Chapter 2
Back on earth Hitomi and Matt were at the ice cream parlour discussing Matt's sudden involvement with Gaea.
"Like I said, I was going to tell you, but you left." Matt said putting a spoonful of ice cream in his mouth.
"Yes, but you still didn't." Hitomi said shaking her spoon at him.
"Fine…will you forgive me then?" Matt said
"Ya I guess." Hitomi said scooping the last of her ice cream out of the bowl.
"Great, here this is for you." Matt said giving her a blue box.
"Is it a bomb?" Hitomi said sarcastically
Matt laughed "NO! Just open it"
Hitomi narrowed her eyes at him and picked up the box. When Hitomi opened it she nearly dropped it. Inside was a pink pendant just like her grandmother gave her.
"Wh…Where did you get this?" She said picking it up.
"I found it somewhere." Matt said leaning back in his chair.
"Found it where? Exactly?" Hitomi asked putting it on
"Well…before school started I went back to Gaea and found that outside the Fanelia palace. No one was claming it so I picked it up and pocketed it." Matt said
"So you stole it?" Hitomi said
"How could I have? It was on the ground." Matt said frowning
"I gave this to Van before I left!" Hitomi said starting to yell "He wouldn't just drop it somewhere!"
Hitomi grabbed her bag and stormed out of the parlour.
"Hitomi!" Matt yelled after her "HITOMI WAIT!" He said running after her.
"Why? You basically stole this pendant from my love, your rival, Van Fanel!" Hitomi said not stopping
"Would you stop!" Matt said grabbing her arm.
Before Matt could say anything a large pillar of light surrounded them and they began to rise up to the sky.
"OH NOT AGAIN!" Matt said still holding onto Hitomi's arm.
Hitomi looked up at the sky and closed her eyes.
"Van….I can see that you called me…I'm coming…"

Allen Shezar looked out into the blue green sea and watched as the tide rolled in and hit the sandy shores. He took a deep breath in a slowly blew it out.
"The sea is so wonderful this morning." Allen said
"ALLEN!" a voice called out from the palace.
Allen turned and saw a tall young woman standing in the doorway dressed in a flowing pink dress.
"Millerna…" He said smiling.
Allen started to walk towards the palace. His hair blew in the wind as he walked and his long blue cloak dragged along the yellow brown sand.
"Allen, Iris needs you" Millerna said smiling at him with her shimmering violet eyes.
"Alright I'll go talk to her." Allen said giving her a light kiss.
Allen walked up the long steps and entered Iris's room. There he smiled as he watched his little girl play with her doll for a little bit. She had long blonde hair and violet eyes like her mother. She loved to watch Allen practice his sword techniques, but she wasn't aloud to learn until he was older. When she saw him she dropped her doll and ran to give him a big hug.
"Daddy!" she said as she wrapped her tiny arms around him "I missed you!" she added
"I missed you even though I've only been outside for 5 minutes." Allen said looking down at her smiling face.
"So, Mommy said that you wanted to see me." Allen said picking her up and sitting on a chair
"Ya, I had another bad dream." Iris said
"Aww." Allen said giving her a hug
"Well you can forget about it because I'm here now and so is your mommy." Allen said "Now lets go downstairs and see if cook has made us anything to eat. Hm?" Allen said putting Iris down and taking her hand.
"ok!" Iris said taking Allen's hand and skipping as Allen walked.
When Allen and Iris got downstairs Millerna was sitting at the table staring into space and was holding a piece of paper.
"Millerna? Are you alright?" Allen said kneeling beside her.
"Mommy?" Iris said shaking her arm.
Millerna fluttered her eyes and snapped back to reality.
"OH! Allen you must read this!" Millerna said giving Allen the paper.
Allen stood up and read the letter. As he read his eyes began to widen and his heart started to beat faster and faster. Allen sat down and leaned back in his chair. The note said:
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Shezar,
We are sending you this letter to inform you that a blue pillar of light has been spotted and has landed somewhere in Gaea. We are sending out a search party to find it. If you can we are asking for your help.
King Van
