Disclaimer: OK I don't own Esca or any thing like that so it just suck's to be me.
Some random note: OK I'm sorry if I have bad spelling but I have a dyslexia (and I have no idea how to spell that word) and my word processor's spell check... well let's just say that if I could destroy it without harming the computer I would. Oh and the spell check *eye twitches* ( I really hate the spell check if you haven't noticed) sometimes changes words automatically so if something's don't make any sense I hope you can figure it out. ~Blessed Be~

Chapter #1
How can I hate what I love?
The 'click click' noise of boots could be herd throughout the room as it echoed off the walls. It was a dark room with one walk out balcony off on the left of the door that led into the hall. Across from the door was a bed that was covered in a deep blood red cotton sheets. The was a desk to the right of the door and further away from the door on the right was a dresser with clothes in it. The room was mostly dark to fit the occupants mood for the day.

Reaching up to stroke a scare on his face the figure whispered 'cheek cheek'. The words slowly echoed off of the walls before it disappeared into a wispier. Stopping for only a moment Dilandau walked over to his balcony to read the altitude reader. They were to high in the atmosphere to go out side without freezing to death or smothering form the lack of oxygen (the higher you go up the thinner the air). He couldn't sleep no matter how hard he tried, he was just restless. After giving up sleep he had gotten up and already put on his armor and was ready to run his dragon slayers until they dropped once they got up. Dilandau looked over to the clock that read 4:48. Once it was five o'clock he could busy his mind with other thing, like seeking his revenge on that god damned dragon Van Fenel.
"Van." Dilandau hissed the word out of his mouth like it was a curse.
But until five o'clock he had twelve agonizing minuets to think about what that stupid dragon possessed and he did not. That girl from the mystic moon, oh how he wanted to hate her. To kill her like all the rest. But he could not. From the first time that he was able to really look at her face to face at one of Asturian's out posts he knew that there was something special about her. He had never had any feelings like these before and he hated them they made him weak, and he despised anything that made him weak. 'I hate her and when the situation arises I will gladly kill her' he told himself in his mind. He looked out the window and ran his gloved hand thru his silver gray hair. He so badly wanted to go out side and look out to the mystic moon. 'I wonder what it's like? Is it cursed like every one says it is? But how could such a beauty come from a cursed place?' No matter how hard he tried to stop his thoughts about that girl, but he could not. glancing over to the clock it read 4:51.
"Why dose time slow when ever I want it to go faster! I just want to stop these stupid feelings! I am the murder of hundreds of battles I only feel hate and the urge to kill!!!" He screamed into the darkness. 'Is that what you really want to feel?' a voice said in the back in his mind. He sat down at his desk and looked out the window deep in thought.
Dilandau was snapped out of his thoughts when he herd a knock at his door, then a muffled voice. "Lord Dilandau are you alright it's 5:15 already." His head snapped around like a serpent.
"I know what time it is!" He screamed at the door. Taking one last glance out the window he turned to go and smack around whoever disturbed his thoughts but not before he whispered "Hitomi" once before he left.

Dilandau's red eyes darted around as he looked from dragonslayer to dragonslayer. They knew that he was in a particular pissy mood and not to aggravate him.
"Take that to the infirmary." He ordered one of his dragonslayer.
The 'that' that he was referring to what one of his not so favorite dragonslayer's that had disturbed him. Once a few of his men took the other away they all made there way to the mess hall to eat.

'Hitomi'
Hitomi's head snapped up from the book that she had currently been reading and she looked over to Merl who was doing something in a corner of the room aboard the Crusade.
"Merl did you say my name?" She asked.
"No why would I want you, I'm busy." She said saucily.
"What are you doing over there anyways?" Hitomi asked wondering what the pesky cat girl could be up to.
"Fixing breakfast." Merl said as she moved over just enough for Hitomi to see a terrorized rat backed up into a corner.
"Ewww!" Hitomi cried as she ran from the room.

"What do you want Folken?" Dilandau snapped. The tall man with a clock that made him look even taller was sitting at a desk in his office.
"I have notices that one of your dragonslayer's is in the infirmary again." He said in a matter of fact kind of voice.
"Oh yes he disappointed me. He should have known to not disturbed me. What's your point about it. I didn't know that you cared so much about my men?" Dilandau said trying to provoke Folken.
"How has your search for the girl from the mystic moon been going?" Folken asked.
Dilandau's eyes narrowed to slits.
"What about it?" He hissed throw gritted teeth.
"I have noticed that you seem to act out of character when ever she is mentioned." Folken said.
"And what dose that mean." Dilandau hissed eyes narrowing even more.
"If you can not control your feelings towards her you will be given a new assignment and the hunt for the dragon will go to someone more qualified and of better mind than you. Now go I have work to do!" Folken looked back down to the paper that he had been previously reading.
Dilandau was so pissed off he was about to chop off Folken's head but then he remembered what he had said about him being removed from hunting the dragon if he didn't control himself. Spinning around on one foot he stomped out the door and slammed it so hard that one of the hinges broke off. Then once Dilandau made it down the hall the door completely fell off the hinges when he slammed another door.

After Dilandau had done training till the point that he had nearly fainted he sat on a bench and watched on as his dragonslayer's train. Normally they would have asked if everything was all right but because of what happened that morning they left him alone.
Bursting throw that door Gatti one of Dilandau's more favorite dragonslayer's came in and bowed before him then rose. In his hand he clutched a scroll.
"Urgent message from one of the generals." Gatti said as he unrolled the scroll. "It say's Lord Dilandau you are needed at the borders of Fraid to capture the dragon and the girl from the mystic moon. If you can not capture them kill the dragon but leave the girl. We will need her in our plans."
"Perfect." Dilandau said. "Get ready for battle!" He cried out to his dragonslayer's. 'Hitomi' he thought 'I will have you'
