DELOS

Even though I have seen many things of this 'New World' through Maggie's eyes, it never prepared me for what I was about to encounter.

The noise was deafening, so many foreign sounds battered against my unprepared eardrums. It hurt so much that I thought that I was going deaf, even after three months my sensitive hearing has yet to adapt.

The noise however, wasn't the only thing that overran my senses. My sense of smell was thrown of balance. The air in the villages . . . no village is not the right word. Town? City?

The air there is thicker and more polluted than that of the Dark Kingdom.

Sometimes I feel as though I am going to suffocate with the thickness of it all.

However, even though the density of the air is very different here, there are a lot more scents that intrigue me. Every flower has a different aroma, every tree, every food, and every single individual uses exotic fragrances that I have never encountered before.

All these scents make my mind spin. So many aromas to keep track off, I often find myself lost in the combination of them all.

But that's not all, this world has many creatures, objects, foods, clothes, houses and transportation that I have never seen before.

Cars are unusual and I still do not understand how they work. To me they are unnatural. I miss my horse, my beautiful dark stallion with red-dish highlights.

I am planning on teaching Maggie how to ride.

Maggie . . .

Her name sends shivers throughout my entire body.

My Maggie, my sweet, determined, strong willed and caring Maggie.

I love her so much that it scares me.

I never thought I could love.

I was raised to be a king, a title that I had no desire for but knew it was in my birth right. I did everything that was ever expected of me, I became ruthless and trained well. I studied and I hunted, but most of all I banished all emotions except anger and hate.

I lost all my innocence the day my father made me kill my teacher . . . my mentor. The only man that ever showed me affection and love, the only person I ever cared for as a child.

I promised myself, at the age of 4, that I would never care for anyone again, it hurt too much to loose them. When my father died I didn't even blink, nor shed a tear.

I didn't care.

I became what he wanted me to be. Cold, cruel and uncaring for those below my title.

Who would ever have thought, that it would take only one girl to brake through my hard shell of defences and reveal the true Delos hiding inside.

She showed me what love really was and how life was supposed to be. I don't know what I would have done without her.

Words can not express what I feel . there are simply not enough in the world to describe how much I love my Maggie.

I would never have survived a day in this 'New World' alone without her.

Finding my sweet and determined Maggie was the best thing that has ever happened to me. I never thought I would meet my match.

A girl who could stand up to me with determination and without fear, a girl who could love me for who I am and not what people want me to be, a girl who loves me as much as I love her.

A girl called Maggie.

My soulmate,

My love,

My heart,

My one and only.

~~Authors Note: Delos, to me always seemed less emotional so I tried to explain that and keep to a limited amount of soppyness. He was raised to be a king so I have used a more complex form of writing(I think).~~

I'm not sure if I like this part . Let me know what you think

SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG, IVE HAD WRITERS BLOCK, I'LL START WRITING THENEXT PART AS SOON AS I GET A CHANCE. AS MOST OF YOU KNOW I HAVE A LOT OF STORIES THAT I HAVE TO KEEP UPDATING . .. 2 BUFFY, 1 ANGEL AND 5 L.J.SMITH. THAT'S NOT MENTIONING ONES IM WORKING ON TJHAT AINT BEEN POSTED YET.
