the fourth king delphi
orinstine held me over the hole to the abyss i knew what he had to do his grip on my collar told me he didnt want this. i turned to him and lifted his lions helm, his red hair hung behind his head as a pony tail, his face showing only pain and sadness i looked into his eyes and he looked into mine. i opened my arms and he held me close, i kissed him and whispered"its alright my love im sorry" then i pushed off him he tried to grab me but i was out of reach my siblings were pushed in after me as i fell i could hear artorias holding him back as orinstine wanted to jump in after me. i smiled im glad he will live on for me.
my first memorise were when gywndolin found us, he was like my father and mother at the same time, he taught me to walk and talk even to use magic but i could only use pyromancy. i reached the age of eight by the time we were put into gywns special corps. there i met a red haired boy named orinstine, he loved to talked about how he would lead gywns mighty armies. for a time i kept close to him because babylon and the others were seperated from me.
orinstine was strong for a child even though he wasnt human he had a incredable ability to speed up and glide through the air. he tried to teach me how to do it but i was only human, many times he took me under his wing and tried to help me get better and improve myself. he taught me how to use a halberd very well, we went from children to teenagers together he remained beside me until the day we had to leave each other and join our "focus" studies, they were what made us better in a certain feild then any other i went to learn better pyromancises from the witch of izalith and he went with babylon and artorias to be infantry to learn combat on the battle feild.
gywndolin escorted me to izalith after showing vincent to the dukes archives, the way there was dangerous we passed through a place known as blight town a poisonous swamp that protected izalith from most and those who do get through the guards were big and strong so strong they threw boulders around for fun we passed through a small cave, gywndolin had to bend down to get through. it opened up into a large space that was covered in stones which lead to a tower. infront of us was a line of women and girls in blue clothes that looked like water and stoped flowing in rings on them, the center one steped forward and asked gywndolin to leave, he bowed and bid me farewell. the woman from the center of the line walked up to me"welcome dear child i am the witch of izalith, i will be teaching you and watching over you now" she said her face was mostly covered but i could make out the smile on her face, i nodded and followed her as she and the others left.
i was in awe of how big izalith was and how it was guarded by demons that the witch of izalith controled, i was given a dress just like the others i wore it always just like them. i grew fast in my control of pyromancy the other girls started to talk to me and want to spend time with me including two of the daughters of the mistress i called the witch of izalith the mistress because i thought witch of izalith sounded mean. quelag had a firey temper where as quelan was clam and shy, the oldest quelanna made sure they were alright from time to time.
"come on delphi keep up" quelag raced ahead leaving me and quelan behind, we caught up to her"what is so exciting that you draged me and quelan out here for?" i asked breathing heavy, the lava around izalith was a defencive barriar pyromancers could move it out of the way but it still was hot moving around outside of izalith with the robes on. she pointed over the edge"my mother made a new demon" she said, i looked and saw this centiped thing on the side of the wall looking back up at me,"ok and?" i asked as i had a feeling some terrible plan for fun quelag had was about to happen, she pushed me over the edge, from where we were the fall would kill almost anyone. i flailed my arms and grabbed the demon so i wouldnt fall, its eyes started to glow. quelag jumped down and got on with me pulling her sister down with her, after the demon woke up it launched off the rocks and landed on the ground below shaking and jumping trying to get us off, me and quelan held on for dear life as quelag screamed and yelled her enjoyment.
i couldnt hold forever my grip began to fall me and i was launched off below me was a pool of lava i didnt have time to cast the spell for lava manipulation i was going to die. tears filled my eyes as my last moments wre flashing before me, i closed my eyes and waited but the lava never came i looked and found myself in orinstines arms. he looked older now he was around the age of seventeen and his red hair was put back into a pony tail, he wiped one of my tears away"that was a close call" he said, soon after the mistress stopped her demon and gave use three a harsh punishment even though me and quelan were forced into this.
orinstine came here because he asked the mistress if she can help forge a suit of armor that would grow with his body. she told him it would take a few day and had him stay with me.
it was like old times but different as well, when i saw him he wasnt that goofy kid that wanted me to get better he was the strong, kind man who saved me. i shook my head as my face turned red, what was i thinking he and i are different speicies he will grow to be a giant compared to me, besides he only seemed intrested in the other girls. i sighed and muttered under my breath"guess im not good enough". we normaly spent our days apart him out exploring or picking a fight with the capra demons or trying to hit on the other daughters of chaos. then the day finaly came he had his armor and was going to leave, i was happy but sad at the same time, i wouldnt have to look at him but i wouldnt know if he was alright. i hit my head trying to keep those thoughts from myself.
soon after vincent came to stay with me apparently seath was losing his marbles, then we were called to anor londo for some reason, lord gywn presented us with our new titles,new orders and a shard of his soul to share. he held a grand feast for us that night, vincent and quelag were together being all lovy dovy made me want to retch babylon left to go talk to a girl he liked called priscilla and ciaran and eldous were talking about artorias like he was their idol.
i grabbed a drink from the table and chugged it down it was then i found out i was a light weight when it came to alchohle, my emotions were running rampent and i just got drunk for the first time but i blacked out.
i woke the next morning my head pounding and some how i made it to a bed, i sat up and found i had no clothes so i tried to cover myself with the blanket. when i yanked on it to do so i found i wasnt alone orinstine was in the bed with me. my mind was a wreck at that moment so many things were going through my head so i went on impulse and pushed him off the bed. he slowly sat up and looked at me"whats your problem" he asked rubing his head,"i d-demand a explanation" i yelled, we both grabbed our heads yelling bad idea.
we got dressed and he explained what i did after i blacked out, i walked up to him and told him how mad i was at him for hitting on every other girl but me, and how i had such love for him yet he never looked at me. i continued to rant on causing a scene that amused gywndolin who was near by, he sugested that orinstine take me to my room and let me sleep off the wine. when orinstine got me up there i asked him to help me undress because i was to hot, he refused and tried to leave thats when i grabbed his hand begging him to stay. he sat beside me and talked to me about my feelings for him, at first he just thought it was the alchohol talking but the more i talked about it the more he believed me. after that i kissed him and then we...did somethings and here we are.
i put up my hood to hide my shame i got drunk confessed and slept with the guy i liked all in one alchohol induced night, i felt like i could just die from the embaresment. i got up to go see my sister as i was leaving he grabbed my hand, as i turned to look at him he got up and kissed me. i was shocked but i accepted it, when we broke from the kiss he whispered he loved me too.
after we parted ways and i went to help rule new londo he visited me very often, we had some big plans for us but they were torn to bits by this terrible fate of mine. i hope you can forgive me my love, i thought coming back from my memories as i looked at the disappering light.
it has been forever since then or it feels that way but this abyss may have taken alot from me but it will never take those memories. i heard babylon yell out in anger as a new undead came down into the abyss to fight us, it was strange this one looked alot like he did back then and fought like a painted warrior. he cut babylon down then eldous, vincent followed after that. he walked up to me and lifted his scyth i bowed my head welcoming the death,"delphi you...we all will be reborn" the undead said in babylons voice as the scyth severed my head from its shoulders and i saw my body, my soul left its old tired vessle but i heard laughter.
"this world has already lost four of its great warriors perhapse we should give you four another chance" velka smiled and sent our souls back i opened my eyes to the world of light one more time
