Vieraslayer

Even Alvyne fears for Jote's life. And she knows exactly how Carraka operates.

The Diary of Alvyne Vierahealer

Mjrn is a very effective leader, in her own way. She managed to organize a search and rescue team to help hunt down Carraka and Atlas and save Jote. I am on the team. My job is to sniff out the Reena. Viera have excellent noses, but we Reena have an even better sense of smell.

I am kind of afraid. Carraka is powerful. She slew two of the Viera who attacked our tribe. I figure she ran off when she saw the other Reena being killed by Viera, like I did. I was lucky enough to run off into the brush unseen. I thought all the other Reena were killed, but I guess I was wrong. If Atlas and Carraka weren't such monsters, I would join with them. Carraka told me that when I got a little older she wouldn't mind if I mated with Atlas. You know, more Reena in the world gives us a chance to survive. We've been around before Humes. Our race is nearly as old as the Viera.

I hope the Reena aren't hurting Jote too badly. Carraka can be vicious, and Atlas listens to her as though she was a Hume. He'd do anything she wanted him to do to poor Jote. And Carraka hates Jote above all other Viera. Most Reena would. She did some serious damage and we are vindictive creatures. Not to mention Carraka could just about smell that the Viera were after her. Mjrn was Jote's sister, she had seen Carraka, and she got away. That would've scared the big jerk.

If I had to, I don't know if I could kill another Reena. Evil or not, Carraka may be the only other female Reena left in all of Ivalice. Not to mention she's probably going to have pups soon enough. Reena pregnancy is much shorter than that of a Viera. Even shorter than a Hume woman's. About seven months, really. It's surprising, considering we live so long. I mean, the gestation period of a Viera is normally 18 months, a Hume half that much.

Some of Carraka's words still echo in my head. She bothers me.

"Alvyne, you could join us, you know. We could restore the Reena to its former and rightful position as the rulers of the Wood. I don't see what you find so fascinating about those filthy rabbits. They are just meat after all."
