Aimless Wandering

[Ellie who has 0%]

This has been going on for a while now, Elaeus following Dilan. The Earth Titan was beginning to wonder if the Heartless had a sense of direction or was he simply leading them in circles. The Earth Titan was glaring diamond shards at the Typhoon Angler's back as he silently strolled behind him. They didn't even pass a single heartless unless they were fleeing or following them from afar.

With a blank face, the two pointed fingers poked Dilan's side. "Are we there yet?"

The same question had been asked two minutes ago; Elaeus was becoming more impatient as time flew. "If we keep on walking like this you're going to be carrying me."

[darkunslint]

That was one hell of a massive threat. Carry… Elaeus… that would be uncomfortable in more ways than one.

“Elaeus” he said slowly. “ I think I perhaps forgot the way…” in all truth, he never knew the way. He didn’t have a clue where he was going and for the last hour or so had been merely looking out for a world that matched the picture from the book he read.

“ I think maybe we should have… taken a left turn at… Halloween town….” He was completely and utterly lost.

“Please don’t make me carry you” he said with an eye roll.

"You....what....," the darkness was starting to stir. If there was any solid ground nearby the floor would've been shaking with the Heartless low hiss. The only other noise from the Heartless was a series of animalistic low growls from different animals making it highly distinctive. Caressing his head, the Earth Titan forced himself to stop.

“Please don’t make me carry you”

"I don't think you're in a bloody position for making requests, DILAN," his name was emphasized heavily as the Heartless lept on his back. "Now you are going to carry me, continue to walk until you find a shadow insight to ask for direction, and be able to take me back home after we're through with this to remind me to crush a-"

The yawn interrupted his sentence, and his eyes narrowed sharply. He should've stayed asleep.

Damn you Dilan

[darkunslint]

He didn’t need to look behind him to be able to feel the anger that was radiating from Elaeus. “ Ask for directions?” he quoted almost comically.

The next bit he was not expecting. Saying he was in no place to be asking of things he was about to reply but all that happened was as follows, “ why its not like yo—“ after that all that could be heard was “urgh” as the earth titan plummeted on top of the typhoon angler. “What /are/ you doing? Piggy backing?”

With a great sigh he continued walking with the titan upon his back, walking along the realm of darkness for what seemed like an eternity, probably around 2 hours before finally he saw it, poking his head out was the large castle, he poked Elaeus, wondering if he had fallen asleep on his back. “ We are here” and with that he let his arms go from the titans legs, letting him fall.

“You are … heavy,” he complained before stepping out of the dark portal and into the courtyard of a fairly sized castle. “Lets get started” Dilan commanded.

Elaeus had fallen asleep not having a reason to be uptight and defensive as his mule carried him across the dark realm until he abruptly fell to the floor. Eyes opened wide feeling a descent and a crash. "GAAH!"

Rubbing his elbows, a daggered glare was thrown at the back of Dilan with an irritated pained groan. The Earth Titan snorted at him hearing, “You are … heavy.”

"No, you just don't have the stamina." Standing back up, Elaeus followed behind exiting the dark portal. "Are you certain this is it, since there are other existing princesses in this universe."

[darkunslint]

Elaeus was saying about his stamina. “ Stamina? You’re the one that can’t stay awake” he chuckled as he walked towards the castle, opening the large castle doors and walking into the foyer. “ Yes, I am sure this is the right place, I saw pictures. I remember the well out there.” He stated ever so matter-of-factly as he walked up the stairs towards the large corridors.

“Chances are she will be in a bedroom” he said almost too himself walking around the corridors aimlessly searching for a bedroom, “ tell me what you find” he said as he began walking around the corridors upstairs and occasionally peaking around the edges of doors.

This was obviously going to be a tedious job, finding her would be a pain but worth it.

Now that he was hopefully out of sight of the earth titan the angler flicked his hand down, summoning a group of 10 Snag Propeller. The snag propellers span up into the air, taking the order of “ Find the me the princess of heart and don’t let anyone see you” they span around in a circle before disappearing into the realm of darkness. Hopefully Elaeus wasn’t paying attention and didn’t see that.

The snag propellers are jellyfish like in nature, their symbol pasted on their jellylike bodies. They had long tentacles that obviously had a lot of strong muscles and could easily strangle people with them. There mouths on the base of the jellyfish was edged with sharp teeth obviously these heartless where revolved around rotating their tentacles to propel themselves in any of the 360 degrees using the air.

