Diana stepped out of the camp, quietly, heading to a clump of trees where she could be hidden. She glanced backwards, to make sure no one was following her, before drawing the knife that Zane had given her...

She slit her hand open and tossed up the purple powder, before letting her blood drip onto the ashes.

The mirror sprang into existence. She simply blinked as the glimmering light appeared. At one point it would have blinded her, but now... She was getting used to it.

Diana ran a hand through her hair and watched, quietly, as the mirror searched for Levi. After a moment, it found him, and his image showed up. Oddly, however, he was in a very unfamiliar setting...

"Levi?" Diana asked, cautiously. "Where are you?"

"Elsweyr." Levi answered, after a moment of debating whether or not to tell her. "Why is that of such importance that you would call me?"

"No reason." Diana shrugged, not wanting him to catch on to her. Her eyes scanned his face, before focusing in on a small burn on his neck. Almost as if something hot had splattered on him...

Diana's breath caught in her throat.

"Are you alright, Di?" Levi asked, giving her a small smile, as if to comfort her. "You sound a bit... shaken up."

Normally that smile would've turned her into a lovestruck mess, but tonight... It seemed as if that smile held lies, danger that would eviscerate her should she ever discover it. It disgusted her... She almost... She almost...

"I... I... I'm fine..." Diana choked out, after a moment of silence. "Just needed to hear your voice. The... The Hunter attacked today... T-Tirinna died in the attack... As did... m-many, many Khajiit..."

Levi frowned, almost as if he was sad. "That's horrible, Diana. I'm sorry."

Liar. Diana thought, frowning as well. However, she felt herself being more angry than sad. "Y-yeah, I'm just going to... go sleep..." She whispered, her frown fading, to prevent him from discovering all that she knew.

"Stay safe." Levi replied, flashing her another sympathetic smile. "I love you."

Diana hastily dissolved the connection, feeling herself becoming sickened by his words. She stared at herself in horror, wondering how she didn't see that her husband was... was...

...A monster.

The Blonde Imperial leaned back against the tree and slid down, to the ground, finding tears streaming down her face...

Wa sshe a monster, as well? The Demon's wife?
