Title: A hero's tale
Summary: Daisuke is a homeless kid who meets Dark a geohound and there adventure begins…I based this a bit on Grandia2 and I suck at summary's so sorry if it is bad. Rated for fighting and violence in later chaps and langue.
Disclaimer: I don't own DNAngel but I do own this story and most of the things in it. This story is loosely based on Grandia 2! What I do not own is the skyline valmars tongue and wings. I also don't own pope Zera.
"Umm I'm Tim…sir…" He looked down towards the floor.
White wings lay on the floor, the angels ripped shirt catching on the numerous white feathers. Krad silently stirred. He glanced at his surroundings. Forest trees surrounded him, a stone path lay under his feet. Satoshi's body was no where in sight. Did he drop him in the granna cliffs? He hoped not.
He pushed himself off of the ground. His head pounded like hell. Blue eyes slowly opened. Satoshi clutched onto a tree trunk. Forest's surrounded him, while a muddy path led straight through the middle. Carefully he limped his way up the path.
"Tim…please don't call me sir makes me feel old and royal"
"Okay…"
"Call him Dark" Daisuke happily said.
"Mr.Dark where are we going" Risa clutched onto Darks poor defenceless arm.
"Were going to stop off at a town called Senda"
"So there going to Senda are they?" A voice asked. Darkness surrounded his figure. Red and purple lights flashed on and off. A dark glowing orb stood before the figure projecting the image of the small group.
"Isn't that where a piece of valmar is?"
"Yes sir" A figure covered in a black robe bowed. His sliver hair falling off his shoulders. Emerald eyes with black slits in the middle looked towards the figure cloaked in darkness.
"Make sure that it is collected" A menacing laugh filled the room. The silver haired figure bowed once again and left.
Dark walked in front. Behind him was Daisuke, then Risa and then Tim. A fog began to rise, it blinded the small group not allowing them to even see there feet. Dark grabbed Daisuke's wrist. A blush formed on the redheads face.
"Every one hold onto each others wrists that way we wont get separated" Soon every one was holding onto someone's hand or wrist. They continued to walk. Ruffling sounded under their feet while a sweat sent of pollen entered there noses. The fog began to clear. The four of them stood in a field. Flowers filled every where and a small raised grass patch with a tree stood before them.
Golden orbs flew in the sky and danced with the playful wind. Whispering could also be heard. Soon the group realised that they were not orbs but fairies. That's when they saw her.
A small girl around the age of ten if not younger moved from behind the tree. Her purple eyes looked towards where the four stood. Her short green hair swayed slightly in the wind. She wore a light yellow dress that had a big yellow bow on the front. Three small silver bracelets sat round her left wrist.
"Welcome to the garden of dreams" She happily said as she appeared in front of the group. Fairies danced around her playfully.
"Umm…hi" purple eyes looked into ruby ones. Soon a smile grew on her face.
"Have you come to escape the bad memories of the past?" Dark shook his head.
"No miss, we our simply lost" She stood still for a minute and a fairy fluttered down towards her. It then gently whispered in her ear.
"My name is Aries I have to go now and please…don't eat me" With that the girl ran behind the tree and vanished.
"What did she mean by 'don't eat me'?" Risa and Tim asked in union. Dark shrugged and began to make his way out of the field. Daisuke still tightly clung to his wrist.
Fog steamed his glasses. Blue eyes tried there hardest to locate his position. A sweat scent began to fill his nose. That's when he realised he was no longer in the endless woods, but in a field full of bright flowers and small little fairies.
"Where am…I?" Satoshi asked the air.
"You're in the garden of dreams" He spun round only to face a small girl with bright purple eyes and green hair. A smiled happily was plastered on her face.
"Have you come to get rid of all the painfully memories and join us?" She pointed to the fairies that now hovered around her. The blue haired boy shook his head.
"No…sorry I was wondering have you seen a redhead and a geohound?" The girl nodded and pointed in the direction that they went. She then ran towards the tree in the centre of the grassy patch, her yellow dress trailed behind her.
"Oh and sir…please don't let him eat you" She smiled and disappeared.
'What did…she mean?'
The four found themselves in the small town Senda. Shell like buildings stuck firmly to the ground. Spices were scented in the air and drifted into there noises. People aimlessly walked around the town. A man with gray blue haired waited patiently.
