"Come on I bet you cant catch me!" giggled a little girl with short silver hair that came just above her shoulders.
"I'll get you!" laughed the little boy with short silver hair as he chanced after the girl. The two little 8 year olds ran around the meadow through the tall grass.
"Hey wait up!" yelled a boy with brown hair behind them.
"Come on hurry up I want to see if its still there!" Yelled the sliver haired boy. The three kids ran into the forest laughing and jumping over logs as they went deeper and deeper into the forest. Then they soon came upon a broken gymelef that looked like it had been there for a while.
"Lets see if it works still" the first little boy said running up to the melef with his silver hair blowing in front of his face.
"I don't think you should... what if the pilot comes back?" the little girl said looking around.
"Oh I don't think the pilot will come back this thing looks to broken to be fixed" said the brown haired boy as he followed behind the first boy.
"Yeah anyways I'm only going to look to see what's inside" the first boy climbed up to the hatch of the melef.
"I think you should get down.what if Father and Mother come looking for us and see us here? Remember Father said to stay away from this kind of stuff" the little girl walked closer to the melef and stood by the other boy.
"Ok fine I will get down. I can't figure out how to open the stupid thing anyways" the first boy called back down and kicked the hatch and turned to go. Then there was a crunching noise and the sound of releasing steam the hatch opened.
"Hey it opened!" cried the second boy happily. The first boy spun around and looked inside of the melef.
"Hey this is sooo cool" he smiled and jumped inside the melef.
"Come out of there your going to get hurt!" yelled the girl worriedly.
"Wow neat. this is cool" the boy's head popped out from the melef.
"What did you find? Let me see! Come on let me see" called up the second boy.
"I'm a coming I'm a coming hold on I will show you" the boy climbed out of the melef and sat on the edge of the hatch. In his hands he held a dagger and a cloth bag with something inside of it.
"Cool what's in the bag?" called up the other boy.
" I don't know yet." the first boy layed down the dagger and went to open the bag.
"Hey that's not ours we shouldn't open it you should just put it back" called the girl. The first boy sighed
"Your no fun." he folded him arms and pouted.
"HEY YOU KIDS GET AWAY FROM MY MELEF!" the kids turned to see a soldier standing a few feet away from them.
"Uh oh ." the second boy whispered as the man walked up to them. The first boy was still sitting on the melef with the bag in his hands and the dagger.
"Hey you damn kids give my stuff back" yelled the man angrily and pulled out his sword and ran up to the kids. The first boy took the stuff and jumped off the melef and pointed out the dagger and stood in front of the other two kids.
"Get back you," the little boy pointed the dagger at the soldier. The soldier laughed
"What could you do to me boy?" he scoffed. The first boy glared and growled and charged at then man and cut the soldiers hand and made the soldier drop his sword.
"Grrr. ow you stupid boy I will make you pay for that!" the soldier grabbed the first boy by the collar and held him in the air.
"Let him go!" the little girl ran up and kicked the soldier in the knee and made the man drop the first boy. All three of the kids ran towards the meadow to try and get away from the soldier but the soldier followed them. The first boy tripped and fell to the ground
"AH! Ow." the boy turned and saw his foot was stuck in a hole and he couldn't get his foot out. He turned and saw the soldier coming up behind him
"HELP ME!!" the silver haired boy yelled but then a shadow cased over him and everything went dark.
~*~*~*~
Dilandau groggily opened his eyes and looked around. He was back in the room he was in earlier. Dilandau groaned and held his head and sat up.
"No no you better stay laying down you still look sick." It was Akuri sitting at the edge of his bed.
"I'm fine" Dilandau grumbled and stayed sitting up.
"Ah no. back in bed you go" Akuri pushed him in the chest back down to the bed. And put her hand on his forehead then she shook her head and put a cold wet cloth on his forehead.
"You still have a high fever" she sighed and shook her head. Dilandau grumbled and groaned
"What happened? How did I get back up here?" Dilandau asked groggily.
"Mahou and I and with some help pulled you up upstairs. You may look light but you are sure heavy" she smiled.
"Others?" He asked just then another girl walked in
"Akuri I brought up the new bandages and herbs you asked for" Smiled the girl. She brushed a lock of blonde hair out of her face to reveal her sparkling blue eyes.
"Thanks Theo just bring them over here" Akuri smiled as the girl walked across the room and handed her the bandages and flask.
