Chapter 1: Falling




It had been three years since Hitomi's encounter with Van. Three years since the Great War, and

three years since Van and Hitomi had been together.


Hitomi sat upon the railing watching the birds fly by. Every since she had returned from Gaea

she always wanted to be closer to the sky. Since she couldn't fly this was as close she got. The top of

the highest balcony that she knew of.


Sitting on the railing having her legs dangling down, nothing but her balance kept her from falling.

This was a perfect spot you could see everything going on from watching the treetops to the lightened city.

People hardly ever came here, much like the roof tops Van liked to sit upon to gaze at the Mystic Moon.

What was unfortunate about this spot was she couldn't see Gaea, making her wonder if it was part of her

overactive imagination or if it was reality. But she'd convince herself Van was real and so was Gaea.


Hitomi had changed since she came back from Gaea, she had a lot more confidence in herself as well

as bravery. The battles between Zaibach had strengthened her. Her hair grew over the last three year, she

was a little bit taller, but she still had her athleticism. Running any chance she got. Although she daydreamed

during school her grades improved. Gradually, she was getting her life back.


As the light breeze flew through her sandy brown locks of hair, she could have sworn she saw feathers

floating by. Those pure white feathers scattering everywhere. A flock of white doves fluttered across

startling her. Scattering even more feathers as if it were snowing.

Fanelia rebuilt over the span of the three years. It had many people, and was prosperous as it

once was. The people of Fanelia were very loyal to their king... Van. Although sometimes he would be

lost in his own thoughts he still was a powerful ruler.


Deep in his soul however, he still had a yearning to say those three little words to Hitomi. He

could still remember the last time they saw each other. But he could never tell her, because he felt that

she was in love with Allen. Even now, he wondered if Hitomi thought of him. Little did he know Hitomi thought

of Van every waking second. Still, late at night he would climb on the rooftops of the palace and gaze at

the mystic moon. Sometimes he would see Hitomi's emerald eyes piercing his own auburn ones through the time

and space. It may sound crazy but he could feel it. They may live lightyears apart, but they still had a

special connection.


Van was now eight-teen years of age, and his advisors told him it was time he must find a queen for Fanelia.

In other words get a wife to bare an heir to the throne. Van would often meet with princesses from all

around Gaea. (He wouldn't make these arrangements, his advisors took the liberty.) And each princess he met

he turned down. They weren't what he was looking for........ they weren't Hitomi.

Hitomi sat upon that balcony railing for the past few hours, but decided it was time to leave. After

all she had a lot of homework to do. She convinced herself to stay a couple minutes longer, just to admire

the fields in the distance. She loved the smell of the fields, for obvious reasons like it reminded her of Gaea

and a certain someone she missed terribly.


As Hitomi was getting off the railing, a gust of wind slammed shut the door leading to the balcony. Making

Hitomi lose her balance. She tried to grab hold of something anything but, came out empty handed. She was falling

and she awaited her fate with the concrete sidewalk below.
