 08 - Hika
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The only change are the monsters, they got bigger and stronger, nothing else happened...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 09-13 - Hika
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nothing new...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 14 - Hika
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We nearly lost this day, but then our guardian angel appeared, Illusio changed into one. Now he also has powerful attacks. I wonder if Angie has the same powers... The most weird thing was that the monsters don't bleed or else, they only disappear when deadly hit. BTW. The Monsters gained again power... After the battle Illusio transformed back to his *batpig*-form.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 15 - Hika
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It seem that Illusio has mastered his transformation-skill. He can now transform into his angle-form... I think the training isn't only for us humans, it's especially for Angie and Illusio, so they can manage to change into powerful forms...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 16-19 - Hika
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nope, nothing new... BTW. I think I lost my heart... ;)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 20 - Hika
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I cannot believe it, Angie can also transform in an angel (Angie now hits the spot). The transformation process took enough of my energy, but I think that's worth... She doesn't have anymore any offensive attacks. Her powers are very defensive; she can create an energy shield and she can summon healing powers. We noticed the healing powers after Keru tripped and badly injured his leg. It was fascinating seeing his leg healing in seconds. He said that the healing exhaused him but the pain on the other hand vanished... Now I have three angels around (Mine is Keru g)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 21-24 - Hika
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No first break anymore that means 5h battle in the morning and 4h in the afternoon... The monsters also got stronger again, but nothing else happened...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 25 - Hika
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First the worst part, the monsters changed, Illusio's attacks are now useless. But second the miracle, Keru managed Illusio to transform into a masked mage. Illusio has the ability to manipulate the reality and create Illusions (That's the source of his name...) but he also possess small elemental attacks. I think I've seen his body sometime in the past, but I cannot remember...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 26-31 - Hika
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The same old coffee except that Illusio fights in his mage-form...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 32 - Hika
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This night wasn't as good as the others before, I had a nightmare (like Keru), but I only can remember of millions of dead bodies...
During this day there weren't any enemies. We all decided to take baths to get rid of the last days dirt. And then we had an off feeling that we were expected somewhere else...
-----
We suddenly knew where we had to go and how to get there. It's very simple, it's only one step, but this step lasts for thousands of miles. It's an amazing feeling to travel this way, but it needs much energy. In few seconds we arrived in front of a house built in a river. I can remember someone talking about such a house, exactly two persons, a small little boy with a green hat and an older with spiky hair. Both seem so familar...
Then we noticed a man in a brown cloak in front of this house. He said something about being proud of us passing the first training and that we might return home. While returning we should regain all of our memories, but our recent of the last 30 days would fade away. And then he said that we don't need anymore our D3s. The next few days we shall relax before our mission continues. We have to wait for a third person, who has a different training before leaving...
