Chapter 4: The Pendent & The Dragon
_____________________________________________________________________________
After a peacful dinner, and clearing of the dishes. Gemini was going up to get ready for bed, but she stopped at the glass cabnet and looked at the white dragon. Van saw her stop, and walked right up beside her, *I wonder if I should ask about the dragon.*
Gemini was awere that he was beside her, and of the question he wanted to ask her, "Ask me about it tomarrow."
"How did you?"
"I told you 'I'm phyic'. I noticed you were beside me, so I desided to see what you were thinking."
"Okay." Van answered.
Gemini showed Van to his room, and where everything else is. They both settled down for bed, and fell asleep thinking of the one person they both lost forever.
The next morning, Van woke up wonding if, Hitomi being dead, and leaving a daughter, Gemini, behind was a bad dream. Van looked around and came to the concusion that this was no dream. Van got up, and went down stairs, *I wonder where Gemini is? Maybe she's still sleeping.* Van glanced out the back door. He saw Gemini balncing on one of the bamboo poles in the middle of the large pond. *I wonder what she's doing. That looks a little dangerous, but, wow, she looks...beutiful.*
Gemini was doing her morning meditation whail balencing on the tallest pole in the pond, like she dose every morning. *I guess I should get back in. I sure hope Van dose not ask me about the pendent and the dragon, I really don't want to have to explain that.*
Van saw that Gemini was facing away from him, "Good morning, Gemini."
Gemini got startled and lost her balence, "Wha-? AHH!" and fell into the pond. Van started to back away, but did not get a step before Gemini reapperd. Gemini got out of the pond, and rung out her hair, "Thanks for making me go for a little swim, Van."
"Sorry."
"You do that again, and you'll be the on going for a morning swim." Van quikly nodded. Gemini went back into the hose to wash up, since the pond water isn't that clean. Van stayed outside to think. Gemini finshed cleaning herself up, and started making breckrfast.
Van came back in the house, "Sorry about making you fall, Gemini,"
"It's okay. It's my fault anyway, I should have felt your presence behind me. Breckfast should be ready in a minute."
"Oh, Gemini..."
*Oh no, here it comes.*
"What where you doing out there anyway?"
*Oh, thank kami!* "I was doing my early morning medatation, until you startled me."
"Oh, what's with the pendent, and the dragon?"
*Oh man, I was afraid he'd ask that.* "Let me go get them, and then I'll tell you."
Gemini walked out of the dinning area to the glass cabnet, and got out the dragon with the pendent around it's neck. *I wonder why Gemini is so hesentant to tell me about the dragon?*
Gemini re-entered the room, and set the dragon down. Then, Gemini took the pendent off the dragon, and slipped it around her neck. "I'll be right back with breckfast."
Van took alook at the white dragon. It was about two feet tall, with a long tall that coiled around it's feet. Van suspected that if you streched it out, that it would be four feet long all together.
Gemini came back out with two plates of food in each hand, and a try with two drinks perfectly balenced on her head. Van looked at Gemini, "Nice trick."
"Yeah, I've been doing this since I was five. But, I did break three of moms best wine glasses." Gemini kinda laught, "Mom was PISSED." She set the food down, along with the drinks. "So, I assume you want to know about the dragon, and the pendent."
"Yeah."
"Well, as you more than likly assumed, this dragon and the pendent go together. I know it will seem alittle imposible, but, this dragon can come alive."
Van looked at the dragon, then at Gemini,"Really?"
"Yes, dad used to bring her alive to watch me when they went out. Her name is Escaflowna, Esca for short. She and I are best friends."
"Did you name her?"
"No, I didn't. She's past down to the first born, and since I was the first born, she was past down from my mom to me."
"Can you bring her alive? I'd like to see her."
Gemini looked over at Van, and smiled,"Sure, I haven't brought her to life since before mom died." Gemini held the pendent infront of the dragon. The pendent begain to glow a ruby-red, the glow crept to the dragon, and surrounded it. A minute later the glow dissappeard. The dragon's eyes blinked, then she yawned. Gemini smiled more, "Hi Esca-chan!"
Escaflowna looked over at Gemini, and gave a toothy grin, "Gem-chan! Where's Hitomi-chan?"
Gemini's smile dissappeard, "A lot has happened since you where last awakend."
Escaflowna looked around until her eyes landed on Van, "Who are you?" She got into a threating stance.
Van had a shocked look on his face, *Oh boy, this dragon TALKS!* "My name is Van Fanel."
Escaflowna relaxed, "Van, I'm sorry for my rudness, but I'm very protective of Gem-chan."
Gemini smiled, "Esca-chan, you don't have to be that protective of me. I can take care of myself, but I appreceate the care."
"Of course, that was how Hitomi-chan and Dai-chan raised you. Hitomi-chan made me promise to protect you."
Gemini looked at Van, "So, what do you think of little Escaflowna?"
"Amazing."
"You're acting like you've never seen a dragon before."
"It's not that. On Geia dragons can't talk."
Escaflowna's eyes widend, "Did you say 'Geia'?"
"Yeah, why?"
"You're the king of Fanelia, pilote of Escaflowne!" Escaflowna did a dragon bow.
Gemini raised an eyebrow, "I thought you said there was no Escaflowne, Fanelia, or Geia, hmmm?"
"Did I say that?"
"Yes. you have been telling me that since I was 5 years old."
"Okay, yes I said that, but only because you told me you stopped believing in Hitomi-chans storys."
"For a short time yes, until that one time when I was 15, remember?"
"Oh, you mean when you discovered your...."
Escaflowna got her mouth clamped shut by Gemini, [If you reveal 'THAT' I will break YOUR wings!]
Escaflowna' eyes went wide with fear, Gemini unclaped her mouth, "Okay."
Gemini glanced at the clock, "11:14"
Van raised an eyebrow, "What's important about 11:14?"
"You'll know in 5 seconds."
OUtside a figure jumped off the back fence, "Face me, Silver Dragon!"
Van and Gemini looked at eachother, "Joko." They said in unison.
Gemini looked down at Escaflowna, and nodded. Escaflowna climed onto Gemini's shoulders. Gemini walked over to the glass cabnet, and got her sword. "Joko really pisses me off." Gemini said, walking outaside, "What do you want Joko?"
"For you to be my bride."
"Didn't you learn anything yesterday? I will burn in hell before I marrie you."
Just then, Dilandau jumped down from the roof, "Hi Gemini. Time to die."
"You two never give up, do you?"
