«DIMENTIO! Get up right now! You have an appointment with Queen Jaydes in 20 minutes!»
Dimentio groaned. He turned his back to the shayde who was yelling in his ear. The shayde tried once again, but quieter:
«Dimentio,» he said, his voice soft and mesmerizing, «if you do not go to this appointment, you will stay in the underwhere forever, while your father will be ravaging all the worlds...»
This worked very well. Dimentio jumped out of his prison bed, screaming and punching the air:
«I WILL NEVER LET MY FATHER RAVAGE ALL WORLDS!»
The shayde was very surprised, and scared by Dimentio's reaction. He quickly ran out the door and locked it, before Dimentio exploded. Dimentio sighed. His father, had destroyed his entire race, and now wanted to consume all worlds, and he, Dimentio, was stuck in the underwhere, instead of his father. He slipped on his poncho/cape and looked down at it. It was worn and the bright contrasting colors had faded, because of the lack of sun, he put his shoes on right when the shayde opened the door creating a loud click sound. Dimentio looked at the shayde in surprise, the shayde, his only friend in this doomed world, the only one who trusted Dimentio, was holding a pair of cuffs in his hands.
«Ugh» I thought as I woke up, «another day in boarding school...» I shifted in my bunk bed, making a lot of noise.
«Oh won't you be quiet up there, Mimi? Some people are trying to sleep you know!» My room mate, Lesley, groaned. I glanced at the clock, it read 5:30 A.M. I groaned. Still three hours until we had the right to get out of our rooms for breakfast. I was already bored. I turned on what humans call «my iPod», put my headphones in my ears, and put on some music I liked. I stayed in bed like that for 20 minutes, until I got bored again. I jumped out of my bed, surprising Lesley who groaned again, but I didn't listen to her. I was going to break the rules, and get out of my room, into the blackness of the forest.
«Ow, me head...»
«It's OK, calm down, you are safe and you have quite a bump on your head, a couple of broken bones, and it seems you have been stabbed on some parts of the body...»
«W-where am I?»
«All I can say is: you are safe, and badly injured. Do you remember what happened to you?»
«Uh, I-I don't remember a thing!»
«It's OK, do you remember your name?»
«N-Yes! It's -it's Disterio»
«Well, Disterio, my name is Luella.»
I stepped outside my room, with a coat on and a flashlight. It was still very dark outside and the building was silent. I ran as quietly as I could through the building, until I heard some voices:
«Yeah, They say Chaos D is back!»
«Nonsense, he was sent to the underwhere a week ago, he couldn't have escaped that fast!»
«True, but have you looked at the sky? Its getting purple!»
«Really? S-so Chaos D is back?»
«Well we don't know yet... It might be his son... He is as evil as his father!»
«Ooooh, yeah!»
I gasped as I heard the name Chaos D, I knew that name, from somewhere, I just couldn't remember! I shivered, and continued my way through the school building. I ran out the front door and inhaled deeply, just the smell of fresh air was making me feel better, but all I needed was to be in my true form: a Dragon. I continued inhaling and exhaling deeply as I ran from the school grounds to the forest. I felt my true form longing for freedom, and I set it free. I started growing taller, my thin arms becoming stronger, claws grew instead of my nails, I was big, strong, I wanted to let out a big roar of triumph, as I usually did when I transform, but this time, I had to be careful not to scare the whole school. My dragon eyesight was way better than my human sight. I could see for miles now. I looked up at the sky, with my true sight, I could sometimes see the stars way bigger than humans can. I sighed, I loved the stars. Suddenly, a violent tremor shook the whole forest. I fell, squishing at least fifty trees. I took my human form again, my dress magically reappeared around me, and I ran back to school, before they would notice I was missing.
"Luella?"
"Yes, Joseph?"
"Do you know what happened to me?"
"Unfortunately, no, Joseph. I do not know..."
"Oh, Luella, when will I get my sight again?"
"Joseph, I do not know, I-I D-DO NO-OT KNOW!"
"Oh please Luella, do not cry, I know this is frustrating, but please stop!"
"Oh, Joseph, I am so sorry!"
Queen Jaydes was getting impatient when the huge double doors of the throne room opened, and Dimentio, followed by three shaydes, stepped inside. He was handcuffed and the smile on his black and white mask was no more, there was only a thin red line, marking his mouth. His eyes were a mixture of emotions: hatred, sadness, anger, and... cruelty. The Queen gasped: Dimentio looked just like his father with this look in his eyes. She looked at the shayde behind him to avoid eye contact.
"Well, jester," she started, "you very well are the son of-"
"Yes I am!" He answered, this same mad look in his eyes, "But it doesn't mean I am like my father!"
"You haven't proved yourself yet my dear. Let's already weigh your sins." Continued Queen Jaydes. She threw her arms up, mumbling spells. Dimentio's amusement showed for one second, as the line on his mask curved a little at the corners of his so called mouth.
