The Fate of Two Worlds

Chapter 4 ~ The Calm Before the Storm
~ Fanelia ~
Hitomi sighed as she walked around her luxurious bed chamber. Flowers of every color and
smell filled the area. Golden framed glass doors opened to a large marble balcony. White
netting fluttered in the breeze over the queen sized canopy bed. A dark chocolate dresser
held several bottles of perfume and jewelry. Rosy cushions of a love seat brought the room a
comforting environment. Double doors of hand carved oak shaped in the form of two angels
revealed dozens of outfits in her large closet. Her bare feet floated over the creamy velvet rug
over the blue tinted marble floor.
The young girl walked over to her full length mirror and looked over the outfit she found in her
closet. Emerald eyes scanned over the soft fabric of a forest green tunic that went over a white
shirt. Matching green pants looked glorious with the dark mud colored boots of leather that
came to her knees. Hitomi smile brighten the room as Merle's words ran through her mind,
"Lord Van~sama got all these clothes for you. Even though I really didn't approve he got you
pants. He said he knew you would want some pants because of the person you were." Those
words brought a smile to her lips. It showed Van cared about her feelings.
She walked outside on her balcony and crossed her arms on the railing. Honey locks lifted in
the wind giving her an angelic look. Milky hands fingered the flowers that bloomed on the vines
clinging to the marble. The fragrance of the flowers swirled around the lone girl causing her to
feel like she was in a garden. Sounds of metals striking could be heard faintly from below.
Hitomi's eyes fixed on the group of soldiers sparing. Each swing of a sword was like a dance
to Hitomi. Her mind was so transfixed on the bodies below that she didn't hear someone enter
her room. Soft feet walked across the smooth marble floor stealthily trying not to get attention
from the woman. Just when the young maiden turned away from the active below to return to
her chamber the intruder attacked.
Hitomi fell to the ground with the air taken out of her. A large mass laid upon her squeezing the
very breathe from her. She turned her head to she the attacker, but fur met her in the face.
"Hitomi!" she heard the familiar squeal say. The woman wiggled her way out from under the
catgirl and stood with her hands on her hips.
"Merle!" Hitomi fussed, "Can't you ever say 'Hi' without tackling me?!" The catgirl cocked her
head to one side in pretended confusion.
"But then what would be the fun in that?" Merle inquired sarcastically as she licked a paw. The
sudden uproar of laughter caused the cat to turn away from her bath. "What?" she asked the
young seeress who was double over with shaking shoulders.
Hitomi smiled at her old enemy, "Nothing. I just missed you so much."
Merle smiled a catty smile, "How could you not miss this face?" With those words she batty
her cat eyes and gave a pose that reminded Hitomi of the models in her magazines. She tried
desperately to contain her giggles, but it was in vain. Soon both were on the floor rolling with
laughter. It became so bad that Hitomi had to force herself to quit because her stomach started
to hurt. Hitomi laid across her rug as she stared at the ceiling. So much had changed since two
years ago........so much. The palace, Merle and her, the kingdom,.......everything. Everything
except Van. He appeared to be unchanged from the long period of separation. She was glad
he hadn't changed, she had been worried to come back and find a different person replacing
the one she left so long ago.
Suddenly Merle jumped onto Hitomi startling the poor girl, "Come on, Hitomi! Lord
Van~sama wanted to see you!"
~ Flying Fortress ~
Dilandau, Kusari, and Kaosu stood in the throne room discussing the actions that
should take place. The young dragon slayer was becoming more and more angry at how the
discussion was going. Finally growing so aggravated he roared out, "I say we attack NOW!"
"No, we have to wait till they have let down their guards" replied Kaosu as he looked over the
blueprints of some of the guymelefs in storage.
"Their guards are down!" yelled Dilandau at the commander who had the moment held a
patient expression on his face. Kusari placed a firm hand on the enraged man's shoulder,
"Yes, their guards are down, but we must still wait. A certain factor is still not ready. We must
wait until this factor occurs, when that happens we will attack." With that the young silver
haired man sat on the black thorn throne and clenched the arms of the chair. "But until then" he
continued showing his rank in his tone, "we will make our way to Fanelia and prepare for the
end of the young White Dragon and lovely seeress."
Suddenly large metal wheels within the belly of the fortress began to turn in great speed causing
the propellers to whirl even faster. The ship was headed towards the north......towards Fanelia.