"How is the patient?" Theo smiled down at the dazed Dilandau.
"His Fever is getting really high. I am going to go downstairs to get some ice can you watch him" Akuri got up and headed for the door.
"Sure I'll watch him" Theo smiled and sat down on the bedside. Dilandau just layed there he felt to dizzy and warm to say anything. Theo took the cloth off his forehead and put her hand on his forehead. She shook her head and took her hand off his face then held up her small hand.
"How many Fingers am I holding up" she stretched out her fingers. Dilandau groggily looked at her finger and what started as two fingers soon blurred into four then into six.
"Umm.. six fingers?" he said tiredly. Theo frowned and put her hand back down then stood up and opened a window to let the cool mid afternoon air blow in. Akuri walked back into the room with ice wrapped in a cloth.
"Is he any better?" Akuri asked as she walked up to Theo who was standing by Dilandaus bed.
"No he is worse I put up two fingers and he saw six." Theo sighed. Dilandau just layed there dizzily not talking just taking in everything they were saying. He closed his eyes because it was the only way he could make the ceiling stop spinning. Dilandau then felt something cold on his forehead he sighed feeling a bit better but he couldn't help but fall back asleep.
*~*~*~*~*
A shadow cast itself over the small silver haired boy who layed sprawled on the ground trying to pull himself up to run.
"You're not going anywhere you runt" the solider grabbed the small eight year old and held him up to the mans height.
"Let me go!" the shorthaired boy yelled and kicked his legs.
"Your not going anywhere kid. you got spunk. We could use a kid like you" The man smirked. Then a rock came flying past the kid and hit the solider in the side of the head.
"GOD DAMN!" the man yelled and dropped the boy to the ground. The shorthaired boy got up quickly and ran off towards his house and where the two other children. Behind then they could hear the solider running after them so the kids kept running. They reached the field in which their house stood and ran towards it. A man was standing with a shovel and was turning dirt.
"DAD DAD!!" the three kids yelled at the father who stopped and looked up.
"Children what is going on?" he asked as the three kids ran up to him and hid behind him. Just then the man walked into the clearing.
"Sir can I see those kids for moment" the man growled angrily.
"What do you want with my Children?" the father stood in front of his children protectively.
"I want to take a look at the oldest one the one with the short silver hair." The man pointed at the kid.
"What do you want with him?" Father spoke warningly and stood in fount of the kids still.
"The young boy shows a lot of spunk and would make a good trainee for my troop I am going to create its for Zaibach." the man grinned.
"No I have heard what you do to young children there. you cannot have my boy" Father said sternly.
"The boy has great potential he could hit me and disarm me and I am ten times the size of him he could be useful with our new. discoveries" He smirked somewhat evilly.
"Never. get off my property now. you will never have my son now good day to you" father turned to the kids and nudged them to get into the house.
"You may say we will never get the boy but there will be a time where you wont be able to protect him. you cant watch him all the time." the man smirked evilly. Father stopped and turned back around and glared at the man.
"Is that a threat Sir?" Father growled warningly.
"Its just a warning. that's all. cause sooner or later he will be ours." and with that the man left. The father walked into the house where the children were standing at the doorway.
"Father . what's wrong? What's going on?" asked the boy with the short sliver hair.
"Nothing. just go upstairs and play. don't go outside for the rest of the day ok" the kids where told and they all nodded and ran upstairs.
~*~*~*~
The clouds up in the sky opened up and let the rain slowly fall from the sky and sprayed all over the vast landscapes of Gaea. In the large clearing of a vast meadow one of the numerous houses stood in the far corner of the small village was quieter then the others where people came in and out. And In this house a most unlikely person was staying inside. Dilandau lay in bed staring up at the roof blankly not moving at all just laying there listening to the rain fall. His fever had finally gone down but he was still not able to get out of bed. His leg was still broken and his head was still hurt but the throbbing pain it gave off had finally dwindled down to a dulling pain of drilling. He sighed as his eyes wandered towards the closed window. He watched the water droplets slide silently down the window like tears then he saw them fall off the window and out of sight. He then closed his eyes as sighed sadly lay there alone. After a few moments the door slowly creaked open and Dilandau could hear the footsteps of someone walking into the room. Dilandau didn't open his eyes to see who it was, why should he care anyways? He didn't have anything to do with these people and as soon as he was well enough he was going to make his way back to Zaibach. Dilandau was in no mood to talk to these people so he made it look as if he was asleep. The person who entered still walked closer to the bed.
