*** Cruel Fates: Van's Story ***

Nightfall took over day in the kingdom of Fanelia as the blue moon once more shone on the kingdom below. Van gazed upon his kingdom silently proud what he was able to do to bring it back from the rubble.

"Sigh… I finally rebuilt Fanelia and I should be happy but why do I feel this sudden emptiness within me?"

He let his eyes gaze upwards and admire the blue moon and stars. He sighed softly as a shooting star passed by. It has been a week since Hitomi left him to go back to Gaea and he can't help but miss the person he loved the most…

Hitomi…

Why did I ever let you go?

Why did I let you slip away from my grasp?

I should have held you in my arms

And gently placed my lips on yours

But I did not, I wanted to be strong

I wanted to believe that I could live without you

You are my light, my hope, my destiny

I can't live without you beside me

I long for your smile

I long for your innocent eyes

I long for your voice, so tender and sweet

I long for you, heart and soul

I want to hold you once more in my arms

And never let you go

Hitomi…

Sigh…

Is it our fate to be apart?
Is it going to be this way?
Would I have to live in this world without you?

Why has God done this to us?

Why? Why? Why?

Were we just not meant to be?

I love you more than anything in this world

But I let you go…

Sigh…

Hope…

Will we see each other once more?

Will I be able to hold you in my arms?

Can all I do is hope for you?

Can all I do is dream for you to be here with me?

Hope…

Love…

I love you Hitomi

Time can only separate our bodies

Fate can only separate our minds

But our love cannot be separated

I'll wait for you Hitomi…

I'll search for your soul…

I'll find you once more…

And never let you go…

Love…

I love you Hitomi

I love you…

"Lord Van…" shouted Merle.

The word, "Hitomi…", came out of Van's mouth as a small drops of tears fell from his hazel eyes.

"LORD VAN…" shouted Merle once more.

"Huh… What? Oh, Merle, what do you want?" said Van as he wiped the tears out of his eyes and put on one of his smiles.

"Sir Allen is here to see you, Lord Van…" said Merle as she dragged Van to the dining room where Allen was waiting.

"Hitomi, I promise, I'll look for you…" said Van softly as he was dragged into the dining room.

"Lord Van, did you say something?" aksed Merle, eyes twinkling.

"Nothing, nothing…" replied Van as he smiled once more and went to the the dining table to Allen.
