Diana was conducting a hiring fair within Noctilis alongside Adalric Norman where she would meet the team of individuals whom she would be travelling with. She was overjoyed with the people who wanted to work for her one of which was a friend and fellow graduate Winston Constantine. She collected the terms and conditions and informed the team that there would be a risk of death but she would do all that she could to ensure that she would heal them. After a night of introductions and getting to know one another she awoke the following morning awaiting her new companions. Her and Adalric got into an argument in regards to her capabilities and medication supplies. She left on a bit of a sour note as they all took off to the port city.
Along the road they learned that Frecia Academy of Magic was attacked to which Edmund had talked her into continuing forward with the journey. She got to know each one of her new employees and had a bit of a heart to heart moment with Gaius when she took up the reigns.
During their travels they were placed under attack by a group of bandits. She fired a few shots but was slashed in the leg. She healed Gidget and tried to take care of the others before taking care of herself. One sole survivor was left for Gaius to interrogate. Diana continued to refuse to drink the health potion that Reno had taken out of her bag, her is where she explained that she needed to bleed in order to have an ingredient for her unique health potions. With that being said, she was left alone to take care of herself in her own way and matter. During the rest of their travels to the port city, Reno had fallen into a deep sleep and wasn't waking up. Diana was worried but claimed that must be normal for someone like him. She kept a careful watch of his vitals and made sure he was taken care of.
The group made it to Myzopodis and turned their hostage into the soldiers. Diana instructed the group to go and enjoy the town and the ship while she speaks with Heartless about their arrangement. During the discussion, Heartless had made it obvious that Diana was expected to pay nicely and she and the others were to work on the ship like any of the other crew members.
After solidifying the deal, she found the others speaking with some of The Aces aboard the Mad Hatter. She informed them of the deal and what to expect. It was revealed that Diana has a slight fear of sailing on the water. Giaus assured her that she wasn't going to be alone and she learned that Gidget had a slight fear as well. Diana explained to the group that they were going to be in good hands, but there was an incident that had occurred with the crew members. There was a risk that they would be attacked but the risk was much lower than if they were sailing on a soldier vessel. During the conversation, Ryver appeared to have been infatuated with her. he was quick to touch her all over and eventually linked his arm around hers while they were heading into town.
Everyone made their way to the The Cursed Blade where they would share drinks with a few of The Aces. Diana pulled out some documents for her to review and inquired who had experience with royal introductions. She informed the group that upon their arrival, she and Winston would need to be properly introduced to Walden Stein and the soldiers present. She did warn everyone that the site that they would witness would be hard to bare or view.
Upon returning to the ship, Diana did not sleep the night. She got up before everyone else and started her day with Heartless learning how to work the sails. As they set forth on their journey the cold weather of Divelinson was became a distant past. Whales swam along the side of the ship as pointed out by Gaius who was leaning over the edge. Ryver wanted to show off his skills and jumped into the water. However, he was soon bucked out onto the man deck along with several sirens. Diana fought off what she could with her rapier before Ryver, in his dread state, grabbed a hold of her and jumped over the edge of the ship.
The two were scooped up by a starry whale Temple. He held onto Diana close as the words "Protect" rang through her head. The monstrous looking creature that he had become appeared to be trying to protect her from the creatures above the deck. The two eventually made their way to the main deck where the fight eventually came to an end.
The problems weren't over just yet when Ryver and others had taken over the vessel they were traveling on. Diana was separated from the others and taken to the Badlands by Ryver safely in his arms.
