Dilandau Albatou sighed as he crunched up the letter he had read in his hand. That had been the sixth exact same letter her had received this month and it was beginning to really annoy him.

And it wasn't just the letters, oh no, it was the fact that he hadn't met who was sending them yet.

But, right now he had more important things to worry about.

Like the guard knocking on his door.

"Come in, come in, whoever you are!"

The person who entered wasn't a guard however, it was the dragonslayer Shesta.

" Lord Dilandau, the slayers that went to destroy the town from earlier are back, and they have brought a prisoner."

The albino grinned a slight bit at the mention of the word prisoner. He liked having something new to toy with.

"Very well, take me to where they are."

"Yes, sir.

With that, the blonde slayer began leading Dilandau through the halls of the Viole to the dank and somewhat dreary dungeons. Once Shesta opened the old and rusty metal door they were both greeted by Gatty and Dallet.

The two slayers gave a respectful bow to their captain before Gatty began to read out the report he had written, out loud,"Lord Dilandau, as ordered myself and Dallet attacked the town where it was suspected the Dragon was hiding. However, before we reached the city appearently the Dragon had already been informed of our arrival. How we don't know yet. When we looked inside the lodge he was supposed to be staying at, however, we happened to stumble upon one of the Dragon's aquantences. She was pretty badly injured, though we don't know why."

Dilandau wasn't very pleased that they had let Van escape, but at the same time was delighted they had found something that could lure Van to him.

" Very good. Now show me the prisoner." Dilandau ordered.

Dallet abliged his captain's order order and opened the cell he was standing beside.

When Dilandau looked within, he saw a small body lying on the ground with a head of red hair, tan fur, and black stripes.

'Oh, shit'