" I know you are not sleeping boy you can't fool me." It was the old man.
"What do you want?" Dilandau muttered and opened one eye and looked at him lazily. Rylan sighed as pulled up a chair and sat beside the bed. Dilandau muttered something under his breath and lay down looking at Rylan.
"I came to see if you were any better. and talk to you about something" Rylan sighed again and looked at him.
"Why would you want to talk to me?" Dilandau questioned.
"There are many things that I must talk to you about. there are things I must tell you but not all now." Rylan looked at him.
"What can you tell me that's so important?" he scoffed and tiredly sat up in bed leaning his back against the wall.
"Well first off I know what's causing you to pass out all of a sudden." Rylan told him.
"Like you would know. not even Lord Folken knows what they really are." Dilandau crossed his arms.
"Oh really? What if I could tell you that I could take you to someone that could tell you what it was" Rylan smiled. Dilandau sat in straight and gave him a sideways glance.
"What do you mean?" Dilandau asked.
"Well there is an women here she can see into peoples minds and see what they can see . like a fortune teller. she can help you." Rylan explained.
"Hmm. how do I know you are not just going to lock me up or something to that effect?" Dilandau squinted untrustingly.
"Don't you trust anyone?" Rylan sighed.
" Why should I trust you of all people I don't even know you." Dilandau muttered darkly.
"Fine. if you don't want my help then figure it out yourself.. If you want to know more about this I will be downstairs" with that Rylan got up and walked out of the room. Dilandau lay back in bed and looked up at the roof and started thinking on what to do.
' Why would he help me? He must have something else planned. but what?' Dilandau sighed. ' I might as well go. maybe he is telling the truth. but what if he isn't? I will just have to play this one out' Dilandau sat up. He carefully pulled his bad leg to the side of his bed and reached for his crutches and slowly got up. Dilandau winced and grumbled then shifted his weight more onto his good leg. He walked slowly out of his room and down the stairs into the kitchen to see Rylan sitting at the table fixing something. Dilandau stood at the edge of the stairway looking sternly over at Rylan. Rylan could probably feel the stare because he looked up and over at Dilandau.
"So you decided to give this try?" Rylan said putting down his things. Dilandau stood at the stairwell still not moving except for he gave a slight nod.
"Well then lets go boy" Rylan got up and headed to the door.
"You don't expect me to walk out there like this? People will recognize me fool." Dilandau snapped coldly.
"Well you will be less noticed if you don't wear a cloak. plus not may people around here have seen you. but they know your name so don't worry." Rylan walked out the door. Dilandau sighed and fallowed slowly behind Rylan. As they walked outside Dilandau shielded his eye from the bright sun and stopped for a minuet for his eyes to adjust.
"Not used to the light I see?" Rylan smirked. Dilandau glared darkly and put his hand down.
"I just haven't been out of your damn house for the longest time. that's all" Dilandau grumbled. Daitan came running up to them smiling
"Hey Daddy!" Daitan smiled. Dilandau noticed the boy had a small old wooden sword in his hand and for some reason he felt as if he had see one just like it or that exact one before.
"Hello Daitan." Rylan smiled, Dilandau just stood there looking at the sword trying to figure out where he had seen one like it before.
"Where are you guys going?" Daitan asked and looked at them.
"We are going to see Nona. stay here with your brother and sister tell them we will be back later." Rylan patted his son on the head and walked towards one of the houses and Dilandau followed. They walked up to an old house and Rylan walked up to the door and knocked and waited. Dilandau stood a good ways behind Rylan and looked around untrustingly just waiting for someone to jump out and attack him. The door of the house slowly creaked open and an old woman looked out at him.
"Rylan it's you. how nice to see you. who is the boy?" she looked at Dilandau.
"He's the boy I told you about earlier . he still doesn't trust me but he is here never the less." Rylan told the old women.
"Fine. send him in" the women disappeared from the doorway.
"Come on boy go in she is waiting." Rylan motioned for him to go in. Dilandau walked up and into the house slowly. Once Dilandau got into the dark house the door closed behind him loudly causing Dilandau to turn around and look at the door.
