keemew2: my first step into this genre. I have never done a Escaflowne fic before and this has been sitting in my notebook for about, oh...I dunno. Six months, almost. I wrote it after watchign the entire series in nearly one shot. Well, not exactly after. I wrote it on my lunch break at work. My first real one shot. MY very first drabble. Man, it sure is hard to keep things short...
Anyway. Allen may not be my favorite character, but his personality really intrigued me and I always wondered what goes on in his head. This is my attempt to discern such. The night he and Van first met. in episode 3...

Allen Schezar stared at the shining crest, the brilliance of the gold on purple seal magnified by the pale moonlight as he scrutinized the validity of such a relic. The emblem itself was perfect in it's likeness, the Asturian knight knew this could be no forgery.
It is true, his thoughts murmured, that Fanelia's young prince was of age now, but could this brash young upstart really be Fanelia's new king?
The sword said it all. There as no way Balgus would allow a sword of this worth ever be stolen.
So indeed. Allen thought as he glanced at the boy. In truth he found himself amused. This child was obviously not ready to accept this responsibility just yet. At least...not emotionally. Far to inexperienced, he would no doubt get himself killed quite easily. He needs protection. Allen thought. Mostly from himself.
It was hard to ignore. The young was the same age she would have been.
The girl too. He found his attention drawn back to her. She seems so strange. Could Fanelia be protecting her? Why?
Her words came back to him then. The name Amano and her sad, fearful tears...
Allen wasn't entirely sure what he going to do. It was hard to be certain about what their true predicament was. But one thing was for certain. Both of these two needed a bed for the night and he knew just where to find one.
