Soldier 1987, or that's what she's been named, roamed around the dark desolate castle in which she had cleared of humans, she killed one thousand and five people while clearing this castle out for the rightful, as the others put it, queen of Nuvia, Nervania. She walked the empty halls she so mercilessly erased of life, halls she herself had ended many cries for help. She stopped walking when she saw a portrait on the wall. Of the previous queen and her son. She looked down at the table below and saw a gold crested ornament shaped like a dove, dazzled in sapphires.

"Why is this so..familiar..." 1987 whispers, picking it up a playing it around, tossing it around in her hands before placing it back on the table. She slowly walked across the hall and walked through a door into a large room.

"This place.." She mumbles, walking to the top of the stair case down. This scene so familiar..That's when the lights turned on and a party seemed to fill the room, despite anyone walking in.

1987 watched cautiously as chatter filled the ballroom but other soldiers didn't come at alert. She watches as a small women with long dark hair dazzled and talked to guests, who was she..why was she so familiar, that's when she felt the women's dark lavender orbs looking at her gracefully, soon a boy with the same eye colour but a little taller then the smaller but older looking lady, he had the same lavender eyes but almost looked exactly like what 1987 looked, it scared her slightly. That's when something more like someone walks through her.

This girl was the same height as her and had the same hazelnut hair as the boy and women she'd been looking at. The girl ran down the stairs and to the pair.

"Took you long enough Miri." The boy jokes, rolling his eyes. The women laughs and the girl chuckles. The women looks over to the girl and lightly straightens her dress.
"Your 16, not 8, I would've thought you could at least straighten and brush your hair." The women smiles a motherly smile, one that pained 1987. She laughs and styles the girls hair slightly. The girl giggles and turns around.
"Thanks mom! See ya later Percy!" She yells going off to have some fun at the party.
"Stay safe Miriam!"

1987's eyes widened, that girl, Miriam, she looked exactly like her and sounded like her. "Miri-" before she could continue, someone yelled out to her.

"Soldier 1987! What are you doing?" The voice yells. 1987 straightened and looked over at the voice.

"Nothing..thought I saw something..just a rat.."  she replies and continues on as the whole scene disappeared, as if only she could see it. She walked away, the thing she saw plaguing her mind.