Soon the man walked up to the group.
"Have any of you seen any sisters or brothers?" The man sighed as the four shook there heads.
"Why sir? Are you awaiting there presence?" The man nodded as Risa asked.
"You see-Ah a brother!" A blue haired boy walked through the gates his blue eyes widened as the geohound and the adorable red head stood in front of him with two others.
"Thank goodness you came…please are town…we are cursed" Satoshi blinked. He then sighed.
"I'm sorry but I'm not the one you are waiting for" The old man turned his eyes holding sadness. He walked back to his place and waited. Blue eyes glanced around the area, a strand of red hair quickly entered the inn. He walked towards the place.
The inn was quite calm. The keeper stood behind her desk, sadness filled her eyes. Her long light amber hair was tied neatly in a bun.
"Oh guests sorry I didn't see you there…how may I help you?" Her pink eyes stared at the four teens before her. Dark walked right up to her.
"Can you put us up for the night?" He asked her. Meanwhile red ruby eyes stared out the window. The man that had talked to them still waited. The blue haired boy was now making his way towards a house a young girl followed him while a lady with short red hair led him into the building.
"What ya lookin at?" Tim stood next to him. His small strands of blonde hair were now placed under a green hat that he had fished out of his pocket. His blue eyes followed the direction of his ruby ones.
Daisuke continued to stare out of the window. He watched as people walked about not really caring were they were going. He saw Dark walk back up to the man that had talked to them and then to the blue haired boy who he could remember meeting in the pub. He watched as Dark started a conversation with the man.
Curiosity poked at him and he ran out towards the two leaving Risa with Tim.
"…All the victims say the same thing"
"And what's that?"
"…The garden of dreams…" Ruby eyes widened.
"The garden of dreams…Dark wasn't that the garden that we meet the little girl?" purple and gray eyes lingered on Daisuke. Dark frowned as he remember the little incident. He then nodded.
"Yeah…we meet a girl called Aries…" Dark frowned as the towns man frowned. His eyes held a sign of shock hate and horror.
"They were right…it was that witches doing after all…"
"But Aries was just a little girl she could do no harm to whatever this problem is" Daisuke shouted. Ruby eyes shone full of determination.
"Daisuke…I believe you and the people who are falling asleep…can I see them?" The man nodded and told the two to follow. They walked though the large grey doors of the blue shelled house.
Ruby and wine eyes stared at the peaceful scene. Many blankets were laid on the floor. Children, teenagers and adults were sleeping peacefully on the materials. Flowers were placed at the heads of the people and formed a halo type shape.
Dark and Daisuke went up closer to examine the so called ill people. A small boy with black hair and green cloths muttered in his dream.
"Oh so pretty…" A smile never left his face as he dreamed away. Daisuke walked over towards a man in his mid thirty's a smile was on his face to.
"…Such beautiful flowers…" He grumbled as he stayed still, the smile widening as each second passed.
"These people…they don't seem ill but just asleep" Daisuke frowned. Everyone was so peaceful. How could they be ill all they were doing was sleeping?
"That's the problem…all they do is sleep and murmur in their dreams…we've tried every thing to wake them…my daughter even poured freezing cold water on them but still they sleep…" Daisuke watched as another person murmured.
"…The garden of dreams…so pretty…" Ruby eyes stared at the figures face.
"Hey mister were does Aries live?"
"She lives with her mother on the edge of town over the bridge, why?" Daisuke nodded his thanks and pulled at Dark leading him towards the river. Outside the hut stood Risa and behind her Tim.
"Mr Dark!" Risa grabbed his free arm. Tim walked behind as Dark unsuccessfully tried to get one of his arms free from the teens grasp. Daisuke tightly clutched Darks right arm and tightened his hold as Risa began to grab his left. He lost contact with his pale arms.
Soon the redhead stopped in front of a bridge. Ruby eyes scanned the area as Dark again tried to free his arms. A young girl with green hair caught his red gaze. He tugged at Dark and pulled him towards the small girl. Risa determinately held his other arm. Tim just sweat dropped.