~ Fanelia ~
Van stared at the sun setting from upon a high branch. His white wings arched
elegantly behind him. The red shirt he had always wore laid down below on the ground. This
was one of his favorite get away when he needed to get away from the castle. When he
couldn't escape on top of the roof of the castle he would resort to coming here. The large tree
was so high that he could see the horizon over the tree tops and be able to see the sun rise and
set from the top. This tree was one of several that shadowed his brother's grave and the
legendary guymelef, Escaflowne. From his viewpoint the huge giant looked rather gentle. Vines
and small shrubs had grown over most of the machine as if to hold it down from further use.
Van glided down from his perch and landed in front of his old companion. White wings merged
into his back and the young man recovered his shirt that laid in the grass. Mud colored gloves
ran over the metal beast that slept before him. It had slept through many important events. His
hollow eyes had kept close during the rebuilding of Fanelia. His strong body had not even
shudder during one of the great earthquakes. Even when the countries part of the Great War
had proclaimed their union the giant had shown no sign of life. A small smile formed on the
king's face as he remember how the two had fought together, side by side. He missed those
days when he traveled with no royal duties to think about. All that matter was himself, Merle,
and.....her.
His ruby eyes closed shut remember those days. It seemed like only yesterday since it
happened. Everyday he was with Hitomi his day seemed a little more bright. How had he been
able to go on without for the last two years?
He opened his eyes and saw the most beautiful being staring at him in the reflection of the shiny
metal.
"Van?" she whispered, "Are you all right?" Her hand rested on his shoulder comforting him. He
turned towards her and their eyes locked. Their heartbeats quicken a beat and fire ran through
their blood. They were once again in their own world. A place where their lives were left
behind. No worries, no pains, and no distractions to hinder them from their paradise.
Hitomi blushed realizing they had been staring at each other. She looked down at the ground
and removed her hand from his shoulder hoping to conceal her red cheeks. Van smiled at her.
Her cheeks looked so beautiful when they turned red like that. His glove reached out and
gently took her chin. He lifted her chin so that he could see her sparkling eyes again. He
desperately wanted to kiss her pale lips, but he was afraid to scare her away. To keep from
following his emotions he forced himself to turn away from her. He could feel her eyes staring
at his back.
Hitomi looked at him wondering what he was thinking. Did he hear her heart pounding?
Didn't hear it pounding against her chest? Was his pounding just as loud? As she stared at his
back she found herself wanting to hug him. She missed the warmth of his skin and the way she
felt a security when she was in his arms. Sudden motion caused her to come back to earth.
Van pulled out part of his heart. The one object that had connected Hitomi to him. The gift that
showed how they would forever be bound together. He held it up in the sunlight to give it a
final look before he returned it. The red stone sparkled in the sunlight that leaked through the
branches of the trees. He closed his fist concealing it from view.
The king turned towards his love who watched his hands. Van smiled and spoke dear words
that warmed Hitomi's heart, "I have to return something that has been held close to me."
He stepped forward and dangled the pendant from his hand, "Hitomi, you gave me this to
remember you forever, but I have kept it as something else. I have kept it as a promise." His
hands unclasped the chain, "The promise that you would one day return. I knew you one day
return even though I never knew when." He brought the chain around her flawless neck, "This
pendant has been what has kept me going. I could just look at it and I would see you within the
stone. It kept my heart beating." With those last words, he clasped the chain back and
withdrew his hands. Hitomi automatically held the red stone to her face and inspected it. She
could see herself in the reflection of the fiery stone and felt a peace in her heart. Suddenly she
was rushed into a vision.....
~ Vision ~
Hitomi was flying through a tunnel of light and sound. She couldn't tell if she was
flying up, down, left, or right. All she knew was she plunging through images. Images of her
past experience on Gaea. It was like her life was passing before her eyes in a matter of
seconds. She could see everything that happen, hear every sound, and feel every emotion.
A white light formed before her and she flashed into the moment she first came to Gaea....the
images past by so quickly she almost missed the whole thing.
She saw the time when she had first met Van just after he had killed the dragon.
The young girl turned to him rather shy, "Umm...are you alright?"
The strange boy snorted and threw his head back to remove the hair blocking his vision, "This
wasn't so serious that I need help from a woman. Do you want thanks? If so, then come to the
castle. But don't be conceited. I'll repay you for involving you in the dragon hunt. It doesn't'
mean that I defeated the dragon due to your help."
Anger and disgust caused Hitomi to slap the rude boy. "What's the matter with you?! I thought
you were gonna get killed... I thought you were gonna get killed... so... I was scared... ...so
scared! Why don't you say thanks or something? I shouldn't have saved a guy like you! You
should've been eaten by that dragon!" she yelled through tears.
