The Unknown Dragon Slayer
Allot of people think that the story of Escaflowne is fake. Just something that was made for entertainment. But that's where people are wrong. It did happen, all of it. The only problem is that when the writers of Escaflowne made the show, they changed some things. Like, for instance, Van and his sword fighting, they got it all wrong. They took away most of his talent. When Van fought Allen, the fight lasted for more then a half hour. Not 20 seconds. And the length of Allens hair, it went to his shoulders, not his butt. So, how do I know all this? Well, because I was there.
The legend that has been lost in the scriptures of Giea, told the story of a 14 year old girl named Tora. Like Hitomi, she was a friend of Vans' only, She didn't stay that way. So then what happened? Read my story to find out. Oh, and one more thing. Something you have to know about Dilandau-sama, He's really not that mean. Yes, he does hit his Dragon Slayers but only if he thinks they deserve it. When Gatti came in to read the P.S. part of the message, Dilandau-sama didn't hit him. He just said "Dismissed" and had Gatti leave. They really changed allot of things. But, anyway. Here's my story. And I tell how it was.
I Was in the middle of my physics class, one of my favorite subjects. When I suddenly remembered something. I don't actually know if it was my memory or someone else's. But, I was at a track meet, from somewhere. I'm not sure. But I know it was track. A gun Fired, and 5 people set of in a run. The hundred meter dash, I realized. And, I saw... me. At four years of age. I was cheering for someone. And I remembered, my 17 year old brother, Joe. That's who I was cheering for. Then suddenly it was night, and I was alone. It was night, and the stars were shining brightly. Then, a flash of light brighter then the stars, came down. And a man, about my brothers age with blue spicky hair, and a very long sword, with Armor came down. His feet landed softly, and his eyes opened, looking at me. Well, the 4 year old me. The out of no where, a dragon! Looking me strait in the eyes. And I couldn't move. Suddenly, a scream! Was it me? No, it was the man with blue hair! I looked and saw him gripping his arm. Or, where his arm should be. I looked back at the dragon, and saw him swallow something, his arm? I wondered. The older me walked over to him, and when I tried to help him up, my hands passed right through him. I looked at a dog tag he had on his neck. Folkin Final of Finallia, so that's his name. And that was it.
I looked up again and saw the eyes of all my friends looking concerned, and my other classmates with curiosity in theirs.
"Huh? What happened?" I asked is somewhat bewilderment.
"You fainted, do you want to go to the nurse?" Asked Mr. Lyon.
"No, that's all right," I said, standing up. "Woah, head rush," I said. And I landed with a thud again.
Once again, I was out of the class room. At the same track for the runners. What's going on?! I asked. This was the second 'flash' I'd had in less then 30 minutes. But something was different about this one. It was already night, and a only 3 people where there. Someone standing by a grouping of spotlights, waving to a girl with light brown hair, to her ears. And another person, a young man, about 16 or 17, holding something in his hand.
"GO!" He yelled, and the one with short hair set off into a run, a sprint actually. I was standing on the track, and the girl ran right through me. Suddenly another flash of light came down from the stars. Another boy, again about 16, landed with another long sword, and armor. She ran into him, and then, another flash of light. And a dragon again. What's his name? I wondered. But, some how I knew it was Van, just like I knew the girls name was Hitomi. It didn't make sense. Obviously I was skipping some things, not getting all the facts, because once again it skipped forward. And Van was holding something in his hand. Sort of like a pink stone only it was too much like a circle. It was glowing, then Hitomi and Van were wrapped in a light, much like the one that brought Van down. Van and Folkin.
I woke in the nurses office. 'What the heck?' I wondered. What's going on?
"She's in there," I could here the nurse saying. My brother Joe came in. He smiled, and asked if I was ready to go. I nodded and we walked out to his car. He had my back pack, and thew it into the back seat.
"Nurse called and said you fainted twice in a row," He said, turning on the car.
"Yea, I guess," I said, still wondering what in the world was going on. And what's the deal with both of those flashes? I still didn't know what that's supposed to mean. We pulled into the drive way, and Joe told me to get out. He had to go back to his job.
"Mom said your supposed to rest today, so take care," He said, and I closed the door. As soon as he drove away, I started to punch in the code to open the garage, and then, another flash of light. And I was taken to a world no one from earth knew about. Giea.
* * *
I woke up looking into the night sky, well, some of the sky. Most of my view was taken up by a large planet that looked allot like the pictures satelites had taken of the earth. Then I relized that it was the earth! What the!? I could breath, and I was definatly alive, but it was all wrong. I should have sufficated by now. Something was totally wrong. I remeberd how Van and Hitomi were raped in the same white light I had, I wonderd if they had been sent here too. It was all too weird. It didn't make any sence.
