"Who ARE YOU?" Van repeated again, after the room was cleared of
all but the three of them.
"Kyuuei de Ciel... your MAJESTY." Ky said through gritted teeth.
"Not your NAME. I mean, what are you? Who sent you? Where are
you from? Where did you get that pendant? What do you WANT?"
Van seemed a bit crazed. This was her aunt's Van?!
"Calm down father. Go ahead... Ky ... tell him. Everything."
Dehs said in a deadend tone of voice.
"Everything?"
"Everything." He said.
"Fine. I am human. A girl, of about 15 years of age...." she
couldn't help it, Van's rage made her angry. "... a beam of
light sent me here, as far as I know. I am from Earth...the
Mystic Moon." She paused... Everything. "Aunt Hitomi, gave me
this pendant. I want to know why I am here... to go home..."
"I don't believe you, Hitomi, gave that very same pendant before
she went back to Gaea. Then it suddenly disappeared one night,
it happened a year ago. Now, what I'd like to know is how YOU
came into possession of it." stated Van, all kingly and calm.
"This is.... was.... my mother's. Alera, Aunt Hitomi's older
sister."
"Prove it then." Men!!! Need proof... ARGH!!! Believe the
girl!!!!
"How? I can tell you many things, but you still wouldn't
believe me anyway." Suddenly, an idea struck her. "Aunt
Hitomi's chain was gold, was it not?" Van thought for a while,
could this girl be right. Scenes of Hitomi holding the pendant
in her hands flashed before him. The time she handed him the
pendant, it was true! Hitomi's chain was gold! But it still
didn't satisfy the King of Fanelia.
"You might have switched the chains as easily." Kyuuei glared
at Van, her face beet red with anger. Fury that had been bottled
up within the girl since her capture was now released, in a way
unthought of in her mind.
Light poured from the stone on the silver chain. It created a
sphere of pure energy in the centre of the whole court. The guards
readied themselves for an enemy attack, but none came.
Instead, a vision appeared, for all to see within the globe.
"Ky? What is it? Who?" Dehs asked quietly.
"... It's Aunt Hitomi..." The picture of Hitomi entered their
minds and expanded.
"Hitomi... can it really be you....?" Van whispered.
Hitomi seemed to be in grave distress. When she finally closed her
eyes, her dreams troubled her. Hitomi murmured something about the
pendant. The scene moved to the pendant. It laid on her nightstand,
it was glowing blue, its chain, gold.
*FLASH*
Pale faced and ashamed, he nodded to the young girl in front of him.
"I'm truly sorry Kyuuei.... Dehs. Forgive me for my
behaviour and mistrust. No pendant would have been able to generate
such a power. And no one can wield lies from such a sacred object."
Van bowed to them.
"Father, you know very well that the king must not bow to his
inferiors." Eriondehs said coldly.
"Just stand up your majesty."
"Hitomi..." Van whispered. "What can we do?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know what happened. I truly wish I did, it
would be easier for me... for all of us."
"So, where do we go from here?" As Dehs's words came out of his
mouth, the winds stirred their fates once again. The doors
burst open, and in walked a very angry woman.
"LORD VAN!!!" Hmm....somehow very familiar...
"Merle!! What are you doing here?!" Uh yes... I suppose it is
... cat girl, now a young cat woman... no pun intended! ^_^
"Nice way to greet family! Dehs...my you've grown! And who....
is this? She seems to remind me of..." After her inspection
of the 'stranger', she noticed the pendant around her neck.
"How did you get that?" Kyuuei shook her head, not again!
"My aunt gave...." Dehs stopped Ky from saying anything
furthur.
"I'll explain this time. Aunt Merle, your suspicions are
correct. She IS from the Mystic Moon, but she did not steal
the pendant from Hitomi. In fact, she is Hitomi's neice.
The pendant she wears about her neck is not her aunt's, but
her mother's." Merle nodded understanding the situation.
"I see now... And let me guess... Lord Van..." Van ducked
his head, embarassed.
"Yes, I know what you've done to the poor girl." His long time
companion smiled. "Not very hospitable were you?" Van looked
down at the floor, suddenly finding the marble ground very
interesting. Merle continued talking, fast paced as ever.
"I believe I know what you want to say. Is Hitomi even here?"
A pained look entered Van's eyes, and right away Merle
regretted her words.
"She's still on the Mystic.... Earth."
"Oh... then ... why... oh..." Merle looked at Kyuuei.
"I haven't even introduced myself. Or asked your name! I'm
Merle." She stuck her hand out to Kyuuei.