"Come in here boy." the old women called from the other room where there was a soft glow from candle light. Dilandau slowly and carefully walked into the room being on guard the whole time. He walked in and the room was full of candles and plants and there was one table in the middle of the room with a long tablecloth on it and in the far middle of the table was a deck of tarot cards and a crystal ball. The old woman was sitting in the far chair waiting for him.
"Sit down Dilandau." the women said.
"How did you know my name? I never told you what it was." he questioned as he sat down and leaned his crutches against the wall. The old women smirked and picked up her cards and shuffled them slowly.
"I know more about you then you know yourself. now lets get started." She put some cards on the table and she looked at them. Dilandau looked at them and had no clue what they meant.
"From what the cards tell me. you are having dreams about someone's past." she said slowly.
"Someone's past? What do you mean they are someone else's past?" Dilandau asked.
"No. these visions that you see are from your own past Dilandau." She looked up at him and grinned.
"WHAT!! That's bullshit! I have no family I have always been part of Zaibach! There was nothing before and there will be nothing after but Zaibach!" Dilandau stood up and grabbed his crutches and headed for the door.
"Haven't you ever thought of where you came from? Your not just from Zaibach you have a real family" The women spoke in a eerie tone. Dilandau paused looking at the old women.
"I am leaving. this is stupid" he grumbled with his back to her.
" You cannot leave once it is started." the old women warned him.
"Whatever" Dilandau headed towards the door.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you boy. or you will regret it. your visions will get worse till you have seen the last of them." The women called as he walked out of the house and back onto the porch. Rylan was sitting on the porch step waiting for him to come out.
"So you're done?" He asked.
"Yes." Dilandau stepped off the porch.
"What did you find out?" he stood up and looked at him.
"I didn't learn anything. the women was no help." he started to walk towards the house. He heard the door open again
"Rylan give the boy these. it will heal his leg in no time but his head will have to heal on its own." the old women passed Rylan a bag of something and closed her door.
"Thank you." Rylan smiled and walked up to Dilandau "lets go. before you are noticed" He walked ahead. Dilandau grumbled and followed behind him.
****
Back at the house Dilandau walked back up to his room and sat down and lay down on the bed letting his legs hang of the edge of the bed. He sighed and looked up at the roof thinking. 'What if that old lady was right? Maybe I am seeing my past. but that cant be I never had a life before Zaibach. or did I' he thought. Dilandau closed his eyes and sighed, his head hurt from everything. He heard the door open slowly and someone walked in. Dilandau sighed tiredly
"Doesn't anyone here get a times peace alone?" he groaned and sat up. It was Akuri she walked into the room and sat down beside him with a glass of water and a bag with an unknown content.
" Take one of these they will heal your leg right away" Akuri took out a small light purple pill. Dilandau looked at it and made a face of disgust.
"I am not eating that whatever it is," He told her.
"Well you have to or your leg will take longer to heal" she showed him the pill again. Dilandau sighed and took the pill from her hand and swallowed it.
"Good. not all we have to do is wait a few hours and it should be fine." she got up and left. Dilandau grumbled and decided to lie back down and think.

"Come on I bet you cant catch me!" giggled a little girl with short silver hair that came just above her shoulders.
"I'll get you!" laughed the little boy with short silver hair as he chanced after the girl. The two little 8 year olds ran around the meadow through the tall grass.

"I don't think you should... what if the pilot comes back?" the little girl said looking around.
"Oh I don't think the pilot will come back this thing looks to broken to be fixed" said the brown haired boy as he followed behind the first boy.
"Yeah anyways I'm only going to look to see what's inside" the first boy climbed up to the hatch of the melef.
"I think you should get down.what if Father and Mother come looking for us and see us here? Remember Father said to stay away from this kind of stuff" the little girl walked closer to the melef and stood by the other boy.
"Ok fine I will get down. I can't figure out how to open the stupid thing anyways" the first boy called back down and kicked the hatch and turned to go. Then there was a crunching noise and the sound of releasing steam the hatch opened.
"Hey it opened!" cried the second boy happily. The first boy spun around and looked inside of the melef.
"Hey this is sooo cool" he smiled and jumped inside the melef.
"Come out of there your going to get hurt!" yelled the girl worriedly.
"Wow neat. this is cool" the boy's head popped out from the melef.
"What did you find? Let me see! Come on let me see" called up the second boy.
"I'm a coming I'm a coming hold on I will show you" the boy climbed out of the melef and sat on the edge of the hatch. In his hands he held a dagger and a cloth bag with something inside of it.
