With a *flomph*, Diana threw herself onto her bed after a long day of hard work. It wasn't easy to go through the different classes and dealing with the lack of her family, but at the same time she had made new friends to fill that void and was learning so many new things she knew so little of beforehand. And then there was Vita, who was always there for her.
As a proper lady, she wore a proper pajama made of the finest materials in the Kingdom and depicting small animals rolling around. After getting comfortable by shuffling around for a minute, she looked over at Vita, who stood in the corner of her room like a guardian making sure that she was safe.
She liked to think so at the very least, but she could never read Vita's mind. Every attempt was met with a blank nothingness, like the thoughts inside a newly crafted weapon or a small bug. But it didn't bother all that much. Although it was still odd with Vita's, strange, behavior.
"Sleep well, Vita." she spoke softly to the "maybe" sleeping wendigo.
No reply back, other than a slight movement from the many vines covering Vita's body. With that, she dozed off, entering the realm of dreams, with drool already trickling down onto the pillow.
-Vita-
Alright, every-me, I'll keep this short and simple. This life is starting to become TOO boring for our tastes and something needs to be done. Any suggestions?
We could murder Diana?
... Why?
... I don't know...
Then why suggest-you are getting deleted, fuck you.
Now with one less Vita, anyone else with a brighter idea?
Well, the wannabe hero is getting their special day soon, right? We could totally bomb that party and piss people off!
Too easy. Besides, we don't know what people higher up are capable off. Not only that, but there is a 100% chance that there is some kind of evil force that want to do something big on that day. Would be rude of us to butt in on their fun. Any other suggestions?
The weird crystals mentioned in that book. Or is it diary?
How would I know. But you are pulling up something interesting there. A big problem is that the crystals are only found in that certain location mentioned in the book. And there isn't really a mention of where exactly this place is, only in some cave somewhere.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Well, we could try and get better material to make stuff with. Those posters do have requests for different, rare, creatures that we could take a bite out of.
Alright, sounds like a plan. The meeting for now is over, back to your stations.
Ay hold on a second someone is at the door.
-Real World-
Before the raised hand got a chance to knock on the door, it opened to reveal Vita's massive frame. The student who stood there felt his voice lodge itself in his throat and started to stutter incomprehensibly.
The wendigo just stood there, staring at him with its many eyes. No wonder he was the one chosen to hand out the invitation. They wanted him to die!
"A-a-a lis-letter-invitation for Diana from the young Lady Michelle Rachel Seastar! More information can be found inthislettergoodbye!" And he took a step away, politely turned around to give the letter to the amused Vita before sprinting into the dimly lit hallway, mana flowing on his legs to boost him further.
Vita looked at the letter and checked it for anything strange, and closed the door behind them. The letter itself was surprisingly ornate-looking, ignoring the sweat on it. There was even a wax seal on it, with what looked like a highly detailed crest, too. But the awe got shut down immediately because the crest is just a starfish. Why is their last name Seastar then?
Yadayadayada, status and nobility, humdidum the nobles in this university. And it's tonight in a few hours? And where is this place, a personal mansion?
Vita turned to look at the sleeping Diana and kindly tried to wake her up. Yet Diana just turned around, mumbling something about not wanting cookies. So as any collection of cells mimicking a wendigo, Vita just ripped Diana out of the bed and shook her around.
"What! I'm awake! I'm awake! Vita, put me down, why are you doing this!?" She shrieked as she was swung around in the air. Vita finally stopped, but kept her in the air as the letter was given to her. She read through the letter with wide eyes, and when finished reading it, she exploded with movement.
"Vita! Hurry up, it's an invitation from one of the royal families! Sleep can wait for tomorrow, we have to get dressed and ready to go right now!" She managed to shake herself free and ran to the wardrobe, where she started judging her clothes based on which ones were the most expensive looking. She showed one dress to Vita, but with Vita's lack of cultural knowledge, Vita wasn't helping much in finding the perfect clothing.
But after much stress, she settled on a simple yet fancy dress with silvery high-heels and finishing it all off with a hairpin with her families crest on it.
"Alright, I should be representable now. Now I know you don't like strangers, but please for the sake of our future don't harm anyone. Pretty please." Diana stood there with her hands together, looking at Vita with massive puppy eyes.
"... Alright. But never do that with your face ever again." The two left the room, locking it, and headed towards the area that the message described. They ventured outside the university grounds and traveled towards a large mansion in the distance. Before some narcissistic prick could show up and lend a hand to Diana, Vita picked her up with the vines and sped up.
The wind threw Diana's hair around, but it didnt seem to be the thing on her mind. Instead, she held her hair and thought out loud.
"I hope nothing goes wrong. I have heard some nasty rumors about the royals, and that Rubert-Ree fellow wasn't nice at all." She yawned and sighed, looking at the large gate that had the same crest as the Seastar royal family had.
