Chapter Three: The Law
King Heero Yuy, of the Jh-Oli Colys ((L-One Kingdom)), strode into the large meeting room of Saesti os si Vyri((Temple of the Rose)), a deadly glare planted firmly on his face and his brother Prince Trowa Barton, fallowed no emotion showing in his one visible eye (1). The other elves looked at Heero with wary eyes and scared souls, though they would never admit that to any one, let alone Heero. Heero was King of the Pas Thysaer Aelaer ((Dark Forest Elves)), and to show fear to him would to only make him more arrogant, the other thought. What they didn't know, was the fact that Heero already knew that the other were scare of him. There was barely a creature on this planet that could look Heero in the eye and not feel fear of the Pas Thysaer Aer ((Dark Forest Elf (singular)).
Heero took his seat two chairs down from the Master of Saesti os si Vyri, Treize Kushrenada. Heero looked the man up and down, eyes still glaring deadly. The 'ONLY' Elf to look Heero in the eye and 'NOT' feel fear. He hated these useless meetings. Always about some fairy steeling from a dwarf, or some pixies playing pranks on a centaur or a fawn. Nothing really important, since war was not an option, they had to talk about it. Heero hated talking about the problems. He hated dealing with such petty, so called crimes. Though these simple incidence should have been taken care of between the parties involved alone, for some reason they were not, and they were handed to the elves. So again, they elves took leadership over the world of Kelas (Gundam (2)). No matter how many times they gave the position away to lesser beings, within decades it was back in there hands. And then the Elves would do something that would piss off the world and a war would start. Heero could almost feel the war edging closer to them, despite the treaty, and in no regards for the wants of peace.
"I'm glade to see that you felt it was necessary to join us this time, King Yuy." Treize said, he smiled kindly. Heero continued to glare. The room was only of elves, Heero dully noted. Unusual as it may be, Heero wasn't surprised. This was just another example of what he thought would come.
"Wellyou sent a Taeraelaes os Iasaelia (Messenger of Urgency). What happened this time Master Treize, Fawn dance a little too much, maybe had too much to drink? Or did a Fairy loose its charms. I'm getting quite sick of neglecting Jh-Oli Colys for these petty...ridiculous...things." Heero said, his glare still aimed at Treize only intensified. After all it was he who sent the Taeraelaes os Iasaelia. "I have more important things to take care of at the moment." Heero added, and it was true. He had a pile of pleas for new buildings, and re-imbursements on stolen items.
"You are right. The burning buildings, loose cattle, and petty theft are far more important then our current demon problem." Treize said, slightly amused when Heero's glared softened slightly. "AsI am aware of, you are having demon problems, as all of our kingdoms are. That is why I sent the Taeraelaes os Iasaelia, because this needs to stop, and it needs to stop now."
"Or ((yes)), but my demon problems are being taken care of as I speak. I have sent Maelyl (Shenlong, Wufei's trackers) to track them down." Heero said. Treize lifted an eye brow at Heero. Everyone was watching closely now. Trowa hid his face in one hand. Knowing that this little argument brewing between the two too strong headed elf kings would not end well. Heero just continued to stare at the taller, older elf.
"So you sent your little Pandryl Aer os Thosi((Dragon Elf of Fire)). Funny,I thought he had a condition." Treize said. Trowa sunk back in his chair. Groaning slightly, not in pain, but at what he knew was coming. Treize was openly doubting Heero's decision, and in front of the other Elf Kings and Queens.
"Or." ((YES)) Heero said shortly. Trowa lifted an eyebrow at Heero's calm response, but didn't look at the two.
"What was it again...something called...Paestylos Tadaer ((Demonic Madness))." Treize said. There was a slight murmur in the room and Heero slammed his fist on the table to get them to quiet, which they all did immediately. "With Paestylos Tadaer, Wufei could kill the demons without even realizing he's doing it. The severe trauma he endured damaged his brain. I understand that he is an unbeatable Pandryl Shysos ((Dragon Worrior)), but you sent him after demons that do not deserve the punishment of death. What would you do Heero if he dragged the demons back severely hurt or even dead?" Treize asked. Heero glare hardened again and he stood. He was not going to let anyone doubt his decisions of his own kingdom.
"Wufei will be punished accordingly, but I did tell him to use any means necessary, and I also told him to bring them alive, so if they do come back hurt, that is not punishable because no orders were broken. If they come back dead Wufei will get a dishonorable discharge and be placed into servitude, and if he argues with that he will be sentenced to life imprisonment or death, which ever I feel like giving him." Heero said, it sounded more of a growl then real words but the elves understood what he said. Treize smiled. Trowa sighed in relief and everyone else in the room seemed to calm a bit. Heero was answering to Treize explaining his actions, rather then his normal threatening to kill the elf if he continued to doubt him. Heero sat down, none to lightly, and crossed his arms across his chest.
