Chapter Six
Chesta was watching his mother talk to a man. He was a friend of hers. They were talking about the military. His mother seemed to be very interested in it. She wasn't acting disgusted by the fact of what they do but intrigued. What were they talking about.
"Chesta darling please come in here."
"Yes mommy." He said.
"Chesta darling, this is General Harding. He is telling me about the military these days. He said when you become eleven that you can sign up to be a soldier." Chesta couldn't believe his ears. Half of him was terribly excited but the other half was screaming no. "what do you think darling?" She asked.
"I think that is a good idea momma." He said smiling. She smiled at him. She was plump woman but very pretty. She reminded you of one of those rich women with only having a son. Which she was.
After the man had left Chesta's mother turned to him. "Well darling time to brush your hair."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Chesta screamed he ran off toward his room and slammed it shut.
**********
Dallet sat in his bath. His hair had been cut strait. It was now down strait to his shoulders. His brown hair didn't look grey like it had. His father was never seen. He had become a guest in the castle. They had taught him to speak and he learned to write and read. He was quite the chatter box when he came to it. His surrogate mother a maid in the castle took care of him like any other mother did.
"Cynithia, am I handsome like the king." He asked her. She had noticed he had become very vain and hated to get dirty. He actually never went outside unless he was thrown out.
"Only more." She said. She had red hair that was put in a bun. He had never seen her out of it. She was quite short to be a maid. She couldn't reach a lot of things others could. She was always expected to be only in her 16 summers. She was in her mid twenties.
"I agree." He said looking in the hand mirror that was by the tub.
"Come here you vain little merman." She called him that all the time not only because he was vain but he liked taking baths. She took him by the shoulders and messed up his hair. He started to squeal like he was in pain. She then told him to hold his breath and dunked him in the water. She let him come up. She was laughing at him. His hair was all in his face and was soapy. He jumped up forgetting his own decency she started to giggle he then covered himself up and sat back down in the water. Part of the reason was that of it was the cold months and he almost froze his bum off and the fact that he was naked in front of a woman. She laughed at him more almost falling off the bathtub. She had been sitting on the side.
Dallet smirked. He grabbed her around her waist and brought her down in the bubbly water. She started to scream.
"DALLET!!" He grabbed the large towel and ran off.
Cynithia got out of the tub and wrapped her arms around herself. She dared not to go near the open window. She tread softly toward their room and tried to open the door. The little bugger locked it! She started to pound at the door still screaming his name.
******(three years later)
Dilandau and some twenty other boys dreaded their run today. All of them wore more pairs of pants and socks. Some even put on more pairs of underwear. They were all told to dress warm for the snow on the ground. Dilandau loved the cold. It was the only thing that made him warm inside. He never used to think that but now he was ten years old and almost a soldier. When he would be twelve he was formally a man. Then he could train his own men. Zaibach needed men quickly for some reason. The generals had never mentioned to them either.
The snow was cold. It was hill after hill. There were a lot of moans coming from the twenty boys. If a boy fell then he would be taken and put in a carriage in the back and when better and warm he got lashes and was put outside to run again. Dilandau made it a point not to fall. But his stiff legs screamed stop. Though he was almost at the end of the group he didn't get the wind in his face all that much. Gatti had been taller than Dilandau and had longer legs also. So he was up in the middle. The horns sounded, saying that it was time to walk. Everyone was glad. Including the horses.
"I betcha you like this weather albino boy." The names hadn't stopped coming at him. It was a boy named Cleo. He was twice Dilandau's size across and up. He wasn't fat he was just built like barrels.
Dilandau's left eye got smaller than the other (His trade mark). He smiled an evil smile. He faked falling and grabbed up a rock covered with snow. "I do actually. What do you say that whoever hits Gatti up there gets a gold piece when we get back?" Dilandau asked the boy.
"Ok, you go first. I want you to have all the credit if you hit him first." Cleo said. Pity he thought that Dilandau was stupid. If Dilandau had thrown a snowball at Gatti and a guard saw he would get lashes.
Dilandau walked up a little closer. He packed the ball tightly. He aimed. But when he went to throw he turned and pelted Cleo in the face. A big welt had taken mark on his forehead.
