Anyhow it you feel uncomfy reading about them then DON'T read this please. Never read something you know you won't like. But also keep an opened mind because maybe you DO like them and you just don't know it yet
Dilandou lay in his room. Or rather thier room. He was trapped in a body he couldn't control. His mind wasn't even his. All he could do was repeat the names of his dragon slayers in the back of their mind. He knew Celena better than anyone. She was so sweet so innocent. Although he would put horrible images or the wars he fought in her mind. She would even burst into fits and scream until she passed out. Dilandou would put the image of his dragon slayers in her mind and she would start screaming their names. He felt somewhat sorry for her...but he didn't even know if that was what he felt. He didn't even know if he could feel. After all he wasn't a real person. He was the result of an experiment. Does that make me a robot? He though in the back of his shared mind.
Celena felt so violated all the time. Her mind was constantly clogged with images of dying people and fire and...pain. She couldn't do anything about it. She knew from what Allan had told her that her mind had another person in it. She would often find herself thinking and having another voice think back. They had only recently realized they could speak to each other clearly in their mind.
Today was a quiet day. Nothing was going on in all of the palace of Asturia so Celena decided to go and lye under a tree.
"Are you their Celena?" said a voice in the back of her mind.
"yes." She said back to it. She talked out loud to him though. It looked quite peculiar seeing her have half a conversation with herself.
"How are you my dear?" he said seductively.
"I'm fine. Allan has left me for the day to attend a meeting with the Austrian counsel.
"Is that so?" He said back. "You must be terribly lonely without your pig-headed brother"
"Dilandou! Don't talk about him like that. He doesn't know you are still with me. He thought you where a sickness or something that would simply leave after being left alone for a while. He doesn't know you! He doesn't know your past..." she started crying and even in the back of her mind Dilandou could tell.
"He thinks I'm a disease!! He sickens me!! Why did I get stuck here?! ...Shesta... Gatty ...Miguel ...why did you all leave me alone here!?!?! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
A loud scream ripped through the air and was heard through all the fields. Celena was overtaken with horrible images of Dilandou's past. "SHESTA!!!!! AHHHHH!!! ALONE!!!!" she screamed with uncontrollable tears beating down her face. Her eyes where blank like they where empty for a minute but then was invaded by a familiar red colour.
Dilandou had become so scared that he pulled Celena into the darkness. In the process he guessed he had pulled himself out. He was free again. "Celena..." he said quietly. "Are you there?" just as he said that they where enveloped in a beam of light. It could have been spotted from hundreds of miles away. And along with the intense screams, it was. At least twenty guards surrounded the light and waited for it to disappear. After a moment it disintegrated into nothing and what were left were two forms. Two bodies a male one and a female one. Once the guards realized that the female figure was Allan shizuar's sister, they covered naked body with a coat along with the other unknown man and brought them both to the infirmary.
Dilandou woke up and looked around. Looked? Why could he see? He sat up. He could sit up! He shakily brought his hands in front of him. There they where. His hands. His eyes. He was himself again. But something felt different. He closed his eyes to scout out Celena. He couldn't find her. Dilandou panicked and started screaming her name. "CELENA!!! WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?" he didn't know why it worried him so much that she wasn't there it just disturbed him. He hadn't lived a second of life without her with him. "CELENA!!!!"
Two healers entered the room and tried to restrain him but to no avail. He ran out of the infirmary and focused his mind on finding his other half. He sensed her presence was close and kicked down the door he thought she was behind.
There she was. Dilandou looked at her; the crazy look he got sometimes was disappearing. She was lying on a bed curled in a ball shaking. Dilandou walked up to her and looked down at her form. Somehow he knew exactly what she would look like. He said her name and she turned to face him.
Her eyes went wide and her mouth hung open. She looked at Dilandou and started crying. She jumped into his arms and he pulled her against him tightly. They didn't understand why they where trying to make themselves so close. But they felt empty without the other. They felt alone without the other. "Dilandou...I was so scared. I thought you disappeared. I didn't know what to do. I missed you more than anything. I was empty."
Her words make perfect sense to Dilandou. He felt the same way. If he wasn't with her he was more scared than anything. "I'm here Celena. Don't leave me alone."
Just then the healers ran into the room and tried hard to pry the bodies apart. But they just screamed for each other and clung harder. Finally the healers decided to call Allan back from his counsel and get him to try to separate them.
An hour later Allan walked into the room and looked in sheer horror at his sister so suggestively wrapped around ...him... Allan was informed about Dilandou being there but didn't know they where...holding each other like that. "Celena!!!" Allan yelled. He ran over and tried to get them apart but couldn't. They just wouldn't let go of each other. "Celena!!! Let go of him!!" yelled Allan. "Let go of my sister you bastard....you bastard....how could you try and harm my innocent sister...YOU BASTARD!!!" Allan curled up on the floor and started shaking. He was so full of anger and fear. He didn't know what to do.
