Vision Of Escaflowne Fan Fiction ❯ God Of Destruction ❯ Traveling ( Chapter 2 )

It was going to take Dilandau and Inferno 3 days to travel to the settlement. Even with Inferno being able to fly them there he could only fly for twenty minutes at the most before he'd need a brake. He'd never had to fly with a passenger before so he wasn't used to it.

When they would stop for a break Dilandau would take out his sword and start sharpening it. He never spoke once. It was as though he was in a trance the entire time. He was obviously thinking about something but Inferno had no interest in what went through his demonic mind and no one else was there to ask him.

Dilandau was happy being left alone with his thoughts but not being able to talk to anyone was making him fell very alone and because of his last life he just couldn't deal with that anymore. But what would you talk about with a Dragon anyways? Fire maybe... fire can solve all problems. Then a thought occurred to him.

"Inferno," he called," What is the name of this planet?"

~ The Dragons have always called it Katmorire but I believe the humans call it something different. ~

"I see. Then we will have to find out what they call it before we kill to many people. I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself. All other dragons I have meet would die for a chance to shed human blood." He chuckled a bit under his breath at the thought of so many innocent people never having a chance to defend themselves against the furry of a dragon and one under his command as well.

~ Yes Lord Dilandau. Like the rest of my race I hate humans with a passion. ~

"Does it bother you that I'm in a human body?"

~ No. You don't act like the rest of them. You are not ignorant. You kill because it was what you were created to do; they just kill because they're too dense to know otherwise. ~

"At least I know I'm not in the company of a fool. You chose your words carefully and know things for the way they are. How much farther is it to the settlement?"

~ We've been traveling for nearly a day. It will take about 2 more days until we arrive at the rate we've been traveling but if we were to fly and walk when I need to rest my wings it should only take half that time. ~

"Great! Just one more day then and we'll be able to kill! I can't wait. It's been way to long!"

~ I am ready to fly again. Shall we go? ~

"Yes. We will hunt for something to eat when your wings wear out again."

Dilandau swung himself up onto Inferno's neck again and they rose up above the tree line and began flying south again towards the settlement he now knew as Drathdon.

The two to of them didn't talk again for the remainder of the trip. There was nothing to talk about. They did walk when Inferno was resting his wings to save time. But they would not walk in the open; they wouldn't even land out in the open if it could be helped. They didn't want to warn the people of Drathdon in anyway so they would stay above the clouds whenever possible and land only in thick forested areas.

When they could view the small village from the edge of the forest Dilandau told Inferno to wait there while he went to see if this place was even worth taking over.

Trouble began as soon as he crossed the village border.
