Escaflowne #4
Mr. Folken
Disclaimer: I don't own Escaflowne. If I would, Dilandau and Folken would be with me every night.
Thank you all for reading this far! This is chapter four! Please enjoy!
Sorry for any spelling errors!
The ship rose up high in the sky and she leaned over the railing.
"Don't fall off, Lina." Said Miguel.
Miguel seemed nice enough and she turned to him, "Oh, I won't."
Miguel smiled and Lina spun around. There were the machines, the guymelifs. One was red and in the front.
"Miguel." A voice said from it.
"Yes, Lord Dilandau?" asked Miguel.
Dilandau paused briefly, "If anything happens to her, I'll use your head as a doorstop."
Miguel paled and stuttered yes.
"Be careful, Lina." Dilandau said and the group sped upwards.
Perhaps he does care for me more than I thought.
Miguel was looking at her oddly, "What did I do wrong?" she muttered.
"Nothing, Lina. I've just.it doesn't matter."
Miguel looked out to Earth.
"No, what?"
"I've never heard Lord Dilandau actually care what happens to someone." He finally stated.
Lina looked smugly off into the distance.
The ship landed in port on the Vione.
"Lord Dilandau and Lord Folken are waiting for Lady Lina in the meeting room." Said another boy.
"Thanks, Dalet." Miguel said to him and turned to Lina.
"Follow me." He said.
Lina felt very out of place. Miguel lead her down a black hallway and opened a metal door.
"Here you go, Lina." And he left.
Lina brushed her hands through her hair and stepped, shaking, forward. She stopped.
That song.
Someone was whistling that song again. She stepped forward and it was still dark. Lina tried to calm down her shaking hands. She stepped in the meeting room to see Dilandau and a cloaked figure.
"If you hum that song again, I'm going to burn you." Dilandau said.
"Now, Dilandau, is that how we speak in front of Miss Lina?" said the man, who came out of the shadows.
It was the man, Folken. Dilandau stood up also.
"Lina, you got here in one piece?"
"Yes." Lina bowed quickly.
Folken chuckled, "No need for all that."
He held out his hand. Lina looked at it to see it was fake.
"Cool." she muttered.
Lina reached out and shook it.
"It's nice to finally meet you, Lina."
Lina looked Folken up and down. His stern face didn't look one of evilness, since she thought he was evil. That was what he had told her, in her dream, after all.
Is Dilandau evil, too?
Lina had a sinking feeling he was, but she made up her mind.
I'll save him.him and Folken!
"Dilandau told me you are from the Mystic Moon."
"Yes, I am." Lina whispered.
He glanced at his robot arm and slid in back in his cape, "Well, just what are we going to do with you?"
Lina looked down at the floor, and shuffled her feet.
"I don't think it would be wise to just kick her out, Folken. She doesn't know anything about Gaea."
"I suppose you are right. We'll have a room for you, Lina, and until we find a way to get you back home, you can stay here."
"Oh, thank you so much." She nodded her head, and Folken turned to Dilandau.
"She can have the room next to yours."
Dilandau nodded.
"Miguel informed me there was a trap on Fanelia."
"Yes. Van had set dragons off for us."
Folken closed his eyes, "Very well then. We'll have to hunt him down ourselves."
"I have a feeling he fled to Austria again. This time Freid."
"We'll have to get there before him, if we wish to get the power."
Dilandau nodded and turned back to Lina who opened her mouth to speak.
"Mr. Folken.sir," she whispered and he turned to her, "Why are you going after your brother?"
Folken looked at Dilandau, "I didn't tell her, Folken." He said.
Folken turned back to Lina, "How did you know that?" he asked her.
Lina shuffled her feet, "I.I."
"It's OK, you don't have to tell me. But I trust you got it from your yourself?" Lina nodded, feeling stupid.
"Dilandau, take her to her room."
Dilandau walked next to Lina, "But Mr. Folken, you never did answer my question!"
Folken turned his back on her, "You wouldn't understand, Miss."
Dilandau pulled her out of the room, "He isn't mad at me, is he?" Lina asked Dilandau.
Dilandau shrugged, "I don't know. No one knows when it comes to Folken."
