Longing

Part 1
Ch2

Van would wish every second of the day, for Hitomi to suddenly
appear in that powerful column of light. And of course it would
never come true, for Van had the pendant that allowed Hitomi to
travel to Gaea. He hated himself for ever letting the one he
loved slip away, now that he understood it was love. Sure
everything in Gaea was peaceful and the people seemed happy,
which made King Van happy as well. However, the pain will never
subside. Van came to the conclusion that he'd never be truly happy
without Hitomi by his side, at least he'd be happy for her.
He would always wonder what she'd be doing on the mystical planet
"Earth" as Hitomi called it. Van would still wish that Hitomi would
be happy with her chosen path.

Hitomi would always wonder what Van was doing and what Fanelia look
like. So many questions ran through mind, and what depressed her
even more was the fact that she'd never be able to answer these
questions. Through all her attempts to forget Gaea, she'd be finding
more and more memories about what had happened all that time she
was in the war. She thought back to the time she had returned to
Earth and couldn't spent a day away from Van. Everything reminded
her of him, and that faithful day she went back to him. How could she
spend the rest of her life away form Van if she couldn't spent 24
hours away from him?

She wanted to see him again and tell him that she loves him, and that
she'd never leave him. Although her heart cried out to return to Gaea
she couldn't, how could she? She didn't have the pendant. What if Van
was happy without her?

The day she left Gaea, she found out just how true her love for Van
was. But now she had to let go of her newly found love. She would
be starring in to space at school, and everytime she did it would feel
like it was reality. That's what kept her holding on.

Fanelia was rebuilding nicely, the palace was almost done and the people
came filtering in. It was once again prosperous.

I wish Hitomi could see this, Van thought as he watched the workers
put the finishing touches on the palace.


Why couldn't I have told her how I feel? Van questioned himself for the
thousandth time.

"I am going to tell her," Van exclaimed. "Hitomi I'm going to see you
again."

And with that his wings were spread, he went flying like a speeding bullet.
Without a care in the world he went soaring through the sky, straight
to the Mystic Moon. With the pendant glowing around his neck.

(Earth Night-time)


Hitomi had felt restless and couldn't sleep. So she pulled on some sweats
and sneaked out, making sure not to wake anyone. She walked through the
chili air, to the racetrack where she first encountered Van. She took
her stance and ran with everything she had. A flash of light filled
the night sky, blinding her. When Hitomi regained her sight all she saw
was the angelic creature standing before her.