"Good, now we can move on to the demon issue. I have talked with the Tholi Jhyl ((Five Loons)), and we have come to an agreement that demons should no longer roam free amongst the lands. Though there are a limited few that still do roam free, the number of attacks have been growing. With that said, we have decided to enslave them. I know this is a punishment that is inhuman, to enslave a soul for eternity. But these demons need to be controlled or they need to disappear for good. By enslaving them, we can still value their lives, without the hassle of loosing our own." Treize said. His voice was far away though, and it was not his normal style to say things in such a manner. He spoke to quickly and almost seemed nervous about his words. Heero smirked, and Trowa got that feeling again that Heero might start something. This time the feelings didn't lie.
"Did you decide this Treize or did the Tholi Jhyl decide this for us?" Heero asked bitterly. Trowa agreed with Heero, even if he didn't word it. Enslaving a living creature was not the way of the elves, why resort to such measures. True killing them was also not a measure an elf would take unless his very life was threatened, or the life of a dear one. But why not just banish them. True the problems were getting out of hand. In Jh-Oli Colys the problems were not serious though, and he doubted that they were serious in most other places. For the last thirty eight years the demons had been laying low, though pranks and missing thing, burning building and falling trees became a normal expectation from the demons. But the demons had brains enough to not kill anyone, which he had heard of. Of course there were many places out of reach from Jh-Oli Colys.
"I and Zechs tried to find other means. The Tholi Jhyl is old. The oldest of our kind. What they say is absolute." Treize said. "Starting today, once you have all returned to your kingdoms, all demons must be bond to an elf. And to show our people that this is how it has to be, all higher elves must take a demon as a slave. These are the rules...no…the law, of the Tholi Jhyl. And to add to the humiliation of such a measure the Tholi Jhyl will personally be making visits to our Kingdom to make sure this law is being obeyed." Treize said, completely ignoring Heero's bait into a verbal argument.
"This is idiocy ." Heero said, standing to leave. He made it to the door before Treize spoke up.
"Heero, if one is to disobey this law; they will be removed from the throne." Treize said. Heero turned to Treize.
"I had no intension of disobeying, just of making things harder for the Tholi Jhyl." Heero said with a smirk. Trowa followed Heero out of Saesti os si Vyri and into the carriage that waited for them. The carriage jerked into motion and the pounding of the four black horse's hooves became a rhythm just out site the wooden doors. Trowa turned to Heero.
"Heero, I think the Tholi Jhyl is planning something. Every time they make a law, something happens and a war becomes an answer to the problem." Heero nodded in agreement. Yet again, there was another example of his thoughts. This would lead to war, and Heero was going to make sure he was prepared for it.
"War is not something that can easily be forgotten. Peace has lasted for three decades this time. Much longer then any other time. I believe our Jhyl Jharol Vaeli ((Long Lasting Peace)) is coming to an end. Trowa you were born to peace, but I have trained you well enough in battle." Heero said watching Saesti os si Vyri disappear in the distance. He deeply hoped Wufei had not killed the demons; he would need his Pandryl Shasos ((Dragon Warrior)) if a war did come to reality.
"I understand, and if it comes to be I will fight to protect Jh-Oli Colys." Trowa said, bowing his head slightly.
-------------------------(Jh-Oli Colys)-----------------------
Wufei and his Maelyl ((Shenlong, Wufei's student are called this)), returned to Jh-Oli Colys shortly after Heero had arrived and waited patently just out side the thrown chamber doors. He had a tight grip in the bloodied, bruised, and broken arm of the long haired demon. He had untied him only because the demon was no longer thinking coherently, let alone standing on his own. They had to stop eight times that morning, and each time ended with Wufei beating the demon into unconsciousness. And each time Wufei was hurt in the chest when he walked or road past the blond demon. So when on the eighth stop he almost suffered from a heart attack, he knocked the blond demon out too. Said demon was currently hanging limply in Shaero's arms, a small bruise on his temple. The long haired demon had gained consciousness, but seemed to be extremely out of it and was barely moving, really only breathing in long gasping breaths. Wufei's guilt was eating at him, but for the life of him he couldn't place it on why he felt so guilty.
The doors where opened and a guard came out. He noticed the demon in Wufei's hands and winced slightly. Feeling sorry for the poor thing in front of him. Wufei glared at him, bring him back into reality. The guard gave Wufei a disappointed look and spoke rather rudely to the black haired elf.
"King Heero will see you know." The guard said, taking one more took at the demon before turning and leading the two into the large throne chamber. Once a few feet away from the throne, in which Heero sat, looking extremely pissed off, and tired, Wufei pushed the demon to the ground, there was a slight cry of pain, the demon moved his arm only to stop and wince in pain, gasping for breath like a fish taken out of water.
Duo was shaking and his head was spinning. He really didn't expect for the floor to jump up and smack him. He tried to push himself up but couldn't, his entire body felt like it was on fire. His mind was so far gone from the pain that he couldn't even summon up the power to give himself strength. He couldn't even summon the will to even think of summoning any type of power. He heard talked and stilled again to listen, though the words only seemed mumbled to his ears. Though he could tell it was someone important but the authority in the voice.