"My name is Kyuuei de le Ciel. You can call me Ky." She took
Merle's hand in hers and smiled. "I'm glad to have met you
finally."
"I'm sure Hitomi had MUCH to say about me."
"Well.... she did mention..."
"I KNEW IT!!!! She told you about all the times I insulted her.
When I was merely taking a look at her pendant! She thought I
was going to keep it!!!" Kyuuei collapsed on the floor in a fit
of laughter.
"Oh! She NEVER told me THAT... *giggle* any of that!!! She
said that you were a great friend." Merle blushed.
"Oopsie..."
"MERLE! You took Hitomi's pendant?!" The look on Van's face
seemed grim. Merle's smile sunk to a frown... Then he relaxed
and started to laugh. "Oh... that's what the commotion was
about, I did wonder." Everyone laughed, it was good to be in
high spirits once again.
~Hitomi's Night~
She felt like many eyes were watching her... but no one was
around. Would similar things happen to Kyuuei as they did to
her? If Kyuuei was to be brought back to Earth, would time
be changed, like it did when Hitomi was? Would Hitomi know
the difference? OR would time run as usual? Leaving her to
wait for, who knows how long, until her neice returned.
"Kyuuei..." She fell asleep after a long time.
She dreamt of the past tonight. Images of a queen, and her
king, and the ancient crystal that had brough them together.
The long battles that she and the other colony rulers had endured.
Finally, at the Queen and King's death, the Silver Crystal split in
four. Over time, they took different shapes. Now, they had
finally been handed down to the ages, to the Chosen.
"... the pendants shall show the eye and sky's song the way."
she murmured in her sleep. Her dreams focused on Kyuuei,
herself; their pendants hovered above them, circling them
in an unending dance. Van and an unknown blond man were
floating above them. Their wings wide spread, and swords
in their hands. Escaflowne towered above them like a shadow.
Two hooded figures joined Hitomi and Kyuuei. Hitomi gasped.
"The visions... they've come back." Her words earlier echoed
in her mind. '... the pendants shall show the eye and sky's song
the way.' Puzzling, her prophecies, the predictions, they
never came in riddles like this before. "What can this mean?"
She shook her head and tried, once again to get some sleep.
~At Fanelia's Castle~
"I think it's time we get some sleep." Van said.
"Yes, and I really should be getting home now. The twins are
scared of the dark, and Zar is away on businnes at the moment."
Kyuuei was surprised, Merle had children? Since Van had never
married, she supposed that Merle wouldn't either.
"Then who's taking care of them?" Dehs asked. If Zar was away,
and Merle was here...
"My neighbour, Lan... but she needs to get home to her own
children." Merle rushed off.
"Merle... has children?!" Now that's a hard picture to see.
What does her husband look like? What do their children look
like?
"Yes, she was married nearly five years ago. The twins came
3 years ago, if I recall." Oh.... wow.... that would have made
Merle... 20 years old back then, just about...
"I was going to visit the twins tomorrow, would you care to
come with me?" Dehs asked politely. He seemed to plead to her
to go with him. Kyuuei didn't know them very well, would they
accept her? Finally she gave in, she might as well get to know
them.
"Yes, I think I will join you." She yawned, boy, was she tired!
"Why don't we all get some sleep? Dehs why don't you escort
Kyuuei to the guest room?" Van stayed in the throne room, walking
up and down. They looked at him worriedly, but didn't say
anything.
When they walked out of the throne room, they spoke.
"Dehs? Do you think that King Van will be all right?" He
nodded.
"I'm sure of it. He just needs some time to work things out."
They came to a white marble door. "Well here we are, this is
where you will be staying." He opened the door and showed her
in. He turned to leave.
"Dehs... wait... please." He stopped, and turned around to look
at her. "Thank you for everything."
"No need. We should get our rest now... good night, Ky." He
strode away.
"Good night, Dehs." She closed the door behind her, and looked
at the room. "Oh my! What a big bed, and the view! The garden
below the balcony, and the ocean in front. She sighed, if she
were on Earth, she'd be staring up at the moon right now.
Instead, she was looking at Earth and the Moon.
"... the pendants shall show the eye and sky's song the way."
A voice whispered.
"Who's there?!"
"...the pendants...." The voice sounded so familiar.
"...yes the pendants!!! I heard what you said!!!! But who
are you?! What do you want?" But no one answered. All was
quiet. She was very perturbed by the suddeness of the voice.
'The pendants will show the eye and the sky's song the way.
What could that mean?' she wondered. After thinking on it
for awhile, she thought it better to sleep on it.
