ok i forgot the disclamier again....im gonna get sued one day sigh
I don't own Escaflowne but i do own little dilly fanel!!! i'll rent him out to you if your nice to me ^_^!!!
Van was curled up in his bed or rather the chair near the bed. Since Hitomi's death Van would
fall asleep in a chair facing the window, just as his mother had done after his father had
passed away. When he lay in that bed he could almost see her laying on her side propped on
her elbow smiling at him. Those bright green eyes sparkling at him, then he would reach out
to touch Hitomi then he would wake from his daydreams. So Van sat fast asleep, head drooped
wearing his official robes.
Merle entered the room and sighed at Van. "Oh, Van your never going to be happy again if you
carry on like this." She crossed the room and stood in front of Van, Merle sighed and shook Van
lightly. "Hey Van, Wake up there's somebody here to see you?" Van groggily looked up and
blinked a few times.
"Who? It's early…send them away." He waved his hand and settled back down to rest. Merle shook
her head and pushed Van lightly on his shoulder. "It's the boy, Van."
"He's here now?" Merle nodded, Van bounced up, "Really…I can't wait to see him. What does he
look like? I never got to see him."
"Well his hair is silver like Folken's and his eyes are as ruby as Hitomi's where emerald. He
is… remember when Allen visited us and told us the boy looks just like…" Merle trailed off, and
cast her eyes to the floor.
"Dilandau?" Van shook his head. "Merle." Van laughed and walked over to his closet and pulled
out his more causal clothes. "Merle are you really trying to convince me that my son is the
image of him? Do you think I really need to go in there anymore freaked out then I am now?" he
pulled his top over his head.
"But Van he looks just like Dilandau…No he is Dilandau! That's his name remember. I mean he
isn't but he is. Everyone who ever saw him has remarked upon it!" Merle crossed her arms, and
shook her head sadly. "Your in for a surprise Van, Don't say that we didn't try to tell you when
you see for yourself."
Van laughed and threw his arm around Merle. "Merle, cheer up today's a happy day remember. We
gonna get to spend the first day of many with my son, the last thing I have left of Hitomi. Now
are you going to stop worrying?" Merle sighed and nodded, knowing that Van was far too
stubborn, and he'd properly deny it even after he saw Dilandau himself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dilandau sighed, the picture of Omi in his hand, he wondered why Omi had left him all alone.
He placed the picture carefully on the desk and looked at the other pictures. Looking for people
he recognised, such as his Uncle Allen. He picked out the Cat Women in a few of the pictures.
He glanced over to the door where the Cat Women had left to get his father. Dilandau sighed
again and plopped down on the sofa swinging his legs. He wondered if he should go after the Cat
Women. She'd been gone far too long for his liking; it never took this long for simple things
like fetching people. Perhaps she didn't want to wake his father; the nurses were very gentle
when waking him up. Dilandau had half a mind to run in and jump up and down on his Father. He
grinned at the idea but sobered as he imagined Omi face when she would hear about it. Dilandau
sighed but made a mental note to do it in the future, a lot. He heard the soft steps coming from
the direction the Cat Women had left in and a pair of heavier footsteps followed. His Father.
Dilandau jumped off the sofa and overbalanced falling over flat onto his face. He groaned and
looked up just in time to see the Cat Women and his Father enter the room. Merle sighed and
rushed over to the child and picked him up dusting him down, from the imaginary dust that she
was pretending was there. Merle didn't want to see Van's reaction. She watched as Dilandau
struggled to tear his eyes from Van.
Van looked down at his and Hitomi's son. He was kind of disappointed that their son hadn't
taken after Hitomi more but he was happy anyway he saw more of Folken in the boy but he had
more boyish look with wider eyes and a cute, soft oval face. So he had a part of two people
in one, he grinned down at the boy and watched as relief flowed thought the boy's face and as
Merle relaxed too. Van grin grew wide and he walked over to Merle and his boy. He placed a hand
on Merle's shoulder's "Would you mind? I'd like to get to know my son better." Merle turned and
smiled.
"Of course I wouldn't mind Van. Now I'll see you both at breakfast I hope."
Merle gave Dilandau a kiss and whispered gently into his ear, "You'll get along just fine,
don't worry." She stood and gave a little bow and left by the large oak door to the side of
the room.
Van looked down at his son who appeared to be nervous. He could understand that.
"So…., Can you talk? Are you able to yet? I'm sorry but I don't know that much about children."
Dilandau gulped, "Yes…Father?" Van smiled slightly at the question in his son's voice.
"You can call me that if you like. What would you like me to call you though?" Van said
thinking along the line of a term of endearment. Dilandau clucked his tongue thoughtfully.
"Omi…Omi call me Dilly, I like it. You call me too?" He turned his head up too face Van.
Van mulled over the name in his head. Dilly, it was so different to Dilandau and was a world
away from the memories that remained of Dilandau. Of course when he came to the throne he would
have to revert back to Dilandau, but he'd properly do that when he became a teenager anyway.
Yes, Dilly did seem to be a rational solution. "Yes, I like Dilly, I think it suits you. Shall
we go down to breakfast? Then after we'll spend the day together huh?"
The now Dilly gave a little whoop, and raised his arms up to Van who hoisted him up onto his
shoulder and gave him a bouncy ride down to the breakfast room.
Dilly couldn't be happier perched on his father's shoulder. Everything had gone pleasantly well.
