Chapter: Dune (04)
Chapter 9:
She had spent the first 10 years of her childhood with an old woman in seclusion. Wrapped in a blanket, it was placed in front of their door and the old woman was asked in a letter, Dune, that was her real name, to instruct her in the art of magic and to take good care of her. "So it is true, the prophecy is coming true!" the old woman had said when she looked at the little girl with the silver hair. In addition to the letter, there was another package. A silver chain was wrapped in brown parchment and the old one had immediately known what it was. She had smiled. "I will do my best! ".
The years had passed and Dune had shown herself to be a good and obedient student. She had quickly learned to control and use her powers. After 9 years of hard training, she was almost perfect and the old woman had nothing left to teach her.
Besides that, she had learned to read, do arithmetic and write from her, and Dune's thirst for knowledge grew ever greater. She was particularly fond of the plants and animals, she wanted to know everything about them. In many walks through the forest, the old woman had shown her all the medicinal herbs and plants and animals that could be used for magic. Duna had learned how to mix the potions properly and how to cancel their effects.
Shortly before her 10th birthday, she went into the forest again with the old woman and asked her if she could go to a real school. "You should even, my child. You will spend your birthday with me, then I will seal your strength to protect you. In a week you will have your first day of school in a convent school outside of the forest. I already have with sister Irenia everything agreed. You will also live there and earn a bit of money for later in the village. There is nothing more I can teach you, my task is done!", she had replied. Dune had just looked at her confused and was really excited about her birthday. The old woman wouldn't explain the meaning of her words to her any sooner, she knew that.
On the evening of her 10th birthday, the old woman had put on a chain that seemed to be made of flowing silver and had a green stone in the middle. When she closed the chain, the ends melted together and the stone began to glow. Dune felt a jolt and when she looked in the mirror she was completely changed. At first she was very scared, also because she felt that all her magical abilities had disappeared. "Do not be afraid, dear child! This is just for your protection! There are many magical beings in the universe, including some very bad ones, and your power attracts them. Your name is Diana from now on and you will not attract attention with this appearance Do not tell anyone about your skills and do not try to open the seal!"She had pointed to the chain." Protect it, because whoever tries to open it will die a terrible death and burn forever in hell. Only one will be able to open it. Your time will come, dear, and until then you will have a normal life. "
The words of the old people had haunted her everywhere and she had never had a relationship with a boy for fear that he might touch the seal and die.
The next morning she ran for the village with a bundle and a letter to Sister Irenia. The old woman had shed a few tears as she parted and hugged her protégé. When Diana turned around again, the old woman and her house were gone.
So she spent the next 9 years in this monastery. She studied hard and helped the nuns with their garden work. At the age of 12 she took her first job in the village and made close friendships there.
The monastery had become her home and she had resigned herself to having lost her strength.The hard and simple work and the school, as well as the interaction with the people formed her character and produced a calm and fine mind. Nobody had discovered her temperament by then, everyone had treated her as she deserved and nobody had brought her to test her fluency when it came to swear words.
She found these years to be the most beautiful of her life.
At 19, she moved to the city. Her interest in animals and plants had increased a lot and she decided to study biology. The money she had earned was enough for a large apartment with furniture and for board and rent for a year. So she found accommodation in Satan City and enrolled in the university.
Saying goodbye was again very difficult for her and she cried when her best friend presented her with the parting present.
The first few months in the city passed very quickly and she had found a job again.She enjoyed her studies and achieved excellent results almost everywhere - only those in ecology were not so good.
She had been ambushed twice during the four years in the city. The first time the thief hadn't found her chain and only took her money. She, or rather he was lucky. The second didn't get off so lightly ...
-------------------------------------------------- -------------
"And you really just resigned yourself to having lost your strength?" Asked Dende. "Yes, I thought I wouldn't get it again. I didn't need it either. I was happy with what I had: friends, good performances and a roof over my head. I didn't want anything anymore." - "Tse!" came from Piccolo, he was far from impressed with her story. He also grieved that his future student seemed to give up so easily. It would be hard work to instill ambition, at least he thought so.He didn't know how ambitious she was.
He got up, knowing everything he wanted to know, he would test her powers later. He was just about to leave the room when: "Wait, I also have a few more questions!" He just looked at her blankly and grimly. "Who are you? I now know that your name is Piccolo, but that doesn't say much about you. I would be interested to know where your hatred comes from ..." he yelled in response and stormed out of the room. Again she had asked a personal question, and so purposefully ... His reaction was more of a surprise. 'How does she know?'
"Oh Piccolo. Don't be sad Dune, he's always like that. That was certainly not meant personally. He will surely open up to you, I even know that. He's just trying to hide his insecurity, after all, you're his student now." Dune smiled, 'I know!'
"How did you know earlier that my real name is Dune?" - "When Piccolo discovered you yesterday morning, in the incident with the thief, he spent the whole night in the library and read through old books. When I did In addition, he had found what he was looking for, The Seal, or rather its description, and read it to me, which made me curious and later looked up other books and discovered the legend of Dune.
I recognized you earlier on the balcony, you look exactly like the girl in the picture. But enough now. You should rest. Tomorrow is a tough day for you. Piccolo is a strict teacher! "With these words Dende got up and left the room.
Chapter 10: First Lesson
To Dune's surprise, she fell asleep very quickly. She hadn't dreamed anything and the next morning she felt strangely well rested. The first thing she looked for was a bath.She had noticed that there was another door in her room and the room beyond it turned out to be a very spacious bathroom. Amazed, she looked around the large, bright room while she took off her dress and went to the shampoos and shower baths. After showering and brushing her teeth, she put the now crumpled dress back on and looked critically at herself in the mirror.
"I can't go out like that! Let's see if it still works.", She concentrated briefly and when she looked in the mirror again, her hair was pinned up and she was wearing a light blue tank top and black capri pants. Over the top she still had a tight-fitting black jacket, the zipper of which was open. "Well, please! The only thing missing is socks and shoes.", And the next moment she was wearing socks and sneakers.
'I'm slowly enjoying the strength again! I just have to be careful that I don't even accidentally undress someone ... ', she left her room with a smile and started looking for something to eat.
As she turned the first corner, she spotted Dende running straight towards her. "Good morning, Dende!" - "Good morning Dune. Did you sleep well? Where did you get those things all at once? Oh I know, Piccolo can do that too, by the way. You're sure to be hungry. Please follow me, Popo is already taken care of everything. "
Without interrupting the little Namek's torrent of speech, she ran after him and was amazed when she saw the richly set table in the dining room. "Wow, who's supposed to eat all that? You couldn't even do it with eight people!" - "That's all for you. We Namekians don't eat. The only thing we need is water. By the way, there are people who only do all of this Eat it as a starter, but you'll get to know them later. "-" She already knows someone! ", suddenly came from behind them. A short, pitch-black man stood and smiled cheerfully at them. "Oh, may I introduce? This is Popo, my servant. If you have a wish, just turn to him.But Popo, who do you mean? "-" You know Gohan, don't you? He's also a Saiyan. He munch a lot when hungry! ", Dune didn't know what to say anymore, where she got caught. Obviously she was surrounded by a lot of freaks. At that moment she didn't think that she was one too ...
Finally she went over the many fruits that were piled up on the large platters on the table. Then she ate two more toasts and was satisfied.
"You should go to Piccolo now. He's probably already very impatient. You can find him outside, on the platform. Best get out of here." He had already opened one of the large patio doors and showed her the direction in which she was going had to go.
