Van is flying on Escaflowne in dragon mode he looks up and the Firestar streaks across the night sky. Suddenly blue/green fire erupts in the sky and a green dragon emerges from the center. It's shape the same as Escaflowne, it's chest glows ready to breath fire, but the dragon holds out its clawed hand and the fire shoots upward from it's palm. All goes dim and Van sees Folken standing before him "Van, my brother, a great prophecy is unfolding, one more dangerous and more full of promise than even the threat from Dornkirk. Search for the book of Three in the lower vaults. Be guided by your love, Van" Then white wings burst from Folken's back and he fades away.

Van sits up, he had fallen asleep out by the Royal Tomb, leaning up against Escaflowne. He shakes his head wanting to believe he has had nothing but a bad dream, but from Hitomi he has learned to listen to those things he feels. He feels a sense of urgency, even more now then during the dream.
