"Hey Delphi I've been meaning to ask you for a while but, what happened to your eye?" My eye? "Yeah I've been wondering about it for quite some time now." W-well umm... I don't really know that time is a blur for me. Anyway I have to go so uh s-see you later. "Huh? Was it something I said?" No, it's not you it's just the topic that made her fidgety. This is Vladimir you'll here more about him in his own story. "What does that mean?" Well... ok I'll tell you since you are her friend. "Ok?" This one who is talking is just some one who knows Delphi.

How do you think she lost her eye? "Well it must have been in a fight right?" Well your not wrong it was a fight just not the type you think. You see it was some time ago when it happened but her brother Carla did that to her. "Wait her brother did that?" Yes. I don't know all the details but Delphi did something that made the king angry and she was to be put to death. But Carla, though it took many hours, pleaded with him to spare her life. In return he will take Delphis eye as a reminder to never defy his orders again. And that's what happened. "How do you even know this?" Because I was their when Carla took her eye. I was summoned by the king and when I got to the throne room I saw Carla tightly hold Delphis head to his chest while she frantically tried to push him away. Desperate to get Carla away from her. She had her snout closed so she couldn't bite him but no matter what I heard her screaming. Her voice was so filled with terror it nearly killed me. It was so horrible but I couldn't do anything about it. But that's not even the worst thing that happened. Her mother was their to but she didn't do anything about it! "Wait what do you mean?" What I mean is that she was just standing there watching her own son cut her own daughters eye out. While her father just sat on his throne smirking. I heard Delphis husband ,Alastair before he got killed by Carla, shouting for him to let her go but he just ignored his pleas. "What happened after that?" The next thing I knew Carla was holding his knife directly above Delphis face and then he started to carve her eye out. It made me so angry that Carla could do the to his own sister but what was most horrific was Delphi's screaming so loud despite her snout being forced shut. Her voice became horse and I couldn't take it anymore hearing her like that so I turned away and the second I did I heard that Delphi stopped screaming in pain and turned back around. Then I saw Delphi's eye drop to the floor along with Carla's knife. Delphi must have to weak because of the loss of her blood because she dropped to the floor to covering her empty and bloody eye socket starring with a look terror and betrayal up at her brother. Then she just ran away like she couldn't take the humiliation of being forced to bow down to someone lower than her. After that Delphi kept being punished and we had had a enough and so we took Delphi and fled and never saw Carla or her father ever again. "Where did you go?" You see that mansion over there? "Yeah." We built that. "You did? But why?" Isn't obvious? We did it for Delphi so we could get her away from Carla and her father and bring her to a place where she could finally heal her wounds that are both mental emotional and physical. "What did she do after all she been through?"Well the first few years of living in our new home were a blur. Delphi didn't leave her room for over a decade. "What!?" Why do you think she's so damn skinny? It's because she didn't let anyone go into her room or even allowed herself to leave it. We were really worried for her since she didn't allow us to help her cope. But thankfully after a decade or perhaps a little more than that she left her room. And then we realized just how much she was suffering. "What do you mean?" She was covered in her own blood and there very deep gashes all over her neck and chest and she was really weak. She was so weak she looked like she could just die with just one touch. "How did that happen to her?" Because, you saw those scars on her neck and chest right? "Yes." She did that to herself. "What!!?" It's true. It was like she was torturing herself all over again. After we saw what she did to herself she collapsed on the floor and we rushed to help her. And thankfully she let us finally nurse her back to health. And then we lived a good life for a long time. "Really?" Yeah. Delphi had suffered so much throughout her whole life even with us. But, Leaving the dreadful and painful life behind us she has finally made peace with herself and we just couldn't be happier for her. But for some reason she never talked about what happened to her ever again. Sure she still has nightmares every now and then but she is working her way through her trauma. Of course we respected her silent wish to never talk about it and we swore that we wouldn't until she brought it up and wanted to talk to us about what she been through. "Oh..." so don't take it personally when she shuts down when you ask her about her past. She has had a difficult life and is trying to start over and if that means to never let anyone know about what happened to her and remain a complete mystery then we respect that and we will do what ever she wants to do as long as she knows we are here for her. "Well that's good that Delphi is ok now and thanks for telling me I'll try to be more careful of what i ask her for now. See ya guys. "
