Beatrix smiled warmly at Garnet.

Garnet tried smiling but ending up in tears. She wiped them off and stood up. "Sorry, Beatrix. I must stay strong..like you have."

Beatrix nodded and got up, she saluted Garnet and went back into the castle.

~~1 week later~~


"I see that I am growing weaker as time flies by. I read the scroll the messengars give me, I cannot believe how many deaths are caused in 7 days. I just hope Zidane surives...please..." Garnet closes her book.

Alexandria News

Many have died, only very few are remaining! Nobody can believe this, almost half of our army is gone!

-----------------------------------------------------------

8th week

Guess who's winning, not us! We are down to 20 soldiors!

-----------------------------------------------------------

"One year has passed my by..and Beatrix has been comforting me. I don't think I can survive this. I'm living a mess!" She throws her book at the wall. She slides down her velvet chair and sobs.

Beatrix came in again to comfort her.

-----------------------------------------------------------

10th week

They are finally coming home. Their General has waved the flag for he is the only man in the field. Congradulations, all of the men of Alexandria. To the women of Alexandria, await for your husbands and children at the train.

Garnet read the news and had doubt in her heart..Zidane was not going to come home.
