Druid Diana of the Plains (#2577)

The Lore of Druid Diana of the Plains

The road to hell is paved with good intentions – Author – many.

Druid Diana wanted revenge. She wanted people to pay for what they had done to her family. She saw what the death of her mother had done to Ursula and she wanted no family to be broken up in the way hers was ever again. In a desire to avenge those that wronged her during the witch trials, she drove herself mad. She was willing to sacrifice almost anything to end the nightmares.

(This is the second part of the story of Hedge Wizard Ursula of the Steppe #4564)

Meet Druid Diana– the sharper, bolder, younger sister of Hedge Wizard Ursula. Both escaped the wrath of the witch hunters and Ursula did her best to look after Diana who was skilled in many ways Ursula was not. She soon surpassed her teacher in magic, hunting, and internal wisdom. Like Ursula, she was not accepting of the status quo. While she too fought to change the Metaverse and tackle societal problems, there was unfinished business that kept her awake at night and it was time for her to settle the score.

The Rune of Neptune yields an unruly power over her. Change is in her blood. She had seen the flame in her nightmares before, so when it appeared at her doorstep on a Saturday afternoon, she knew this was her calling. This was a catalyst to open the Portal of the Quantum Shadow. This was an opportunity for her to change history and rewrite the future. To be a mediator between humans and the gods. Of course this could also be the end of her. An undesirable outcome for some, but a message to her from the Gods that her soul had achieved enlightenment, and that there were no more lessons to be learned. Death, after all, was the only certainty, and she had no fear in looking it in the eye.

She intends to take nothing with her however her partner the Sun cat refuses to leave her side. To all observers, it is clear that the cat is a living reincarnation of her. The cat portrays the good and the bad, the jealousy and the anger, and the power & strength that emanates from within Diana. She swings by the Steppe to pay one last visit to Ursula, who insists Diana take snacks in her hip pack for the journey through the flame. “You may not be first in line and may get hungry in the process” nurturing motherly Ursula had said. Diana packs some marshmallows & graham crackers. Who doesn’t love a SMORE, it may be her last meal after all!

As she walks towards the shadows the scenarios play through her head once again. The Phoenix feather which long protected both sisters had never been tested against Black Magic. Diana, divine, wise, protected – but was that enough?
