Intro | Zombie outbreak | Safehouse | Mad dash escape!

When she served the first Fon Master, Ion the original, he told her that if she is weak and useless, she’ll be discarded. Arietta thought she was discarded the day the Fon Master chose Anise to replace her. The betrayal hurt, but she understood, even if she didn’t know on that day, it was actually the 7th replica of Ion who replaced the original who died.

When she served The Commandant, Van Grants, he taught her that only the strongest people with a strong willpower to fight for what they believe in will survive, even if the obstacles are insurmountable. He gave her the Isle of Feres to use as a headquarters to help her settle her grief over the lost of her Fon guardianship post. She was grateful to him to give her a job where she felt she can be useful and still remain loyal to her Fon master.

When she is with Largo the Black Lion, he taught her to fight for what she believed in and that it’s better to die honoring your dreams and your ideas than be a coward and run away from a battle. By Van’s command, he trained her in the artes of combat both offense and defense. His strict teachings mold her into a soldier to be a part of the God Generals ranks and he taught her how to transform her grief and her pain into vengeance, in which Arietta used it successfully to win her duel to kill Anise.

When her Mother, the Liger Queen, took care of her when she was a child, she taught her how to hunt. The Liger Queen taught her on the laws of the forest and how to rely on your instincts, your senses, and how to use your teeth and fangs to protect those who you care about.

Those are some of the few, but very important people who made an impact on her life during her early years at the Order of Lorelei and being a part of the God General team under Van’s command. The lessons she learned from them made her into the person that she is today - a young woman with a liger spirit that do not relent in battle or cower from the face of fear.

It was bad luck that her short vacation on the island resort turned for the worst. The nightmare was unexpected and she was unprepared in the upheaval of the nightmarish events. She brought only a small kit of healing gels as her first aid kit and that’s it. She had been on the hotel for a quiet year and she never experienced this type of trouble before. This was the first worst experience of her life.

For the past few days, she is exhausted. She fought the horde of the undead with all of her might, fighting to stay alive until she managed to find the safehouse. She witnessed the countless of horrors of what the undead did to the living as they ravaged on the living flesh, both adults and children alike. There was this one moment during her dash for survival where she saw a small group of zombies ripping a mother and her child infant apart for their meal. Arietta watched in horror as if it's happening in slow motion and became traumatized. She was unable to erase the memory from her mind. Once she found a safe spot in an alley in town, she cried in a sobbing heap and threw-up. Then she ran again and successfully found a safehouse.

In the safehouse, she was sleeping on the couch with her doll that she always carried for comfort and into battle. It was hot on the island of Banoi and there is no working electricity. The electricity poles died over the course of the few days when the zombie outbreak was spreading all over the town. She used up all of her gels to help heal herself and then she goes to sleep to restore her stamina. Unfortunately, there is no door in the safehouse that can lead her back to the hotel.

Being a warrior, she barricaded all the doors and windows as a defense barrier as a part of her battle strategy. There is food in the fridge, but the food can only last for a few days. She slept for a long period of time to rest, even when her mind is restless.

Her best friend Nolan, the liger monster and noble steed that came with her on vacation, was guarding her close-by. The animal was exhausted from the events too, but he was well-rested. His senses are alert for his nose and his instinct can pick up the scent of the undead. If it weren’t for Nolan, Arietta would have almost died from running and crying too much from the sheer nightmare of it.

It was in the afternoon that Nolan picked up the scent of rotting flesh from a distance. He nudged his master to wake up. When Arietta awoke, she bit her lip, knowing she must run to fight again and search another safehouse. Inwardly, she prayed that if she escaped and if she survived and made it to the next safe location, that location will contain the exit from this realm that lead back to the Hotel.

She only has a few moments to prepare for the harrowing journey ahead before the undead horde will break through the barriers she put up around the house. “Go wake the other person in the room.” She told Nolan as she rose up groggily, her mind pulling itself together, gearing for the battle up ahead.

[OOC: Okay, so when you tag, your character will be sleeping in the other room and you will be awaken up by a liger. But first, some notes:

1) This Arietta's history and canon is AU. Information on her AU can be found here. Her main account is gentle_liger. I'm only using this one for the icons. I shall use both interchangeably for this log. Arietta in this post is older and more experienced, and is 17-going-to-be 18 years old. While her offensive magical spells are strong, she's going to put her energy on reserve.

2) The mission in this post is to leave the safehouse with Arietta and her liger steed, Nolan, and make a mad dash to the next one from the invading zombie horde that is coming toward the safehouse. Since Arietta has been on the Hotel for a long-time, no need to explain to her what the hotel is. Yes, she's a long time lurker, but I never bothered to make a post for her until now lol.

3) This post is created for a Sync in mind, but this post is open to all. I will request CR-only to people she doesn't know. Smut is possible, but I only smut with Sync so far. Arietta is a submissive. I would like to request hurt/comfort because she is quite traumatized in her ordeal. Mutiple Syncs are welcomed (if you can handle it). If there is any questions, feel free to PM me! Have fun.
