Shadows within Daji's heart
Stair Pris was worried about Daji's health and sanity recently. The panic event that has happened during the new year's party was the event that decided her to help not just her superior officer but her model.
Daji was pushing herself way too hard those last days, taking the Earth's safety as her prime objective, forgetting that not only Bothan could handle the things by herself, but even Freya and Aesir help the arctic vixen. And yet, Daji couldn't take benefits of those peaceful moments.
With the help of her sister Flare, Stair has elaborated an incredibly advanced AI of Daji based on every details and experiences the Pris sisters know about her through the centuries, and launched the application without warning in Daji's office. No doubt that the AI would be able to formulate the words that even her fellow comrades couldn't say.
What was her surprise when she, the blue admiral, entered the office to see Daji about to explode. What was their discussion about?
- What the hell is this shit!? barked Daji
- Face the truth, grand-admiral. Admit that for once. continued the hologram.
- How am I supposed to stay calm when a pale imitation of myself is sounding off about nothing but bullshit?!
- This is not bullshit as you said, but facts.
- Shut the fuck up!
Stair was shocked. In all those years, she never heard the grand-admiral saying that much of curse words in the same minute. Her gloves were trembling, and Daji was biting her own lips.
- The things are under control here, Daji. Why can't you simply admit that you are.... in the way? Aesir, Freya, even Arès and your sister Bothan, they handle the situation. But you can't help but to think that you are that important that you have to interferate in everything your sister do.
- I'm protecting her!
- You smother her instead. And... by the way... Do you really think that we aren't aware of your little trick, grand-admiral?
- Trick?!
- Your kiss with Arès.
- This was done for my sister, to make her focused on something else than the fireworks!
- Do you really need that lame excuse? Do you really think that you can fool me, your own replica?
- THAT IS NOT AN EXCUSE!
- It is. Truth is, you love him.
With a powerful backhand, Daji made the hologram to blur. If the AI was real, she would have had her head ripped off.
- How can the leader of the Armada be so emotionnaly disturbed by that simple fact? smirked the AI.
- How can you simply think that I would steal the beloved of my sister?! I'm not that heartless!
- You are. You always have refused to wear the crown of the empress, since that's your title. You never has wear jewels as well, not even a dress. But that day, not only did you wear your crown, but jewels and dress. As if you were the star that everyone should look at. Look at me, I'm the Empress, I rule thousands of systems, I'm the leader of the Armada, I have succeed in every domain. ... Every domain but love. And that's corrupting your heart, grand-admiral.
Her gloves hold thigh, Daji clenched her teeth, close to take the rapiers and to cut the hologram even if that was definitively useless. Stair was petrified. She knows better than everyone how powerful and dangerous can be Daji when she's pissed off, and the feline has never seen the grand-admiral in such an anger.
- You, model of everyone in the Armada, and should I even say in the universe, how can you forgot to focus yourself on your goal?
- Shut. up. barked again Daji, this time in a cold anger.
- What is your objective, dear?
- To protect the Federation! To be the sword of justice of the Armada!
- Very well, click on a destination and leave this planet. You're useless here.
- I am not.
- You're an arrogant brat, Daji. Why being so vain? You think that you're indispensable?
- None is indispensable. But my duty is to stay here.
- Because that would sign your defeat toward Bothan if you left. smirked the hologram.
- Just say another word and I'll make sure to have your guts for garters.
Stair immediately charged her shield and took cover, hooked at one emergency device. Daji doesn't threaten, she warns. And the AI was way out of line not to be punished.
- You have lost sight of your prime objective, grand-admiral. Focus yourself and be abnegated to your nation better than to be that slutty bitch of...
Daji unleashed the hell in the room. Whatever the hologram was just a projection of light, the silver vixen made sure to destroy every little bit of things in the office, including the projectors and the windows. Immediately, the debris as well as the air were drained in the vaccum. Hooked at one of her rapier sticked in the floor, Daji waited till the regeneration of the windows as well as the shields of the Judgement maintain the air again.
Slowly, sound came back in the same time as the air, propagating the alarms. In the last seconds of the alarms hawling in the office, Daji dropped her rapiers and fell on her knees.
- Daji... began Stair.
Off her guard, the grand-admiral couldn't retain her tears anymore.

Holy cow. That is one powerful story to go with this illustration.
I am seriously in awe right now. I didn't want to stop reading. By the way, do you have a story going on here? I've been browsing your gallery a lot now and I wanted to know if there was a starting point so I could understand the characters a bit better.

... Et à la fin Daji s'exclame : « Tiens, au fait, pendant ces soldes d'hiver, je suis parvenue à dénicher cette superbe paire de bottes en authentique imitation de croco du Nil... Et ça pour seulement 128 € ! Pas mal hein !? »
Ah ben oui... C'est une conversation entre bonnes femmes, aussi ! Faut que ça garde un certain cachet d'authenticité !

Truth hurts.
And things begin to click and fall into place. I'm seeing more of the intricacies of Daji than I ever expected to do. All masks, all facades shall fall away in time leaving the Grand Admiral naked to those that bravely call her a friend.
And I look forward to seeing the final fight between her and Bothan. What truths shall be brought to light? What secrets shall be laid bare?
You're work and the story with it tell of an epic life with battles within and battles without. I agree that your work should be published in book form. I would buy it without any hesitation.

So cool.. As i said on a post on some other of your pics, you can't lie to yourself, no matter how hard you try, because you will alway know the truth.
After a life of war and being tough, must be hard for her to love and accept love, because that would mean to leave yourself open and vulnerable, leave yourself in the care of another and not yourself.
Great story you have on Daji and Bothan, all the inner struggle with themselves, and the struggles with the universe. it is stuff like this that truly gives life to characters.
Keep up the good work. :)

Heh, you are welcome. I like smut as much as the guy next to me, but i do take the time to read background/stories on characters such as yours because i want to know the reason of why they do what they do (as depicted in some of your images). I am a long time fan of fantasy and sci-fi and i always enjoy a good story, happy or not.
