ESCAFLOWNE:
LINK TO THE FUTURE:
CHAPTER ONE:
Hitomi sat up on her bed drawing her knees up and hugging them. If only she could've stayed with Von.if only they didn't have to leave, but Von had a Kingdom to run and Hitomi had her family here, she couldn't stay away forever.
Why did fate have to be so cruel? After giving in her tarot she stared at the moon.and she remembered all those times in Fenelia. And always she'd think about Von. She was very near to finishing school....but after that she was still lost. Without Von....what did Hitomi have anyway?
~*************~
Von looked up at the mystic moon, wondering if Hitomi was looking right back at him..........
Soon he would have to find a wife to produce an heir.but his heart was promised to another. He had his responsibilities and so did Hitomi.but how he missed everything about her. Her voice, laughter, her eyes.............her very presence.
No bride anywhere could ever match up to Hitomi. Fate did not look up to him certainly.
~*************~
"Hey!" A girl with navy blue hair and dark eyes called. "Excuse me.......could you help me? I don't know where I'm going!"
Hitomi turned around and her heart stopped. It could easily have been Von standing there, this girl looked exactly like him.although she had a red shirt on and it wasn't at all the same make as Von's or the same design, it could have been Von.
Maybe Hitomi was missing him that little bit more recently.
"Oh...I guess you're new here." Hitomi said.
The girl looked around the streets. "I know....I'm here for a while......but would you know somebody called......Hitomi by any chance?"
Hitomi stared at the girl, wondering how she knew her. "I am Hitomi."
The girl stepped back and gave Hitomi a full looking over, her eyes amazed. "So.....you're Hitomi....I can't believe it....."
Hitomi back away nervously.
"I'm sorry if I scare you.....I just......wanted to talk to you....maybe our relatives know you but....I've always wanted to meet you in person." They said. "And because I'm a little curious too."
"What's your name?" Hitomi asked.
"Well....it's going to get confusing but my name's Hitomi, just like you. But I've always been called Lunar as a nickname." The girl said.
"Why Lunar?" Hitomi asked, lightening up and smiling.
"They say I'm always looking up at the sky.......at the moon and stuff......" Lunar said.
Hitomi stood up close to her. "Well...I've never actually met anybody with the same name as me before.....it's a little funny...would you.....like to come over my house for a drink?"
"So long as nobody minds." Lunar said.
"The family is all out on a trip, and.......I've not really been in the mood to go any where." Hitomi said.
Lunar shrugged. "Okay. It'd be great to chat!"
The two walked back to Hitomi's house.
~*************~
"This tea is great!" Lunar said.
"I've had practise making it.....and I sit and think. Some people say that recently I should stop thinking so much and pull myself back into life...but....I've had a hard time recently...." Hitomi said.
"Don't ever let anybody say that to you. You can never think enough. So.....I hope you won't find me prying too much but......what's the hard time?" Lunar said.
Hitomi sighed. "I'm still suffering greatly from....heart break...Have you ever loved somebody.....but yet....you can't be with them?"
Lunar's eyes averted. "Kind of, but not quite like you.." Suddenly Lunar realised what she'd said and she stood up.
Hitomi looked at her. "How could you know exactly?"
Lunar seemed to be fighting a battle in her head, caught between indecision, Hitomi just stared at her. Then she was aware that something in Lunar's bag was glowing.
"What's that in your bag?" Hitomi asked.
Lunar seemed like she was so shocked that she'd drop down dead or faint, but instead she rapidly moved to the bag and tried to block the light, but by this time Hitomi had recognised it.
"It's an energist....isn't it?" Hitomi said, standing. "Who are you?"
"I can't tell you....it's going to sound very strange but I got here literally last night and I've been searching for you....I'm from Fenelia." Lunar said.
"But why did you come here?" Hitomi asked, near tears.
"I can't say much either I just.....wanted to help you and Von out. Look....it completely screams a trap or set up, I know....but Von is in trouble....or at least...well, he is, okay?" Lunar said. "And I know you're the only one who can save him!"
Hitomi suddenly leaped into animation, diving for Lunar and grabbing her shoulders. "He's in trouble? What kind? You have to take me to him!"
Lunar nodded. "That's why I came."
Hitomi looked up at her. Every time she looked at Lunar it was like looking at Von only as a girl rather than a boy. She was like his twin.......could she be his sister?
"The energist will take us to Fenelia." Lunar said. "And all you have to do is take my hand and we'll be there."
Hitomi nodded and then the same pillar of light slammed onto them and took them up into Fenelia.
~*************~
Upon waking Hitomi took her first good look at Fenelia since a year ago.
"Where's the danger?" Hitomi asked.
Lunar pointed up at the sky and Hitomi looked up, far away dark clouds were gathering and getting gradually closer, they would reach the castle in a few hours.
"What is it?" Hitomi asked.
"Nobody knows, and because of that they don't know if they should stop it or if they should....but it will cause great disaster, that I can sense." Lunar said.
"We'll never get to the castle in time!" Hitomi wailed in anguish.
"Oh yes we will." Lunar grinned and then whistled, and a horse walked out of the bushes. "Right where I left her.....Hitomi.....meet my steed Pistol."
Pistol, the huge and impressive black stallion tossed it's head and then edged closer. Lunar pushed Hitomi onto the saddle with great ease them pulled herself up just as well, if not better.
"Lets see if we can do this, a horse can out run that, but we have to get through to the castle....and I know a great way....I just hope it's here." Lunar said, and Pistol launched off travelling at tremendous speeds. Hitomi had to hold on very tightly or she feared she'd fall off.
They rode through fields and people looked up at them and some called to them but they didn't stop. The castle was their destination.
