(Aphmau was gathering her things to go down to the docks. Garroth caught her attention, and informed her on the supplies he gave her for the trip, and that her house was getting renewed. I was in bed, and woke up to hammering. When I went outside, Aphmau was halfway to the docks, and Garroth had a slightly sad posture to him, as he kicked a nearby pebble out the way. I looked at the chest, curiosity took over me, as the chest sparked my interest, and I looked inside. I was surprised to see an engagement ring was the only thing left in the chest, and turned back to Garroth. He was talking to Dale, who was on the roof, and turned to me. I felt sorry for him, and sighed, patting his back to cheer him up.)

- Time skip - sometime later.

Day 6 - Return to The Twilight Realm
(I was there again; in the Twilight Realm. It was less shocking, this time. I grew close to Lucias, and he told me everything else he knew about Lady Diana, or....me...? He would smile, sometimes when he spoke about me, and ask if I luckily remembered anything from that ancient past. My answer was always 'no' or 'not really' and 'sorry', if he looked discouraged. We discovered a few things about each other, that night. Some things were random, like why him, of all the followers, stayed to wait on my return? Also, what the enchanted bottle of elixir around his neck does? Then, there's the undeniable truth.... I was slowly falling for him....)

Day 7 - Socializing in Progress
(It's been almost a week or so, since Aphmau left to find Levin's mom. I've been helping out the village. Not very social in that regard, but I've been working on the crops and stuff like that.)

Day 8 - Zoey's Powers
(I also helped a little with Levin, and Zoey ended up staying at the house for a while to take care of him, too.)

Day 9 - Greetings, My Lady
(A lot has happened since Aphmau left, and I thought it would stay peaceful for awhile, but I was very wrong..... I had another one of those dreams, where I disappeared in the middle of the night, while I was sleeping. I appeared in the realm with Lucias resting on the tree, and we talked about an eerie feeling that has been bothering us. We wondered if Phoenix Drop should be worried.)

Day 10 - Aruka's Breakthrough
(I managed to talk to some of the villagers, and barely hold up a conversation with a few of the sentient ones. I've been told that my smile was nice, and I'm very kind.)

Day 11 - Improving Phoenix Drop
(I've been helping the village out more, since yesterday. It felt nice to see the progress we made, after putting all the hard work. I managed to make a few more loaves of my homemade banana bread, before I ran out of ingredients. I stocked all the crops in a double chest so Lady Aphmau could sort it out, later.)

Day 12 - The Last Day of Peace
(Though, a peaceful week, after that. This was the last day of peace, and I knew that something bad would happen, after this. I tried to ignore it, but it kept resurfacing in the back of my mind. I didn't know what would happen; I just knew that it wasn't good, and we weren't at all prepared for it. It all struck us, like lightning in a bad thunderstorm, the next day.)

Day 13 - Zenix Pays A Visit
(I could feel the power of the man they called Zenix, as it was unleashed on the village. After I rushed some villagers in a safe spot, I took him head on with my own strength, which rivals his own. It was an even fight, until I let the mistake of him tripping me up, get the better of me. I tried to react quick, but he pointed his weapon at my neck, ready to strike me down, when Garroth blocked it, as he guarded me. I took this chance to gather my fallen weapons, and ran for a safe point, myself. I rushed to Aphmau's house, which the front half was gone, and stumbled down the stairs. As soon as I stood on solid ground, I fainted, collapsing hard on the floor, completely drained.)
Zoey: LADY ARUKA!!! (I faded out of consciousness, as a bright light engulfed me.) MY LADY!!!
