Author's note: I need to explain something right now. This is the first part of a series called
"The Chronicles of Gaea" Which I made up. Also, I put the prolog and part 1 together because
the prolog is short.
The Chronicles of Gaea I: Wishes Do Come True
Prolog
We were just a bunch of normal teens, there was me, Mirai, my boyfriend Konran, my best friend Namida and her boyfriend Ninmu, there was also our friends Kisoteke and his girlfriend Moechae. We all hang out together, some people even say we're a gang. Anyway, we never anything as strange as this would ever happen.
We were hanging out at my house, talking as usual and we got on the topic of wishes. Namida brought up a show we used to watch, Escaflowne, and she always wished it were real and she could go there. I told them how I always wanted to be able to talk to animals and to understand animals. Konran wouldn't tell us his wish, I didn't want to push him away so I didn't force him to talk. I found out later what his wish was. I kinda liked it, NO! Not that!!
Any ways we were all talking and no-one noticed the dark clouds rolling across the sky.
My dog suddenly went nuts and started barking like she would never bark again. I went to calm
her down and finally did calm her down, but she was still jumpy. I went back to the others and
sat on Konran's lap. Namida grabbed my arm, we were all surrounded by blue light and I
blacked out. Then I woke up here with Konran. This is the story of me and my friends on Gaea!
Part 1
Konran groaned and sat up. Mirai was lying across his lap . . . at least he thought it was Mirai. She was slim, with long, dark hair that was pulled up into a ponytail and the ends curled in ringlets. She was wearing a long skirt with slits to the thigh on both sides and a tight tank top. On top of that she was wearing a long black cloak, everything else she was wearing was also black. She mumbled something and opened her eyes. When she saw her new outfit she screamed.
"What happened to me?!" She shouted.
Konran stood up and helped her to her feet. "I think it looks great, just what I wished for."
She smiled. "At least I don't look like a vampire . . ." She trailed off. "What was your wish, remember you wouldn't tell us when we were talking at my house?"
He blushed slightly. "I wished you looked like that and that I was a vampire, you look like that cause you said vampires were kinky . . . it sorta stuck in my head."
Mirai shook her head. "Where are the others . . . where are we for that matter?"
Konran shrugged. "Guess we better start walking."
Mirai leaned on his shoulder as they started walking. She heard a rustle nearby in the trees, considering they were surrounded by trees it was pretty easy to hide. A large wolf stepped out from behind a tree and walked up to her. It sat at her feet and gave her a funny look.
"Are you looking for something . . . or perhaps some place, you seem lost? Could I help you in some way?" It asked.
Mirai gave a surprised gasp. She understood everything it said, but when she looked at Konran, she knew that she was the only one who could here the wolf. "Uh, yes actually, we lost our friends and were wondering if there was a city nearby or a place to stay."
The wolf seemed to smile. "I haven't seen anymore people like you, but there is a city near here, Fanelia is to the west. Its not that far. By the way my name is Bear Paw."
"Thank-you Bear Paw, my names Mirai, I hope I'll see you again." She told him.
"Yes that would be nice. I'll see ya later!" He called running into the trees.
Konran stood watching amused. He laughed when he saw the confused look on Mirai's face. "So which way going wolf speaker?"
"Haha. Your so funny. We're going west to Fanelia, Dracula." She answered grinning.
"You know your not funny, right?" He teased. "Think we'll run into any of the others?"
Mirai sighed. "Fanelia, that's off of Escaflowne, if we're all spread through Fanelia yeah, we'll probably meet up with everyone. If we're spread all over Gaea we might have a little more trouble."
* * *
Namida sighed and looked around again. Ninmu was leaning against a tree looking out over a stone city. Namida figured out that it was Fanelia after looking at it for a few minutes. She guessed the others must have ended up in different places.
"Lets go into the city, maybe someone can help us find the others." She suggested. "Hey, I just thought of something. My wish came true, but you never got the chance to tell me what your wish was and if it came true or not."
He looked up and smiled softly. "My only wish, is never to be without you."
She grabbed his hand and they started walking down the hill they were on. When the reached the gate at the bottom a guard stopped them. They explained quickly where they were from and why they were here. The guard sent word to the palace and a little while later Merle ran up to them.
"Are you here to see Lord Van?!" She cried.
"Yes, will you take us to him? We need his help finding our friends." Namida told Merle.
Merle shrugged. "Okay . . . are you from the Mystic Moon?" She asked quickly. "I was just wondering cause Lord Van has a friend there."
They started walking and Namida answered the question. "Yeah, we are from the Mystic Moon, your talking about Hitomi right? We don't know her. Sorry."
Merle nodded and led them to a large room where they found Van sitting at the window, swinging Hitomi's pendant, which started to glow as Namida approached him. He jumped up and eyed them suspiciously. Merle explained who they were and Van relaxed a little.
"Do you know Hitomi, is she with you?" He asked hopefully.
Namida shook her head. "No Van, I'm sorry. We need your help though. Our friends are spread through out Gaea, at least that's what we think."
He sighed. "Yes, I'll help you find them. Merle, could you send word to Asturia and tell Allen that we're looking for four teens."
"Sure thing!" She called running off.
Van sat down again. "You're welcome to stay as long as you like."

