Disclaimer: No!!! My dog ate my homework AND the deed to Escaflowne … oO;;;;;;;;
Chapter 4: "Trouble in the Forest"
"Lord Dilandau …" both Dallet and Chesta said in unison as they bowed before Dilandau.
"Slayer Dallet, step forward." Dilandau commanded.
Dallet stepped forward.
"Tell me what you found out about Fanelia's King …"
"Dilandau-sama … while I was spying at the back of the back of the castle I discovered this girl …"
*SMACK*! Dallet pulled a hand up to his red cheek and bowed again.
"I told you to spy on Fanelia's king, not some woman!"
"F-Forgive me Lord Dilandau but she was a suspicious character who I believe might be of use to you."
"Hmm?.." Dilandau mused~ an indication to tell him before he lost interest and slapped him.
"Well, I believe she comes from the mystic moon. She knew all about us and possesses great skill, Lord …"
"Great skill? Why do you say that?" Now Dilandau looked amused …
"Well, you see …" Dallet began.
"QUIT STALLING, SLAYER DALLET!" Dilandau screamed.
"She tricked me from my hiding spot, disarmed me, and tied me up …." he mumbled.
"You're telling me a female tricked, disarmed, and tied up one of my best soldiers?" a grin appeared.
"Yes Sir …" Dallet said.
*SLAP*
"You shall call me Lord Dilandau or Dilandau-sama, is that understood?!" Dilandau glared down on him.
"Yes, Lord Dilandau." he whispered.
"Good … Go to your quarters, Slayer Dallet. You shall not eat the next three meals as punishment for failure on your mission. You are dismissed, Slayer Dallet." Dilandau told him.
Dallet left.
"Step forward, Slayer Chesta."
Chesta stepped forward.
"Chesta, gather Viole, Gatti, Miguel, Guimel, and yourself. Go to the Mess Hall, eat, train for an hour, then get Dallet and meet me the Melef Hanger. We shall go and see about this girl you and Dallet found."
"Yes, Dilandau-sama."
"Oh, and Chesta?"
"Yes, Lord Dilandau?"
"I'd like a full-scale report written and given to me in the Melef Hanger on the girl. Her name and any other gathered about her should be given. Understood?"
"Yes, Dilandau-sama."
"You are dismissed."
Chesta left.

Victoria looked around the clearing one more time. Everything was neatly packed. The fire was out and there was trace that she had been there at all.
"Good." she thought, and started to the castle with her sword and dagger securely on her.
"Mena newru shii. Jika ooh no mah nayga. Hashy neyru keyru. Machi wa sava oona! Only koon ya ori. Newkara soonya ori …" she hummed walking along.
But she was abruptly cut off by a low growl …
"Huh …" she said as two huge, golden eyes blinked at her from inside the darkness.
"Oh Lord," she trembled "a Fanelian Land Dragon …"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Dallet, Miguel, Chesta, Gatti, Viole, and Guimel were all assembled in a line in front of Dilandau in the Melef Hanger.
"Slayers … our mission is to find a suspicious character named Victoria Townley. She was last seen behind the Fanelian Castle. She's around 5`7, has golden eyes, and long lavender hair. Stealth Cloaks on and capture her un-harmed. Take your positions."
"Hai, Dilandau-sama!" all six voices said in unison and climbed into the six blue guymelefs behind the red one.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Victoria un-sheathed her sword. She could not die!!! She had to save Dilandau and the dragon slayers.
"Think back to when Van killed the dragon!" her mind urged her.
"Ok." she breathed … and took a fighting position.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Miguel clicked the intercom on.
"Lord Dilandau, we are currently four miles from the Fanelian Forest."
"Good. Prepare to land." Dilandau told them.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Victoria dodged his tail and another fire ball. She was getting tired but the thought of the dragon slayers kept her going.
"Hwup!" she gulped as she did a huge back flip. She jumped high in the air and held her sword out in front of her and when the dragon looked up *brace yourselves readers* sliced him from neck to stomach. She heard several huge *thunks* but she couldn't be distracted. She walked up to the bloody body and as she pulled the energist out with her dagger heard a sickening sound. She looked at her body and clothes covered in a sticky, green-blue blood.
"Fweh!" she panted, and turned around only to see eerie eyes the color of blood staring at her with an evil grin. As the last of the dragon's blood and body dissolved, Victoria gasped.
"Dilandau Albatou ..." she said.
A/N: Yay!!! Dilly, and the dragon slayers!!! Wahoo!!! The end of chapter four … I know it was short and it was pretty bad but E-mail me or something!!! ~CrimsonFire
