Chapter 3
Dilandau watched as Van got a very upset look on his face. Dilandau had explained that the Dragonslayers would be a good idea. He had also mentioned a harp in the book that Celena was looking for, for him. Some how she knew that what he wanted. The harp was used for bringing the dead back to life. He only trusted his men, though he hadn't met them he knew them somehow Celena's memory was given to him of what Dilandau that she had seen and done and thought. His memory was saved in hers and was stored. He stopped thinking it was giving him a headache. But the Dragonslayers were the only ones that he seemed to know the most. She could say all their names in order that she had met, Chesta, Gatti, Miguel, Guimel, Dallet, and Viole. She had accidentally turned in to herself when she was him when he was freaking out then he would faint from over-exhaustion then turn in to her. The first time he was about beat the crap out of Gatti, whe she had screamed in his mind causing him to scratch at his ears. He was screaming over and over.
"What good will the Dragonslayers do us anyway?" Van asked. He had sorta a snap to his tone. Though he trusted the man he didn't trust them. They had drug him to death and proposed that he won't kill the man that gave them their guymelef.
"He did scream out for them when he went nuts? Didn't he, I from experience know I tried to keep him calm; all he screamed was "Chesta, Gatti, and Dallet". The whole time, and "Don't leave me alone!" and "where Jajuka "," is where are my Dragonslayers", "my men I wish to see my Dragonslayers"." Celena mentioned. Allen looked at her. He had this look of sadness on his face that made her realize that he felt guilty for putting her through what she had been through.
"That is true. That Dilandau had cared for his Dragonslayers to their death even if he didn't show it. And the Dragonslayers were the only elite group getting the farthest in everything; they were the strongest, meanest, fastest and smartest group in all of Zaibach. Dilandau had pushed them farther than others. Zaibach had given them all a memorial, and only their captain was from Zaibach. Gatti was from Asturia, Chesta was from... Baslam, Viole and Guimel traveled all over Gaea, Miguel is from Freid but he traveled all over, pity he had to die there, and Dallet I have no idea where he had come from." Dilandau said. His eyes caught Celena she was looking at him with a intrigued look.
"How do you know so much about them?" Allen asked.
"I don't know." He wasn't about to tell him that his sister and him have kind of a phycic contact from the experiments. He wasn't sure himself so he wont say anything else. Better not, Allen, Knight of Calie, could be a dangerous person if given a reason and a sword. Or just hurt his sister. Then you better run.
"Van do you think Hitomi has any idea?" Allen asked.
"I don't know, do you think? Would she want to come back?" Van asked.
"What do you think?"
"I think that I should send her this book and a note. I just hope my writing classes have paid off." He said getting the book. Then getting a piece of paper and taking off a necklace.
He wrote down a letter to Hitomi. Then he enclosed it in the book along with the necklace. He then closed his eyes. A pillar of light came down and picked the book up.
Dilandau looked at him in confusion. So that was the pillar of light that Dornkirk was always complaining about. It was a sight.

Hitomi was in the shower. Her radio was on. A pillar of light came down on her dresser. It laid down a book. Then a feather floated ontop of it. Hitomi came out of the shower and quickly noticed the book. She touched the feather and it dissolved out of exhistence. She opened the book. The pendent slid out of the binding. She stared at it. She read the note that was in the book.
Dear Hitomi,
This is very interesting. Dilandau is here pledging alligence to us. Saying that there is an evil rising up that is only in myth. Celena believes him, more like is infatuated with him. And I believe her. But Allen is a different case. This book has a harp in it that is said to bring back people from death. Dilandau wishes to bring back his Dragonslayers. That's the part I don't like. So what do you think? We all miss you so much. Celena is much better from her little thing last time she did get sick a little after but it went away. We weren't too worried she just wouldn't eat too much and she hardly got any sleep. But just a couple weeks ago she had a seizure, from what Milerna says.
Well I got to get going.
Van
"Dilandau?" That was a scary thought. He had always been so... cruel, maniacal, crazy. He was making peace and caught the eye of Celena. This is just too confusing.
A vision came to her.
******
There was a woman who was crying.
"What do you mean our son is dead and alive?" Said a man who had his hand on the woman's shoulder. She looked up.
"He has been killed but a replacement has been found. They had mixed his genes with that little girl. She was being tested four years ago for side-effects, she lived, and his DNA has been injected in her to bring him back"
"That poor girl. Is there an alternative." The woman asked through sobs.
"We cannot find his body, they were on a routine run in the snow and he never came back. Some of the others had said he fell into the lake that had frozen over. His dog tags were the only thing found. There was rumor that he had gotten into a fight with another boy and he fell. But that is just a rumor.
"Who is the boy?" Said the man.
"He has been in a feud with Gatti Hesho. They seem to be good friends with getting into fights all the time. But a rumor is a rumor. I truly don't believe it."
******
Hitomi fell to the floor. It was a vision of the past. The towel fallen from her hands. The door opened.
"Oh please sis if you are faking having sex please do it on the bed." Said the voice of Horuko, her teenage brother, who she swears came off a dump truck.
Hitomi grabbed her towel and shoved him out of the room and locked her door.
"What a pervert." Hitomi said. She quickly got dressed. When done she looked at the book.
"The Death Harp
The Death Harp is made from the purest gold and the heartstrings of Medusa... It is said since the blood can reanimate a person, the tune from the heartstrings can bring a person back, the soul is kept dead until that person has done a great dead to prove there worthiness. The harp can only be played by a full blooded virgin at the death point of the dead to be arisen." The rest she skimmed over. But something caught her eye. "If the person who had brought back the dead changes his ways to evil then the dead will cease to exist and die the same way died before." So Dilandau had caught himself in a trap. If he wasn't evil now but turned evil then he would be powerless. Same game. Folken and her had this same conversation almost. About trust. Maybe Dilandau is trying to make peace. Like Folken, he had asked her why she trusted him and it could be his plan to over throw them. She told him that maybe he could return that trust. And he did. But he also died. She wouldn't let anyone else die anymore. She looked at her pendant. It laid there on her desk. She eyed it warily. There was a knock at her door. Her train of thought was lost.
"Hey Hitomi, it's me Yukari!"
"Come in."
"You haven't called." Hitomi shut the book when Yukari went toward it and put it away.
"Busy."
"Really, how come I don't believe that."
"I was."
"You were probably dreaming of that Van guy again. Or how much you miss Gea or what ever it is."
Hitomi was not listening to much. She was packing her stuff. "I have to leave soon."
"Where do you think your going?"
"Gaea."
"Hitomi you need to go back to that doctor again don't you?"
"NO Yukari, I don't, I don't need people telling me I'm crazy, when I know I right. I want to go back to Gaea. It is people like you including my parents that I hate, when they think I am a nut, I know a nut when I see one, they used to burn things and then they would try to kill the one person I love the most but still, that is beside the point. I wish to be back at Gaea."
Hitomi, who had been packing for about a week thinking something was going to happen, lifted from her friend. Yukari was dumbfounded as she watched her best friend who had just chewed her out rise up and disappear through the ceiling. Yukari fainted.

Hitomi found herself in a field. The Shezar Manor was very close by.