I got up, to look around. My brother always said it was a good thing to ases the situation. I looked around, and started walking what I guessed was north. I didn't walk too far when I felt a thunck on the back of my head.
"Van! you knocked out a girl!" I could hear someone saying. 'Knocked out?' I thought. 'Not likly, it takes more then that to get this girl out,' I though. Butstill, I played dead, and when someone leand over me, I moved faster then a jack rabbit. SMACK! I knocked 'em on the nose with the palm of my hand.
"Oh! Shit!" I could hear a male yell. I flipped up, knocked the sword from his hand and caught it, ready for action. Now you're probably wondering how I knew how to fight, correct? I took defence lessons, and Joe taught me some things he lerned from his classes.
"Hey!" The girl yelled. I recognized her from the track meet. Hitomi. I looked to the guy and relized was Van. Although he really didn't look like the guy who killed a dragon, when he had a bloody nose. I didn't put the sword down, instead just relaxed a litttle. I wasn't so up tight.
"Just put the sword down, we're not going to hurt you," Hitomi said.
"I know," I said.
"Then why are you still so tense?" Van asked wipping blood from his nose.
"Because... I know there's someone else here," I said. And I did. I couldn't see them, but I knew they were there. Some how I could sence them. I flung around, and saw a man with sholder length hair.
"Allen," Van said. I had my sword ready, and when I swung around I berly missed him. Okay, here's the thing. I had taken defence lessons, yea, but sword lessons? No, not me. "Easy," Van said. "Can I have my sword back?" He asked. I turned around and tossed it to him. I lookedback at Allen, and then Van.
"You know him?" I said, tilting my head tward Allen.
"Yea, he's helped us out."
"Sorry," I said. "It's just, I never been here before, and just cause I see some other people I'm gonna let my gard down," I said.
"Good idea, but were not gonna hurt you," Allen said. I got the impression this Allen guy, wasn't the pretty boy that he looked like. My eyes fell on the hilt of his sword, and I could tell he was a night. The way he dressed and the way he wasn't at all alarmed when I almost struck him.
"I know," I said. He seemed a little unexpecting that comment.
"Got a tough girl here Van," Allen said.
"I knowticed," Van said. This whole time, Hitomi had stayed quiet.
"You talk?" I asked her.
"When I feel it nessisary at a time like this, yes," She said.
"You think that was nessisary then?" I asked. She just glared, and I could tell we wern't going to be very good friends.
"Do you even know how to use a sword?" Allen asked.
"Just from what I've see from the movies," I said.
"Movies?" Hitomi asked. "You're from earth?"
"Got that right," I said.
"You're form would suggest otherwize,"Allen said.
"Does that mean it was good or bad?" I asked.
"Good, I could teach you, if you wanted."
"That'd be good," I said. "I get the impression that this a place where swords are neaded."
"How did you come to that conclusion?" Allen asked.
"That fact that you and Van over there both have swords," I said, jerking my thumb twards Van. Allen nodded.
"We have to go discuss battle plans on Zibach," Allen said.
"Zibach?" I asked. It sounded fermilor. I Didn't know how.
"Yes, we have to get back at them for what they did to Finallia," Van said. I didn't bother asking. I could tell it was something bad. 'Fanallia?' I asked myself. That's what was on Folkins dog tag. Did he live there too? I wonderd.
We walked to a place where there were alot of othere people, well, just guys acctually. So Hitomi and I were the only girls that were there. It was I'll admit kinda scary. No Offence to Allen or anything, but his men were scary. But Gadis was kind and didn't look at us the same why the others did.
Just like Allen said, he started training me with a sword. He ran me through some drills, explaind why some moves were better then others in whatever situation. as soon as we got throught the first few lessons, Ziboch attacked. Allen handed my a real sword and told me to hand onto it. I put it onto my belt and set off after him.
I saw him getting into his guymelef and setting out. He didn't even relize I was there. I ran out, and saw the place being set to flame. 'Could this be what happend to Finallia?' I asked myself. I swong around and my sword clashed with someone dressed in black and blue lether. Mostly black, but in some spots, like on the sholder pads, there was blue lining. He had a mushroom cut, and blond hair. And really beautifle blue eyes.
