The sorrows from within
~* New chapter*~
~* review from last chapter*~
" Good bye Hope and I wish to you good luck and everything work out on Gaea," Hitomi whispered along the sudden breeze the hit Hope's face softly.
" Wait, No, I can't do this by myself!" Hope screamed into the darkness...
" Your not alone Hope, you have everyone on Gaea to help you, because now I know your purpose. Just remember, only follow your heart." Hitomi voice disappeared into the long distant darkness.
" Please, don't leave me alone, not again..." Hope's words were matched with one sorrowful tear, one filled with so much feeling it could crush the human soul.
~*On with the next chapter*~
Chapter 20: Trapped in your own prision.
As hitomi's voice faded into the darkness, two small tears where slowly shed by the child that trembled in the corners of her mind. Hope couldn't shed any more tears, she wouldn't, she had to prove to the world that she could be strong and handle what ever life throws her way.
" Why am I so weak?" Hope asked herself, knowing the answer but still asking the question, hoping for an answer from some one else. " Why must everyone one I get close to leave me alone in the darkness?" Hope didn't know what was going on, but she didn't care. Her life couldn't get any worse right now, and she wasn't going to let it. Hope had thought about why she cried at all, all it did was get her skin wet, and show that she had a weakness and it killed her to know that. However she had thought over and over and came to the conclusion that she cries more when someone comes into her life rather then some one leaving.
~* With Van*~
Van was pacing back and forth infront of a room with large oak doors. He watched for any movement and listened to the slight clicking noise of his large armoured boots that hit the floor with every coming step.
" Van will you please sit down your making me nervous, Millerna is tending to Hope and im pretty sure she'll be alright, so calm down," Allen spoke in a commanding tone.
Van took this as a sign not to worry to much, but he couldn't help but worry, she was the only working link to Hitomi, and Van knew this. So he took his friends advise and sat down, but just as his head leaned against the wall the large oak doors opened just enough so that the medical scholar could squeeze through.
" So how is she?" Van shot up, and basically stood in Millerna's face.
" First of all sit down and calm your nerves, physically shes fine. The fire didn't hurt her at all, and the fall didn't hurt her either. However its emotionally that she's being affected by, Hope seems to be trapped in a mind box that she has created for herself. I don't think any one can help her out of it, we'll just have to sit and make sure she's all right," Millerna slowly glanced at the dark oak doors, having a small glisten in her gaze.
" All right, do you know how we might be able to speed up her recovery?" Van was being insensitive, and cruel.
" Van, these types of things take time and im not sure any one could help except herself. The only person I know that has been able to enter some one's mind without spiritual guidance was Hitomi." Millerna's voice cracked as she mentioned the name of Geae's foreign hero.
" Alright, well inform me if anything should change her state, im going to check on Dilandau." Van said walking towards the end of the very large corridor.
~* The prisoner*~
As time dragged on the silver haired general had woken from his long, hard slumber. With the darkness disappearing, and the light coming into view, object started to farm and Dilandau could see what his surroundings were. He seen that he was in a dungeon and that there were several guards, but he didn't remember the battle that had occurred only short hours ago. The general's thoughts on the situation was that Dilandau had drank to much and Folken had locked him in the dungeon to cool off.
" Guard, what am I doing in here?" Dilandau spoke in a offensive tone.
The Guard didn't answer, he didn't even flinch as the blood thirsty general spoke to him.
" What the HELL, answer ME!" Dilandau roared.
" What am I suppose to answer to a piece of scum in a cage?" The guard spoke with sarcasm woven throughout his words.
" What did you just call me, Do you know who I am?" Dilandau was now enraged and there was nothing he could do about it.
" Actually I do not, but I don't think I should care, since your the one that's being locked up in this kingdom," The guard spoke proudly of the kingdom of which he stood in.
" I am the great Dilandau Albato, the general of the dragonslayers and the most known killer in all of GEAE," Dilandau spoke with pride of his name which held the lives of so many innocence he had killed.
The guard was speechless, he didn't realize that his King had locked up the most feared man in Geae.
" Well im not so sure I should believe you sir, if your so great why are you locked up like a animal?" The guard started to get a little saucy and all it did was raise Dilandau's anger.
