Destiny


Sorry about getting this out so late.






Chapter 4: The Princess



During the night, Destiny started dreaming.



(Dream starts)


Destiny was in a thrown room. She saw a lady, she assumed was a princess. She had firey red hair, and the scarest red eyes Destiny had ever seen. The princess was doing something with her hands and saying something, but Destiny could not hear.

The sean shifts to a forest. Destiny could see the princess again, but this time there was a violet dragon in front of her. As if sensing her, the dragon looked to where Destiny was. Then everything went black.


(Dream ends)


Destiny woke with a start. *Just a dream.* Destiny thought as she got out of bed. There was a knock at the door, "Come in."

Merel walked in, "Hi. You must be Destiny."

"Yes. You're Merel, right? My mother told me about you."

"Correct. Breckfast will be in a few minites. It's informal, so come as you are."

"Okay, and thank you. Can you please show me where it is ?"

"Oh, no problem. So, Hitomi is your mother, huh?"

"Yep." Destiny and Merel walked out of the room.

After they were out of the door, Destiny and Merel met up with Van (who just came out of Hitomi's room.)

"Good morning, Lord Van." Merel said.

"Van, how's my mother?"

"She's still asleep,"

Merel looked at Destiny then at Van, *Lord Van and Destiny look a lot alike.*

After breckfast, Van was showing Destiny around the castle, when one of Van's advisors came up, "Your mageisty. The Princess from Andora is here."

"Why would she be here?"

"You don't remember, your magisty?"

Van thought for a moment, *Oh, right.* "Yes, I remember. I'll be there in a moment"

The advisor nodded, and walked off. "Would you like to come with me, Destiny?"

"Sure. But Van, don't treat me like a little kid. I maybe 10 years old, but I have the smarts and mituraty level of a 15 year old."

"Okay." They walked out to where the princess was going to be.

Another of Van's advisors came up, followed by a redheaded women, "King Van, may I introduce Princess Faith of Andora."

Van bowed to the princess, "Welcome to Fenalia."

"Thank you, King Van. And who is this?" Faith said indecating Destiny.

"My name is Destiny Seiruu Kanzaki." Destiny immedatly did not like this woman, *Red hair? She looks like the lady from my dreams, but she has blue eyes. Strange.* Destiny thought.

"Van, I'm going to cheak on my mother." Destiny wisperd in Van's ear.

Van nodded, then Destiny ran off.

*Stange girl. She said her last name was Kanzaki. I wonder if her mother is the legendary Hitomi Kanzaki?* Princess Faith thought, "King Van?"

"Yes"

"Who is that girl's mother?"

"Hitomi Kanzaki."

"The father?"

"I have no idea. Destiny dose not know either. I'll have my advisiors show you your room." Van motioned to one of his advisiors, "Please show princess Faith to her room."

"Of course, your magisty."

Then Van walked off to go see Hitomi and Destiny.

Destiny entered her mom's room. Hitomi was at the window. "How are you feeling, moter?"

"Better."

"Do you remember anything yet?"

"I'm sorry, I don't." Hitomi replied.

There was a knock at the door.

"Come in." Hitomi called.

Van came in, "How are you?"

"I'm fine, just trying to get used to this place. I still don't remeber this place or you."

"I can assure you have been here before. You'll remember soon."

*I need to talk to Van about my dream and about princess Faith.* Destiny thought, "Hey Van, can I talk to you for a sec?"

"Sure. Excuse us please. What's wrong?"

"Lets go to my room."

"Okay." Van followed Destiny to her room.

Once inside, "Did my mom ever have visions or dreams about the future?"

"Yes, many times. Why?"

"I had a dream last night. In my dream I saw princess Faith. Only, she had intence red eyes, instead of blue."

"What did she do?"

"She was in a thrown room, doing something with her hands and saying something, I couldn't hear it. Then I was out in a forest, she was there too. Standing infront of a violet dragon."

"That's odd. I know Hitomi had visions, and she told me once that she had a dream of our first meeting. I think you better talk to your mother about this."

"Yeah. I'm going to follow princess Faith around, ans see if she is the one from my dream. I have a bad feeling about her."

Van nodded in agrement, "I got that vibe too. Just don't get caught."

"Oh I won't." Destiny ran off to track down Faith.



Van went back to see Hitomi. Destiny walked around the castle until she came to the thrown room. She peacked inside and saw princess Faith. Destiny quitely creeped closer. The prrincess was chanting:

"Angel of the moon
Goddess of sight
May evil raign tonight
The dragon of evil
The dragon of dark
Come to me
Come to me
Come to me
Tonight."

