Lost Loves
Chapter 1
He looked to the East, wanting to see something he new wasn't there. It was the same every night. He'd come to the guest room and just stare at the two moons. But as always he would go to sleep still yearning the missing piece to the puzzle which was his life. Van Fanel knew that he should let his life move on, but how could he when he had lost his most important treasure. It had been two years. Two long years of torture. Why couldn't his heart just let go?
The sudden crash behind him brought him back to reality. "What the...........?" but before he finished he was interrupted by a soft feline voice. " I'm sorry Lord Van. I didn't mean to. I came to tell you that the guards saw some funny light or something in the forest and thought that you should know. But I'm sure it's nothing, right. Just............." Merle's small voice trailed off as she saw the look in her Lords eyes. She knew what he was thinking. One word left his lips as he began to run through the open doors. "Hitomi...................."
The cold winter air was harsh on the young King's bare arms as he galloped through the night with his guards following closely behind. They made there way to where they saw the light. As they got closer, Van thought that he heard a girls voice moaning. As the group carried on the moans got louder. Van's heart was racing. 'It's OK Hitomi. I'll find you! I'll save you!', he thought as he saw movement up ahead. He swiftly forced his horse to stop and jumped down, running the rest of the way. He found the girl easily, with a large figure towering above her. She lay curled up in a ball facing the floor. The mystery assailant ran at the site of the gleaming unsheathed sword that young King held tightly in his hands. He gently helped the girl to sit up and whispered to her, "Hitomi!" But as he turned her to face him, he looked into a pair of terrified blue eyes, not green.
Van was so shocked. It wasn't Hitomi. His heart ached and all he could do was hold on to this stranger and cry with her. After a few minutes the guards caught up to their King. Van turned away hiding his tears as the healer that was now with them looked over the girl and found only bruises and grazes. Van swept the now calmed girl up into his strong arms and carried her to his horse. He mounted holding this strange girl close to him and rode back to the castle in silence.
'Where am I?' Tamzin thought as she woke to strange surroundings. She was in a large four post bed which was in the centre of an even larger room. She tried to remember what had happened the night before. She had a head full of different images but nothing fitted together. All she could clearly remember was being engulfed in a bright light. But even that seemed more like a dream than reality. 'A light that teleported me away from home...... Yeah right!' she thought. 'I wish!' She looked carefully at her arms and legs inspecting all the bandages that covered them. ' What have I been up to??'
Van had been waiting outside the guest room for what seemed like an eternity now. He needed answers. Either that or his head would explode! Was the girl from the mystic moon? How did she get here? Did she know Hitomi..........? He looked at the shining pendant that hung around his neck. He took a deep breath, knocked on the door then gently pushed it enough so he could just step through. The girl inside turned and stared at him still looking very scared. Van's heart skipped a beat as he took in the sight that sat before him. She looked so much like Hitomi. Her hair was a little longer and she had brilliant blue eyes, but she was the image of his lost love. " Who are you?" She asked breaking the silence. "King Van of Fanelia. And you are?" He answered trying to stop himself from staring. "Tamzin." She replied weakly. "Where am I?" " You're in Fanelia, Gaea. Do you know where that is?" She shook her head as a small tear rolled down her pale cheek. Van sat down at the end of the bed his head spinning. "Are you from ........ Earth?" he ventured. She nodded slowly. She seemed so confused and lost but so pretty at the same time. " Am I not on Earth?" Her eyes began to fill with fresh tears. At that moment Van just wanted to hold her and stop the tears from falling, but all he could do was hold back and say, "Let me try and explain."
In a dark room a spirit awoke which had lay dormant since the fall of the Zaibach empire. " Soon my children. Soon you shall live to serve me once more........."