Its not that he didn’t trust Elaeus, but Dilan's heartless where quite private to him, he didn’t want people knowing about his powers.

I wouldn't be sleepy if a particular individual didn't wake me up... Elaeus kept his comment to himself. The last thing needed was heated exchange of words, especially when they were intruding.

"A bedroom? You sound more like a stalker than ever," The Earth Titan muttered as he scanned the enivornment. Were they truly going to look through every room and corridor. Following behind he walked up the stairs not knowing exactly where to search. At the top of the stairs, he found himself alone. It seemed typical of Dilan to run off. He didn't felt like questioning it including the new darkness that was in the premesis. Like a dog, his nose twitched and the unfamiliarity before snorting.

There's no need to be distracted... Kneeling down on the ground, he touched the floor. Perhaps this would speed up the process. His eyes slanted as his hand turned into claws as Elaeus tried to listen to any vibrations wiggling throughout the castle. "There are guards not too far from here..."

[darkunslint]

Dilan had stood there for what must have been several minutes before a snag propeller formed in front of him. “ Show me what you know” Dilan instructed and the heartless let out a terrifying and loud scream of a squawk. One that would make your ears tingle for several seconds, Dilan however did not flinch, this was HIS heartless and that was their language. “ Guards? Guards are to protect things.”

Dilan stood there for a few seconds before continuing his self speech “ Guards guard things… like princess’s” he smirked evilly before flicking his hand to the side and opening a dark portal. The snag propeller quickly flew through it, “ Take me to these guards” Dilan instructed and with another, slightly quieter squawk the snag propeller zoomed off and Dilan followed.

The Dark portal formed up just around the corner from the guards. Good, they couldn’t see him yet, this was working out nicely. They seemed to be split into two groups of 4 making 8 in total. The first group was closer to him than the other group.

Walking slowly around the corner the guards instantly looked up at him and shouted. “ Who the – This is a restricted area” Dilan let out a small smirk before clicking a finger, 4 snag propellers from earlier formed near him.

“HEARTLESS” the guard shouted but it was far too late, the 4 snag propellers had bound themselves to their targets. Two propellers per guard, two of the guards fell to the floor, slowly being consumed by the propellers toothy grasp.

“ Now do you see the foolishness of your ways?” Dilan spoke as his hand flung up above the third guard forming a harpoon into the sky, this fell down ripping into the guard’s back that had to hurt.

Dilan stared at the forth guard, now the only one left to fight, the guard clumsily charged at Dilan, swiping at him but Dilan easily moved out of the way. Admittedly this poor guard had no chance of hitting Dilan, if he had been paying attention Dilan was actually hovering slightly, using the air to move him at inhuman speeds.

“The weak should just… DISAPEAR” he screamed almost psychotically at the guard as Dilan's arm flinged out at the guard, giving him a good well aimed blast of concentrated air, the guard flew through the air, crashing into a wall before falling down it and landing face first on the floor, probably not dead.

Elaues began walking towards the source of vibrations that led to a corridor. A loud squawk irritated his ears, and his eyes narrowed before sweeping the area. Where in the worlds had the came from? It was loud enough to attract others including the inhabitants of this world. The Earth Titan groaned in annoyance silently; he didn't came here to abruptly disturb the peace, but disturbances always seemed to follow Heartless.

HEARTLESS!

The sound of clashing and struggle was audible as he turned the corner. There before him was Dilan demolishing a quartet a soldiers around him with another pair of four marched forward to assist their fallen comrades. It seemed that they knew of the heartless, then again it would be ignorant of Snow White to keep them in the dark. Still with this world not being a target it was literally being raped by the presence of darkness.

The weake should just...DISAPPEAR!"

The Earth Titan distasted being messy when it didn't call for it, and the last thing needed was more witnesses to be able to identify Dilan. Standing behind the four, three began to charge at the crazed Heartless. The ordered one to call for back up. With a flex of his fingers, three seperate shards of diamonds flew forth puncturing the soldiers mess.

He didn't watch them fall to the floor hearing the landing as he grabbed the soldier who was supposed to call for help. "I have another purpose for you."

Digging his hand in his chest, the Heartless tainted the other's heart before stealing it. Throwing the heart on the floor, it illuminated black before turning into a heartless. Walking away from it, Elaeus grabbed Dilan by the collar to get away from the scene of mass murder.

