Where the Sky Meets the Sea

Disclaimer: This is pointless. You all know I don't own any of these damn cute characters from
Escaflowne. I do have Mariko, Razan, Nori, Hitoshi, Kotaro and the bastard Kenji.
A/N- I have changed the time in the story. Instead of 2 years after the Dragon War, its 4 and 1/2
years after the war. This means Mariko and Dilandau are 19. Also, one more note. Dilandau has no
relation to Allen Schezar. They are not brother and sister. Dilandau was also never a girl. In this story,
Dilandau has a totally different history which you will soon discover. Enjoy =)
Where the Sky Meets the Sea
Chapter Fourteen
**********Mariko's Dream**********
"Mariko, calm down.....it's time for another lesson." Maiko's grandfather, Yoshi, stared
at his granddaughter affectionately. He watched as the eight year old took a final bounce on her
bed and finally jumped off and followed him to the Royal Gardens. "Today, we will start on the
healing spells. It will require a mixture of herbs and a spell. Now listen carefully....this requires much
attention from you. This spell might help you one day." The Draconian Healer and the Draconian
Princess went to the middle of the herb garden. The gardeners and servants were nowhere in sight.
"Now, I want you to repeat after me, ok Mariko?"
"Sure, Grandpa" Mariko smiled at him sweetly. Her two front teeth were missing.
"I will now start....A body once strong"
"A body once strong"
"But now is weak"
"But now is weak" Mariko repeated with her eyes shut.
"Was invaded by foreign aliens"
"Was invaded by foreign aliens"
"This spell I say"
"This spell I say"
"This spell I pray"
"This spell I pray"
"Will make you better.....I know"
"Will make you better.....I know" Mariko's eyes snap open. "How will that help the
sick person, Grandpa??"
"Well, you also need to have the paste. You need several ingredients so listen up. See,
here is one of the ingredients you would need. It's Honeysuckle flower. The others that you would
need is Mentha leaves, Chrysanthemum flower, Lotus roots, Daffodil Petals, Angelica, and Field Mint.
When you have found all this, mix it all in a bowl. Crush them into a paste using water. Then apply
the paste to the wound while chanting the spell."
"Is that all, Grandpa?" Mariko inquired.
"Wait....I forgot the most important ingredient in the paste. After the paste is form, you
must put in some fresh........"
"PRINCESS MARIKO!!!"
**********End of Dream**********
"Princess Mariko?! Princess?!?! PRINCESS MARIKO?!?!?! Hey?!" Chesta yelled at her, waking
Mariko from her sleep.
"Huh?? Whats going on??" Mariko saw it was almost morning. She looked down and saw
that she had stayed with Dilandau all night. She had forgot to replace the cool towel on his head
ever since she fell asleep.
"Mariko? Whats wrong with Lord Dilandau? He is bleeding from the mouth!!" Chesta
informed her.
Mariko looked at the General and indeed he was bleeding from the mouth. "Chesta, help
me!" Mariko and Chesta hoist Dilandau up into a sitting postion. At that moment, Dilandau awoke
from his slumber. He tried to speak but that only resulted in more blood from his mouth. "Aaaahhh,
no! Don't talk!" Mariko quickly replaced the towel. "Chesta, go outside and get me some fresh cold
water!" Mariko looked at Dilandau in dismay. His face was very flushed but his mouth was icy blue
with a thin trickle of blood going down the side. Mariko swiftly and carefully wiped away any of the
dry blood on the corner of his lips. "oOoOo......Dilandau! I wish I know what to do!" she moaned at
him even though he offer no suggestions. When Chesta returned, she continue to wash the
General's red face with the cold water. Finally, Mariko was able to rest when Dilandau fell asleep
from all that washing.
Mariko walked outside and found the slayers sitting in a circle, awaiting news of Dilandau's
health. When she walked up to them, they all stood up.
"How is he, Mariko??" Razan asked. "How is he??" the others echo behind him.
"He's....he's......worse. Dilandau started bleeding today and......and his fever has gotten
higher. Look, everyone. I need you to listen. I may know a way to save him. But the trouble is I can't
remember one of the materials needed. I need....." Mariko started to describe the herbs that she
wanted. They might be in the fields or the woods. But she told Razan and Gatty to watch over
Dilandau.
All the slayers, except the ones on vigil, including herself set out to find the herbs. They
spent the whole day searching. By the end of the day, all the herbs were found except the
unknown ingredient. *Without it....will Dilandau survive?? If only I could remember!!*
A/N- I know this is not my best chapter but its been kinda hectic in New York these past few weeks.
With the World Trade Center and all. My heart is grieving for all the victims and their families. Even
though we have experience such a tragic loss of many innocent lives, I know in my heart that we
will make it through alright. Bless you and God Bless America.
