Author's notes: Hello everyone, this is my very first fanfic and I deiceded to continue the story of Escaflowne since I like so many others, are dying to see Van and Hitomi together. Hope you like it and please leave comments on what you think of whether I should continue the story or not. Cherrios.
PS: All italics are her thoughts.
Chapter 1 Never Really Gone
Grandma, Grandma!" the little girl shouted.
"Tell us a tale of the Great Fanelia!" she said excitedly.
"Dear child, why are ye so eager…?" asked the grandmother as she sat down on her rocking chair. " Well I did promise you, so…
Once upon a time Hitomi Kanzaki met Van Fanel. It was written in the stars that they would meet. It was fate that brought them together.
Hitomi, Van's pas love from the mystic moon has helped him, along with others, defeat the Zibach Empire. She has decided to go back to earth, known to the people of Gaea as the Mystic Moon, but what she doesn't realize is that after 5 long years, fate would once again, bring them together.
It has been long, way too long since the last time I have seen Van she thought to herself as she lay on her bed.
The streets were engulfed in darkness. The gentle spring drizzle hit Hitomi's face through her open window and soon she stepped out of her daydreaming.
She continued her trail of thoughts, it has been 5 years since I have seen Van, King of Fanelia. Yet somewhere it puzzles me how everything I see reminds me of him. Could it be.. (she thought with excitement) he's CALLING OUT TO ME!.. Or perhaps it's due to the current events and will once again entangle the two worlds together.
Turns on TV, Blurry images
TV Reporter: Due to these current events, all citizens are asked to stay at home till further notices. It has been shown that all over the world, some strange astronomical planet has blocked the sun. This phenomenal has been occurring for the past week and many scientists suggest…
Hitomi turns the TV off
I must be just stressed. Visiting Amano today must have brought back these memories of Van and of Allen and of Gaea.
Slowly her thoughts faded away and she fell asleep. Morning soon arrived yet the world was still pitch black. Hitomi took out her taro cards and decided perhaps it was time to do a reading.
She approached her drawer with hesitation. She took out her dusty cards.
She flips.
The card Il Mondo. The card of the world.
The second card L'Amore. The card of old lovers, she was frightened to continue her reading.
The third card Il Guidizio. The card of judgment.
She knew now that the world was trouble and that the old lovers, meaning herself and Van would be under judgment yet it was still unclear to her what kind of trouble the world was going to encounter and how would she ever see Van again to tell him about these things. She continued her reading.
The fourth card La Luna, the next Il Sole, and then next La Stella all related to the world and the astronomical phenomenal that is occurring.
The seventh and the last card were cards that brought Hitomi into tears.
L' imperatore and…. and…….. La Morte.
The emperor…. And………………………THE DEATH
She knew exactly what this meant. Something terrible was going to happen to Van again and at the moment, the same light shone from the stars like so long ago swifted Hitomi off and into the darkness.
