[@PaulHaynek] [@Enkryption] [@The Irish Tree] [color=fff79a][b]"Alice..."[/b][/color] Kerry opened her eyes to find herself in her room, lying on her bed with her arm stretched out toward the ceiling, as if she was reaching out for something...or someone. Her face felt oddly wet and, upon touching her cheeks with her fingers, found out why. The hornet had been crying in her sleep. No surprise, given the dream she had, though it'd be more apt to call it a vision. A glimpse into the past life of Cecilia Lewis, the human maid before she became the Queen of Diamonds. A life filled with pain, heartache and...war. Can one call it a war when it becomes a twisted game of chess? Where the giving and taking of "pieces" are lives ruined and discarded? For gods know how long? Friends and loved ones turned and then turned on each other for measly patches of land? Kerry thought she had seen the worst war had to offer, but that was.....That was.... Tears ran anew as her head fell into her hands, sobbing. She peeked over to the near completed nest and thought of Gwen. ....No. [color=fff79a][i]Enough...[/i][/color] No more.

The words she has to say for Alice...for Cecilia will be powerful enough. And it would seem she wasn't the only one, seeing how Liliana and Eula were heading toward the same destination as well.
