Hello people's, Sarah-chan here, aka WiteIris. Welcome to my first Escaflowne fic. I promise I'll try to do a good job, but no guarentees, ne?? This fic's about my beloved Dilly-sama ::shrieks and ducks a fireball aimed at her head:: OK! Dilandau-Sama! Sheesh, Touch-E!
It doesen't really have anything to do with the actual Escaflowne plotline, and somethings I might have messed up to go along with the story. I can't remember what exactly...maybe the part about my Slayer Cuties NOT being dead... two warnings: This story contains spolier for people who haven't seen all of escaflowne and a DDA or "Disturbing Dilly Alert". We all know he's insane, I just emphasize on it a bit, better then OOCness ne?? Well I hope you guys enjoy and please review!!
Disclaimer: Folken, Dilandau and the Dragonslayers do not belong to me no matter how much I wish I could keep them locked up the little hamster cage on my desk. Serryn and Aria are MINE as well as most of the other characters in this story so please ask permision if you'd like to borrow them, although I don't think anyone out there is interested...
White Heat
Prologue
"Satan, you know where I lie
Gently I go into that good night
All our lives get complicated
Search for pleasures overrated
Never armed our souls
What the future would hold
When we were innocent" ~Fuel
A loud explosion sounded somewhere in the darkness. A girl gasped, sitting up in her bed. 'Their attacking again,' she though almost instantly. She got up from her bed and headed to the balcony on the other side of the large bedroom. She opened the doors and rushed to the railing, peering out into the night in the direction of the explosion. Another one sounded and the girl covered her ears watching a cloud of burning gas rise outside the northern walls of the city. 'Fools, 'she thought. They would never breech the walls.
The door to the girl's bedroom swung open suddenly. "Serryn! Their coming!" a younger girl cried running across the room and out onto the balcony, wrapping her arms around the older girl hiding her face.
Serryn smiled, hoisting her six-year-old sister into her arms. "It's all right Aria. They can't get in. Remember what mother said?"
The younger girl sniffled but nodded, clutching her sister closer as more explosions reached their ears. "Who are they Onii-chan?"
Serryn turned back towards the sound of the attack. "The Zaibach Empire," she replied.

"DAMN IT!!!!!!" Why won't it FALL!?!?" Dilandau Albatou screamed firing another barrage of flames and crimaclaws at the city walls.
A blue guymelef landed next to his red one also firing its crimaclaws. "There seems to be some kind of barrier around the entire city Sir!" Dilandau heard Migel's voice say.
Chesta's joined in as well. "We can't break down the walls, and the 'melefs flight mode gives out when we try to fly over it!"
The slayers observations just caused the silver haired general's anger to increase ten fold.
"COWARDS!" he screamed at the army assembling on the other side of the walls. They wouldn't even fight him. They just stood behind the safety of their precious city wall....watching.
How he longed to destroy that wall. To incinerate the fools and their entire city. To burn every building to the ground. They had been trying for weeks to breech the walls of the city of Conilia, but to no avail.
"Dilandau, " He heard Folken's voice speak to him over the intercom, "fall back and return to the Vione, there's nothing more you can do. We'll have to find another method of invading the city."
Dilandau cursed again, he hated to admit to it, but the Stratagos was right.
"Pull back! "he ordered to his Dragonslayers, bringing his own Alseides into flight mode.
As he flew up into the night sky, his garnet eyes traveled back to the dark city falling away from him. "Soon," he whispered, a sinister smile twisting across his mouth, "Soon I'll find my way and destroy you all!!" His whisper turned into a cackle that echoed across the night sky.