"There they will have something to blame. I'm growing tired of cleaning your messes. You just have to get attention...bloody attention whore."

[darkunslint]

Dilan looked up just in time to see Elaeus grab and pull him away. “ Attention whore? Me? Bah, I was just having fun.” He stated, they where in a room with no door but the one they came from.

“This must be her room? This is the room the guards where outside right?” he glanced around once but there was no sign of snow white. “ I guess we could just wait for her…” he stated and slowly took a seat on a large puffy.

Several minutes later Dilan had already become bored. He got up and began examining the room, he observed the plant pot and puffy and bed, finally he came to a mirror. Looking at himself and slightly adjusting his dreadlocks he spoke to Elaeus whilst still glaring at his reflection. “ I wonder if this is Snow Whites room.”

”The room of the princess snow white this be,
The snow has drifted to the dwarves and left me.”

“What in –“ he glanced around, a harpoon already in his hands. “ Who the hell said that?!?”

[Ellie who has 0%]

Folding his arms over his chest, Elaeus entered the previously guarded room. She wasn't here. "It seem quite a waste to guard a queen-less room. If they were guarding it there should be something worth guiding. Obvious Snow White isn't it."

“ I wonder if this is Snow Whites room.”

"You read my-"

”The room of the princess snow white this be,
The snow has drifted to the dwarves and left me.”

Hearing himself getting cut off, his eyes narrowed knowing that wasn't Dilan's voice who replied. Tiger claws covered his fist as his head turned to Dilan's tense stance. Before them was an oval long mirror, the interior was black except the black flaming mist that coated a green masquerade mask face. "Obvious Dilan...it's a mirror...a talking on at that..."

[darkunslint]

Dilan quickly span on his feel to face the mirror. “So it is.” He spoke ever so matter of factly. “ Is this what the guards where protecting then? A bloody mirror?” he said. “ A mirror that talks, why is that worth guarding?” he asked no one but the mirror quickly replied

“ To guard an item with such power
Answer any question in any tower.
Once used by an evil crone,
Now I never use this tone.”

Even Dilan could figure this bit out. “ Answer any question ey?” he said yet again matter of factly. “ What is my name?”

“ Dilan is your name
Underneath your image you are tame.
You lust for power and eternal fame
Do you still think I don’t know your name?”

“Why you—“ she spoke before cutting off and realising what he had discovered. “Elaeus… this mirror knows everything.” He spoke slowly before continuing, “ This mirror… is a real annoying bit—“

[Ellie who has 0%]

"Well that's not any news." Elaeus snickered, while tugging Dilan's cheek. "You totally freak out over a hug. It's only annoying because it knows enough about you."

It was amusing seeing Dilan's annoyance, but the Earth Titan was concered with this lust of his. Lust was dangerous, and some don't have any boundaries to achieve it.

"You are quite the unique artifact. You are able to annoy Dilan. Tell me, why does Dilan find you annoying? Is it true you know everything or is it just somethings? And don't mind Dilan's hostility, I would say he doesn't like to be read like a book."

[darkunslint]

I do not know I merely answer
The question you ask could be of any kind.
Ones that maybe speak of the light dancer.
Seek and ye shall find.

Dilan was unsure what to do, it was answering the question Elaeus had asked, there where things that must not be known yet, there must be a way to stop this from being known but how?

Lust is a dreadful thing
Just remember to care for words you fling.
The fisherman wants to be—

Dilan was stuttering badly, he had to stop this, but how? Then it came to him. “ What rhymes with purple?” he spoke slowly as to draw out the question. The mirror stopped speaking.

Purple is a world of its own
It cannot rhyme so is alone.

“So you can’t rhyme it,” Dilan said smugly as he glanced over at Elaeus. “ What?” he said as he laughed half heartedly, that had been a close call.

[Ellie who has 0%]

The Earth Titan stared at the mirror drinking every word. His concentration was thick until Dilan dare to ask another question. Not amused, he glared at Dilan before arching a brow. "Does Dilan really wants to me to answer that question and why or why not?"

Elaeus walked up towards The Typhoon Angler resisting the temptation to push him against the wall and sealing him to it. He didn't even dare ask Dilan a single question. Although his eyes were blocked, they held disappointment. "Hm, let's stay on task and not ask idiotic question. Where's Snow White exactly at this very moment?"

"This mirror may annoy you, but I'm not leaving it here."
