Wasteland (RP Storyline)
Twisting Dreams Pt.1: The Battlefield Chosen.
She lay in bed awake. For nearly 2 hours Ditto had tossed and turned. Tossed and turned because no matter how hard she tried to think of other things, it was always the same. Everytime she closed her eyes...He was there. Sometimes with his once pink hair, sometimes white, but it was always him. Why did it always have to be Cloudster she thought of, dreamed of? Why couldn't she think the thoughts that use to come
so easy to her? Brightly colored eggs or maybe bashing a vorpal bunny in the head with a stick. He was always invading her happy thoughts. It might be an image of him standing and laughing with his brothers and sisters, or a remembered hug, so tight & close that even now, far away from him, still made her breathless. Sometimes an image of his flirting with ladies, the one that gave her knots in her belly. But, the worse one of all for Ditto, was the recent image of when he looked at her, friendly, yet blankly, and had not known who she was. That hurt worse than any wound ever had. She would rather him, no, would have been ecstatic had he looked at her with a terrible rage than to have not remembered her. Not remembered his brothers, his home, his name, his very life. Grabbing a nearby pillow, Ditto pulled it over to cover her face and let out an an exasperated yell. She was near tears at her dilemma. So tired, so sleepy, but too afraid to dream of him yet again. She almost didn't hear the faint and female voice call her name. Curious, since she didn't recognize it, Ditto moved the pillow off her face and turned her head in the direction from where the voice had come from. It was dark, darker than she was use to and could only see the outline of a woman's figure near the curtains of her bedroom window. Being who she was, Ditto sat up & smiled sweetly. "Hiyas. Who are you?" "Someone who can offer a solution to your problems". A beautiful blonde lady whom she had never seen, stepped away from the window and closer to Ditto. "I can aide you in obtaining what you most desire." Slightly confused, Ditto scratched her head and then smiled, asuming the lady could help her get some much needed shut-eye. "Ohhh. So, you are here to help me sleep?"
The lady came closer and as she did, her appearance changed to that of lovely elven woman with greenish hair. The woodelf shook her head in the negative, and as she did so, her appearance took on that of a drow. "Nay. But, you will sleep once your mind is at ease. Your troubled by a man. I know how to help you with that."
Ditto's eyes widened, "You mean Cloudster? You mean you want to help me attain HIM?" This didn't sound probable, nor was she even sure she'd even want to try. There was a good reason why they broke up afterall....Friendship. And she opened her mouth to explain it to the woman, when the woman spoke again.
"Nay. That is not what you desire. You desire not his love for he has scorned you, young Quantium. You desire vengence."
Ditto stood up straight & shook her head firmly. "NO. I dona want revenge. Cloudster has done not a thing to hurt me on purpose. He is my friend. He would never hurt me! He helps me. He listens to me. He....", she stopped what she was about to say, because it was only the wish of a young woman, but the strange lady, as if knowing her thoughts, finished it. "He what? He "loves" you?" The stranger threw her head back in an evil, dark laugh. The laughter wasn't a happy one and felt like a knife in Ditto's heart. "
He no more loves you than he's loved the sleepers and loose ladies that he has taken to his bed. No more than he loves a cloak he tosses off if it gets too warm. He slighted you. He humiliated you. He USED you. And you,my nieve Quantium lass, are the only one who didn't see it."
She stood there, furious and confused. Unable to move. Who was this oman saying these awful things to her...the awful, hurtful things that, coming from the stranger's mouth, oddly rang true. The fury she felt at the stranger began turning into a fury towards Cloudster. A fury that she could not comprehend and made her feel faint. She would have fallen too, if it had not been for a hand from behind that came out to steady her. Ditto turned to see a jolly looking fellow dressed in bright
yellows and greens. He must have found something humorous because he suddenly burst out in merry laughter.
"Ahhh Xiom, although you are still the most beautiful of any creature, save Arioch himself, you are most assuredly incorrect." The now evil looking woman took a step backwards away from the bright fellow in yellow and green. "What matters this "love" that you speak of? You confuse the child's mind with things that do not concern her. Love matters not. It serves only to complicate things. And complicated things are most assuredly boring and drab." The jolly man tilted his head just then. " The way that you, Xiom, are boring and drab to me now. This Cloudster fellow. He is good as a friend. A most assuredly good fellow. But
Eli...", the man leaned close to Ditto's ear. "...now there is a man you can
have fun with. A most assuredly playful and fun time."
Ditto listened to the jolly man and was about to agree when a loud masculine, booming voice, that she found familiar, but had never heard before, rang out. "ENOUGH! Both of you stand down! She is not to be your battlefield. She is of ME. She is MINE."
_____________________________________________________________
The past weeks have been chaotic. Baeleron missing, brothers warring with brothers, a fued, brothers quiting refusing to fight another brother, and a brief fallen out with Ditto.
My tone has been strict and hard these days. Caring less about the people
instead caring more about obediance. For me it all started with the lack of
loyalty that beldon had shown me. Was I not appointed as General to command? So I thought. That is how I decided to hold on Maximus's punishment and go after Beldon because of his disobediance to a commanding officer. I cared not who I hurt. No longer was I the man. I am a general only by name. I demanded loyalty and respect yet a good general would have the loyalty and respect given freely by those that served under them in command. I am a fallen General.
Then there is Ditto. I love her, I can truely say that. It is hard for me to
love for my whole existance being as cursed as it is. The cursed one should be my name. She loves me dearly and trusted me completely. We made love for the first time the other day. Twas her first time and meant a lot to her and to me that I should be the one, and how she felt towards me. The very next day caught up in the heat of battle, I switched over from the man to the general and not thinking on the consiquences used her by lying. I had asked her to make a gate to Beldon's house so that we may talk to him. Once there we tried to set fire to his tower. She was greatly hurt and her complete trust of me broken. War is war and so I thought nothing of it until...later. That night in the candle lit room
we talked and worked out the problem. I am grateful that she has forgiven me. She has brought something in my world that I have never yet had.
Brother's now refuse to fight their own. Some have lost their respect for me for them thinking I have no respect for them. I have total respect for all brothers and have been loyal to them all. I just expected the same and when it was not shown. I went away from being a man to being a general and ordered respect. Orders should be followed though regardless or punishment shall be dealt out. Even to those I respect and care about. A general...I am a warrior, did Baeleron make the right choice then on giving me this position? His return will solve many problems and give this chaotic guild more order. Humorous statement that
is...but true.
I underestemated Beldon. That underestimation led me to be careless in battle. It will not happen again should it arise.
