The sorrows from within.
Hope started to back away from the unknown person, but before she could get to far some one from behind hit her in the back of the head. Before Hope lost consciousness she heard the boy speak:
" Damn women, so weak, When we get back take her to the medical bay and get these wounds checked out" The mysterious silver haired boy commanded ( A/n: We all know who it is)
"Yes Lord Dilandau" A few voices said in unison.
Hope thought to herself ' so his name is Dilandau, well we'll just see how weak I am' and that's when she blacked out.
Chapter 2: Days with no emotion.
Hope woke up on top of a metal table, with bright lamps beaming down on her. Her eyes burned like a dry piece of wood on a warm summers day at the brightness of the light. She closed her eyes until the burning sensation faded away. Her eyes adjusted and she took a look at her surroundings. It looked like a medical hall or a operating room. Her eyes traced the room like a hawk looking for prey. The crimson orbs came across a boy with silver hair and a man with short blueish hair and a small tear tattoo under his left eye. She gazed at them for awhile since they didn't take any notice of her waking. Her mind started to think on what there looks explained their personality.
The Boy with silver hair she recognized was Dilandau. He was wearing the same type of armor he was when she seen him in the rain. It was black leather on the outside and lined by red fabric. Dilandau's outer appearance spoke to Hope like a star, its silent but it says the most. Hope collected what she thought he was like, she thought that he wasn't the nicest person to be around, and he might be more of a commanding person than a follower.
The man however was more difficult to figure out by his appearance. She first looked at his face, parts of his face was in the shadows. She looked at his eyes, they held sorrow that most people wouldn't understand. Then Hope took in the rest of his appearance, he wore a long black cloak that covered most of his body. Hope took this as a sign that he didn't reveal things to easily.
Hope tried to sit up but her body screamed with pain. She didn't give up though, after she pushed her body to a upright position she let out a breath of woe. Dilandau and the man which Hope didn't know turned and seen Hope sitting up. Dilandau looked at her with interest, he had never seen a woman have such strength to get up with the wounds she had. The Man approached Hope and introduced himself.
" I see your up, we weren't expecting you for another day or so. My name is Folken and this is Dilandau Albato" Folken motioned towards Dilandau.
" Where am I?" Hope asked looking around the room again.
" You are on a floating fortress run by the Zibach empire" Folken answered her although he knew she wouldn't know what he was talking about.
"What is a floating fortress and what is Zibach?" Hope asked looking confused but started to tense up since she didn't know where she was.
" A floating fortress is a form of transport and a home for Zibach soldiers, and Zibach is a empire working at saving Gaea's countries." Folken said trying to gain some sort of trust between them.
" Gaea.., where is that?" Hope asked examining her bandaged arms.
" Your from the mystic moon, and we brought you to our planet called Gaea. It is quite similar to your planet just some differences" Folken explained, but knew it would take more to make her understand.
Hope wasn't understanding anything that Folken was saying and she wasn't going to trust him until she feels she can. She wondered why Dilandau brought her to this place, she just couldn't piece it together. But she couldn't piece any of this together. " Why did you bring me here?" Hope wanted to know why it was her they brought.
" Because we believe you can help Zibach in battle" Folken answered while Dilandau leaned against the wall in the shadows watching the woman they captured.
" Why I don't know how to fight, I don't have any skills in thinking up strategies?" Hope asked not knowing what they were thinking.
" We can teach you, its not what your skills are, its just that we think you may be the key to a mighty power, and it would prove useful to us. " Folken stated.
" And why would I help you, I don't know if your telling the truth, and I don't know if the causes are of any importance to me" Hope held her head high.
Dilandau finally interfered. " Because you would rot in the dungeon if you don't" Dilandau stared into her eyes, not blinking. Hope didn't know who Dilandau really was but she wasn't going to be pushed around by the likes of him. She has gone through enough and didn't want to deal with another person trying to intimidate her. The stared at each other until Dilandau got fed up with the stubborn girl before him so he left.
Folken watched Dilandau leave and then returned his gaze to the woman on the table. But she was no longer there, she had gotten up and walked over to a near by window. Folken slowly walked over to Hope and stood by her side. She was starring into the night air at the brightly lit sky by two moons. She gasped as she recognized the large moon as her home planet, and then knew Folken was telling the truth.
