ONE - Tʜᴇ Dᴏᴠᴇ

"Whoa! Look over there!"

"She's stunning..."

"The rest of the group is just as pretty!"

It seemed like they were all smiling at me. Sister... my friends... everyone. I reach out to her, to everyone.

My eyes open. "Just a dream... surprising" I rolled my eye.

My name is Fretia. I don't remember my last name. I don't remember who my parents are. I know they were caring, but I lived a longer then them. My sister... what happened to my sister? Friends... do I have any? Is my name truly Fretia? I know I'm a woman... my looks... it's been so long since I've looked in a mirror...

My hair is complicated... black and white... mask on half of my face. My eye color is brown, my height? I'm not sure.

"Lady Fretia... the lady has requested your presence..." I nodded and motioned for the cicin mage to go off and fulfill the rest of their duties. It's my job to monitor the movements of Murata, the pyro archon. How I despise her. 

I walked and walked until I reached the Tsaritsa's hall.

"You may enter"

The doors flung open, I made sure to watch my steps carefully, as to not trip and embarrass myself in front of her majesty. I kneeled before her, oh how she was so very lovely, the Tsaritsa, my master.

"It seems you are in a better condition than last time, my darling Fretia. I understand you are in unbearable pain so I'll try and make this quick, please give me everything you remember, speak with honesty." My vision was blurry, I can't see, however I know my mouth is moving. "Oh Fretia, how it pains me to see you like this. So I will give you a special mission that is sure to get your spirits up, and maybe even make use of that special delusion I had gifted to you..."

"Thank you my lady..."

"You, go and fetch Tartaglia this instant, I have a matter I must discuss with him..." How could this be?! How would Signora, one of the most trusted members of the Fatui Harbingers (and the one that got on my last nerve) be killed by a simple outlander?! Such a farce shall not be forgiven! Sloth... that's all she displays. If she can't kill that weakling... then I shall.

"Whatcha thinking about my lady?" I scoffed "None of your business Anastasia..." she pouted "what a way of speaking my lady! If her majesty catches you in the act, she'll surely criticize your choice of words!" Anastasia was the Fatui's nuisance, but our most diligent member. According to her, she was too good to be part of the 11 Fatui Harbingers. The nerve of that woman. She always had a childlike tone of voice and a crude way of dressing, however, I can't say much due to my dress being a bit... exposing. I suppose it can't be helped.

"My lady! I have found the location of that traveler that's big talk in those three nations! The honorary knight is apparently one of their aliases, perhaps I should ask around and see what happens!" I glanced in her direction "do so, and don't get caught. I'm counting on you Anastasia." She giggled "yes ma'am!"

"You called?" I turned to face the ginger "about time... but yes, yes I did" he gave his usual, cheeky grin "oh my! Have you finally chosen to confess your undying love for me?" One flick of the wrist and I had one shard of ice pointing to his face, ready to penetrate his forehead. "Perhaps I shall confess how badly I want you dead." The shard fell and broke into tiny pieces, melting away. "I requested you because I want you to give me intel on that pesky outlander... I have my own plans to go and kill-"

"Forget it." My eyelid twitched "what did you say?" He immediately shut his mouth "repeat it Ajax..." he slightly opened his mouth, if anything, he dug his own grave once he spoke those two words "it's nothing my lady..." I paced around him, if he didn't talk, I would make him talk. "I'm not all that cruel, so let me hear it..." the silence was absolutely ear piercing. "Forget the idea of killing the traveler... he already beat Signora... he beat me as well... whose to say he can beat Scara-" "has he even bested him in battle yet? Or met him?" He shook his head. "Then there is no possible way he could defeat me..."

"Are you sure about this, my lady? They have defeated a god, a dragon, and he could possibly defeat Murata as well!" I chuckled. "If this outlander is so powerful, then perhaps I shall kill them with my own hands instead of using my vision..." "Then you've severely underestimated him..."

"It won't be a problem... besides..."

"Traveler! Look over there!" Aether turned his head "greetings comrade! My, it's been awhile!"
