Entry #3: Acrea

I've neglected my journal for some time, I thought now may be a good time as any to update on my current condition.
 
It's been very difficult to process everything that has happened ever since the Capital was attacked. At the time all I could think about is whether my family were still alive. Dio was kind enough to accompany me with one of the legion ships to look for any signs of my family. When we arrived at the shelter they informed me that my parents had not survived. I managed to stay composed at the time what with Dio being there but I... Struggled. Everything I have done and worked towards has put me where I am today, and has been to prove to them that choosing to do the right thing can bring its own benefits. But after seeing those beasts destroy my home I just wanted them to be okay.
 
When we went to see the bodies there was someone in the room waiting. They were with the Empire, Sent by High Judge Krannec. The figure resurrected my parents and gave me a box with the lance inside, and a letter from the Judge. I will not divulge the contents of this letter; even though I can guarantee the security of my Journal I'd rather not risk it. I keep it with me at all times now, as a reminder of what's to come.

I spent a couple days with my parents, catching up with them. I'm glad to know they're alive, but I worry now for their safety, even with the Emperor's glorious return. It was only through choice from above that my parents were returned to me, there were many others much less fortunate who did not receive this treatment. I'm still not sure how I feel about that.
 
The loaded deck have been stationed in Oshen for a couple months now, providing security for the upcoming summit. It’s given me enough time to collect myself and get back to where I was. And with how high tensions are in the world, funnily it's the first time in a while where I feel like nobodys out to get us.
 
Until the next,
