Eric and Diane
Added 2023-01-23 22:57:10 +0000 UTCThe Guard to the Witch of Draegnar, Diane has seen most things that would drive men mad and fought with quite a few of them. However, she'd yet to find the true challenge that would make her fists bleed and her heart pump. All of that seemed to change when she met one of the most infuriating young men to ever venture into The Root.
Having grown up believing that strength was only found in the body, magic, guns, swords, and anything else a crutching means to an end, Diane grew angry that she might have to humble herself to one her master favored, especially one so young. What the guard hadn't known was that Eric had played this game before with her, and he'd lost it pitifully. With his knowledge of future events, he sought to prove to her and himself that nothing was out of reach of the Son of Poseidon, not even her with her incredible strength.
That proof soon came when Diane allowed herself to be taken by the Flames of Raganthor, the spell feeding upon her greatest fears and deepest seeds of anger. Thus Eric learned of her and her beginnings. A gladiator with fists constantly restrained, he knew that she strived for great combat: no swords, no spells, no gun, just the rumblings of her fists against her opponent. Eric set the stage for that and there she understood why her master favored him. It was also there that he swore he'd provide her with the greatest battles that might set her flaming heart at ease. Having fallen beneath his banner, she'd see these great battles he promised. If nothing else, it'd be a damn fun ride. She could always break his damn back if he failed.
