Chapter One – In the Beginning
A flash of light brightened the dark, grey sky. "What was that?" asked an ash blond haired boy named Gatti.
"I have no idea," whispered Dalet, shaking his shoulder-length brown hair like a wet dog. The door opened to reveal Folken, a man rarely to be seen around.
"I would like to have a word with you Dilandau," he said in a deep, rich voice. With a grunt and a shake of his silver head, he dismissed all of the other Dragonslayers.
"What do you want Strategos?" asked Dilandau with his usual sneer.
"I want you to go investigate that flash of light. If there happens to be someone or something there, bring it back unharmed. Do you understand?"
"Yes sir," replied Dilandau with the usual sarcasm. He just didn't like to be told what to do.

I opened my eyes and took an account of my surroundings. I was in the middle of a lush forest. I looked at my reflection in a nearby pond; I still looked the same, I still had the same clothes on, and even had my prized sword with me. "Where am I?" I thought out loud. I then looked up to see two moons in the sky, one greatly resembling the Earth. My mouth dropped open in shock. It was impossible! The only reason could be because I was transported to another dimension, another planet. But that was beyond logic! How could this be true? Was I in a dream? I pinched myself, but I couldn't wake up? Of course idiot. How can you wake up if you are already awake? Suddenly, I felt a presence closeby. I gripped the hilt of my sword and stood ready to attack. How could I have guessed some one would sneak up behind me when I was surrounded by a forest? The next thing I knew, a blade was pressed into my neck. ************************************************************************
I had never expected to see a girl here, let alone one with a sword. She stood still, her ebony hair being blown by the light breeze. She was almost too perfect, innocently harmonious with nature. However, a duty was a duty and I rushed her from behind. We stood there for a moment, and I liked the feel of her pressed against my body. But time had to move one, as did I.
"You're coming with me girl." Saying this I reached for her wrist, but she dodged out of my grasp.
"Who are you and where am I?" she demanded. "Why? Don't you know where you are?" "If I knew, would I be asking you?" Now she was starting to annoy me, she definitely wasn't like girls from around here. She looked menacing, "Tell me or else..." "Or else what? You obviously don't know anything. You're as lost as one can be. You are not properly dressed and look worse than one of those whores at the nearby tavern. To top it off, you are wearing a sword. So..." I saw her resolve weakening a fraction, and I gave her that, she knew she had to take a little humility, being new and all that. "Follow me," I ordered. And she did. *****************************************************************
Even though my pride was at stake, I followed him. This...this complete stranger with silver hair and red eyes on a planet that was definitely not Earth and...and what? What was I supposed to do? Just because I had an ego problem right about now did NOT make it any better for me not to follow him. And of all the nerve-
"What is that...that monster?" I yelled. It was a huge robotic machine, red as blood.
"That is a guymelef," he answered, smirking at my lack of knowledge, "my guymelef, Alseides." He then jumped into this cockpit I should say and motioned for me to come in. I noticed that it was cramped, very cramp. So naturally thinking that this was a big machine, it had a room for me somewhere else. So I asked, "Where do I sit?" and he looked at me like I was a being with two heads and an extra-large zit on my nose.
"In case you haven't noticed, you sit right here," motioning the place beside him. It was horrible, I was practically sitting on that guy's lap, a stranger. 'Just perfect,' I thought. When he started it, however, I let out a whoop. It was more exciting than any rollercoaster ride I've been on. We landed in about a few minutes, in some sort of a futuristic city. Everywhere I looked, there were so many contraptions and machines that even I, the queen of controlling myself, gaped around like a nerd in amazement. I guess I was pretty obvious because he smirked and said, "Welcome to Zaibach."
