Diaries of a Seer

by Kurogane7

A diary detailing an Eldar's training as a Warlock under the watch of the Seer Council, and starts gaining relationships on his way to becoming a Farseer. My first story here, and the first one to be written in the style of a diary. Reviews would be nice. DISCONTINUED

Day 2

Dear Diary,

I have just received orientation today about training…I was right in my assumptions about it being excruciatingly difficult. This morning, I just watched as a Farseer walked in our barracks with a pair of Warlock bodyguards and a Bonesinger surrounding her and gave us a speech about our duties as psykers in the Seer Council; that it is our job as Warlocks to serve as commanders and elite troopers on the battlefield answerable only to the Autarchs and the Farseers. Only the best of us are given the honor of being among a Farseer's retinue, and even fewer graduate from being a Warlock to becoming a Farseer lest their ambitions take them to a seat on the Seer Council. One fool had dared to whisper to a colleague next to him, Nic'ya I think his name was—the Farseer must have heard that, because he was doubling over in pain as he was clutching his head.

"Might I ask what it was that you said?" she asked, holding her fingers to the forehead of her Ghosthelm, gripping tightly onto her Singing Spear as she turned to his direction. "Nothing, sir!" screamed Nic'ya, trashing around in agony, still clutching his head, "Just something foolish that you need not concern yourself over, sir!" Once she released her fingers from her helmet, and relaxed her grip on her spear, she said the words that we would all remember from this day forward, "Any sexist whispering of this sort from any of you, and you will not see the end of it. I will not tolerate sexism or sexual harassment for that matter, and one word of it, and you may not be as fortunate as Nic'ya here. Now carry on!" Once she said that, she and her retinue of warlocks left the barracks.

I may not have heard what he said, but I'm sure that Nic'ya must be a chauvinist parasite if he made that comment—I heard him last night, when him and his friend were discussing about women in the military as we were setting up our quarters, and they reached a disagreement as to whether or not they should be allowed to fight in conflicts such as Lorn V.

In any case, after the Farseer used the power I could identify as Mind War on Nic'ya, I became nervous—would I be able to meet the expectations of this woman? Will I even survive training in this place? By Eldrad, this will not be an easy training at all.