"Cool what's in the bag?" called up the other boy.
" I don't know yet." the first boy layed down the dagger and went to open the bag.
"Hey that's not ours we shouldn't open it you should just put it back" called the girl. The first boy sighed
"Your no fun." he folded him arms and pouted.
"HEY YOU KIDS GET AWAY FROM MY MELEF!" the kids turned to see a soldier standing a few feet away from them.
"Uh oh ." the second boy whispered as the man walked up to them. The first boy was still sitting on the melef with the bag in his hands and the dagger.
"Hey you damn kids give my stuff back" yelled the man angrily and pulled out his sword and ran up to the kids. The first boy took the stuff and jumped off the melef and pointed out the dagger and stood in front of the other two kids.
"Get back you," the little boy pointed the dagger at the soldier. The soldier laughed
"What could you do to me boy?" he scoffed. The first boy glared and growled and charged at then man and cut the soldiers hand and made the soldier drop his sword.
"Grrr. ow you stupid boy I will make you pay for that!" the soldier grabbed the first boy by the collar and held him in the air.
"Let him go!" the little girl ran up and kicked the soldier in the knee and made the man drop the first boy. All three of the kids ran towards the meadow to try and get away from the soldier but the soldier followed them. The first boy tripped and fell to the ground
"AH! Ow." the boy turned and saw his foot was stuck in a hole and he couldn't get his foot out. He turned and saw the soldier coming up behind him
"HELP ME!!" the silver haired boy yelled but then a shadow cased over him and everything went dark.
~*~*~*~
Dilandau groggily opened his eyes and looked around. He was back in the room he was in earlier. Dilandau groaned and held his head and sat up.
"No no you better stay laying down you still look sick." It was Akuri sitting at the edge of his bed.
"I'm fine" Dilandau grumbled and stayed sitting up.
"Ah no. back in bed you go" Akuri pushed him in the chest back down to the bed. And put her hand on his forehead then she shook her head and put a cold wet cloth on his forehead.
"You still have a high fever" she sighed and shook her head. Dilandau grumbled and groaned
"What happened? How did I get back up here?" Dilandau asked groggily.
"Mahou and I and with some help pulled you up upstairs. You may look light but you are sure heavy" she smiled.
"Others?" He asked just then another girl walked in
"Akuri I brought up the new bandages and herbs you asked for" Smiled the girl. She brushed a lock of blonde hair out of her face to reveal her sparkling blue eyes.
"Thanks Theo just bring them over here" Akuri smiled as the girl walked across the room and handed her the bandages and flask.
"How is the patient?" Theo smiled down at the dazed Dilandau.
"His Fever is getting really high. I am going to go downstairs to get some ice can you watch him" Akuri got up and headed for the door.
"Sure I'll watch him" Theo smiled and sat down on the bedside. Dilandau just layed there he felt to dizzy and warm to say anything. Theo took the cloth off his forehead and put her hand on his forehead. She shook her head and took her hand off his face then held up her small hand.
"How many Fingers am I holding up" she stretched out her fingers. Dilandau groggily looked at her finger and what started as two fingers soon blurred into four then into six.
"Umm.. six fingers?" he said tiredly. Theo frowned and put her hand back down then stood up and opened a window to let the cool mid afternoon air blow in. Akuri walked back into the room with ice wrapped in a cloth.
"Is he any better?" Akuri asked as she walked up to Theo who was standing by Dilandaus bed.
"No he is worse I put up two fingers and he saw six." Theo sighed. Dilandau just layed there dizzily not talking just taking in everything they were saying. He closed his eyes because it was the only way he could make the ceiling stop spinning. Dilandau then felt something cold on his forehead he sighed feeling a bit better but he couldn't help but fall back asleep.

A shadow cast itself over the small silver haired boy who layed sprawled on the ground trying to pull himself up to run.
"You're not going anywhere you runt" the solider grabbed the small eight year old and held him up to the mans height.

"Well you will be less noticed if you don't wear a cloak. plus not may people around here have seen you. but they know your name so don't worry." Rylan walked out the door. Dilandau sighed and fallowed slowly behind Rylan. As they walked outside Dilandau shielded his eye from the bright sun and stopped for a minuet for his eyes to adjust.
"Not used to the light I see?" Rylan smirked. Dilandau glared darkly and put his hand down.