" The skys here are beautiful this time of year" Folken commented.
" They are but I take no notice of the skies" Hope retorted.
" And why is that?" Folken asked.
" I take no notice of anything" Hope responded coldly.
" Will you join Zibach, and take countries under our empire?" Folken asked, hoping that she would get what he meant.
But Hope new something wasn't right with the man that was standing beside her, she felt a bad spirit around him. " And what do you mean by that?" Hope asked.
" To help them, they are in dire need for assistance" Folken tried to convince her. " So will you help us?" He asked.
"I have a few questions first before I decide my fate" Hope said mono tone.
" Well just ask" Folken uttered.
" First, if I was to join you how would I be treated?" Hope asked keeping her questions fresh in her mind.
" You would get treated as any other soldier would" Folken said truthfully.
" Ok, and who would be my commander?" She asked knowing that mostly it would be Dilandau.
" Only Dilandau has command over the dragonslayers, but Im not sure if you would be part of the dragonslayers. So more or less you would be under the command of Dilandau." Folken said gazing off into the black sky.
" And one more question, if you were helping the countries, why would you need so many soldiers?" Hope asked, seeing Folken tense up was the sign to her that she had hit something and he was lying to her. And that decided her fate.
Folken's voice was stuck in his throat. He didn't expect her to be this perceptive on what he was planning. He was also taken back on how smart she was, but was disturbed by her first comment about not noticing anything. He finally found his voice and started to talk again but he was shack which made his voice crack. " We have soldiers because rivaling countries have battles and we need to be prepared." Folken said worrying that she didn't buy his act.
" Ok" Was her only reply
" So will you join us?" Folken asked
" Im sorry Folken but I can't join you, your responses didn't seem true to me," She said " And I do not feel that I would be on the right side" Hope said turning around back into the room.
" Im sorry you feel that way" Folken said and turn towards her, he took a needle out containing swirling blue liquid. He jabbed it into her neck and she instantly fell limp in his arms. He called for one of the dragonslayers to take her down to the dungeon. It was Dallet who came to collect there prisoner, he picked her up and carried her to her cell. When he got to the dungeon he laid her down on the so called 'bed' and looked at her for a moment. He thought she was remarkably beautiful for being in the Zibach floating fortress. While Dallet was drooling over the unconscious woman he didn't hear footsteps coming towards the dungeon. He heard a hoarse clearing of someone's throat and turned around. When Dallet seen this person he instantly fell onto one knee.
" Lord Dilandau" Was all he said before he got a swift punch across the face.
" What are you doing? Your suppost to be in training, but your down here drooling over some woman" Dilandau raised his voice.
" Please forgive me Lord Dilandau" Dallet said
" Just get out of my sight" Dilandau yelled.
" Yes Lord Dilandau" Dallet bowed respectfully and left. Dilandau rolled his eyes at his soldiers weakness to a pretty face. Dilandau moved his gaze over to the woman, but what he didn't know was that she wasn't unconscious she just didn't feel like dealing with him right now. He had to admit she was beautiful, and just as stubborn as he was. Folken told him that she shouldn't wake up until 4 days pass. So after Dilandau made sure no one was around he opened the cell. Hope was panicking, she didn't know what to do, so she decided to play unconscious until the right moment cause she wanted to prove to him she wasn't as weak as he thought she was.
Dilandau walked over to the silver haired woman and just looked at her for a moment, taking in her apperance. Then he sat down beside her and removed a strand oh hair from her face. Hope wasn't sure when she was going to make her seen of strength, so she laid still. While Dilandau stared at her, hope was thinking on the perfect approach to the situation. The all of a sudden Dilandau whispered something.
" I wish I could see your eyes, I didn't really get a chance to before" He was showing emotion, and he was mentally kicking himself because he was the most feared general in Gaea, but he was showing weakness to this girl.
" Would you care to see them?" Hope whispered back.
Dilandau was startled by the small whisper, she wasn't supposed to wake up for 4 days, but she has woken up in a matter of minutes. The room fell silent and hope kept her eyes shut for not knowing what Dilandau would do. But all she heard was the door opening and shutting again.
" I guess Im not as weak as he thinks" Hope smiled and let herself drift into a light sleep for she suspected that she would be visited by a unwanted guest.
