Here's chapter two. I once again used a verse from Sora's song in this chapter because I'm trying to keep the feel of the movie in this fic. Well, I hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 2

She was here. He could feel her, feel the power that she radiated. "She's here." He whispered it quietly to the darkness surrounding him.
"Yes, I knew she'd come" A voice from the dark answered, an old voice that bore no traces of humanity in it, yet that was what made it distinctly human.
"It worries me, she has the power to stop us" The first voice commented not sounding worried at all. "What if is she finds out how to use her true power?"
"She won't, Sora is dead there is no one left to teach her."
"Sora may be dead but that doesn't mean she is gone. Sora had her own powers. Her fight against us has not finished."
"The Tsubasa no Kami has no way of knowing about us, she has come but she will be able to do nothing." Even though the voice in the dark didn't ever change in tone or show any emotion he could that it was annoyed and that this conversation was over. It didn't matter, he had work to do anyway.

"Van-sama!" Van turned in the direction he heard Merle call from. "Van-sama, we're going to pick some apples, do you want to come?" Van looked at all the children surrounding Merle calling for her to hurry up.
"No thanks, Merle. I don't feel up to it today. I'm just going to go for a walk." Merle had noticed that Van-sama had been doing this a lot lately, disappearing for hours and coming back just to say that he had been on a walk.
"Okay don't be gone to long the bon fire is tonight."
"I won't Merle." Van then walked off alone up the path to the cliff that overlooked the valley. The cliff where he had last seen Hitomi. When he got there he stood at the edge and watched the sun go down just as he had that day with her. He felt lonely without her. But it wasn't the all-encompassing loneliness he had always felt before he had met Hitomi, it was a sort of pleasant loneliness. He missed Hitomi but he knew she was alive somewhere and that he would see her again.Right now Van was more worried about that feeling of upcoming dread that wouldn't leave him alone. He couldn't sleep because of it and he didn't know what to do about it.
As the sun was disappearing behind the cliff on the other side of the valley it suddenly shone so bright that Van had to cover and close his eyes and he still thought he might go blind from the bright yellow glare shining in his eyes. Van made himself fall backwards so that he wouldn't get to close to the edge of the cliff in his present state of blindness. As his hands came in contact with the ground his right hand closed around something small, smooth, and circular. After a minute of siting there Van opened his eyes and found that the sun had now completely disappeared. He brought his hand up to his eyes to see what was in it and found that he couldn't see it because his eyes were still adjusting to the sudden darkness.
Suddenly there were white bird everywhere, flying around him and calling out to something. Van looked at his hand again and saw that he carried the pendant. Her pendant. The one that had floated off Hitomi's neck and turned into Escaflowne. The birds were increasing in number and getting louder in the melodic call.

Win dain a lotica
En vai tu ri
Si lo ta
Fin dein a loluca
En dragu a sei lain
Vi fa-ru les shutai am
En riga-lint

Van could hear singing now and the number of birds was so great that he couldn't see a foot in front of himself. Then all of a sudden the singing stopped and the birds flew off. Hitomi stood in place of the birds, her glowing wings spread out behind her. She stared right at him for a full minute then the wings on her back disappeared and she fell to the ground.