He attacked, I blocked. He smiled knowing at least he wasn'tgoing to take out a defencless girl. This time I attacked, and cut the lether on the side of his uniform. That made him smile more. He made a move that was easy to block, and I relized he ment for me to do so. He spun me around and grabbed my jet black hair. Pulling hard, he made me bend my spine to let up a little on my hair. I grit my teeth to stop myself from screaming. He placed his sword on my neck and gave a smirk. But he over looked something. The way he had grabbed my sword placedit right in front of his chest. I smiled a devilish grinn.
"You fool, you over looked something. Let me go or I'll kill you," I said. I supposed he relized his mistake, because I saw his eyes widen and he loosend his grip on my hair. Tossing me down so my hand landed in hot coals. "Shit!" I yelled pulling it out. But in a second, I was once again ready to fight him.
"You idot," He said, " You really think you can stand against Ziboch?" He asked.
"I'll stand as long as my legs hold out," I said.
"And once you get too weak?" He asked.
"I'm not going to." He smiled at my reply. I saw him glance behind me. Something I learned,when they do that, it usually means that someone's going to attack you from behind. I swong around, and stopped an attck that would have taken the top of my head off.
"For god's sake Chesta, Gatti, can't you take down one little girl?" I herd a voice say. The second one Charged, and I blocked. I landed a blow on his hand, making it bleed and have him drop his sword, I kicked it, and I herdit clang against something metle. I couldn't worry about what it had hit, I had to spin around, duck and roll. The boywith the mushroom cut would have drivven his sword right into my back. I got up, and didn't give him time to turn around, I hit him on the head with the hilt of my sword. I was turning to go when a sword blade was pressed up against my throat.
"Shoot," I said rather angrily.
"Don't move girl, or I'll pesonally slit your throat," They said. I could feel there lips moving by my ear. I didn't know who was behind me. But I could tell who ever it was it was the same person who hadaskedit the two solders could take down one 'little girl'. I looked at the sleeve of the uniform. Where there had been blue on the other uniforms was now red. eather this guy was someone higher in command,or lower, but from the way he talked to the others and how strong he was, my guess was that he was higher.
"No, I thought you were going to get one of your solders to do the dirty work for you," I said through gritted teeth. He chuckled.
"This one has an attitude, I like that," He said. "Be a good girl and give me your sword."
"I'd rather not," I said.
"You don't have too much of a choise." I sighed and gave him my sword. How imbirasing. This was just unbelievable. I had fought 2 guys at the same time, and now I was being takin down by one alone. There was just one word for him. Jerk. I could hear him moving, and I could feel him shifting his position. I felt a thwack and I was down and out.
* * *
I woke up in a cell of some kind. It wasn't like a dongone or anything. just a cell. I looked out the bars and I could see other cells like mine, some had people in them, and some didn't. I looked behind me, I had that feeling there was someone there. I saw a boy,about 15, one year older then me, that was dressed in red and black leather.
"You must be the one who knocked me out," I said to him. He chuckled.
"Your a quick one," He said with a smile. Not one of the nice smiles, more like... He was giving me creaded. I looked at the other man standing next to him. he had blue spick hair, and a sorcers cloak on. I gasped. He looked just like the man from 10 years ago that I saw fight the dragon! 'Folkin' His name rang in my mind. Is that possoble? I didn't know.
"What do you want?" I asked. "Cut to the chase."
"You're friends with Van Final, correct?" Asked Folkin. I didn't say anything, just gave a slight nod. How else was I supposed to respond? I didn't hate the guy, But I didn't know him too well eather. "Then do you know there plan?" He asked.
"Like I'd tell you," I said. I guess you could say I was out spoken. I stated my oppinon more then allot of the kids at my school had. I was harder to make friends with then most people were. I guess that was because if I didn't like something you said or did I let you know. He smiled a half smile. "Dilandau," He said. And the man dressed in red and black walked up to me, pulled me up by my hair, and forced me up against the wall.
"Tell me," He said.
"You need a breath mint," I responded. Like I was going to give in just because some cute guy shoved me up against the wall. Get real. I can be very stubborn. He pulled out a dagger and held it against my neck.
"Tell me," He said again.
"I think I have some tic taks in my bag if you want some." I said. He threw me to the ground and tossed the knife to Folkin. He shoved my down and held me there with his knees. So if you can picture that, then you know he also had to be sitting on me.
"Get off you pervert!" I yelled.
"Not untill you tell us his plan," was his reponse.
"I can't tell you if I can't breath," I said.
"If you can't breath then how can you talk now?" He asked.
"Just get off!" I said.
"Tell us," He said again. One thing I love about the classes I took, was that you had to be very flexibal. They always forced you to strech before practice. My leg swong up and nocked Dilandau in the back of the head. With him stunned for a bit, I was able to roll him off me. I jumped up and I was ready for a fight. He tryed to trip me by swinging his leg under mine, but I jumped out of the way. He stood up and pulled out his sword.
