Daniel Mackensen, also a retired HRA soldier, smiles as he takes a sip of water. 

"Remind me to buy you a drink or two. Best Lord Marshal hands down."  

Daniel Mackensen would just drink from a bottle of Carrion.

"Can't fuckin' take this shite anymore."

Daniel mackensen would sip on some carrion. "If only we even had iron.. Good enough for me though."

Daniel Mackensen would drink some water, trying to get out of a crippling alcohol addiction. 

"And nobody of value was lost in the execution."

Daniel would look the news over while eating breakfast and smile. 

"I can't imagine getting news from anywhere else." He says between bites of food. 

After Amelot’s death, Daniel tried to not put it to any attention to focus on the battle in hand. Then Darien fell. He tried to focus, but it’s hard when two of your comrades die while you’re looking at them.

“Have fun in the seven skies, comrade.” He’d solemnly toast, wondering himself when his time to die is.

Daniel Mackensen would have seen Amelot get stabbed and fall into the magma, with his adrenaline slowing it down. All he could let out is a no filled with sadness, anger, and denial all at once. Instinctively he throws out a couple of gold coins off the bridge as a tribute to a close friend, having to focus on the fight ahead without him.

After the dust cleared and the Inferni defeated, All Daniel could think of was the chilling, gut-wrenching fact that all this bloodshed wouldn’t bring him back. All he could do is go back to Haense, and Amelot would always remain there. 

“You were a close friend, one of the first  non-acquaintances I had in Haense. I’ll buy you a drink in the seven skies, friend. Don't worry about repaying me, the money was well spent.” A teary-eyed Daniel would smile, amidst the death among him.
 

I’m not sure why it happened, but I logged into lotc only to be greated by /auth, when I haven’t even set it up. Could someone maybe help reset it for me? I know it’s probably suspicious but I do own the account, probably gonna go change my password real quick though.

Daniel would have heard the news from Jack, before frowning and holding back tears.

“He was the best comrade I could ever have in that endless void. May his soul never return there...” was all he could muster before leaving to down some Carrion.

“The goddamned Scyflings will pay for this..” Daniel would raise up a glass to toast for his fallen comrade. 

The 10^th of Snow’s Maiden, 1767

“The healthy human mind doesn't wake up in the morning thinking this is its last day on Earth. But I think that's a luxury, not a curse. To know you're close to the end is a kind of freedom.”

It was about a couple minutes past midnight. Lily had gotten a habit of writing in her journal about anything from the happiness of day-to-day life in Haense to topics like love and sadness. She would take pride in this, as sometimes she would flip through the journal and smile at past events. As she wrote she noted that today was boring, with not much happening besides the sunset being as beautiful as always. But this day was different. As she continued to write in her journal a piece of paper would slowly emerge from it, clearly intentionally put. She would notice said paper and take it out, remembering why she had put it there in the first place. 

The paper would have been written in red ink and was given to her seemingly randomly before her oathing. She had shown it to Erwin after she had noticed and picked it up, questioning who gave it to her and why it was there for her in the first place. She thought nothing of it at the time, but kept an eye out for anything unusual that could and would have happened. Time passed, battles were fought, and she had slowly forgotten about that paper and its significance. 

“Marked for death. Har har.” She’d laugh to herself as she pushed the note aside. 

Lily thought about it for a minute, thinking that maybe this note had more significance than she initially thought. She dismissed that thought, as Haense was a relatively secure city and there would be nothing to worry about, as her fellow brotherhood members would protect her like she would them. She smiled at the thought. It was a good feeling to have comradeship like that. She quickly added this thought to her journal before dozing off from sheer tiredness.

On any normal day it would have been true. 

Except this day was different.

Lily would never wake up from her slumber, and the news would only be brought up the next afternoon, when Lily was found sitting at her desk with a knife in her back, and the note laid like a bookmark to the page in her journal she was writing before her sleep.

“My joining of the Brotherhood was the best thing I’ve done in my life, and I wouldn’t take it back for the world. As much as I’m not the best fighter, I try and I would die in the heat of combat if it meant they would come back home safe.”
