"Damn it!" David slammed his fist against the table, "Damn it, Damn it, DAMN IT!" as he continued to pound the table with his fist Judal stared in amusement, "Calm down David, no use beating yourself up over it,"

David looked up the black Magi, furious, "I could have done it… I could have ended everything then and there if only that man hadn't gotten in my way!" David shouted back, he threw himself back into a chair and placed his forearm over his eyes in frustration.

"Yeah, Sinbad can be annoying like that… but there's no need for you to worry, you'll get another chance to get your revenge. And if you need any help you can always rely on my power…"

Judal smirked as David looked at him, "I guess your right. It was all thanks to you that I was able to capture a Dungeon and gain this power," David pulled his sword from its sheath and admired the eight-pointed star symbol while running his figures along its blade.

David sighed heavily before placing the sword back in its rightful place. He then pulled off his boot and pulled up his pants to reveal a light burn on his leg, "He even managed to injure me…" Judal threw him some bandages and David wrapped them around the burn before placing his boot back on.

"Well I believe that the Empress wishes to see you," Judal spoke as David got up and walked past him, "Yeah I know, that's where I'm headed now… You coming?" Judal shook his head, "No, I think I'll pass this time… Have fuuuuun!" Judal waved him off.

David walked down the halls of the Kou palace, heading for the throne room where he was to meet Empress Gyokuen. He sighed heavily, "I wonder what that women wants this time?" David turned to face the double doors leading to the throne room, "Well, guess I should just get this visit over with…" David placed both hands on each door and pushed them open revealing a large room with various priests standing around the Empress herself sitting on her throne.

"Empress Gyokuen, you ask to see me," David knelt down on one knee bowing his head in respect, "Yes… I heard you confronted the girl Esla on your own, I thought I told you to wait before striking,"

David lifted his head, "I am deeply sorry for my actions, however if I hadn't have attacked when I did we would have lost her once more," Gyokuen lifted herself off the throne and walked down to where David was kneeling, "However now they know we know where she is… that man will definitely guard her more carefully then ever before, after all she is…"

"I know what she is!" David shouted suddenly, Gyokuen in turn smirked covering her mouth with her long sleeve, "Stand up David, there's no need for you to kneel in front of me, you're like a son to me," She smiled almost kindly as David stood up, "After all it was I who rescued you after you fled your village, it was I who saved you when you had no where else to go,"

David once again bowed his head, "And I am grateful to you for all you have done for me, but I must find her and settle things between us once and for all," David looked at the Empress with determination in his eyes.

Gyokuen simply smiled as she saw the many black Rukh fluttering around David's body, "Very well but before you I want you to go and visit my eldest son Kouen and assist him for a while… a change in scenery might do you good right now," David bow once more, "As you wish my Queen."

…

"So Kiddo, how'd it go?" Judal ask while sitting, perched in a tree. David continued to walk past him as he replied, "That's none of your business Judal, but if you must know I'm going to see Prince Kouen soon," Judal jumped down from the tree he was in and walked alongside David.

"Oh really, you become more and more like an obedient dog every time I see you," Judal smirked evilly as David came to a sudden halt, "A dog? I told you before the only reason I help the Organization is so that I can get my revenge, nothing more northing less," David spoke clearly before continuing back to his room.

David threw himself back onto his bed and closed his eyes. He had instructed Judal to leave him alone for the time being, he wanted some time to think about what his next move would be. As David began to fall asleep he started to began to remember the past, more specifically the time he had spent with Esla over seven years ago.

…

"Big brother! Where are you!... BIG BROTHER!" Esla called into the night her eyes about to over flow with tears. David had taken her out to the forest but the two of them got separated from each other.

David heard his little sisters screams for help off in the distance, "Esla! Don't worry I'll find you! Just stay put!" David frantically searched high and low, in trees and under rocks for her but couldn't find her, 'where are you Esla?' he thought to himself.

David continued to search for Esla until finally he her soft sobs close by, "Esla!" David ran over to a fallen tree trunk and sitting on the other side of it he saw Esla hugging her legs to her chest crying.

"Big Brother!?" she stood up and flew into his arms still crying, "I thought that you had left me here all alone!"

David looked down at the small child and pat her head, softly stroking her hair, "It's all right now Esla. You can stop crying, I'm here now and… I would never just leave you out here… now lets head back home, ok?" Esla nodded her head, holding David's hand tightly she wiped the tears from her eyes, "Ok big brother!"

…

David opened his eyes as he came back to reality, "Why am I remembering these things now of all times? I already made up my mind, I will destroy Esla and take my revenge, that's all I have to do," David pushed himself up off the bed as a guard knocked on the door.

"Lord David the carriage that will take you to Prince Kouen has arrive."

David then placed a few items into a small black bag and walked out the door, "Alright, I'm ready, lets go" the guard nodded as he led the way to the carriage closing the door behind David.

Ok so this is just a chapter I made to focus a little more on David, I hope you all like it. If you have any suggestions please tell me and this is just a warning I have a lot on my plate at the moment with school and Scouts and everything so it may be a while before I am able to update again but please be patient with me in the mean time alright.

Anyway the next chapter the focus will once again be on Esla so look forward to it. I would also like to know if you guys think that the stories pace is to fast or to slow so tell me what you think.

Have a nice day!
