They declared war on the Edelstein Clan on the fourth full moon. They marched forward, their flags of black and white waving high and swords perched on their shoulders.

"Come fight, prissy rich boy!" Gilbert yelled out from behind the large gate.

A young man the age of sixteen came out into the balcony. His black hair was combed back and his glasses sat on the bridge of his nose.

He stared down at Gilbert with a look of clear disgust. "You fool. Who do you think you are, coming at this time?" He asked with his arms crossed.

"Come on, little master. A declaration of war means war. You can't just refuse," Gilbert said with a clear smirk.

"And if I refuse?" He asked.

"We'll terrorize your home and take everything," Gilbert responded.

"It seems I have no choice. Open the gate!" He yelled out.

The gate opened and Gilbert clutched his sword tightly, watching a mob run out with weapons as well.

"We go!" Gilbert yelled before they all charged foward to the other army.

...

With the sunrise came no end to the blood shed.

With no other choice the young man reached into the drawer and pulled out a small wooden whistle. He breathed in deeply and blew the whistle, a silent white noise coming from the wooden tube.

He waited and took his own sword, leaving the safety of his own home.

As he stepped into the battlefield, he fought as best as he could.

"There you are, little master. I've been waiting to see you personally," Gilbert said approaching him.

"You fool. I refuse to give into your ridiculous request," he said.

"Come on, Roderick. And to think we used to be such good friends," Gilbert said as he stopped in front of him.

"Friends? You used to beat me up all the time. You're still a barbarian," Roderick said.

"Barbarian?" Gilbert asked darkly. "If you want to see how bad I can be, I'll show you," he said.

His eyes were glowing and his white skin turned black leaving his white smirk showing before he disappeared underground and into the shadows.

Roderick stood patiently, watching as the shadows jumped from place to place and seemed to dance like flames.

Though a bloody battle went on around him, the world was silent to him and time went slow as he did his best to predict the next event.

Gilbert saw his chance and out of the shadows, piercing forward. Roderick barely had time to move and was stabbed right in the leg. He hissed in pain and fell back.

"This is the end of you, prissy rich boy. I win," Gilbert said standing over him. He grabbed the sword tightly and raised it, ready to win the battle.

Just then a whistle blew. He turned quickly to see the old leader calling everyone back.

"What?" He asked as everyone ran back.

He turned and saw a new clan flying foward at full speed.

"What are they... You," he said looking down at Roderick below him.

He adjusted his glasses and looked up at Gilbert. "It appears my back up arrived early," he said.

Gilbert snarled and looked back to the sprites flying their way. At the very lead was a young teen with long hair tied back into a messy ponytail and wearing armor and a look of determination.

"Shieße," he growled out before running off with his clan. "This war isn't over!" He yelled back.

Elizabeta reached the young man and helped him up. "Mr. Edelstein. Are you okay?" She asked worriedly.

"I've been better. That fool is really troublesome," he said looking down at his bleeding leg.

...

"Hold on. This story is going nowhere," Minel said.

"What? How dare you interrupt mein awesome back story!" Gilbert shouted.

"You explained nothing! Why did you go to war? Where the heck did Elizabeta come from? Who is 'Little master?'"

"He said it was a man named Roderick," Vladimir said.

"But what about the rest? And why are you still wanted if everyone already died?"

"I was getting to that part!" Gilbert yelled.

"It's an awesome story and you're interupting," Gilbert said.

"I didn't even ask for a story. I just asked why you had a bounty," Minel said.

"Well if I don't tell the story then you won't understand," Gilbert snapped.

"You know what. Fine. Whatever, go on," Minel said.

Gilbert huffed before continuing.

...

Gilbert ran into the forest and caught up to his clan.

"They called for back up," Frederick said.

...

"Who the hell is Frederick?" Minel interrupted.

"Obviously the most awesome leader ever! Old man Fritz was the best!" Gilbert yelled out.

"Just continued," Vlad said with a sigh.

...

The clan waited until they were ready again for another attack. They again marched in and found the group of forest sprites guarding the gate.

"We attack from the forest where we remain unseen," they ordered.

Gilbert took out a bow and arrow and shot forward.

The arrow struck one girl in the chest before many other arrows flew foward.

The forest Sprites flew inside where they told Elizabeta and Roderick.

"They are hiding in the forest. We are the advantage here," Elizabeta said as she walked, leading the army forward.

"They're coming!" Frederick yelled out. They all hid and waited.

Elizabeta marched forward, her hair tied back and other tree sprites marching behind.

"You just stay there and look pretty," she told Roderick teasingly.

They went into forest and looked around.

"It's been too long, Gilbert. Come out and fight me man to man!" She yelled out.

With that men came out and began to shoot arrows towards her. They all spread out and flew around, quickly killing men.

Gilbert watched in amazement as his clan was absolutely slaughtered around him.

They stood no chance. The forest was the worst place to fight forest sprites, who knew the land more than it's creatures.

Elizabeta flew over to him and stood staring down at him.

He stayed frozen staring at her. "You filthy humans," she said looking darkly at him.

"To think that we were once so close," she said raising her sword.

Gilbert only watched her raise it and looked down shamefully. His entire clan was killed in little less than even thirty minutes.

He was the last one. Other pixies were already clearing the bodies. He waited for the sword to come down but it never did.