The healers found him moments later and brought him to the infirmary to be calmed, the healers where going to have one hell of a time vanquishing the fear from his body.
Dilandou and Celena where still curled up together even I the middle of the night. Many times guards would try to pull them apart but one of the healers told them to leave the two alone. They couldn't help being close when they had never been apart. The healers knew that Dilandou wouldn't do anything wrong in this state so they simply left them alone. Although they where checked on every hour.
Celena looked up at Dilandou who was rocking them back and forth. "Dilandou?" she asked in an almost whisper.
"What is it?" he answered quietly back.
"What do you think happened to my brother...? Will he be okay?"
"He'll be fine. He's like a cockroach. He'll never die..."
Celena didn't quite understand that but she guessed that it meant he would be fine. She pressed her head against his chest and thought of other things to talk about. They had after all been sitting quietly for hours. "Dilandou...did you ...know I was with you when you where young?" she asked still quietly.
"yes." He answered.
"How?"
"Because I used to see you. I saw you when they took you and I saw when Jajuka took care of you. I would often fall to the ground going insane when I saw you. I thought my mine was being haunted."
"Where you scared...?" when she asked this he started to dig his nails into her back. She let out a small cry of pain and when he felt his shirt get wet with tears he stopped.
Dilandou lifted his hand to his face and saw the blood on it. He instantly felt horrible about making her bleed over a simple question and held her tighter in his arms. "I'm sorry love. I can't help it."
She simply just kept crying. This was something Dilandou just didn't have the patience for. "Please stop crying Celena...please...I don't want to hear you cry..." Dilandou caught what he had just said. Why don't I want her to cry? She still didn't stop even after half and hour she was still crying. "What do I have to do to make you stop!!!" it was more of a demand than a question.
Celena looked up at him. His eyes where cold even with the colour red inhabiting them.
She looked at him with her big blue eyes that were tear stricken and glossy looking. She was beautiful even when she cried. Dilandou looked into them and felt something in him turn. His eyes started to fade into a calm look and he felt warm inside. How could her eyes do that? He looked away to the side and didn't look back until she nestled herself into his chest again. He didn't want to be warm inside.
Celena fell asleep in his arms with her tears dried and a light smile in her face. She made him calm. She saw it. He wasn't the evil man he made himself to be and she knew that better than anyone.
Allan woke up in the infirmary and looked around. He didn't remember why he was in there. One of the healers walked up to him and smiled saying "ah you're awake. Good."
"How long have I been in here? What happ--." In one moment it all came back to him. He tried to get up but as it turned out his legs where asleep. He had utter panic in his eyes and he tried his hardest to get up. The healer held him down and Allan screamed to be let out of there so he could find his beloved sister.
"Do not worry Sir Allan. She is perfectly fine. She has made a little progress. Her and the man...Dilandou was it? They are able to walk around now. Although they still refuse to separate. We think its best that they do when they're ready. We mustn't rush this or one of them might start to lose their sanity."
"One of them has lost their sanity!!! Get that man away from my sister!!!"
"Just lye down Sir Allan. They'll come apart soon enough and until then I will have to request that you not see them. We can't have you losing your sanity either." And with that the healer left the room and locked the door. He knew Allan wasn't going anywhere since they had put and antidote in his legs to make them temporarily paralyzed. As much respect as everyone had for him, they couldn't allow him to hurt anyone.
It had been only two days since Dilandou had been separated from Celena. And they where making fast progress. They where even walking around the courtyard. Although they where always holding hands. Nothing could be done about them touching. If they where for any reason brought apart they would both start screaming the others name.
Celena walked along side of Dilandou. They where going for a walk together and Celena was whistling to the birds. "Do you think that we're the only people in the whole world who have ever shared a body?" she asked smiling.
"probably." Dilandou was preoccupied with the thought of his dragon slayers again. Why won't they stop interrupting my thought?! His mind was full of horrid images of blood and debris. He couldn't stop it. There where his men dressed in their uniforms and suddenly they would be enveloped in flames and they would burn slowly in front of him. Dilandou's thoughts of his slayers where set aside by the feeling of arms around him. He knew Celena still could easily tell what he was thinking. She had embraced him and he held her back willingly.
"It's okay to be sad Dilandou. We all are sometimes. You can talk to me about it you know." She said with her head rested on his shoulder.
Dilandou didn't say anything he just held her. She started whistling a calming tune that threatened to sooth him to sleep. This was where he was and this was where he wanted to stay. With her always. She was the only one who could possibly understand him. Whenever she was with him, holding him he felt no need to hurt anyone. He felt his insides go warm and although he didn't want them to he never tried to stop it.
