When the girl from the mystic moon returned
Chapter 6: fate
"Oh Hitomi…" Van whispered under his breath as he stared out the window. "Please be ok my love." He silently prayed. Although it had only been a few days since the fateful white light had taken Hitomi again, Van had been worrying himself sick about her.
"She isn't dead though." Van told himself. He would know if she was. He could feel that she was still alive.
He was off in his own little world, thinking about Hitomi when he felt a sharp pain in his ribs bring him back to reality. He looked down to see Merle elbowing him.
Sending a concerned look, Merle mouthed to him,
"Are you ok?"
Van nodded and turned his attention to the room. While he was daydreaming, Allen and Selena had entered the room and were being presented. Just at the sight of Allen, make Van's blood boil. Taking deep breaths he remembered his advisor's words that he had said to Van earlier.
*
"Since Allen and Dil…er…Sele.." He stopped confused on who to blame. Van nodded for him to continue. "Yes, so since the two of them have threatened your life, you are able to punish them. Now it's up to you on how. I would suggest banishment, and nothing to do with death. If Austeria found out that Fanilea killed one of their Knights of Caeli, there's no telling what they might do."
"But what about the fact that seriously hurt Lady Hitomi?" Van asked.
"Well there's nothing really you can do…. unless she was your wife or fiancée…"
"But she is! I asked her to marry me!" Van nearly screamed.
"Did she agree?"
"Well…she didn't say..." Van mumbled.
His advisor raised an eyebrow.
"It's complicated." Van said and shuffled out of the room.
*
Van shook his head.
"Your majesty?" An advisor asked.
"Hmm…yes?"
"How would you like to punish Allen Shezar Knight of CAELI and Lady Selena?" The advisor drew out the word Caeli as if to remind Van of what he said before.
Van sat back, thinking quickly.
"I'll banish Allen from Fanilea to keep my advisor's happy. But what about Selena?" Van asked himself. A conversation with Selena suddenly popped into his mind
*.
"It wasn't your fault. You had no control over Dilandau and also Folken commanded you too." Van remembered himself saying.
"Thank you." She whispered. "Whenever people talk about the destruction that Dilandau did they blame me. No one understands the battle that went on inside me."
*
"She had no control, she had no idea what Dilandau was doing." Van thought, knowing what he had to do.
"Your majesty?" The advisor asked again.
"Yes, I have made a decision. Allen Shezar, for putting myself, the King of Fanilea in danger you will be banished from Fanilea." Van stole a look at his advisor's who were nodding approvingly.
"And Lady Selena," Van said turning his attention to Selena, "there is no punishment." His advisors jaw's dropped.
"But-but-but your majesty…." They stammered. Van held up a hand.
"It wasn't Selena how caused all the destruction and everything else. It was Dilandau. Selena had no control over what Dilandau was doing."
Selena clasped her hands in front of her chest, her eyes shining with tears.
"Thank you, thank you" She mouthed over and over again.
"But your majesty!"
"And that's final." Van said firmly smiling at Selena. His advisor's had no choice but to agree.
"Yes your majesty."
"That's more I like it." Van thought.
"I hear by declare that Allen Shezar, Knight of Caeli is forever banished from Fanilea. If he is seen on Fanilea from this day forward…" They droned on and on, but Van ignored them. His mind was only focused on one thing. The bright green-eyed brunette that he loved.

"I bet that Lord Van's happy that the marriage between him and Selena is off for good." Katalie said.
"You bet." Merle replied. "He's more than happy, he just isn't showing it. He's too…"
"…worried about Hitomi." Katalie finished. Merle nodded. The two were lazing around on both of their favourite spot. The castle roof. Sitting up a bit, Merle grabbed a handful of grapes that she had sneak from breakfast.
"Do you think Hitomi's ok? Like you don't think that she's…" Merle started uneasy. Despite herself, Merle had come to actually like Hitomi. "For Lord Van's sake though." She reasoned with herself.
"No no, Hitomi's strong…" Katalie comforted Merle. "Don't worry about her."
Merle gave a small smile of appreciation.
"I hope you're right Katalie." She thought as she lied back down, "for Lord Van's sake I pray that you're right."

Van clawed his way through a thick fog. He couldn't see anything in front of him, not even his hands. Finally Van saw a faint light shine through the dense fog. Running towards it, the light got brighter and brighter until he stumbled out of it. Letting out a sigh, Van realized that he had been holding his breath. Taking several deep breathes to satisfy his lungs Van looked around. He was a room that he had never seen before. It looked like a Zaibach sorcerers' room. With the exception of the windows and the white peeling paint. A bed stood against the far wall. The humming of machines were heard from their places around the bed. Wires and tubes lead from the machines to the bed. Van stepped closer to get a better look of the bed. A limp figure laid almost perfectly still there. As Van got closer, he had to shield his eyes from glared of the sun coming in through the windows.
"Hit-hitomi…?!" Van cried out. In a sea of wires and tubes laid Hitomi. Her eyes were shut and her mouth set in a thin line. Without thinking, Van ran to her side. Before he reached her there was a high-pitched noise. Van covered his ears with his hands. The noise was almost deafening. People dressed in white clothes rushed into the room. Van stood there in fear. What were they going to do once they saw him? But to Van's disbelief they did nothing. They acted like he wasn't even there. He gasped when a tall, thin lady ran right through him. Van stumbled back a bit. His mind reeling. He turned his head towards Hitomi, the men and women were checking pieces of paper, and the strange machines. Van could hear the shouts and loud talking of the men and women, but their words jumbled together and didn't make any sense.
"Hitomi!" Van cried. He tried to run to her side, but something stopped him and he felt himself being pushed backwards. Preparing himself to hit the floor, Van's eyes popped open in surprise when he didn't feel anything. A small nose escaped his throat as he saw Hitomi and the men and women fade from view. Everything was getting darker and darker. It was like a sea of darkness that was washing everything away.
"HITOMI!!" Van yelled in hope to stop the darkness and make her ok.
Van kept on falling…and falling… and it kept on getting darker…and darker…
"GASP!" Van bolted up in his bed. Sweat covered him, and his covers were twisted and thorough to the end of the bed. His heart pounded fiercely and his breathing was erratic.
"That same dream again." Van mumbled. Since Hitomi had disappeared in to white light two weeks ago, Van had been having the same dream. But every time he had it, the dream extended a bit farther. The darkness and the sense of falling was new though. Van's fingers automatically when to his pendant.
"Hitomi has got to be ok." Van said to himself. "I would feel something if she wasn't…"
Taking deep breathes Van looked out the window and at the Mystic Moon.
"You've just got to be ok Hitomi…"