"Wufei, I'm slightly disappointed." Heero said, looking at the battered demon in front of him. "I know your condition is uncontrollable, but I didn't expect you to take it this far." Heero looked at the elf before him. Wufei and bowed his head. "What happened?" Heero asked.
"Heero, sir, I really can't say that I remember doing any of it. The demon would say something and my mind would just black out. When I came to, he was either unconscious or bleeding." Wufei said. He knew he had a condition. And he knew it was from the attack early in his life. But he had no idea when it would happen, or for how long, or how strong the actions would be, therefore making the lash out completely uncontrollable. Heero nodded in understanding. Though his glare didn't lessen.
"Wufei, I'm going to take you off Maelyl. I know you can handle them, but you can't handle yourself. I would still; however, like you to be my General you Maelyl's may also go with you, if you want them there. I am afraid that I will need you to command my army, and soon. I will need you to get them ready for battle." Wufei nodded. He wanted to know why, but his King had just promoted him rather then demoting him, which held his tongue in place. By all rights of justice Wufei should have been demoted at the very least. Wufei vowed to try harder to control himself, he had gotten away lucky this time, he feared that the next may cause him his life.
"As for the Maelyl, I hear that one of them will not me graduating." Heero said. He looked slightly amused by this.
"Masoli, sire, his heart is too kind for this path." Wufei said. Heero nodded. He understood completely. Each elf had there own paths to find and fallow. But Heero had an idea for the kind hearted elf.
"Then I will have Masoli work in the palace. He will be placed as a guard for the demon. And have his brother Melyli take the positions as the others guard." Heero ordered. They were not guarding the demons from harm, per say, more this guarding the other from the demons.
"Sire?" Wufei asked, unable to hold his tongue this time. So Heero went into an explanation. Telling Wufei and Shaero what Trieze had told Trowa and himself. Wufei nodded in agreement, going against the elder elves was useless. Wufei didn't like dealing in politics so tried to stay away form them. But having the demons in the castle was going to make things a little harder, not only on Wufei, but everyone in the castle.
"Sally, Heldi, please take the demons, heal their wounds..." Heero turned to Trowa, with an amused smile. "Blond or brunette?" He asked. Trowa turned a nice shade of green, not liking the enslavement law, but he had no choice. Then he looked at the demons. Figuring that the blond was the calmer of the two he made his decision.
"Blond, he looks easier to handle considering Wufei didn't beat the shit out of him." Trowa said. Heero sighed.
"I was afraid you were going to say that. Always leaving the difficult things to me." Heero said, jokingly. Then addressed the two she elves. "Take the blond to Trowa's quarters and the brunette to mine..." He hated his next words. They felt so...unnatural. "Chain them down; they will need to be bonded." The girls nodded. Also not liking the fact that they were going to have a hand in the enslaving of these creatures. Though they were not important enough in the political pool of the elves to has their say in the matter, and there for could not argue. Sally took Quatre from Shaero's arms and smiled warmly at the woman, who seemed to be holding the boy protectively. (3).
Duo felt the hands lifting him and screamed out the best he could, which ended up being a pitiful moan. He opened his eyes to see who was caring him, but only saw a peach-ish blur with a multiple colored base and a fuzzy dark purple top, which hurt his eyes, so he closed them again. Heldi looked at the demon with sad eyes, she wanted to glare at Wufei, but she knew the man couldn't help it. In fact everyone in Jh-Oli Colys knew about Wufei, and is 'slight' temper disorder. It still didn't easy the fact that she was going to have a long day ahead of her healing all these wounds, and from the blood in the corner of the demons mouth, she could tell there were internal injuries as well. She sighed and fallowed Sally out of the chamber.
Heero watched the two she-elves carry the demons away before turning his attention to Wufei again. Wufei wasn't making eye contact. Aware that he failed his mission slightly, and was mentally beating himself for his condition.
"Wufei." Heero addressed. Wufei looked up at Heero and waited for the Kings words. "I think you should go see Si Tol (4). He has sent me a letter instructing me that you need to see him. I think he may be able to help with your condition. He says he can not cure it, but he can help you make it more controllable. I do not care for a repeat of this incident. Do you understand me?" Heero said. Wufei nodded with a bow. Heero dismissed him.
Waiting until Wufei and Shaero were gone, Heero turned to Trowa.
"How are you planning that we bind the demons to us?" Trowa asked.
"The binding gems will work temporarily. If we end up needing to make it permanent then we'll bind their souls to ours. But I don't want to do that unless I have the demons consent." Trowa nodded in agreement.
(1) They share the same mother and father, just different names.
(2) I didn't feel like making up an entirely new name for a planet, and I also didn't feel like calling it earth, middle earth, Gaia, or any other name earth has. So I picked the elvish word closest for Gundam and it is actually kind of pretty and I may use it in one of my comic books, since Kelas is a made up word and really has nothing to do with Gundam. Bwhahahahahaha I cannot be sued Bwahahahahahahahahaha.
(3) worried that Wufei would hurt him too.
(4). Si Tol means the mind, but it's a name so I didn't translate it in the story.
