Hitomi Kanzaki clutches to her pillow and sleeps soundly when on the floor a little ball with bells inside drops onto the ground. She awakens from her deep slumber and looks around for the cause of the sound. Upon the floor she sees a little glowing silver ball. She sits up straight and clutches her blanket to her breast. As she gets out of bed and nervously walks towards the little white orb feathers fall to the ground. She questions to herself, "Van?…" She hesitates a moment and waits for a reply but there is nothing. Her hair falls over her shoulders and she brushes it back.
Van Fenell was someone she had met three years ago. He was on a planet called Gaeae and was the king of a country there. Back then her hair was short but now it was waist long. She had traveled to Gaeae somehow and was taken to Van's kingdom, Fenallia. They went through many hardships together and by the end…she was in love. Now she waited silently expecting to here 'his' voice. Still there was no sound except for the empty echo of her call.
She walked closer to the orb and picked it up, inside she could see…Zaibache? The horror struck her like lightning to a rod. Three years ago she had gone through a great ordeal against a city called Zaibache…and now…it was renewed. Different it looked…more peaceful…but in her heart she somehow knew…Zaibache. She bent down and picked up the feathers and as soon as she touched them they disintegrated…the room plunged into darkness.
It was a vision something she hadn't had in a long time…pain… sorrow…anger…revenge…revenge, yes most of all revenge hit her like a boulder. She started to cry and wished for the pain to go away. She grabbed at her hair while this ordeal pounded at her brain. No visions…just floods of emotion…floods of pain, smell, sound. Screams…she could hear screams, and she could feel hate and sorrow.
And finally it ended…as sudden as it came…it had gone. Hitomi opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was the glowing orb. She stared hard at it and then realized, it was the heart of a dragon. It was a white energist. It must have fallen from her hand but she no longer cared. She picked the energist up and held it in the air with one hand…she shut her eyes tight and soon blinding light came and swept her away.
She woke up the next morning, but not in her room, she woke in a forest. She stood up and dusted herself off. She also saw the energist, which she picked up and it fell away into ash. She looked around cautiously and saw a trail and followed it. It was not long when she came across something she remembered. A sort of old fashioned fortress…she smiled and ran in.
The first to greet her was a man named Gadeth who remembered her as the girl from the mystic moon. She quickly greeted him and ran further into the fortress. She went inside and ran through halls and corridors. She came to a room and found what she was looking for. Not what per say, but whom she was looking for. She smiled in glee and ran to a man she knew. She hugged him and greeted him as tears of joy streaked her face.
This man was a kind knight with long blonde hair, still longer then hers. His name was Alan Shezzar and she remembered 'The Knight of the Heavens' well. He was shocked at the realization of who she was and then got over it and caressed his body to hers. He to missed Hitomi. Slowly, he then pushed her away remembering that he was not hers to love.
"Oh Alan, I missed you and Van." She waited a moment, "How is Van…and has Zaibache returned?" She forgot that she was not in any real clothes and when she remembered she blushed as Alan covered her almost completely exposed body.
"Van is alright and yes Zaibache has returned…" Alan turned away in detest, "They act all peaceful but I don't believe them. To prove they have no means for revenge they have sent ambassadors but never have we seen the emperor. We're supposed to trust someone we have never seen…for all we know it could be Dornkirk…."
"But that's not what bothers you is it Alan?" Hitomi cut him off. Dornkirk the man who ruled Zaibache…that treacherous man, "What really bothers you?" She asked stroking Alans face and bringing it to meet her gaze. If she had ever seen a strong willed man cry…it was now.
"The Emperor of Zaibache asked if she could take Cerena. I said no and he persuaded…of course it was not the emperor himself but a soldier. He promised that Cerena would not be hurt but I said no…they took her away. Against my will…I lost my younger sister twice to those monsters." Alan paused a moment and looked away once more, "but legally they have done nothing as a country and it is not enough to attack them." He whimpered slightly and the said, "I can't protect my own little sister…"
Hitomi stepped closer to console Alan when the door opened and standing under the threshold was Cerena…his beloved younger sister. She was dressed in fine silks and did not seem hurt at all but when Alan asked what happened she smiled and said nothing. She told him that what happened was nothing bad…but she must keep it a secret. He persuaded and tried using guilt but nothing worked all she said was that she must see Van. She then noticed Hitomi and then together they stayed.
The next morning Alan readied a craft to take them to Fenallia. Hitomi was dressed in some of Cerena's clothes and by early noon they were half way to their destination.
When they finally reached Fenallia, by early next day they had arrived at Van's palace.
They were shown to guest rooms and later in the morning were taken to the throne room. When Hitomi entered Van could not believe the sight he saw. How much he had craved for the to be together once more. He got up from his throne and ran to greet her but as he got closer he hesitated. Hitomi waited anticipating a hug but when none was given she hugged him. She told him she had missed him while he was struck with shock. He slowly hugged her back and said that he missed her too. He then asked why Alan came here and what brought Hitomi back to Gaeae.