Lina glanced behind her, and wondered about the man trying to kill his own brother.
"I have to agree with him on the death of his snotty brother." Dilandau said and he began to stroke the cheek with the scar.
Lina just stared at his absent minded ways. He stopped quickly.
"Here. If you need anything, don't ask me."
"Lovely." Lina commented, glaring at Dilandau.
She walked in the room. It was dark and sad.
"Doesn't remind you of home?" Dilandau asked.
"Not at all."
"Nothing will here." He whispered and left.
Lina stepped farther in her room and saw a window. She plumped down on the seat next to it, since it was a bay window. It was raining. The rain fell on the glass and slid downwards where it fell over a vally.
That vally.it's where I first saw.Dilandau.
Lina put her forehead against the glass, letting it cool down her head. She glanced up to see Earth glowing down at her, the moon also high in the sky. She looked down at her feet, wiping a tear. She would be brave. She would have too. Lina wouldn't be some little brat who cried all the time. She would find the good in Gaea.in Dilandau.in Folken and everyone else she was sent here to help. She was sent here for a reason. She knew it. At that instant, she heard her door open and Lina sat up. It was Folken.
"Would you like me to leave?" he asked.
"No.no, not at all." Lina said, bowing quickly and sitting back down.
Folken sat next to her and his eyes looked at her. Lina looked at the floor. "Do you know why you were sent here?"
"No, Mr. Folken."
"Did you know you where going to come here?" he asked her.
"Yes.I did. One day, I would arrive here." Lina whispered.
"This planet isn't like your own-"
"I know." Lina cut him quickly, the sound of his voice made her shiver.
Folken went silent.
"Mr. Folken, I didn't offend you with what I said in the meeting room, did I?"
"How could you? It was a simple question.but not a simple answer."
"I'm sorry."
"I'll tell you why.if you tell me how you knew?"
Lina took a deep breath, "You'll think I'm crazy."
"No, I think Dilandau is crazy. Not you."
Lina rubbed her eyes, "Are you sure you want to know?"
"Yes, of course."
"Ok." and she began her story.
"And that is how I got here.crazy, isn't it?" she muttered.
Folken looked at her, "Not at all. In fact.I think someone else from your planet is here also."
"It's Hitomi? Isn't it?"
"You know her?"
"Not.really. She went to my school."
Folken nodded his head, "She with Van."
"Yeah."
"Van is my brother. We were born in Fanelia."
"Fanelia? But that place is gone-"
"Because of me. To become king, I had to slay a dragon. When I was trying too, my arm was bitten off by it," Folken held out his fake arm, "I met a man called Dornkirk and I was taken under his wing. What the Zaichbach Empire seeks is the power of Atlantis.to control fate. And we need Escaflowne for that."
"Escaflowne.you mean that guymelif?"
"Yes. Escaflowne has a sword inside of it, the sword of Atlantis, which can awaken the power to control fate."
"But why? Why would you want to control fate? Why does Dilandau?"
"Dilandau is merely a toy for Zaibach. They ran so many expermiments on him that they gave him a lead job out of pity, knowing he'll die quickly."
"Die?" Lina cried.
"Yes. They know Dilandau will die."
All of a sudden, Lina was in the middle of a battlefield. The battlefield smelt like blood. There was the giant, Escaflowne. He was battling Dilandau. All of a sudden, Escaflowne's sword went through Dilandau and his guymelif caved, falling to the ground. Around him lay the dead of the Dragonslayers, which their names came to her suddenly. Guimel.Chesta.Dalet.Miguel.Gatti.All dead.as was Dilandau.all gone.
Lina opened her eyes to Folken looking strangly at her. At once, a guard burst in.
"We've found Escaflowne. Dilandau is going down to fight it now."
Folken nodded but Lina leapt up, "Where is he now?"
"The throne room.getting ready to battle, Miss."
"He can't!" she cried.
Her feet started moving and she ran down the hallway, her body knowing where the throne room was.
Dilandau.you can't.you can't fight!
The End
Ok, so it's a cliffhanger! Mwhahaha! Review if you want me to post Chapter 5 up!
Thank you for reading!