"I just haven't been out of your damn house for the longest time. that's all" Dilandau grumbled. Daitan came running up to them smiling
"Hey Daddy!" Daitan smiled. Dilandau noticed the boy had a small old wooden sword in his hand and for some reason he felt as if he had see one just like it or that exact one before.
"Hello Daitan." Rylan smiled, Dilandau just stood there looking at the sword trying to figure out where he had seen one like it before.
"Where are you guys going?" Daitan asked and looked at them.
"We are going to see Nona. stay here with your brother and sister tell them we will be back later." Rylan patted his son on the head and walked towards one of the houses and Dilandau followed. They walked up to an old house and Rylan walked up to the door and knocked and waited. Dilandau stood a good ways behind Rylan and looked around untrustingly just waiting for someone to jump out and attack him. The door of the house slowly creaked open and an old woman looked out at him.
"Rylan it's you. how nice to see you. who is the boy?" she looked at Dilandau.
"He's the boy I told you about earlier . he still doesn't trust me but he is here never the less." Rylan told the old women.
"Fine. send him in" the women disappeared from the doorway.
"Come on boy go in she is waiting." Rylan motioned for him to go in. Dilandau walked up and into the house slowly. Once Dilandau got into the dark house the door closed behind him loudly causing Dilandau to turn around and look at the door.
"Come in here boy." the old women called from the other room where there was a soft glow from candle light. Dilandau slowly and carefully walked into the room being on guard the whole time. He walked in and the room was full of candles and plants and there was one table in the middle of the room with a long tablecloth on it and in the far middle of the table was a deck of tarot cards and a crystal ball. The old woman was sitting in the far chair waiting for him.
"Sit down Dilandau." the women said.
"How did you know my name? I never told you what it was." he questioned as he sat down and leaned his crutches against the wall. The old women smirked and picked up her cards and shuffled them slowly.
"I know more about you then you know yourself. now lets get started." She put some cards on the table and she looked at them. Dilandau looked at them and had no clue what they meant.
"From what the cards tell me. you are having dreams about someone's past." she said slowly.
"Someone's past? What do you mean they are someone else's past?" Dilandau asked.
"No. these visions that you see are from your own past Dilandau." She looked up at him and grinned.
"WHAT!! That's bullshit! I have no family I have always been part of Zaibach! There was nothing before and there will be nothing after but Zaibach!" Dilandau stood up and grabbed his crutches and headed for the door.
"Haven't you ever thought of where you came from? Your not just from Zaibach you have a real family" The women spoke in a eerie tone. Dilandau paused looking at the old women.
"I am leaving. this is stupid" he grumbled with his back to her.
" You cannot leave once it is started." the old women warned him.
"Whatever" Dilandau headed towards the door.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you boy. or you will regret it. your visions will get worse till you have seen the last of them." The women called as he walked out of the house and back onto the porch. Rylan was sitting on the porch step waiting for him to come out.
"So you're done?" He asked.
"Yes." Dilandau stepped off the porch.
"What did you find out?" he stood up and looked at him.
"I didn't learn anything. the women was no help." he started to walk towards the house. He heard the door open again
"Rylan give the boy these. it will heal his leg in no time but his head will have to heal on its own." the old women passed Rylan a bag of something and closed her door.
"Thank you." Rylan smiled and walked up to Dilandau "lets go. before you are noticed" He walked ahead. Dilandau grumbled and followed behind him.

Back at the house Dilandau walked back up to his room and sat down and lay down on the bed letting his legs hang of the edge of the bed. He sighed and looked up at the roof thinking. 'What if that old lady was right? Maybe I am seeing my past. but that cant be I never had a life before Zaibach. or did I' he thought. Dilandau closed his eyes and sighed, his head hurt from everything. He heard the door open slowly and someone walked in. Dilandau sighed tiredly
"Doesn't anyone here get a times peace alone?" he groaned and sat up. It was Akuri she walked into the room and sat down beside him with a glass of water and a bag with an unknown content.
" Take one of these they will heal your leg right away" Akuri took out a small light purple pill. Dilandau looked at it and made a face of disgust.
"I am not eating that whatever it is," He told her.
"Well you have to or your leg will take longer to heal" she showed him the pill again. Dilandau sighed and took the pill from her hand and swallowed it.
"Good. not all we have to do is wait a few hours and it should be fine." she got up and left. Dilandau grumbled and decided to lie back down and think.