"See now you just aint playin fair," I said.
"I don't play," He said.
"Maybe you should, perhaps then you wouldn't be so serious."
"Maybe I like the way I am," he said, and charged. I jumped out of the way of him, and right in the way of Folkin.
"Oh shoot, bad move Tora," I said to myself. He extended an arm, the one that wasn't supposed to be there, and I saw it was metle. I moved out of the way, only to be caught by Dilandau, and have him pull my arms back so they were behind me. Folkin moved in and placed his metle hand on the back on my neck. I felt something go in, and I felt all my muscles relax and I could hear Dilandau say, "Sweat Deams." As I fell backward into his arms. He placed me down, and I could hear Folkin saying, "She's going to be hard to make talk."

"She's in there," I could here the nurse saying. My brother Joe came in. He smiled, and asked if I was ready to go. I nodded and we walked out to his car. He had my back pack, and thew it into the back seat.

"For god's sake Chesta, Gatti, can't you take down one little girl?" I herd a voice say. The second one Charged, and I blocked. I landed a blow on his hand, making it bleed and have him drop his sword, I kicked it, and I herdit clang against something metle.

"You don't have too much of a choise." I sighed and gave him my sword. How imbirasing. This was just unbelievable. I had fought 2 guys at the same time, and now I was being takin down by one alone. There was just one word for him. Jerk. I could hear him moving, and I could feel him shifting his position. I felt a thwack and I was down and out.

I woke up in a cell of some kind. It wasn't like a dongone or anything. just a cell. I looked out the bars and I could see other cells like mine, some had people in them, and some didn't. I looked behind me, I had that feeling there was someone there. I saw a boy,about 15, one year older then me, that was dressed in red and black leather.
"You must be the one who knocked me out," I said to him. He chuckled.
"Your a quick one," He said with a smile. Not one of the nice smiles, more like... He was giving me creaded. I looked at the other man standing next to him. he had blue spick hair, and a sorcers cloak on. I gasped. He looked just like the man from 10 years ago that I saw fight the dragon! 'Folkin' His name rang in my mind. Is that possoble? I didn't know.
"What do you want?" I asked. "Cut to the chase."
"You're friends with Van Final, correct?" Asked Folkin. I didn't say anything, just gave a slight nod. How else was I supposed to respond? I didn't hate the guy, But I didn't know him too well eather. "Then do you know there plan?" He asked.
"Like I'd tell you," I said. I guess you could say I was out spoken. I stated my oppinon more then allot of the kids at my school had. I was harder to make friends with then most people were. I guess that was because if I didn't like something you said or did I let you know. He smiled a half smile. "Dilandau," He said. And the man dressed in red and black walked up to me, pulled me up by my hair, and forced me up against the wall.
"Tell me," He said.
"You need a breath mint," I responded. Like I was going to give in just because some cute guy shoved me up against the wall. Get real. I can be very stubborn. He pulled out a dagger and held it against my neck.
"Tell me," He said again.
"I think I have some tic taks in my bag if you want some." I said. He threw me to the ground and tossed the knife to Folkin. He shoved my down and held me there with his knees. So if you can picture that, then you know he also had to be sitting on me.
"Get off you pervert!" I yelled.
"Not untill you tell us his plan," was his reponse.
"I can't tell you if I can't breath," I said.
"If you can't breath then how can you talk now?" He asked.
"Just get off!" I said.
"Tell us," He said again. One thing I love about the classes I took, was that you had to be very flexibal. They always forced you to strech before practice. My leg swong up and nocked Dilandau in the back of the head. With him stunned for a bit, I was able to roll him off me. I jumped up and I was ready for a fight. He tryed to trip me by swinging his leg under mine, but I jumped out of the way. He stood up and pulled out his sword.
"See now you just aint playin fair," I said.
"I don't play," He said.
"Maybe you should, perhaps then you wouldn't be so serious."
"Maybe I like the way I am," he said, and charged. I jumped out of the way of him, and right in the way of Folkin.
"Oh shoot, bad move Tora," I said to myself. He extended an arm, the one that wasn't supposed to be there, and I saw it was metle. I moved out of the way, only to be caught by Dilandau, and have him pull my arms back so they were behind me. Folkin moved in and placed his metle hand on the back on my neck. I felt something go in, and I felt all my muscles relax and I could hear Dilandau say, "Sweat Deams." As I fell backward into his arms. He placed me down, and I could hear Folkin saying, "She's going to be hard to make talk."
