Hello! My name is Kyo's Querida and this is my first story. The idea popped into my head a while ago and I decided to finally write it down on paper. I'd like to thank my co-author and dear friend numba neko93 who helped me write this, you really were a great help.

I hope you all enjoy!

And before I forget

Disclaimer: I don't Escaflowne or any of it's characters i just write about them.

Prologue:

Why has my life spiraled down so much? Four years ago when I first lost my mental connection with Van I told myself I could get through it. I thought he'd become a better king without me reminding him and keeping him in his past. That's what I thought. But my life has become horrible. I've spiraled down into a hole so deep I don't know if I can get out.

When I came back to Earth Yukari and I drifted apart. I later found, when I was eighteen that she ran away with Amano. I could deal with that, however, not my to surprise, many did not believe my story of Gaea and when they saw me talking to the wind the year I did keep in contact with Van people started wondering what had happened. About two month's after I lost contact with Van my father was killed in a car accident.

That was the last straw for my mother in between losing a husband she had to deal with a crazy daughter. She finally couldn't take my ramblings anymore and sent me to a physiatrist. However the physiatrist did everything in her power to convince me that Gaea never existed. After a while I did go through a period where I was convinced that there was no Gaea. That it was all in my mind. However, that only lasted for a year because soon my mother and brother were killed in a hold up at a bank. After their death I had started to believe in Gaea again because they were technically the only people I had left.

I tried to get through it but really all that brought were abusive relationships and dead end jobs. So I was poor, abused, depressed and suicidal thoughts kept running through my head. I needed to get back. I needed to see them all again.

So I gathered my tarot cards and left my small, ratty apartment and went to where I first saw him or rather collided with him. And I pictured him in my head. I thought of his face, his cinnamon red eyes, his wild black hair, and I prayed and wished so hard to be back in Gaea. And then a blinding white pillar of light shot down from the sky and I knew I was going home.

Okay guys thats the prologue. I know it's short but please bear with me. I swear it will get better. I would appreciate it I got a review or two. I hope you enjoyed it and if you did review. Even if you didn't please just review so I can know whether to go on or not.

Thanks for reading!
