~Death With Wings~
Chapter 4:
I Don't Need a Promise
Her new surroundings were dark. There was a single white light cast upon a miniture model of the Vione. As she moved closer to it, she could discern six models of Draconians revolving around it. She recognized three. Varie, Folken, and Van. They were made of green stone, which she guested to be dragu-energist. As the light reflected off the Vione and the winged ones, it cast an erie glow across the room. As the light changed here and there, she could make out carvings of guymelefs over the walls. Looking around some more, she found the Escaflowne. She reached out to touch it but stumbled over something it the dark. Something alive!
"Meow?" 'Meruru?' Hitomi thought.
"Meruru?"
"HITOMI!" Meruru hugged her friend, nearly choking her with her great cat-strength. "HITOMI! YOU'RE BACK!!!"
"Meruru! Where are we?" She looked over the odd place again.
"You are in the Temple of the Dead. Celena built it to honor the dead. I mean, we are not dead, but the Dragon Slayers," she pointed to the Vione, "and Van, Folken, Varie, Andiam, Caalia, and Nagouyu, they're all dead."
"Van is dead?" Hitomi asked with fear.
"I'm sorry, Hitomi. There is a new danger on the planet. She took Van and killed him."
'Van! Van, dead?' She thought back to what had happened before. Van had asked for help. She was too late.
"Hitomi, please don't cry. I think I cried enough for the world."
"I promise I won't."
"I don't need a promise. You are a strong person, Hitomi."