He was sure he was going to like having a Father.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Merle spooned sugar into her Goaud tea. She stirred it listlessly and sighed, seeing the boy
made her miss Hitomi. Van and Dilandau deserved to have her with them now to make their family
complete. She hated to imagine the future because she knew Van would never remarry and the
advisors had no reason to try and arrange a match for with a heir Fanlia's future was secure.
Besides the people would never accept a new queen since the now tragic love story of Van and
Hitomi de Fanel was now famed throughout all of Gaea. First the events of the Fate Conflict,
then her return. Merle sat back and recited her favourite part as it was told by village
storytellers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"After the Fate Conflict when all the country's rebuilt themselves a great festival was
announced to celebrate. The Queen of Austuria called that the guests of honour should be
The heavenly knight, Allen of Austuria, King Van de Fanel of Fanlia and his beloved Hitomi
Kanzaki, the great Seer from the Mystic moon.
Our Lord Van called forth the Lady Hitomi from the Mystic moon and asked if she would stay
just for the Festival. She accepted on the condition that Lord Van would be her escort for the
event. They travelled to Freid were the festival was to begin in
a few hours of their arrival. The Lady Hitomi asked her cherished Van to take her to the
wonderful gardens that Fried boasts and they spent a few hours in peace.
The Heavenly knight arrived with his sister Celena, who had once been the feared Dilandau.
And hearing that Lady Hitomi had returned to visit towed his young charge to meet the gentle
Hitomi the women with whom Lord Van had pledged his heart for all eternity.
We all know of the feared Dilandau's passionate hate towards Lord Van, and that it was
rumoured throughout the ladies in Austria that the passionate feelings remained towards Van
inside the Kind Celena but had turned to those of devotion for Our King. The knight of the
heavens was not aware of his youthful sister's attachment to his close friend, nor would he
approve or encourage such affection. Knowing that his majesty would break her heart because
of his love for Hitomi. So the noble knight accompanied by his elegant sister to the rich
gardens of Freid. Where the sweet Celena was confronted by the unmistakable look of love that
embrace the face of Lord Van for Hitomi.
The distressed Celena watched throughout the festival as her love and Hitomi came closer. She
is said to have told the Lady Merle that she was glad that Hitomi would never stay on Gaea.
The melancholy Celena took comfort in the fact that Van and Hitomi would part soon and after
the festival she would try to pursue a relationship with Lord Van knowing that he would need
company when he was so lonely. So with her hopeful plan for her future Celena watched as Lady
Hitomi was given the greatest honours Gaea could bestow.
The lady Hitomi blushed and thanked the people of Gaea and shouts from the crowd called for
a kiss from Lord Van for The distinguished Seer. This tore at the Lady Celena as in front of
her, the man she revered kissed the women she knew would take any chance of Van returning
affection away from her. As the sweethearts kissed each other a chance came over the gentle
maiden. Her softness dispersed and was replaced by the cold, hard heart of Dilandau in her
ladylike body and fury towards the ladylove of Van.
Celena attacked a guard and tore the sword from his hands and charged to the stage and flew
at lady Hitomi. The knight of the heavens intervened before his sister reached Hitomi and Lord
Van placed himself in front of Hitomi. With swords drawn the heavenly knight tried to reason
with his sister before a blow could be struck. He reminded her she had never trained to fight
and he begged to know what was wrong had Dilandau taken over. After these words the girl
screamed and lunged at her brother cutting his now famous scar across his forehead. And plunged
the sword into his side creating a near fatal wound. She then kicked him off the sword and
threw the Knight into Lord Van. As the two fell to the ground Celena charged Hitomi who
fortunately with her training in speed managed to avoid the blow and kick Celena into the
company of guards approaching. The guards disarmed the screaming girl and held her tightly
as Lord Van rose to his feet supporting the bleeding Allen. Calls came for punishment of
Celena but the Lady Moyàsu a capable healer examined the girl who she believed was being
controlled by Dilandau from within. So the Girl was taken to be healed of her problems by
the Lady Moyàsu.
After this event Lord Van turned to Lady Hitomi and in front of every attending Gaean asked
for her hand in marriage. Proclaiming that he would do anything to spend his life with her
and he would never forgive himself if he never asked for her hand at this moment when he had
once again seen why it was he loved her. He promised his love would continue even if she
declined his proposal. Since our lady Hitomi's heart was so abundant and attached solely
towards Lord Van more tears then the sea fell from her eyes as she accepted with delight. All
the people present cheered as Our Lord and his Lady embraced. The festival was closed early
and the marriage of the King of Fanlia to the Seer of the Mystic Moon was arranged for 3 weeks
after.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Merle sighed and stared deep into her tea, she hated to imagine Van being alone but she also
hated to see him with anyone other then Hitomi. She hoped Van and the boy would get on after
all they were all they had left of each other now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh Allen, I'm so happy to be well again! Can we travel for a while? I'd love to thank
everybody for being so kind while I was ailing." Celena embraced her brother.
"If that would make you happy I'll have a boat prepared right away." Allen smiled and kissed
his sister softly on her cheek. "Where do you want to go first?"
"Fanlia." Stated Celena.
"Fanlia? Is that such a good idea?"
"Of course, I want to apologise for my actions and see Lady Moyàsu again. Do not worry brother
everything will go just fine with Lady Moyàsu there." She smiled softly at Allen who sighed
and tugged her hair affectionately.
"Fine we will go but if you feel at all unwell you tell me ok?" kissed her softly upon her
forehead and left.
"Of course brother if I feel unwell again you find out about it." Celena smiled and traced
a finger down her cheek softly as she watched her brothers frame retreating.
