I don't own Legend Of Dragoon.
Mislead
Chapter One:
Dart was overwelmed with the information. Shana was put in Hellena? Why? What could those people want with that innocent girl? He kept on thinking over and over again. The thoughts didn't stop him. Dart didn't even get to check to see if everyone was alright; just moved faster to get out of Seles and bring Shana back as fast as he could.
Barely looking to see where he was going Dart scrambled through the forest he had to, had to rescue Shana...
... Even if it was the last thing Dart did...
...Meanwhile
"Wonderful." Doel stated as he looked over a young brunette girl.
The man in the hood informed him, "I told your commander that the girl would be put in Hellena so he would purposely hand over the little trouble maker into a situation where he would never come out..."
"You sent him into Hellena... Delivering him as a prisoner." The dark emperor shifted through the mysterious mans words.
"Exactly."
Doel turned to the girl, "What is your name?"
The girl shook of fear. Squeezing her eyes shut she squeaked out, "Sh- Sh- Shana."
"Remember," The man in the hood stated, "Do not touch her. Keep her locked up- confined. The world's future rests on her."
"As you wish."
Dart watched as the gatekeeper searched the merchants cargo. He did a lousy job at it and when the soldier was going back to his post the blue eyed man took the chance to jump inside the cart.
The cart started moving and Dart discreetly cheered. I' m in!
When the cart stopped Dart quickly got out and gazed around. The place wasn't too pretty, but then again it was a prison... Not a palace...
The cart was blocking the way in, so he decided to try and sneak past the merchant.
As Dart was nearing the merchant turned to him and panicked, "Who, who are you?"
The blonde felt his heart beat fasten as he felt a pang of fear. The merchant ran to the nearest guard he could find and brought him back to where Dart was frozen.
The guard stopped and raised his weapon to him.
"Intruder!"
Dart raised his weapon in turn as the guard came toward him. They fought for a couple of minutes. Dart used a double slash to bring the guard down. Yes!
The merchant was still panicking. He started to beg for his life, but the red armored hero quickly stopped him.
"I'm not going to kill you. I'm looking for someone."
The merchant told Dart he would be quiet and went about his work. Dart moved along as well, in a desperate way to find Shana.
Dart was caught a couple of times, but he searched through basically all of the first floor of the prison. All he found was an interesting leather jacket that looked like it would be perfect for Shana.
Shana.
Dart looked at the elevator thing. It was dangerous enough for him, but he had to continue his search.
Entering another door after he exited the elevator Dart heard some people talking.
Straining to listen without being caught, the blonde walked as quietly as he could towards the group. Two knights of Basil were standing with two Hellena guards. The knights' hands were bound with rope.
"If you want to kill me, kill me now!" The talkative knight of Basil stated.
"I won't let him!" Announced a voice out of nowhere. A Hellena guard came flying in the room. Dead.
The knight of Basil cheered, "Sir Lavitz!"
Dart watched them argue until the two Basil knights tried to run and were killed by another knight. Dart's grip tightened on his sword. The green and silver clad man started to fight the guards alone. Dart decided to burst out and help him.
Slashing at one of the knights the red armored hero watched as the green clad man took out another one that was coming at the mans own back. The man then preceded to lock his spear with Dart's sword.
"Who are you?"
Dart felt panick lift him again, "I am Dart! I am not your enemy!"
The man backed off and introduced himself, "I am Lavitz Slambert, the First knight of the Kingdom of Basil!"
More guards came and the introduction was cut short. Both men decided to fight this battle together unconsciously.
Finishing them off quickly, before the guards could call for more enemies, Dart and Lavitz turned to each other again.
After the long haired blond told the knight his story of coming to Hellena. Lavitz contemplated on Dart being an idiot. He shook it off as he thought of the people he cared about enough to enter this place willingly. Lavitz was in awe of Dart's bravery.
"I' m going to come with you." The knight informed him.
Dart turned back to the man, "Don't you have to go back to Basil as soon as possible?"
"This girl you're looking for is important to you, isn't she?"
Lavitz could see the self- blame written all over his new companions face.
