She-Devil
Alan darted away quickly and stared in shock at his younger sister Cerena. What was she doing in Zaibache's room? He soon gave her a disgusted look as he jumped to the conclusion she had been experimented on. He looked over her and there he saw another lump on the bed. His face then made an expression of pure horrification as he silently lead Cerena away from the room.
As soon as they were away from the room Alan asked, "You were sleeping with him weren't you? Cerena I am disappointed in you…what happened?" He asked softly, disappointed, and patiently. She looked up at him angrily, "You should trust me more then that. The Emperor is my friend. It shouldn't matter…You'll see the Emperor tomorrow…" At that both left and waited till dawn for the unveiling of the mysterious Emperor.
At the light of dawn everyone gathered in Van's throne room awaiting the Emperor of Zaibache. When the Emperor arrived again he wore veils and many layers of silks. He sat upon the ground and bowed respectfully at Van. He stood up and then a slowly unveiled himself. There stood in a noble frame was a…child. Not only a child but also a girl child. She looked around her eyes seemingly sad Hitomi noticed. She reached into her sleeve and took out a small white sphere. It was the energist Hitomi used to transport herself to Gaeae.
"What are you? Who are you?" Alan asked infuriated. In reply he got a glare from the small girl. As the girl looked around the room Van noticed her eyes, one was purple and the other blue. She answered quietly, "My name is Mauriomi Yuki and I am older then I appear," Van was about to interrupt but Mauriomi raised her hand to silence him and continued, "I will tell you of my life but please allow me to"
"I was born on the Mystic Moon, but as I know, Earth. I was found by a street whore that took care of me. She shouldn't have. She gave me an education but was never home and drunk, had guns and brought pimps back. She was horrid but she gave me a beautiful name. Mauriomi, but for simplicity it was Maury. I made a friend at school though. We became more then friends, his name was Max. Short simple and sweet. He knew about my whole life and was the only one that admired the difference in my eyes. At the age of fifteen he gave me the energist. He told me that no matter what we would be friends. One day I held the energist close to my heart and it began to glow in synchronization with my heartbeat…I was transported here…to the heart of Zaibache. Immediately I was surrounded by armored men and was thrown into a corner of a cell."
"I was greeted by a five year old crying girl who sought my help. What was a thirteen-year-old supposed to do? Strange planet…treated like a savage immediately. I embraced the child and asked her where I was. She told me all about her brother, all about the planet, and all about her only friend Jajuka. She horrified me by telling me how alone and scared she had been…about the experiments Zaibache constructed. How she was spat on and they took her away every evening. Every morning I was treated as a slave…a handmaiden, I was that and nothing more. Thrown back into the pitiful cell by night when Cerena was gone. I had to be alone…one day a man. Not a man but merely someone older then me…who had lost his arm and had it replaced a claw. He gave back the white energist given to me by the boy that was my only friend. I cried for the first time since on the planet and told him. His face saddened and he said he was sorry…truly sorry…"
"The next night was the most horrifying of my life…I was beaten trying to help Jajuka protect Cerena. We both failed her and the next morning, in her place was a bloodthirsty boy named Dilandau. I was there for a few mere months…I had lost the second friend I had. It was my turn now…every night taken away by armored men…beaten and beaten. Dissected upon and drugged. Every night to what seemed to me an eternity. I didn't even have Jajuka to help me. But there was someone, he was called Folken and was the general of Zaibache. He never helped construct experiments but never set me free. He was simply there to be my friend. I knew I would lose him…and I want him back." By now Maury's voice was cracked and she held back tears. Everyone awed at her bravery to speak through glares being shot at her.
"Finally they succeeded to fulfill their experiment. They reversed my age…I grew dumber and younger…Folken couldn't take it…and I had become Dilandau's favorite handmaiden. Secretly they both constructed more experiments attempting a cure. The most they could do was keep me intelligent and capable to learn more. But the truth was still there, I was to age back into nothing. Finally they stopped the aging process to what I looked as was five. I was there the whole time constantly being hidden by Folken and Dilandau. They kept me safe while they fought. The Dragon Slayers found me and I was luckily able to befriend them. But they all were murdered anyway now weren't they." Again Maury's face had a calm expression and a tone of sympathy.
"So a five year old girl made little machines with scrap bits here and there. Used the power of magic and technology to rebuild a whole country. Just so I can prove that, there is no such thing as an evil country. That's impossible…there are always to sides to everything. I was able to make myself grow again to the age of thirteen…but no more. Now I stand before you almost thirty years of age…but look no older then a preteen…how's that for immortality?" She finished with a cocky tone.
Hitomi held Van's arm as his face scorned as though all what this girl said to her was a lie. Alan too had an expression of hate towards a girl. As there eyes gave her an icy glare soldiers stepped into the room. Soldiers of Zaibache, Dragon Slayers. But the Dragon Slayers were dead…they were…Gatti, Dalet, Chesta, Migel, Guimel. Alan looked in shock at the Slayers and then looked back at the empress and whispered, "She Devil"…
