Chapter 6:
Van and Hitomi arrived in Austria, greeted by Malerna, Dryden, and Allen. Ambushing Hitomi, Malerna hugged her till all the air was out of her lungs. After all they haven't seen each other for three years; Hitomi hugged Allen and Dryden also.
"We have so much catching up to do, Hitomi!" Malerna exclaimed.
Hitomi just smiled, this was what mattered, her valuable friends. Malerna guided her into the palace, followed by Dryden, Van and Allen.
Van and Allen had gone to discuss the war's events, and what to do. While Hitomi and Malerna talked about the old times and new.

As the sky turned to a midnight blue, everyone had been sent to their rooms for a good night's sleep. Hitomi had been restless, and sat upon the chair near the window looking out. The stars had come out and the mystic moon and its satellite was clearly visible. Hitomi couldn't help but feel torn between this world, or the other. It's true that home was where the heart is, but her heart was here on Gaea. She called Earth her home, why… because she grew up there, her friends and family lived upon that planet. Still she was torn, between her love and where she belonged. She is a person of Earth, the mystic moon. Yet she couldn't help but feel, the part of her that had been missing for all those years was finally back; she was whole again.

Van sat upon the roof of the Austurian palace thinking, thinking about Hitomi. Yet again he had held his feelings inside, having the doubt rise within. If only he weren't such a coward, for he was afraid she wouldn't return his feelings. He could still remember when Hitomi had kissed Allen, even now it hurt. Why couldn't he just have told her then, but instead he told her he wanted her power. He didn't need it, the determination within his heart would drive him through the war. Even now he didn't need it, all he needed was her to believe in him. The war would end, and then she would have to leave without hearing, what he had felt since three years ago. He would have to marry a princess, whom he could never love. It would be a loveless marriage.