" What the hell are you talking about, where am I?" Dilandau demanded his question be answered.
" Well you'll have to ask my King when he comes down to see the prisoner we have." The guard went back to sitting at his post and just watching the red eyed man in the cell.
Dilandau sat down on the small, hard cot in the corner of the cell and watched the guard, taking every move into account. Then something caught his attention, a small clicking sound coming from a distance, but Dilandau knew it was the sound of quickened footsteps. His gaze moved from the cocky, disorganized guard to the stone steps that lead to the dungeon.
The steps grew closer and the sound became more noticeable and the guard straightened his armor and stood at attention. Dilandau was disgusted in the performance by this kings calvary, and knew he would be able to beat this kingdom in battle.
The steps seemed so close that the guard began to sweat, and his nervousness showed like a chocolate stain on a white sheet.
All of a sudden the steps stopped and 2 voices could be heard threw the corridor and Dilandau knew they were at the top of the stairs. Then you could hear two pairs of footsteps could be heard coming down the stony stairs and then Dilandau caught sight of his captor. It was King Van of Fanelia and Allen the heavenly knight. Dilandau thought he was going to through up and yell in rage but he withheld his disgust.
" So I see that our intruder has awoken from his slumber." Van said through the metal bars.
" Van, you wont be able to keep me here, my dragonslayers will come and retrieve me and then I will return to kill you and take what was mine," Dilandau's confidence rang threw Van's ears and he didn't like how much certainty Dilandau had.
" And what was yours that we have?" Allen jumped into the conversation.
" Well if you must know, the silver haired girl that you took from the Zibach fortress." Dilandau kept his words short and to the point, he didn't want to slip anything.
" You mean Hope, well Im sorry Dilandau she isn't going to go any where and I wish you would just leave the young girl alone she's had a lot to deal with." Van instantly defended the poor girl that has had her life given to her and then had it ripped away.
" So im suppose to care now, well caring hasn't gotten me the name Dilandau Albato the most feared general in all of Geae." Dilandau didn't know what Van was talking about, how much could one girl go through on the Mystic Moon.
" Its no use Van, your not going to get through to him, he's a blood crazed lunatic." Allen knew that Dilandau wouldn't break under any circumstances.
Van knew Allen was right, he knew that Dilandau would be loyal to the end or his loyalties changed. However Van also knew that the dragonslayers would come for there general, and they would fight tot he death to make sure that Dilandau was all right. The one thought that ran through Van's head was that the dragonslayers were the heroes of that empire, not Dilandau.
" all right Allen, let us check on Hope and make sure she's comfortable," Van said loud enough so that he could hear, he wanted to see if Dilandau had a little bit of a heart and if he did, now would be the time it would be his weakness.
" Answer me this Van," Dilandau said in a mellow dramatic tone.
" And what would be the question?" Van matched Dilandau's cross tone.
" What has happened to the young prisoner?" That was the weakness Van had been waiting for.
" Do you remember when we were dueling in the Zibach empire?" Van asked, needing Dilandau's help to pull through his plan.
" Yes I do, very well actually," Dilandau was adding to the conversation very beautifully.
" Well it was when you struck her left shoulder, she lost a lot of blood and we are praying to the spirits that she pull through." Van was trying to make it as simple, and as smooth as possible.
" Oh..." Dilandau's facial features changed from concern to something else, something no one has ever seen on the blood thirsty general's face.
Van hoped that his plan worked, for if it didn't, Van put Hope in more danger than what she was already in.
Allen started u[ the stairs, not knowing what Van was doing. He thought Van was reckless with his thoughts and to quick with his mouth.
Van followed the knight slowly up the stairs and glanced back at the general that seemed to be in deep thought.
" Van would you mind telling me what that was all about?" Allen wanted to know what was behind this recklessness.
" Im sorry my dear friend but if I tell you, you will have already known to much," Van had the whole plan worked out in his head, and the first step had already been taken.
" All right Van, but I hope you have this worked out, because your putting that girl in danger with every word that escapes your lips." Allen should a little bit of compassion for the first time to a so called prisoner.
" I do Allen, I do." Van said before he left his friend at the end of the corridor.
