Chapter 5:Precoious Jewel
The morning soon over the land of Fanelia. Hitomi and Van has just arrived back on Gaea day before. Just when they thought the journey was over; it had just begun again. Hitomi awakened with the sound of birds fluttering by. She wasn't used to this at all, for in Japan she would awaken by the street sounds and chattering people walking along the sidewalk. She liked the peacefulness of Fanelia, even though some of the buildings had crumbled from the enemies' liquid metal. The Palace was damaged but that was the least of her worries. Another war had broken out, innocent people would parish and it is going to be up to her and Van to save Gaea once again. Van had told her they would be heading for Asturia in the afternoon. She couldn't wait to see Allen, and Malerna.
"You'll be needing this." Van stated as he took the pendant and handed it to her.
The pendant, Hitomi almost couldn't believe that Van had kept it all these years. She took it out of his hand, placing it around her neck. It felt good having the simple treasure around her neck again.
"Thank you." Hitomi replied.
She remembered her grandmother whom gave her that precious jewel. Wishes really do come true she thought, as she recalled the night she saw the shooting star. She had wished to be back on Gaea, to see everyone, to see Van. She had missed everyone, and wished she knew what everyone was doing. She finally was given her chance, to catch up on those three years she lost.
Sure enough it was time to go. Van went in to Escaflowne, changing it to its dragon form… flying would be much faster. Hitomi reluctantly sat upon it and put her arms around Van's waist. They lifted off the ground and were off.
