Author's Note: Yes a new story. I've decided to start a new Esca fic because I haven't written one in so long. This story I thought of many many years ago and I think I actually wrote a few chapters of it and posted it on this site. But then I stopped. Anyways so I kinda got reminded of this story when I was reading another Esca fic (the two have nothing to do with each other) and it reminded me just how much fun it was to write Escaflowne fics. And so here it is. The beginning of the story so with out further ado let the epilogue begin. Enjoy and please don't hesitate to review and lemme know what you think )
Disclaimer: Sadly, I do know own Escaflowne, although I left the blue prints to steal it somewhere under my bed…
It was a cool clear night on the planet of Gaea. The two moons stood proudly in the night sky illuminating the forest beneath. The night's starts twinkled friendlily on the backdrop of inky blackness. The forest was quiet save for the cricket's songs and the few nocturnal beasts in search of their morning breakfast. If any villagers anywhere on Gaea were asked about that night they would remark that it was the most peaceful and calm night they had seen in years. However not all the people of Gaea were able to enjoy this serene night. Deep within the forest a young girl was running for her life.
The girl weaved through the trees with grace and ease. Her long slender legs pumped faster as her mind urged her to continue on. Just a little further. Lips parted, brows furrowed and emerald green eyes pooled with fear she put on a small extra burst of speed as her short honey brown hair flowed behind her. She had already torn her long dress to make a short skirt it was easier to run in. Now her legs were scratched and bruised along with her bare arms. She didn't care. All that she cared about was to get as far away as possible. Just a little further. Succumbing to her paranoia she risked another glance behind her. Unfocusedly all she was able to make out was the dark empty forest behind her. She was so sure that they would be right behind her. She was so sure that they would chase her. They wouldn't let her go with out a fight. Maybe they hadn't realized. Just a little further. She willed her self to keep going as her lungs cried in protest. It was becoming harder to breathe. Her eyes were becoming unfocused because of the lack of oxygen, beads of sweat dripping down her face and her fear. Again she looked back. No one. She was sure that they must have realized that she was gone by now and must be after her. Her adrenal glands refused to back down forcing the fight of flight response from her body. In this case it was flight, and the adrenalin pounded through her veins urging her to keep going. Just a little further. Then she would stop and rest. She risked another glance behind her. However it was at this particular moment that she tripped on a large overgrown tree root. Hitomi Kanzaki could see her self fall into a pit of darkness and before she sprawled onto the forest ground she lost all consciousness.
Somewhere in the distance a raven-haired young man looked up from his food and fire to hear a distinct thump in the bushes near by him.
