Prologue
Earth
As the blue stream of light came down from the sky, a young man stopped dead in his track.
*Hitomi* Amono thought.
He ran through the schoolyard to the track. He found her lying on the ground, asleep. Amono knelt down and gently took her in his arms and carried her home.
Gaea
The raven-haired boy watched as the stream of blue light evaporated into nothingness.
"Why Lord Van, why? Why did you let her go?"
Van turned toward the youthful cat-girl and said, " She had to go. She couldn't stay. Being here caused her too much pain."
"But Lord Van coul..." Merle was about to ask a question when Van interrupted.
"No matter what we want, it was her decision!"
And with that he left for Fanalia's ruins to think of a way to rebuild his beloved country.