"It's my fault."
"It's not that easy going through Hellena alone." They silently agreed.
Lavitz went on talking, "I can break out of here with you! Of course with the girl..." He added in an after thought.
Dart nodded, then turned to ask, "How can you trust me? We just met."
"You' re impressive. I trust you to guard my back. That's the way I' ve always thought."
With that the two men began to search the horrid prison together. They had no luck however and soon found themselves on the top floor of the prison.
"It's locked!" Dart exclaimed as he jingled the door. It was another cell-like tower.
"Maybe if we looked around more we could find the key." said Lavitz.
They ran over the bridge to the building on the other side. Finding tons of guards inside Dart and Lavitz moved around silently. Obviously not wanting to get caught.
"This room has many guards." Lavitz stated as Dart nodded. The long haired blonde spotted something shiny out of the corner of his eye and moved to pick it up. It was a key.
Dart excitedly told his companion, "Maybe this is the key to Shana's cell!"
"We'll take it with us over to that tower to try it."
They made a quick exit easily since all the guards were too distracted talking to each other than paying attention to their duties.
Sprinting back to the tower Dart tried the key.
"It worked!"
"Come on!" Lavitz urged him, "Let's hurry up and try to find her!"
The two men began searching the tower. Dart was dissapointed to find Shana wasn't there.
"What do we do now?" The red armored hero asked himself.
"We leave," Lavitz answered, "We' ll go to Basil."
Left with little choice but to agree both men set for exiting the building and riding the elevator down to the waiting head warden, Fruegel.
With Shana...
The brunette had a little room which consisted of a bed, a chair, and a small table on which she was supposed to eat her meals.
Shana had little to do, but wait. She knew exactly who she was waiting for as well.
Dart.
The silent prayers didn't seem to be enough, so instead she said her wishes out loud.
"Dart," Shana sobbed, "Dart, hurry and rescue me! Please hurry!"
Curling up into the fetal position on her bed, Shana cried herself to sleep.
Dart... Come for me...
Stumbling down the steps Dart nearly knocked over the merchant from earlier.
"Ahh!" The merchant yelped in surprise, but stopped himself, "It's you! The whole place is in a uproar!"
"Sorry about that!" The long haired blonde appologized.
"It's alright." The merchant looked around, "Need something?"
Dart shook his head 'no' and soon Lavitz and him were on their way running down the stairs.
"I saw a horse stall over this way!"
Lavitz nodded at Dart's words. They turned to the place where the red armored one pointed. A big man was standing in their way.
"Fruegel." The short haired blonde gritted out hatefully. The two men stopped running and prepared to meet the enemy head on.
"So, you are the red armored one..." Fruegel laughed amusingly.
"Then what?" Dart answered stupidly. Too ready for a fight.
"One answer," Fruegel's voice boomed with his ego, "You and the Basil knight are feed for my pet!"
Lavitz was standing equally with Dart, "He's the head warden! His name is Fruegel. He's bad. Even the people of his own country are scared of him..."
The red armored hero screamed at Fruegel, "Where's Shana?"
The head warden laughed.
"So you' re the one that caused trouble for the commander, eh? Your little girlfriend was taken straight to Emperor Doel himself after we were informed that you had taken out a few of my guards. You came here for no reason."
"Damn it." Dart cursed to himself. His anger getting the best of him, "You're the one that attacked Seles!"
"No. I just gave the order to."
"Why was Shana taken away?"
Fruegel shrugged Dart's questions off, "I don't know. But it was an interesting order, so I added one of my own."
The man laughed again and the long haired blond could no longer take it.
"Unforgivable!"
Fruegel swung his weapon and the fight began...
The head warden was cut down quick by both men and was unable to do nothing but yell for the guards. Two horses were carefully taken in haste as Dart and Lavitz made their final escape.
Riding side-by-side the two blondes rode off.
"Woooo whoooo!" Lavitz called happily. Finally being free of the place.
"Bring them back here! I'llkill you if you don't!" Fruegel ordered.
The guards ran off to where Fruegel pointed. Afraid of the head wardens wrath.
