Chapter 30: Questions
Setsuna walked down the hallway alone. A thick, dark cloud of depression floated over. It was only a few days ago that she was reunited with her daughter and now she was gone. She walked into her and Dilandau's room which was dark, the way Setsuna felt. She removed her black and gold armour and tossed it to the ground. She did the same with her boots and laid back on the bed. I've failed her. I couldn't save her from him. A few tears spilled out of her eyes and flowed down her cheeks. She turned onto her side and shed more tears.
Dilandau walked towards his room where he had just seen his wife enter. Even though it wasn't like him to be upset or "sad" he still felt it. He entered his room to find Setsuna laying on their bed weeping silently. He sighed and removed his sword, armoured jacket, and boots. He crawled towards her on the bed, laid beside her and wrapped his arm securely around her waist. He moved his lips to her ear and whispered sweet nothings and reassuring words into it.
Setsuna smiled. She knew this was hard for him. She only wished she had his strength. She lifted her hand to touch his strong muscular arm which was holding her protectively close to his body. A few more tears escaped her eyes. She turned over to face him and he held her even closer. She let out small sobs as she pressed her face against his pale lavender tunic.
Dilandau caressed and ran his fingers gently through her waist length hair. He couldn't bare to see her this upset. The last time he could remember her being this way was when she was brought back to Gaea without little Dilandra. He began to rub her back softly which seemed to help as Setsuna began to sob less. She lifted her head to stare deep into his crimson red eyes. His gaze warmed her body within an instant. His eyes emitted a warm and comforting feeling through her body.
Dilandau lowered his head towards her's. He needed to take control of her mouth which looked even more tempting to him at the time. Setsuna shut her eyes and moved her head up to his. As their lips met in a deep and passionate kiss, Gatti burst in though the door. Quickly Dilandau and Setsuna parted their lips and sat up right. Dilandau looked more than annoyed with the interruption. Gatti swallowed hard. He knew he was going to get hit for this.
"Yes? What is it Gatti?" Setsuna asked a bit annoyed as well.
"Uh, Lord Folken said to inform you that they know the location of Lady Dilandra." Setsuna's heart soared and a large smile came to her face.
"Thank you Gatti, you are dismissed." Gatti then bowed and existed the room. Setsuna immediately got out of bed and dressed herself. Dilandau did the same and once both were dressed they walked, well ran, to the bridge where Folken was.
"Where is she?" Setsuna asked in a demanding tone. Folken led her and Dilandau to a large screen which showed an image of the city Setsuna had once called home.
"As you two both know, all of the Dragon Slayer uniforms have a tracking device. We were unsure if they would work here on the Mystic Moon but we've been able to pick up Dilandra's location." on the map a red dot could be seen blinking. A feeling of relief swept over Setsuna. Oh thank god she's still in the Tokyo area, she thought relieved. She turned and headed out of the bridge quickly. Dilandau followed Setsuna to the guymelef docking bay.
Setsuna jumped into her gold coloured guymelef and turned the stealth cloak on. Thank god Folken was able make it possible to use the stealth cloaks in flight, she thought gratefully as she flew off with Dilandau trailing not too far behind. She swore to herself that if Allen did anything to Dilandra, his head would roll.
Millerna sat down on the plush blue velvet love seat in the sitting room in the Asterian castle. Her waist long golden hair flowed down her back like a calm ocean current. Upon her head she wore the royal Asterian tiara proudly. She gazed up at the night sky through the window and let out a sigh as she moved her gaze to her hands which laid clasped together on her lap. A large hand came and covered them. It was Dryden, her husband who she had been married to for nineteen long years. A question then came to her mind that she needed to ask him.
"Dryden," she said getting his full attention. "Why are we even at war with Ziabach?" He was startled with her question. "Well???" Dryden had found himself speechless. "It seems so pointless that we are. All we do is fight them and for what? Who even started the fighting?" the questions streamed through both Dryden and Millerna's minds. Who really did start the fighting? Dryden wanted to say Ziabach but what had Asteria done to provoke them? Or were they just fight because they wanted to?
Dryden rose to his feet and put his hand on his chin. For the past twenty odd years they had been at war but for what reason exactly. The questions boggled his mind. He walked out of the sitting room leaving Millerna alone again.
A/N: Yes I know, it's been a long time but I kinda had a bit of a writer's block again. Also I had a few school projects to work on so I didn't get much spare time to write. Well, please review and any flames can be sent to me at sailor_cosmos71@hotmail.com
