As the gentle breeze of the wind flowed through the trees, birds flew up high in the skies urging those who saw them to begin a new journey. A young girl laid down among the long grass looking up at them with many thoughts going through her mind. It had been a few years now she had been on a journey and she had gained many companions and friends along the way. She wondered about the things she had seen, the things she might see next that were still unknown to her. She began to sing a song a traveler once sang to her as if they had become parts of her very own soul. She sang each note with all her heart as the wind gently carried them in the air spreading them around in the trees for many miles.
"Your eyes are a mirror in which I can see the world's reflection . . . Without forgetting your kindness . . . even if my heart is full of sad words . . . I will stare long and hard at the stars . . . " (A/N: Song original Kino sang to her as a child episode four if your wondering. )
She though she was alone as she was singing she began to hear footsteps come closer to her so she pulled a hold of her pistol pointing it in the direction of footsteps waiting to see what would emerge from the dark woods. She had left early in the morning from her camp site and was sure that no one seen her leave. She had someone a habit of walking up early and wondering off on her own or with Hermes as of lately.
"Who's there?" she asked as a figure of a lady came out. The lady wore a beautifully decorated robe that was pure white with golden laces around it. Her long brown hair hung down to her side loosely tied together with a red ribbon. She had bright emerald green eyes as she looked at the young girl before her. Kino guessed she was probably around her late twenties cause her face was beginning to show a small amount of age. Kino put away her pistol to her side back in its pocket as the lady smiled at her kindly.
"I wasn't expecting a guest in my country today." She said still with the same gentle smile. "You many come with me to the village" She urged Kino by taking her hand. Kino tired to pulled her hand out of hers but her grip held onto her tightly. "But, my companions!" Kino urged her to let her go. "They are unimportant right now. You must come with me now." She pulled Kino along with her toward a small village.
Kino went to pull her pistol out went she noticed it wasn't there anymore. She began to feel frightened not knowing what was going on. All of her weapons seemed to be missing. She looked back the lady that was pulling her that had begun to glow. "What's going on?" Kino yelled. "Let me go! Let me go!" she screamed again.
When they finally arrived the gate behind them closed as the forest on the other side vanished. The lady then let go of Kino and Kino fell backward from trying to free herself from her gripped. She ran to the gate trying to open it went she noticed it got all white on the other side and the forest that had been there was no more.
- Camp Site -
Back at the camp Shizu woke up with Riku at his feet and noticed Kino had once again gone missing. He wondered what she did the mornings she left alone without telling anyone. He got out of his tent and noticed she hadn't taken Hermes with her this time. He looked around for a bit with Riku. He went over to Hermes and hit him over the headlight. "Wake up!" He ordered.
Hermes began to feel a little angry when Shizu hit him. Kino always tapped him gently and never that hard. "Careful! Your going to break me!" He yelled back. Shizu laughed as Hermes yelled back at him. "Sorry!" He apologized. "But, I was just wondering if you saw where Kino went. She usually took you with her and went she goes alone she doesn't go out too far, but I can't seem to find her anywhere!"
"Kino! Where are you?" Hermes yelled. They listened for a bit but there was no answer. "Nope, she's not anywhere around here." He announced. "I kind of knew that." Shizu said still covering his ears from Hermes' loud voice. They began packing their belongings hopping she would show up back soon.
- Country -
Back at the country Kino turned toward the mysterious lady that took her and made the things around her vanish. "What's going on here? What do you want with me and why did you take me away from my friends?" Kino asked. The lady looked at her and answered: "This is the land of Times of Separation. When one feels the need to be separated from someone, we bring them here to stay with us. Now come with me." She ordered to Kino. Kino began to wonder more about this country so she followed the lady in hopes of finding out more about this country and about its magic.