"Aries!" Daisuke lightly yelled as he neared the girl while dragging Dark. Risa finally let Dark's other arm go and so Daisuke stopped. He faced Aries as her wine coloured eyes looked at the four.
"Hello again sir"
"Please call me Daisuke"
"Okay hello Daisuke, how may I help you?"
"Well-" He was cut off as Dark asked her.
"That garden…was it real?" She nodded sending strands of green hair in the air.
"Miss Aries, do you know why all the people in there sleep say the same thing?" Daisuke politely asked. As Tim walked around the side of the building.
"Hey-Ouch! Ow ow ow! Hey lady stop hitting me!" Tim came running round the corner. A lady with long shoulder length green hair came batting a spoon on the teens head. Her blue eyes widened at the sight of the other teens with her daughter.
"Ah please leave my Aries alone she has done nothing" She stood defensively in front of the small girl and pointed her spoon towards Daisuke.
"Whoa lady, we anit gonna hurt little Aries we just wanna talk" Dark now stood between the fearful spoon of doom and Daisuke. Now he was standing defensively in front of Daisuke.
The lady nodded and put her cooking weapon down, she nodded them to come inside. They followed her and Aries.
"Please take a seat" Her old voice shook as she watched her daughter play with Risa. She smiled and turned her attention back at the others.
"Well?...what do you want to talk about?"
"About this town…I heard that something has been putting the villagers to sleep, some say you are the cause of this" Dark inhaled deeply before continuing. "I would like to know what you know about this and why they blame you…that is all" She nodded and sighed.
"My daughter was blind from birth…" Gasps were heard in the room.
"But miss, she can see" Again the lady nodded as Tim pointed to her as she started drawing pictures with Risa.
"I know…I prayed for her sight to be restored but the others called my prays summonings and callings, I searched for herbs and medicines to help her and they called them witches brew" She inhaled deeply and continued. "Finally when my prays were answered and my little Aries was given her sight back people began to fall to sleep and they blamed it on me" Again she sighed.
Daisuke tugged at Darks arm.
"Dark…maybe we could help? We helped the other town…" Dark nodded and stood up. He smiled towards the Aries mother.
"Thank you for telling us…we will try to help your town but we will only be staying for this day so we will do what we can" She nodded. Aries ran towards the door. She stopped and stared out of the window her eyes widened and she stood there shocked.
"Bad people are here" She whispered. Dark stood up fully and ran outside with the others following. Soon they came in contact with the blue haired teen.
"You…" Satoshi gave a hard glare towards the purple haired teen.
"I have no time for this" Dark hissed. He continued walking until a sharp tug from Daisuke stopped him.
"Dark, why don't we let him come with us?" Blue and purple eyes stared at him. A sigh escaped Darks lips.
"Fine, just don't get in our way" The group of five made there way towards the group. A man with long silver hair stood tall. His emerald eyes looking at the townsfolk.
"We have heard of your troubles and now we will fulfil are mission and purify the hearts that are tainted with valmar" The townsfolk gasped and began to mutter.
"Are you saying valmar walks among us?"
"Yes, I am sure, someone has been tainted by valmars darkness and there is much evil at work in this town. We must find the dark one and purify the town"
Dark walked past the group and headed towards the inn. He was stopped as the man came towards him.
"I was not told of a brother in this town, I am Sei pleased to meet you" He bowed and held his hand out towards Satoshi who shook it.
"I am not from this town, but only travelling" Silver hair swayed in the air as he nodded yet again.
"You have a strange party, a geohound, a magician, a girl and some kid?" They stared at him.
"Magician?" Tim looked to the floor. His blue eyes not daring to look at the others. Red lightly tinted his cheeks.
"Yes, magician…now I must proceed with my plans to purify this town. Good bye for now"
"Hold it…what do you mean by purify?" Dark asked eyeing Sei suspiciously.
"He means to burn it, the knights will burn the entire town once they find the evil one…"
Minceo: Well there we are the next chap is up and i think ill give ya all yet another sneak preview!
"Ah! No…please…don't make me…remember!" He held onto his head and ran. Eyes appeared around him. They glared right into his soul and taunted him. They never let him out of there sight. Soon they stopped. He let go of his head and turned. A large eyeball glared hard at him. He fell to his knees. Hands found his head again.
Well there ya go i hope u like it!
