The Dragon Riders Meet the Draconians
1. Going Home
The Race track was dark and quiet. The moonlit sky was full of twinkling stars. One of the stars got brighter and brighter until suddenly a pillar of light descended and landed on the track. A young man about 17 was floating in the pillar when he touched down gently on the track. As soon as he was down, the light flickered and died. Just then a young woman about 17 came running onto the track and went racing into the man's arms.
"Van! I'm so Happy your here!"
The man now identified as Van laughed and swung her around.
"I'm happy to see you too, Hitomi."
He set her down gently, staring into her eyes. Before either knew what was happening, they were kissing passionately. They finally separated, panting. They were both beaming.
"I love you," Van said softly.
"I love you, too," Hitomi said, her eyes shining in the moonlight.
They met in another searing kiss. When they parted Van got down on one knee, took something out of his pocket and presented it to her.
"Will you marry me?"
Hitomi was shocked, but only for a couple seconds. Then she leapt on him ecstatically.
"YES!"
Van reverently put the ring on Hitomi's finger. Then he swept her into his arms and swung her around, again, with Hitomi laughing brightly. He set her down gently, but kept his hands on her waist.
"Would you like to leave now, or do you want to say goodbye to your family first?"
"My brother is the only one who didn't disown me when I returned the last time. We already said our goodbye's. However, before we go, I have a secret to show you.
She stepped back, closed her eyes and suddenly from her back emerged two gloriously white wings. With silver on the edge of the wings. Van gaped. He caught one of the feathers floating through the air from her wings. It was real alright. Just then Hitomi pulled her wings back in. Van was still gaping and could only utter one word: How? Hitomi smiled.
"I discovered them soon after I came back. I taught myself how to fly. You're not upset are you," she asked suddenly worried.
"Of course not! They just add to your beauty. Are you ready to go now?"
"Yes, I'm ready to return home."
Van smiled at the fact that she had called Gaea her home and raised the Drag energist over his head. The pillar came down and engulfed them. It lifted them up into the sky, back home. Suddenly something happened to the pillar. It flickered, then part of it broke off and headed in another direction. Van and Hitomi wondered what was going on. Before they could dwell on it, they were swept up to Gaea and home.