Hitomi rushed through images again. While she was tossed and turned every which way Hitomi
watched her memories fly by. A white light flash and she found herself at another period....
She saw Van coming rescue her from the Gekos,
Van tears the top off of the ship. Hitomi automatically believes she knows whose
her savior, "Allen! Van... Van came to rescue me..." Escaflowne guided by Van gets out of the
water with Hitomi in it's hands. The young cat girl jumps atop it happily.
The young boy king studies the young girl carefully, "Are you hurt?"
Still a bit in shock all Hitomi can answer with is a simple, " No." Even when Merle had helped
untie the bindings on the poor girl Hitomi was barely able to say "thank you."
Once again Hitomi plunges into the tunnel of her past. Light flashes.....
Hitomi loses her grip and falls into the chasm.
Van watches in horror as she fell into the black pit, "Hitomi!"
She rushes downward not knowing when she might hit earth. All she wanted was to stop
falling.
Her form was growing smaller as the young boy watched from above. "Hitomi!" Van cried as
he pulls off his shirt and jumps off of Escaflowne after her. White wings burst from his tan back
causing feathers to fly. His wings arc back into a dive for speed. Van grabs her hand and
Hitomi stares in wonder at her rescuer.
"An angel...? You're..." she whispers just before she faints.
*Flash*
Van walks up behind her, feathers falling off of his wings. He looks at her with a sad look in his
eyes. She turns and stares in wonder at him, "Van..." His mystical wings glow against the dark
night sky. "Angel wings....?"
*Flash*
Hitomi arms are holding on to Van as they fly in the sky upon Escaflowne. She feels honored
to be trusted with his secrets, "Thank you.....for telling me that. Your wings.....I like your wings
very much. They're beautiful." A slight blush forms on her cheeks and she forced to look
down.
Van notices her blushing and smiles "You and Merle are the only ones who've said that."
Hitomi desperately tries to change the subject so not to blush further, "Then, I'm the same as
Merle? Geez."
*Flash*
"Van..." She holds out her pendant to him,"Here..." His strong hands gentle took the precious
gift. Her hand closes his into a fist over the bright stone, " ...keep this, Van."
He pulls Hitomi into an embrace and they hug tightly not wanting to let go. Such peace...such
love.... Tears spark her eyes and as they held on for dear life she whispered in his ear, "I'll
never forget you, even if I become old. I'll never forget, no matter what..."
*Flash*
Van holds up the energist in the sky. A pillar of light appears and Hitomi starts heading
upward.....upward towards the mystic moon. She stares down at him as she slowly leaves the
magical world.
" I'll never forget!" she vows. Van watches at the edge of the light's pillar and whispers,
"Hitomi...." He watches her fade away longingly.
*Flash*
A final rush and Hitomi leaves the dream with emerald tears trailing behind her.
~ End of Vision ~
Tears stream from her cheeks as she looks up at the raven haired man. She can see the barest
twinkle of his own tears in his eyes. Hitomi smiles through the flood of tears, "I missed you so
much, Van...." He grabs her into a hug and they both hold onto each other like if they were
never see each other again. The scene resembles a lot like how Hitomi had last left Gaea. As
the two held each other close one of Hitomi's tears fell from her cheek and landed on her
grandmother's pendant. The second the tear met the smooth stone it flashed bright red, but
neither of the two saw.
~ Flying Fortress ~
Two pairs of ice glinted at each other knowingly. Dilandau glanced over at the sudden silent me
of black. They were staring at each other with satisfied grins upon their faces. The young
dragon slayer blood began to boil. He had enough with secrets begin kept from him. He
wanted answers, and he wanted them now! His voice was about to erupt when the twin
brothers spoke. When they spoke they gave off a weird feeling. They no longer spoke like
two individuals. Identical voices spoke as one. No longer divided, but united. Their voices
gave a demonical atmosphere. Even more unearthly was the words they spoke. Words that
weren't intimidating, but the words held an immortal perceiving that cause even Dilandau to
shudder.
"It is time....." the words echoed the unholy chamber.
~I know! I know! It doesn't seem complicated, but it will be soon in the next couple of
chapters. So keep up and you won't get lost.
~I hope you like the story so far. I know there hasn't been a lot of action, but I promise it will
get into some serious action in later chapters. The beginning is mostly lemons and
fluff. Sorry to all of you who hate that, but that's how I right. Sorry.