Princess Faith kept chanting and make symbols with her hands. *From my dream! I have to tell Van.* Princess Faith turned around, and from Destiny's hidding spot her eyes where red. After Faith left, and Destiny made sure she was gone, she took off at a dead run for her mom's room.

The door to her mom's room was open. Hitomi and Van where talking, when Destiny came running in, out of breath.

"What's wrong, Destiny?" Van asked.

"Princess.....Faith...... not......what.....she......seems." Destiny replied between breaths.

"What do you mean?" Van asked.

Destiny took a deep breaths and said, "Van, you know that dream I told you about?"

"Yeah."

Hitomi spoke up at this, "Destiny, what's this about?"

Destiny procceded to tell her mom about her dream and what happened in the thrown room, ".....So I think we should follow her to the forest and see if the dragon from my dreams appears." Destiny finshed up.

"Why a violet dragon?" Van asked.

"Back on the mystic moon, we have myths of dragons. One myth is of the voilet dragon, this is acttuly more of a legend than a myth, really. the voilet dragon is also called the 'Dark One'. The Dark One was very evil, it's said that only the 'Angel of the moon' and the 'Goddess of sight' can defeat the Dark One's power. But if they have the white dragon's heart than they will lose. the two did defeat the dragon once before, now....well. I think it's coming back tonite."

"Destiny, you know that's not true." Hitomi scolded.

"I beleve they are true."

"But, who are they?" Van asked.

"I don't know." Destiny replied. Destiny talked with Van about what she was going to do tonite.

In another part of the castle, princess Faith was thinking, *So, the little brat is the mystic bitch's daughter. I'm gonn'a havta take care of her....but how? I'll consault with the Dark One. Then I'll have Fenelia, Escaflowne, and Van to myself.* Faith chuckled to herself.

After Destiny finshed talking to Van and her mother(protesting about how dangerous it was.) went to look for Merel. She found her in the garden, "Hi Merel?"

"Oh, hi Destiny." Merel said saddly.

Destiny frowned, "What's wrong?"

"I've got a bad feeling about something."

"Let me guess; you can't figure out where it's comming from."

"Yeah. It's been bugg'n me since that princess came."

"Let me tell you something that I learned. On the mystic moon we beleve animals are more intune with nature than humans. Now, I don't know if the same holds true here, but I beleve you are sensing some powerful force about to hit."

"Do you think so?"

"Yes, I do."

Merel smiled, "Do you want to play?"

"Yeah! How about tag?"

"Okay. I'm it!" Destiny and Merel started playing.

Hitomi and Van watched Destiny and Merel play. "I haven't seen Merel play like that in a long time." Van thought aloud.

"I've never seen Destiny take to stangers that fast. I trust her jugement. Please protect my little girl, I've got a bad feeling about tonite."

"You have my word, Hitomi. Nothing will harm her."

After dinner Destiny shadowed princess Faith, and Van shadowed Destiny. Priness Faith reached the spot, and started getting ready. Destiny hid behind a tree, and Van came along side.

"What's she doing?" Van whispered to Destiny.

"She's calling the 'Dark One'." She whispered back.

"We have to be carful. There's a cliff, right behind that group of trees."

The princess started to chant, and a dark voilet hue started to form.

"Van, I'll be up in the tree." Destiny whispered to Van. Van nodded.

Destiny got up into the tree, and watched. As the princess continued to chant the hue got brighter, then it took form.

*What was that dragon's name?* Destiny thought from her perch.

"Who has freed me? Who dares the power of evil?" Said the dragon.

"I have. I seek your help to rule Geia." Faith announced.

The dragon's ears went up, "Someone is watching us!"

*Uh-oh. Please don't spot me, please don't spot me.* Destiny pleded in her head.

Van kept low, *I hope they don't spot us.*

The princess looked around, "I too, sense someone nearby. If we do find someone spying on us, there is a cliff right behind these trees, behind you, Dark One."

Destiny stayed perfectly still. Then the dragon looked toward her, *Like out of my dream!*

The dragon's tail lashed out and caught Destiny, "Well, well. Who are you, young one?"

Destiny strugled in vainto get lose, "Let me go, let me go!"

The princess was suprised, "That's the mystic moon girl's daughter. We should get rid of her, the cliff."

Van's eye's widened in horror, *Are they going to...* Van followed them to the cliff.

"Any last words, young one?" The Dark One asked.

"I know who you are! You're Annocore!" Destiny replied. *That's the name.....OH boy, long fall!* Destiny thought as she looked down.

"Very smart for one so young, but your right. To bad you are not evil, we would make a fine team. Good-bye."

Van watched in horror as Annocore droped Destiny off the cliff.
