Allen's Quarters

"What do you mean she just left?????!" Allen screamed. He slammed his fist onto the table and cried out in pain. "Aghh I don't believe it… Hitomi couldn't have just left!"

Allen was angry and pissed off. "I just hope she didn't go to the Atlan Layer…"

Allen paled. "She did…"

Flying Fortress

Folken gripped the chair. He knew he had sent Dilandau out to destroy Atlan Layer, but honestly he only thought it was a legend and he sent Dilandau out so he wouldn't have to put up with Dilandau for at least one day but… it didn't turn out the way he wanted to…

Alian looked at Folken and then turned right back around. "I'm sorry about that…I just want to go home and rebuild everything that's fallen."

Folken just stood there even though he knew he should have said some thing to comfort her no words would out of his mouth. Not one. He looked at her. She faced the window with her long hair blowing against the wind. Her features sharp yet delicate. Her body was narrow but not narrow to a point where she was just skin and bones.

"Like mother," whispered Folken. "What?" asked Alian. "Oh nothing," Folken quickly announced. Alian turned around and sat upon the bed. "You have a nice empire." Folken looked stunned. "Oh no this isn't all mine's. It's Zabaichs. Mainly." Folken looked down at the ground. He couldn't face her. Her limp hair pulled in front of her face covered her like a mask in which Folken could not see her with.

"You… you should rest. I'll be down stairs if you need me." And with that Folken left.

*A Clearing north of Gundarm Forest *

Van came out of Escaflowne to check up on Hitomi. He had covered her back with cloth so that she wouldn't be able to see what had happened. Even though Van felt pity for himself and for Hitomi he wasn't just going to let it all out. He would keep to himself for Hitomi's sake.

*Clearing *

Hitomi laided there wondering. What did those ladies mean when they said a young lover in love with the king? Hitomi retraced the memory…

Hitomi peered at the people. There was 2 young ladies. Both beautiful in a unique way. They stopped. "I sense a young lover , in love with the king?" said one. "honestly Kinkie you expect the worst for our kingdom" laughed the other woman. Then she too stopped. "Yes I some- she's nearby! Get her!" The two young woman ran around the corner and grabbed Hitomi.

What did it mean though. Could the women see futures? Or was it just their imaginations? Did Hitomi love Van?

"In love with the king," whispered Hitomi.

"What king?" asked Van. Hitomi jumped up. "Oh nothing I… I was just thinking." Hitomi turned into a bright pink while Van stood there one eyebrow higher then the other looking confused.

"Well if you really don't want to tell me you don't have to." Van stopped. He knew he shouldn't have gotten so emotional. Van clamed down and started over. "Never mind."

Hitomi looked at Van and shook her head. She loved Van in a nice way but was there a way to tell him that without getting him all messed up? (meaning freaking out)

*Allen's Quarters *

"Have you found them yet?" Allen asked. "No," replied Gadase. "No one has seen them since five days ago."

Allen buried his head in the papers on his desk. "I can't believe this."

*Merle's room *

"Where's Lord Van?! Tell me where Lord Van is!!" Merle cried out.

"We don't know," said Allen. "I'm not even sure if they're in the location that we are at. For all we know they could be lost in the woods."

Merle snorted. "Yeah like Lord Van would get lost!" Allen glared at her. "I'm just saying they could be any where. I think we should first find the legend Atlan Layer."

"You can't be serious boss! I mean it's a legend. It's not real," said Gadase. "If I say something's real then it's real!" snapped Allen.

"Van and Hitomi are in danger and it's my duty as a knight to find them and make sure they are ok. And if I don't Fanila won't have a king anymore. Zabaich will then take over everything. Plus Escaflowne and we can't let that fall into their hands."

Gadase nodded. So did the other knights.
