Estie's Diary Entry - 17 Sept 2309

It has been a long time since I last wrote. I lost the urge to after everything.
Things moved rapidly after Zoran coaxed me to join him on a mission in Oslo.
We infiltrated the palace to gather information on the King. He publicly encouraged the rebellion whilst there were more than justified rumours that behind close doors he was funding the Anubis forces to keep the fights off his land and to protect him. I was disgusted, as the leader of the rebels I felt trully betrayed. Perhaps that is why I wasn't on the mark when we had to escape. I ended up caught by guards as Zoran and I ran through the great halls. Zoran was ahead of me when a guard tripped me up, sending me sprawling to the floor and pinned by more guards. It sickened me when Zoran looked back and it that moment I knew he wasn't coming back for me, he jumped straight out the window. He had no choice, bullets were flying by that time but it hurt to be so alone.

Anyway, I was taken to the dungeons and thrown in with another girl, Tessla. She was incredible support and over a few days, I think a week we'd planned to escape. The plan worked and the next day we were running for it out the palace and met another woman as we ran, Krystal, an ice mage. Funnily enough, Zoran had sent a small rescue team (Jonas, Ector, Ace and Jadeel) who were running to the palace. Of course we eventually met halfway and came back to the port to get back on board the ship. However Zoran had left us all. That son of a bitch left all of us there to be captured and inevitably executed. We ran for the woodland on the outskirt of the city, it gave some cover whilst we tried to find our bearings and plan. The time wasn't enough, we were ambushed. We took quite a beating and were close to being finished when Tsorak appeared with re enforcements. Tsorak was Zoran's first mate, he was a bit of idiot in my opinion but he saved us with his team. He told me Zoran was dead. He wasn't. But he had very nearly been, I never found out the details.

We all returned to the Leviathan, most of us immediately rushed in the Infirmary; Tessla and I especially, since we had been starved for a week and had been beaten badly in captivity as well as in the ensuing fights. I myself had a nice collection of bullet holes in my thighs. Zoran was still unconscious when we returned. Apparently he'd had somesort of fight, been badly stabbed and then tranced. The trance apparently saved his life.

Once everyone was awake and fine, I noticed Zoran wasn't talking to me. I think he could tell I wanted to take his head off his shoulders for leaving us all. Ector also hated him but more because I had told him about my feelings for the captain. I'd realised by this time why I felt so sickened why he jumped out the window, I'd fallen for him. This is when Ector admitted he had done the same, only he had fallen for me.

We had a beach party to celebrate us all being alive and rescued. It failed miserably to raise spirits. Ector and I left that night together to find any rebels who might have survived the slaughter at London. We found a good few. I also stepped down from leadership and gave the role to a good friend of mine in Paris. Eve does a brilliant job. With my survivors and Ector, I set up a new base in Japan. High amongst the tree canopy in a deep dark forest where viera and rogue samurai live. We made friends with both of the other groups in the forest. We live happily together. My base control things like battles, we strategise, fight and assassinate.

I've literally just come home after an assignment in Egypt and as usual arrived too late to fly my craft (The Flitter) into the forest. Light levels are much too low so I am staying in town at the tavern. The townsfolk are very anti Anubis so we are welcomed as heroes. However tonight even here I feel uneasy and cannot sleep. Hence I'm writing in here. I think I'll go have a drink at the bar.