As he looked up, he saw red watery eyes. "How could you. You used to be a friend," Elizabeta said lowering her sword.

"I can't do it." She said covering her face. "You're just too awesome."

...

"I really doubt that's what she said," Minel interupted.

"Excuse me, were you there?" Gilbert asked.

"No. That's what I thought," Gilbert said.

"Tell the actual story," Vlad said.

...

"I can't do it," she said covering her face. "Just go. Leave before I really do kill you," she said turning away.

Gilbert looked up at her. She was showing mercy. Something that did not belong in the battlefield. He stood, wondering when he got the stains of blood on his clothes.

He turned and sighed. "Elizabeta. Don't ever show weakness to your enemy," he said.

He turned quickly and stabbed his sword straight into the back of her shoulder. She hissed and pulled away.

"That's the number one rule of a fight," he said raising his sword again.

"I'm Prussian. I don't just give up," he said darkly.

Elizabeta held her shoulder in pain and scowled at the albino teen. "This war isn't over," he said before disappearing into the shadows.

...

"So you ran away. But decided to be a dick first?" Vlad asked.

"That's all I got from this story," Minel said.

"I didn't run away, I drew back!" Gilbert yelled.

"So what happened after? Did you go back?" Vlad asked.

"Yes. I still go bother Roderick from time to time. I run into Elizabeta when I'm on jobs sometimes too. We get into fights all the time," Gilbert explained.

"What kind of jobs?" Minel asked.

"I do lots of dirty work," Gilbert said.

"You're a mercinary?!" Minel asked.

"What? No. Just gather information. I have a little brother now, I'm trying to clean my record."

"How do you have a brother if your whole clan was killed?" Vlad asked.

"Well he isn't my real Brother. I just found him and took him in. He had no memories of the past what's so ever and was unconscious in the middle of a war zone," Gilbert explained.

"So you do have a heart," Minel said.

"I'm not as evil as you think. Sure I got into a lot of fights but I still have my own soft spots," Gilbert admitted.

"Like what?" Minel asked unconvinced.

"Like children and baby chicks."

"Baby chicks?" Vlad asked.

"Yes. They're awesome."

Minel rolled his eyes. "What about you Minel? Any soft spots?" Vlad asked.

"Just my yogurt."

"You're so lame," Vlad said.

"What about you?" Minel asked.

"I like cute animals," Vlad said. "Like baby bats."

"Bats?!" Minel asked. "That is so gross."

"They're cute!"

"Puppies are cute," Gilbert said.

"Hold on, I still don't understand why you still have a bounty," Vlad said.

"Because I started lots of wars."

"So did others, why are only you wanted?"

"Because I started most of them for world domination."

Vlad sighed and kept walking. "I'm tired," he whined.

"We'll stop somewhere soon," Minel reassured him.

"There's a town close by," Gilbert said pointing foward. "Except I'll have to sneak in."

"Do whatever you want. I just want to eat and get some sleep," Minel said continuing to walk.

,...

They entered a small town and Gilbert immediately fell into Minel's shadow. "Wow. Nice town," Minel said admiring the big houses.

"Go to the biggest one. That's the inn," Gilbert instructed.

"But there's no sign," Vlad said.

"Just go!" Gilbert hissed.

They shrugged and went to the largest house and entered the gate.

"Excuse me. Can I help you?" A man asked approaching them from the side of the house. He wore glasses and had a distinct beauty mark.

"Oh. We're looking for a room," Vlad said.

"A room?" The man asked.

Just then Gilbert popped and smirked at the man.

"That's right. Won't you lend us a room, Little master?" Gilbert asked.

"G-Gilbert?!" The man stuttered out.

"Little master?" The other two questioned. "Hold on. You're the guy!" Vlad yelled out.

"Why did you bring us here?"

"Why are you here?" Roderick asked the man.

"Kesesese. I was just passing and thought I could use a night break. What do you say?" He asked.

"You fool. Why should I lend you one of my rooms?" Roderick crossed his arms.

"Because you like having me around," Gilbert teased.

"Don't be ridiculous. After everything you've done-"

"-yet you still don't try to turn me in every time I come."

The other two exchanged looks and looked back to strange tension coming from the two.

"Are they enemies? Because I'm sensing some other kind of relationship," Vlad said.

"I don't know what to believe anymore," Minel replied.

"It's just one night, Roddy. The guys are tired," Gilbert said turning to the two.

"And they are?"

"My name is Vladimir and this is Minel. We're just traveling and ran into Gilbert," Vlad said.

Roderick sighed and nodded. "Well I suppose one night shouldn't be a problem. You better not start trouble," Roderick said before leading them inside.

...

New character:

Frederick- Frederick the second (human)

Roderick- Austria (soon to be introduced)

A/N: Wow Gilbert's back story I had something more epic planned but then I wrote it and it was so bland.

Sorry, heh.

Anyways today's funfact:

Both Elizabeta and Roderick can't exactly let go of their old friendship with Gilbert, so they can't turn him in.

Besides, without an army, he's just annoying and not dangerous at all anymore.

However he does get to the point that Elizabeta and him get into real fights but that's always been natural for them.

I want to release more on this trio so hopefully I can add some actual childhood stories in the next chapter.
