Chapter 3: The Princess and The Emperor
The so called Princess of Daedalus, was playing by the river in the centre of the forest. She was now thirteen, the mysterious child found by the elderly woman. With her, was a beautiful pale blue mermaid. The two were playing with a small ball, throwing it back and forth. Unknown to them, the Dragon Slayers were approaching fast. The Princess laughed as the ball slipped through her fingers as she tried to catch it. She quickly ran after it and grasped it, "Oh look Annabelle, it's soaking wet!" The mermaid, Annabelle, laughed, placing her webbed hand in front of her mouth. By now, the King and Queen were quite confident that Chantelle was a pacifist.
It was now that the sound of the approaching Guymelefs could be heard. Princess Chantelle and Annabelle looked to the sky, as if waiting for something to appear - and it did! First, a large red Alseides landed with a loud thud. The sound of sliding metal could also be heard when the 'Melef stood up straight. The Princess ran over to Annabelle and stood before her, just as the other two Guymelefs appeared. "What's going on, Annabelle?" Asked the Princess, whose tone of voice was shakey.
"Little girl, do you have any idea where you are?" Came the harsh voice of the Emperor, Lord Dilandau. The Princess was too frightened to say anything, she had no idea what that kind of machinary was. She had never seen anything like it. Dilandau clenched his teeth and growled, raising the arm of the Alseides. "Didn't you hear me?! Answer my question before I tear you to shreds!" The Princess gulped and whispered to Annabelle to leave. In fear, the mermaid swiftly swam under the water.
"What are you..?" Was all the Princess said as she approached the machine. From the moment the Dragon Slayers arrived, the Princess was in the shadows, but now she was slowly stepping into the light, and her appearance was somewhat disturbing.
"L-Lord Dilandau.. She.. She.. She looks just like you!!" Yelled William, staring at the girl as if he was hypnotised. It was true, the Princess had silver, shoulder length hair and beautiful magenta eyes. Dilandau growled, truely insulted by what William said. However, they did look awfully alike. Dilandau swiftly commanded his machine and knocked William's over.
"She does not!! She looks nothing like me!!" Furious, Dilandau aimed his flamethrower at the young girl, who was watching what was going on. The large machinary frightened her, and she found herself unable to move or speak. "Now then, little girl, last chance. Who the fuck are you?!" The girl winced, trying to gather the correct words.
"I.. I.. I am from the city of Daedalus, and my name is Chantelle Daedal." She finally said, her tone of voice finally expressing some bravery. She could hear voices, quiet voices. Since she spoke, neither mecha moved. As the breeze drifted by, it attempted to carry the girl's fine and fair hair, as well as the loose cloak she was wearing.
Suddenly, the pressure from the red Alseides's left arm was released, causing air to emit from the many ventilation holes. However, a liquid, yet metallic, claw emerged from the tip of the arm, known as the Crima Claw. Dilandau snorted in annoyance and released the claw. He and the Dragon Slayers decided they should capture the Princess and hold her prisoner for trespassing, or maybe they could find why she looked so much like Dilandau. The girl let out a pathetic scream as the liquid metal shaped around her and hardened. "Alright, Princess-whatever your name is, we're taking you back to the Vione.."
A cruel laugh escaped Dilandau's lips as he shifted the Alseides into flight mode. Immediately, the three Dragon Slayers headed back to the Vione. Dilandau would soon come to know about this girl, once the sorcerors get their hands on her. But is the world prepared for another..?