Cleo was steming mad. He charged at Dilandau. He pushed Dilandau close to the side of the hill. On the bottom of the hill there was a lake that frozen over. Dilandau and Cleo had drawn a crowd. Cleo had pushed him once more. This time Dilandau slipped down the hill. No body had seen it happen either they were just about to come over when Dilandau disappeared down the hill. Some of the guards blew their horns signaling that running was to start again.
Dilandau couldn't scream. His mouth had filled with snow. His back came connected with a tree. A sickening crack came to his ears. He couldn't move his legs now. They were either paralyzed or frost bit. He moved over. He was hoping that frost bitten then he might get up the hill. He used his arms to help him get up. One of his hands slipped and he fell further down the hill. His cape that he was using had torn off. He fell all the way down to the lake. The ice wasn't thick enough and it started to crack. He tried to scoot himself off the ice. The ice broke free and he fell into the water.
**
Celena watched as they came closer to her.
"We have found a match. He seemed the most strongest and intelligent. Name: Dilandau Albaltou. He was the most eligible of all. Gatti Hesho was also a candidate but he was too soft."
"Now inserting DNA into live subject."
Celena started to scream. She struggled against the needle that had entered her skin. It was so dark. But it got lighter to her eyes.
"Now conjoining DNA strands."
'Conjoining?' Celena thought as she blacked out into the light.
**
Dilandau had managed to get out of the water. His limbs were frozen and broken. He managed to scoot himself toward a tree but collapsed in the snow. He closed his eyes. Instead of seeing perfect darkness, he saw eternal light. Was this death? He wondered to himself.
He no long felt so cold but felt warmer. He saw a girl. She looked about a year younger than him. She was that little girl that had ran into him, and even before that when he had seen her with his mother. His mind went to her. His mother. She would be so upset at his death. But was he really dead, if he wasn't then he would surely die of hypothermia. They couldn't find him in time.
**
Celena saw a boy, he was that boy, the son of that nice woman. They were looking at each other. She didn't know why but she felt like he was a part of her now.
**
Dilandau felt himself die and materialize in front of her. Then she was doing the same.
**
Dilandau awoken in a darkened room. A few men were around him. He felt as if he were to puke. He felt very different. He felt younger. He was naked under two straps and a sheet. He was cold again but not as cold as he was a minuet ago. Where was he a minuet ago. He didn't remember any thing past this time. He didn't even remember his own mother and father.
****
"Albaltou." Said the head trainer.
There was no answer.
"Dilandau Albaltou." He said again.
Still no answer.
"Where is Dilandau?" He asked.
There was no answer. Cleo smiled. The little devil's son had not came back
"I am here." Came a voice.
Dilandau had come in. A sorcerer behind him. He seemed to have to be more deadly looking than before. He gave all the boys a chill that made them look like they had met death themselves.
"He was with us." Said the sorcerer.
****
A sorcerer had went to General Adelphos. "Dilandau is dead. A replacement has been put in his place. It is an experiment subject so please be careful around it. We don't want you to get hurt. Tell his parents that he died. Emperor Dornkirk requests you let Dilandau lead the Dragonslayers. Oh yes and get rid of Gatti Hesho. He might fool with the experiment; the procedure wasn't completely successful so he is still in his fitting in stages. He will have some mental problems but they will pass soon. He is to be kept silent from the world until Dornkirk is ready to start the Dragonslayers next year."
"Lord and Lady Albaltou will not be happy about this."
***
Chandra had been crying. She wasn't in the room for she had ran to her room.
"What do you mean our son is dead and alive?" Said Sebastian
"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"
"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 Sebastian
"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. But his surrogate father was contacted and he will be taken out of the training for reasons that Dornkirk thinks he will interfere with the whole thing. I was not supposed to tell you about the replacement but please go on with your life acting as if he is truly gone." General Adelphos said.
"Ok, I thank you for all this. This means a lot to us. To know that our son still exist somewhere in some girl's brain." Sebastian said slamming the door after the general.
******
If you were waiting for how I was going to make Celena into Dilly then here you go. He didn't die because that boy but the sorcerers changed his fate when mixing his DNA with Celena. See what happens when you trust a old guy to train your only son!!! R/R
