Yosh~! REALLY short chapter- just sort of a drabble I've done. Nothing special, just a little something for you guys to look at and go, "WHF why do I bother?!"

I will tell you now, it is because...!

Disclaimer: **butts in** Because Tenshi D. Alicia does not own One Piece!

Me: Hey!

Disclaimer: **raises eyebrow** Don't cross me hun'.

Disclaimer: ON WITH LE FIC!

Me: yeah, yeah...

Chapter 3

The ones who couldn't die- tales of the world escaped and the world denied

A place somewhere far away….

Mom…! Mom…! I found something pretty!

I remember it clear as day in dreams…

Oh, how pretty! Your father will be very happy!

But they flee so fast when I wake, I never can recall them…

I'm sure he'll love it, why don't you take it to him now?

The life of those called "privileged"…

Hee hee! I hope he likes it!

But who are kept as prisoners, used as shields…

Mommy! Mommy!

No! Ma-!

…

Oh, what a fine specimen! Daddy, can I have her? She's an awfully wonderful one!

Those who are called "dragons", they deserve to be called so. Their talons tear the sky, and reach down from the gravely misnamed "heavens" of hellish cliffs and skies to mark their prey with their sacred "claw", burning onto the flesh in their backs. They make their slaves dance to their deaths, lining their homeland with the dead bodies of those unfortunate enough to be ensnared by them.

Okaa-san…. Okaa-san…

Heyyy, little girl! Get moving! You're taking too long! Take that! And that!

The days that passed…. The days that dragged…. The days that never stopped…

So, this is the lot of them? Thank you very much for doing business with us my lord! We deeply appreciate it!

Of course- if this pays off, it will bring in millions!

…

No! Please no! Mommy! Mommy! I want mommy!

Shut up girl! You shouldn't be allowed to live! You're lucky that you were picked for such a grand experiment such as this! Shut up girl, shut up!

No! Mommy! Let me go! I want Mommy! NO!

…

I remember. I lived there. The city of angels. The pits of hell. The homes of those who burn their prisoners, the land of all things sacred.

It is my namesake.
