Book 2 in the Fragmented Dreams Novel Series.
After her battle at the Cresent Club 20-Year-Old Diana Massey is ready for her life to go back to normal. Or as normal as your life can be when you are the reincarnation of a princess from another world...
"It really is you," the mystery woman declared, her arms outstretched. She rushed forward as Azar looked on, his expression puzzled. I could feel his happiness as his arms opened up, hugging her deeply. I was mystified because I could have sworn she was not there a moment ago.
As she nestled in Azar's arms her scarf fell from her head, revealing more of her features. I was admiring the color of her hair which was a peachy pink, falling in soft waves around her face. She was tall, almost as tall as Azar, with light brown skin that looked striking against her pale hair. I could tell that even under her long, baggy trench coat she had a slender but curvy body. Her deep green eyes were locked onto Azar, there was a faint smile on her face. The mystery woman had a round nose, full lips, and a sad expression etched into her eyes. Her feelings were faint but I could sense her sorrow. She wasn't wearing a talisman because I could see her small pointed ears poking out from her hair. Even in the dull afternoon light, it seemed almost like her skin was glowing to me. I glanced around but there were no other people on the street to notice our strange gathering. As I watched the pair I stood nervously to the side, afraid to interfere.

Who is this woman? Is she from Terra? I had to assume yes since she was speaking in Terrarish.
"Calliope what are you doing here?" Azar finally said after he was done hugging.
"I could say the same to you," she replied, her beautiful face frowning. "I have been looking all over for you. When I returned to camp no one knew where you had run off to. There were rumors that-"
"You came back? When?" Azar blurted out.
"My cover was almost blown so I had to pull out of my post," Calliope whispered, her gaze fell on me, lurking off to the side and she stopped talking.
Azar noticed her staring at me and he swore under his breath, switching to English. "Shit, oh sorry, Calliope this is Diana."
"Di-ana, is she...?" she repeated cautiously in slow English.
"Yeah, she knows about us so you don't have to pretend around her," Azar muttered.
I shot the fier elemental a look before introducing myself. "Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Diana Massey, reincarnated princess of Eirene or whatever."
"Princess, I'm sorry I didn't realize," Calliope murmured as she began to bow but Azar stopped her, as we were standing in public.
"Please don't bother bowing," I said, my face blushing.
Calliope stared at me for a beat before nodding. "As you wish, princess."
"Just Diana is fine," I added.
"Yeah, good luck with that, this one is a stickler for formalities," Azar chuckled. He smiled down at her and I could feel small waves of his admiration. He really liked this woman.
