*Chapter VII, Plot*
Hitomi's mother
went down stair's only to remember that her husband and her son were at school and
at work; she went upstairs back to Hitomi's room, and saw that that boy was
still standing there
Just then,
Hitomi came out of her room, "Oh mom, where's Kioshi and father?"
"I forgot, but
they'll be back after school and work, then we'll talk. Honey I think that you
should go to sleep, you did almost die, and I want you to be well. Do you think that we should go and see a
doctor? Ummm… not to be rude, but Hitomi who is this?" Her mother asked
indicating Van.
"Mom, ummm… this
is Van Fanel, he's from…Fanelia, ummm… it's really hard to explain, but I
promise that I will tell you everything when father and Kioshi come home. I'm a bit tired and I still feel a bit
weird, so I think that I might go and lay down for a bit. Ummm Van's going to come with me." Hitomi
was very afraid of what type of answer she'll get from her mother.
"Hitomi may I
please speak to you for a moment."
Oh no, I know that I'm in trouble now, what am I
going to tell my mother…
"Hitomi is this
Van Fanel, from Gaia? Is this also the one
who you talk about in your dreams? I hear you sometimes calling out for a Van
during the night, and when I check on you I usually see that you were crying,
but you were still asleep. Is this
him?"
"Yes… How did
you know about Gaia mother? Did I talk about Gaia during my sleep too?"
"No. Mother, – your grandmother – told me about
Gaia when I was a child. She also told me about Leon, the man she met on
Gaia. She said that he told her about
traveling to find the secret of Atlantis… and well, I'll tell you about that
later." After a few tense seconds she asked, "Do you love him?"
She blushed beat
red. Hitomi couldn't believe that her
mother was asking if she loves Van, "I do. Once again I will tell you about him
later, but I'm tired now, so would you mind if he…ummm slept in… my room?"
"If you're JUST
going to sleep, NOT anything ELSE, RIGHT? I guess I can't stop you"
"MOTHER!!!"
Hitomi said with a harsh whisper, she could believe what her mother was
implying; she was shocked. "I'm too tired to do anything like that. I'm ONLY
GOING TO SLEEP!" Hitomi went so red.
"Gesh! Don't
yell at your mother, you're still my daughter! I worry about you. Go to bed now, I'll wake you when your
father and brother come home. I love
you, good night."
"Good night
mother." Hitomi walked back to her room and pulled Van in after her.
"Hitomi, your
mothers right around the corner, she'll get mad… And you need your sleep!"
"Don't worry she
knows about Gaia…and I'm too tired to explain, I just want to go to sleep. Mom said you can come with me, don't worry
so much, Anyways I said that we're just going to go to sleep, not anything
else."
Van looked so
innocent, "Like what? What do you mean Hitomi?"
"Ah so innocent,
I promise that I'll show you another day." Van still didn't get it.
Then it hit him,
"Oh you mean… HITOMI!!" Van went a red that was so deep; that Hitomi didn't
think that shade of red had been found yet. She laughed at him, which only made a deeper red.

(ON GAIA)
Once again Merle
was shouting at the guard, "WERE IS HE?!?!"
"Lady Merle, he
vanished from the castle yesterday morning, he and the Lady Hitomi, are
missing, they are no where to be found."
"THIS IS
HOPELESS!!! Where is Prince Chid? And are there any other guest here?"
"He is in the
Library with Queen Millerna and King Dryden, they arrived yesterday after the
King left."
"Thank you."
Merle ran off the see her old friends. When she reached the Library she was so
happy to see them all that she ran up to them and shouted at them, "Hi!!!"
Everyone looked
at Merle, and looked around for Van, since she was always around her.
"Hello
Merle. Where is Van?" Allen asked. "Is
it true? Did she come back?" he asked somewhat nervously.
"Ummm you see the
really stupid guards sort of can't find him, but I can take a guess where he is
right now, since he and Hitomi are missing. They might be back at the Mystic Moon. I heard that there was a rumor that she found out that he was engaged to
Lady Celena, but I don't think that she took it well. I'm sorry to have told you that, Lady Celena… it's just that…"
Merle looked carefully at Lady Celena.
"You don't have
to make excuses for him, I know their history. It has become a story of romance and war. So I know about the way he feels about Hitomi Kanzaki, everyone
does." She said with a bright smile.
"Yes, everyone
except him, men are so blind." Celena laughed, and she nodded in agreement.
"I think that we
will be good friends, you and I Merle."
"So do you know
when he'll be back? Does he plan to cancel the marriage between Lady Celena and
himself? …So do you know why she came back to Gaia, because the last time she
came war broke out, and I want to know if Gaia is in trouble again." Allen
asked, looking very odd. Scared almost.
"Please don't
ask me, I don't want to start a war or anything because he likes Hitomi. But we all know that he loves Hitomi and she
loves him, and I… don't know, we'll have to wait... Anyways I don't know why
she came back, she might have just come back for Van, hopefully."

(OTHER PLACES ON
GAIA)
"Sir, all is
ready sir. We await your command." A guard said while bowing very deeply.
"Good. We will have revenge on those dame alliance
fools. Prepare invasion on Fried. Without the duke there, we shall take over quickly. One by one we will
rule each country. Take no prisoners;
kill everyone!"
"Sir the dragons
are ready."
"Let them start
then we will preceded. Dismissed "
"Yes sir!" the
other guard saluted then left.
As the guard left
the room, he could hear his captain laughing in the background. Everyone
thought that the captain was totally crazy but everyone was too afraid of him
to just ignore him. Just as he shut the door to the central discussion room, he
heard the captain talking to himself.
"Yes, burn
everything, all will burn."
~*~*~*~
The dragons
attacked Fried, with such force that no one would stand up to the dragons
because they knew that if they tried, they would die.
The dragons
burned everything; killing everyone, no one survived to send a message to the
Duke. Fried and the surrounding around became a blanket of ashes. No one knew why the dragons were attacking
them; people didn't even know that dragons lived in that area.
Fried and her
people were wiped out that day.
