The Beginning Sofete Part 3
Xellos followed her in every dream. This was no different, he followed her and she laughed at him. Perhaps she wanted to mock him, of the thought he could not figure out. Her hair flowing behind her as she ran. He soon found himself smirking as he chased her. She teased him making the chase ever more enjoyable. Xellos rushed threw the forest after her and for some reason he needed to catch her. But why, to kill her? He never knew. He looked around but never found her. He heard her voice beckoning to him. He followed it to a small house and found that the door was open. He entered the house. Clear white sheets hung from the ceiling he pushed it aside and walked on. He heard her laugh again from a small room. Following her, he pushed the door open. He smiled as he saw her sitting on a bed, she held out her hand. The sun shone on her golden hair making it glitter. He walked over to her placing both hands on either side of her then leaned down and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him down on top of her.
Xellos woke with a startle, the same dream was still haunting him. That girl was always there with him. He shook his head and walked towards Zelas's throne room. He pushed open the doors and entered a black room. Quickly he bowed trying to clear his mind of the dream. But it just kept on coming back into his mind. Zelas opened her eyes and looked at Xellos.
"Xellos I'm glad you're here, were having some trouble with the dragon race. They think they can expand their territory by destroying us monsters, I want you to kill every last one of them." She told him.
Xellos just started at the floor "As you wish" he said grabbing his staff from beside him and standing up
"Xellos!" Zelas said Xellos turned to her. "Monsters don't dream," she said
Xellos said nothing, he just teleported away in confused. Zelas knew full well about the dreams he had, or visions in a monsters case.
Xellos lifted his finger swiping the air in front of his face and taking out a sky full of black and golden dragons. He looked around to see if there were any others coming but they weren't. He smiled to himself and turned. He stopped dead in his tracks as he saw a woman holding a child.
"Don't dear god please don't" she whispered to the heavens.
Xellos looked at her. She seemed to be afraid of him. He looked down at the little girl that she was clinging to tightly. He all the suddenly felt a pain in his chest. There was something about that little blond girl. Against his masters wishes he turned and walked away. It must have been pity that had stopped him from killing her, yet the feeling was extremely unknown to him.
Twelve years later after the fall of Darkstar.
Xellos looked at Zelas depressed.
"Xellos don't look at me that way," Zelas exclaimed "I think this is best for you." Xellos looked down in his hands.
"How is this best for me?" he asked examining the little monster in him arms.
"You need a break so since she looked like you I thought you could take care of her, teach her the ways." Zelas smirked.
"But." Xellos started but stopped himself there was no use arguing because he'd just be killed "As you wish." he said angrily then turned. Zelas smirked at him as he walked out stumbling slightly.
Gincowdi ran up to Xellos "She's gone" he reported. Xellos looked at him
"The third time this week. Do you know where she went Gincowdi?" he asked.
Gincowdi thought for a minute, "I don't think she's on the astral plan, I think she went to meet someone." the monster replied.
Xellos shook his head "whom?" Xellos asked.
"A human I think" Gincowdi replied. Xellos stranded not to kill him. Gincowdi looked at him nervously "If you go after her a tracking spell would work" Xellos nodded and teleported away.
Filia looked at the man before her, he had just taken out the whole sky that had once been covered in golden and black dragons. His purple hair flew in the wind wildly. He turned and looked at her and her mother grinning wickedly.
"Dear god no please!" her mother hugged her tighter and prayed to the heavens for there help. The mans eyes shot open as he watched her. Filia looked into his eyes. They seemed filled with pain and anger. She knew that he was going to attack them but what happened next she thought was not monster like. He tuned around and walked away leaving them in peace.
Filia looked high and low for Val. He had disappeared while she had gone to the store for supplies. He had been missing for hours now and there was no trace of him anywhere. Filia ran up the stairs to his bedroom. He wasn't there. She slumped down on his bed about ready to cry but when her hand hit the bed she felt a small piece of paper. She looked down and saw it was a note.
"Mommy I'm running away don't come after me, I'll be fine. I'll have Cona with me'
Filia dropped the note "CONA!" she exclaimed running down the stairs and out of the house. She searched everywhere for him. But Val was nowhere to be found. Finally she gave up and fell to the ground of the forest exhausted. Where were they? Was a question she desperately needed answered. Suddenly she heard a bush beside her rustle. She jumped up and prepared to attack who or what was coming. She waited until suddenly the bush stopped.
"Maybe it was just the wind." she thought out loud. She was about to do something else when a hand covered her mouth.
"Be quiet." it said.
Filia obeyed has not to upset her captor. He dragged her away from the area and hid behind a rock. She watched from behind a rock, a monster had clawed its way to the ground where she had been. It sniffed the air then disappeared. They waited a few more minutes before Filia's captor removed his hand from her mouth.
Filia turned "What's the big idea!" she cried.
"You were about to be killed by a monster I thought you wanted to live," He yelled back.
Filia looked at him strangely then spoke "Xellos?" she asked.
Xellos looked at her like she was insane
"Are you Xellos?" she asked again.
"You forgot me in twelve years, I'm hurt Filia." Xellos pouted.
Filia ignored him "Hm.a monster saving someone from another monster. There's something wrong with that." she said "why are you even here!"
Xellos smirked "who wants to know?"
Filia glared at him
"I'm out here looking for my daughter." he said giving up.
"Your daughter?!" she asked shocked by the thought.
Xellos nodded "Yes, what you don't think we can reproduce?" he asked knowing well she wasn't really his blood or gene's, heck she wasn't even technically his at all.
"Why are you here then Filia?" he asked.
Filia shrugged causing Xellos to lean his head on one side curiously.
"Actually I'm looking for Val." she said concerned once again with the task at hand.
Xellos nodded "So finders keepers?" he asked
Filia glared at him "Don't even think it monster."
Xellos shook his head "Wouldn't dream of crossing you."
Filia sighed, "Why did you save me Xellos?"
Xellos didn't answer her she looked straight at him "that."
"NO!"
"I was going to say that wasn't a monster," he stated quickly.
"Then what the hell was it?" Filia cried.
"All we know is that it's the enemy," he said.
"The enemy?" Filia asked confused.
"Their agents working for an enemy Filia-chan." he said.
Filia glared at him "What enemy?"
"A darkness no one really knows." he said.
"Well why did you save me!" she said.
Xellos smirked "That is a secret." Filia quickly hit him on the head "I just thought I'd help you find Val." he smiled
"You want to help me." she asked. Xellos nodded, Filia thought about it "Two heads are better then one I suppose, and it would be faster. Plus with those weird things going around Val may not be that safe. I suppose you can help but no funny business got it!"
Xellos smirked "Of course not Filia" Then he opened his eyes slightly and looked around.
"I think we should get moving. They'll regroup and attack us again." he grabbed her arm and pulled her behind him.
They had walked for hours looking everywhere in the forest. Val was nowhere in sight. Filia was beginning to get sleepy, her feet were dragging as she yawned.
"Maybe we should find an inn." Xellos stated
Filia looked at him "Groggy?"
"No."
"No inn but let's just rest here for a few minutes." she said sitting down and leaning on a tree. Xellos sighed and sat down as well. They were silent for ten minutes when Xellos finally spoke,
"So your really looking after Val?" there was no answer.
Xellos turned to her and saw she was sleeping. He smiled then stood up and stretched. He then picked her up and started to walk towards the nearest town.
Xellos followed her in every dream. This was no different, he followed her and she laughed at him. Perhaps she wanted to mock him, of the thought he could not figure out. Her hair flowing behind her as she ran. He soon found himself smirking as he chased her. She teased him making the chase ever more enjoyable.