Kisoteke made the fire appear in his hand again. Ever since him and Moechae got to what he guessed was Gaea, they had special abilities, abilities they both wished for. He could control fire and she could do witch craft. Allen came into the room they wee waiting in with a note. Allen was going to help Kisoteke and Moechae find the others.
"We just received word from Fanelia, that two of your friends are there. They want everyone to meet there, so we will leave in the Crusade whenever you're ready." He announced.
"Does it say whose there?" Moechae asked.
Allen read over the note again. "Yes, It says Namida and Ninmu."
Kisoteke grinned. "Ah yes, our most faithful couple. Nobody will ever split those two apart." He and Moechae both started laughing.
"We should go now, so we can get there before dark." Allen stopped. "You're from the Mystic Moon. Do you happen to know Hitomi?" Allen asked trying not to show hope.
"Nope, sorry." They both apologized.
Allen nodded sadly and led them to the Crusade. Soon they were headed to Fanelia to meet Namida and Ninmu. Down below in the forests Mirai and Konran were having a little more luck getting to Fanelia.

Mirai held onto the unicorn's mane tightly. "Your positive you know where your going?" She asked.
"Yes!" He called back. "I know Gaea better then any creature in the forest." He jumped a fallen log and continued to run. "You know, I don't usually let people see me. I hide in the woods, but then again I can talk to you so you must be trustworthy, you're the only human I know that can talk to animals!"
A few minutes later they came to the crest of the hill. Fanelia stood before them, a great stone city. The unicorn snorted and started down the hill. Mirai laughed but Konran gave the unicorn a questioning look. They rode up to the gate and the guard let them in right away. A shadow covered the ground and Mirai looked up as the Crusade passed over head. They raced through the city and to the palace. They found Namida and Ninmu waiting for the Crusade to land. The unicorn, whose name they later found out was Blue(because of his blue mane and horn), went out back to munch on grass.
When Namida saw Mirai she was shocked. "What happened to you?!" She cried.
Mirai glanced at Konran and shook her head. "Don't ask." She looked over at the Crusade.
Kisoteke and Moechae were running towards the group. Soon theyw ere all standing there chattering. Allen and Van stood watching the happy teens.

Intermission--Mirai
We were too, we had our one wish, we were together but there were still people unhappy.
We were from Earth and so was Hitomi. Van and Allen both missed her a lot. Van loved her,
and Allen loved her like a sister. We didn't realize till later why we were sent here. The funny
thing was, we weren't sent here for our sake.
Author's note: So what do you think of the first part of the first chronicle? There are still two
more parts, so don't worry. And you don't have to worry about sequel, cause there is. Please,
review. Oh, I have to say this. Nobody can say my names aren't original! Hahaha!
