Chapter 4
Destruction
Hitomi woke early the next morning to look through the vast books of the library in the Shezar Manor. Dilandau was already down there and looking through books. One of them he was looking really closely at.
"Either you have a reading deficit or you cant see anything." Hitomi said.
"I am just trying to figure out your language." He said.
"Have you found anything?" She asked.
"Just this. But it isn't helping much with only knowing Gaean." He said.
"Here, let me." Hitomi took the book from him. "It says: The harp is found in only in Fanelia, that's sorta a start."
Dilandau was now feeling unnerving. He had no patience; he lost it when he was trained himself. He wanted almost to snatch the book from her hands and try to figure out how she was reading it. But no a rash decision like that could break the trust he was trying to achieve. Dilandau was mean at heart, his mother made him that way. She had always said "No relationship works unless you have an argument" exactly her words. That almost fit with what he was trying to figure out in his mind.
"Hey Dilandau, you ok?" Hitomi said snapping him out of his thoughts of his mother.
"Uh yeah sorry I was just thinking about someone."
"Could this someone have cerulean eyes, short light blond hair and happen to be related to Allen?" Hitomi said teasingly
"This furthers my idea that all people from the Mystic Moon are weird. But no I was not thinking about Celena, I was thinking about my mother. And yes I have a mother and I did not come from hell." He said.
"Back then you could have fooled anyone, well what was she like?" Hitomi asked.
"Like me only female. So what does that say anyways?" He asked her avoiding the question. He actually wondered if she was alive, his mother, anyways.
"That's a lot to go on, well it says here that it is in a cave deep in the forest right next to a breeding ground of dragons." Hitomi said.
"Does it say anything about "Dragla's point"?" He asked.
"Yeah it does, is that the breeding ground?" She asked.
"Yes, and high-" he was cut off by some yells.
Allen ran down the hall and ran in. "Were being attacked."
"By what?" Dilandau asked.
"You wont believe me unless you see."
"Try me."
"Goblins, dragons, orcs, and vodnik. Of course the vodnik stay by the water. Dragons of all kinds, plus a kind I have never seen. If you are true to us you must help us fight." Allen said quickly.
"Of course I'll help, I want to stop these things before they destroy Asturia, it is a truly a beautiful county. Much better than Zaibach. But that is beside the point, do the dragons spit out spikes in stead of water or fire?" He said as they moved down the hall way.
"Yes why?"
"Our dragons have evolved. They are called stone dragons, they have stone like skin making them hard to kill. But they are slow."
"Really. Will a guymelef tear through it?" Allen asked him.
"We'll just have to see, but I have my alsedise. It still has the crimi- claw and a lot of liquid metal in it. But no flamethrower."
"I think it would be best you didn't have it. I have fond memories of that thing."
"I was going to stay near the ocean with it." He said jokingly.
'At least they are getting on good terms' Hitomi thought following them. Celena suddenly appeared.
"Brother what is happening?" She asked.
"Celena I want you and Hitomi to get to the cellar, I don't want you come out for anything."
"Oh Allen I forgot to say me and Hitomi found the location of the harp. It is near Dragla's point."
When Hitomi heard her name a vision enveloped her. She felt her whole body shaking, then she felt like suffocating. She then saw Asturia's castle plummel to the ground.
"Hitomi," Allen said putting a hand on her shoulder.
"I'm all right." She said.
"I think it would be safer to get it now then wait till after the fight when all the dragons return to the breeding ground." Allen said.
"I'll go if you want me to."
"I'll send Van with you."
"Allen that is a bad idea." Hitomi said.
"What?" Allen said.
"She has a point, Van will be needed here," Dilandau said.
"But I cant trust you by yourself to go out there alone. You might try to rise up-"
"I'll go with him brother." Celena said. "since you can trust me. Well I think you should."
"I don't think…"
Celena gave him that puppy dog look.
"If it is ok with Dilandau." He said. Part of him was screaming no.
"I don't care." Dilandau said.
"Hitomi find Van tell him what the plan is then go down the farthest you can in this manor." Hitomi left. When Dilandau and Celena were about to leave Allen grabbed Dilandau's arm, "If anything happens to her then I will hold you responsible for even if a hair is missing from her." Allen warned.
"I am human you know, and I know of what your capable of, just give you a sword and a reason, or just harm Celena and I could be lying on the ground void of all body parts, Allen I respect your authority but you need to save your country now." Dilandau said leaving.
****
Dilandau led Celena to his alsedise.
"What did my brother say anyways?" She asked.
"Fly safely." He lied. He wasn't about to tell Celena of Allen's threat. The old Dilandau had left them uneasy he had every right to that.
"Yeah right." Oops she didn't believe him. Oh well.
Dilandau jumped to his alsedise and opened it. He held a hand out to Celena. She took it. He pulled her over. "Ok I have never had someone in my guymelef before. But when I get in I want you to hold on to me ok?"
"How?" she asked.
"Just put your arms around my neck. You will be in front of me not behind or you will get crushed." He turned and steped in his guymelef. Like a bunch of hands they closed around him they opened again. "Come on. You cant come hold on to me when the water comes up or you'll get soaked and it gets cold, I don't want to bring you home with hypothermia." She got closer to him. She put her arms around his neck. He was surprisingly warm. The thing closed around him and her. Making them even closer now. "Just a prewarning, when the alsedise flies it can make you sick if not used to it." He said uneasily. Her head was resting under his neck with her arms around his neck to make him more uncomfortable emotionally but very comfortable physically. He had to admit it actually felt nice to have her so close, like having a missing piece of him finally connected to him. Wait what was he thinking, those kind of thoughts were not permitted in his mind.
****
Allen's guymelef's sword crashed against the stone dragon's teeth. His sword's blade hand been caught by the dragon's mouth? The dragon did a swift jerk that made Allen lose his sword. The dragon's tail caught him off guard and smashed itself against his side.
Ground troops were fighting off goblins and orcs. Fire was set to some of the homes.
Van has thanked Hitomi and escorted her to safety himself. Then set out. He was actually loosing to the dragons of Fanelia, the ones that had protected his home. They were destroying Asturia for some odd reason.
****
Celena was half whimpering from the turbulence. Even Dilandau still got a little sick from the speed in which he was traveling. Something was flying up. A lot of somethings. They were air dragons. He knew what they were after, him.
****
There was a large light that flooded the vision of all things. When their vision had cleared the ground shook like never before, So much that the palace that was in everyone's view had collapsed. So did all the homes.
***
Hitomi cursed under her breath, she was shaking again, but this time the whole place was shaking too.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Well what do you think. Now tommarow I am going to write another chapter for Enter the Dragonslayers. So you get the idea I have here. Every time I upload on this fic I upload on the other, visa versa. R/R There was some romance in this chapter between Dilly and Celly, can you tell that she likes him and he is coming more attached to her. If you didn't see that coming then you must be blind.
