Dead Diaries

Battle. Blood. Death. These are the 3 thoughts people tend to think of and see during war and I was no exception. I found myself cornered by a number of blazes in a small room with tnt stacked up behind me. What I did next was not an act of heroism nor an act of overcoming my fear, no, but rather it was an act of recklessness. Armed with only a gun, I aimed for one of the blazes. I don't know what even went through my mind at that moment and I'm not sure if I even pulled the trigger in the hope of taking the blazes down with me. I don't know what happened next or how the tnt was ignited, maybe the blazes shot first. All I knew was there was a deafening bang instantly followed by a flash of light.

And that there was my life's story. I suppose most people think I'm a hero but I don't think of myself as one although I was a captain who went down with their ship. I never kept a diary while I was alive but I decided it was time I wrote one as it's very boring being dead. Of course I could always help or haunt the living but there are certain rules of doing so. Death even gave me a manual about death, however I don't understand most of it and so I find myself falling into boredom as I don't want to face the unknown, to me, consequences of breaking Death's rules. Again most of the dead interact with the living so I don't even have them for company.

Though I don't understand the meaning of death, at least Death gave me a manual unlike Life. Perhaps I would have had another one of my numerous 'cat lives' had I not been blown up to smithereens. Death has even confirmed to me that he and Life would often argue about who's realm I should belong to as I often did a lot of reckless and dangerous things. To be honest I rather enjoy being slightly reckless but now that I'm dead I guess the adrenaline and risk of recklessness is no longer there.

I desperately long for my sister and my best friend. Although I of course want the Frostbourne to win the war, I can't help but think to myself that I wouldn't mind if we didn't and Lyria and Azura died. At least we'd all be able to be together again and maybe they can figure out Death's rules and maybe just maybe we can haunt and prank the victorious Nether king together. Perhaps it's for the best that I stick to writing rather than allow myself to think these thoughts.

Having spent ages writing out my entire life story. I'm now bored again rather quickly. I also badly miss Lyria and Azura so I think I should leave them my diary inside Azura's lab for them to read. Now that I think about it Azura probably won't read it when she sees it's a diary but I'm sure Lyria will read all the way till the end. I know she can't contain her curiosity sometimes, especially when it comes to other people's diaries. I remember Azura lost the plot when she'd accidentally left hers lying around one day and Lyria ended up reading through half of it even after she realised it was a diary. Hmm I do hope they don't think it's someone playing a cruel joke on them.

I find myself adding this extra note because of my loneliness. I don't know whether I'm breaking Death's rules but as you know I've never been the one to keep things on the safe side. I miss you both Lyria and Azura and I bet you are missing me so I'm leaving you this diary. I want you to know that I'm still hanging around somewhere and no it's not someone playing a joke on you both I promise. I miss you both so much from the best person no, captain no, soldier no, sister and friend you've ever had Doraine Wintona
