Chapter 6 - Castle of New Fanailia, Lake Fanderal
She stood at the balcony for a few minutes before she heard a knock at her chamber door. "Who is it?"
"Van. Can I come in?" He opened the door slightly and poked his head through. When he saw Hitomi on the balcony he closed the door behind him and walked across the room, out to where she stood. When he got there he set the tray he was carrying on the table, "I brought some Fanailian Vintage for us, I thought you might like to celebrate." He placed the bottle and glasses down on the table, then rested his arms on the surround.
"Why?"
He smiled, "When your sixteen on Gaea, you're allowed to drink wines and champagne."
She noticed that he had a small bandage, tied in a knot, around the top of his right arm. "What happened?"
He stared down at the bandage and said, "Oh, it's nothing, it's just a small cut from a meluf claw." He looked in the direction of Hitomi's re-nued gaze, "What are you doing?"
"I'm trying to place the constellations I know in the sky."
"Conster .... what?"
"Constellations, there!" She pointed to a set of stars, "Those three stars, up there, are called Orion's belt, on Earth." She lowered her head and arm.
"Oh!" He said, fascinated by the white beads of light in the sky, "It never occurred to me to name them." She giggled and he turned towards her, he smiled, realizing the differences between their worlds. "Do you miss your home?" He asked.
There was a slight pause before she answered, "Sort of, but when I'm home I miss Gaea ... It's a vicious circle." She turned around and leaned her back against the balcony surround, placing her hands either side for support.
After a moments consideration he stood up straight and said, "I got an idea. You wanna come?" He didn't like to see her in anguish.
He summoned Escaflowne and looked around for it until it came to him. He beckoned her to step on first as it hovered close to the balcony. She did so. Van jumped in after her and placed his sword sheath to one side. He took control of the gear stick and pulled Escaflowne back so he could glide out swiftly. They flew by farmland until they came to, seemingly, endless forest. He looked behind him, to her, and grinned, menacingly. He turned back and reared Escaflowne. He let it nose dive towards the forest, "Van, quit it!" She cried as they plummeted towards the floor.
"What? Can't hear you." He bluffed. Just as all seemed lost Escaflowne pulled out of it's descent and skimmed the tree tops. As it gained height again, Hitomi noticed small, white birds erupting from the vegetation. They flew to all sides of the huge white Dragon. Van started laughing childishly as the birds danced in Escaflowne's wake and infront of him.
Hitomi gasped as she looked to one side, there was a forest dragon bounding through the rows of trees. Van caught it out of the corner of his eye and swooped down. They followed it a ways, hanging just above or to the side of it. Hitomi burried her head in his shirt when the yellow, gleaming eye settled on her, and tightened her grip around his waist. The dragon started to turn right, so they turned left, heading away from the beast.
Hitomi was breathless and speechless, she was still frozen in terror at the feeling of being scrutinized by those yellow eyes.
They landed in a small beach cove, next to a lake. Van broke their silence and whispered in her ear, "Close your eyes and stay there." She closed her
eyes and could hear Van jump out of Escaflowne. "It's OK," he added, "here," he held out his hand, "hold onto my hand, I'll guide you." She fumbled for it and when she found it he guided her down Escaflowne's forearm, where he stood, and onto the ground. He landed on the grass beside her and placed his hands on her shoulders, "Keep them closed." He pushed her slowly foreward in the direction of the lake. "OK, you can open them."
She opened her eyes and was greeted by a moonlit lake, the two moons hanging loosly in the sky, they seemed bigger to her. As her eyes got accustomed to the darkness she could make out small, sparkling lizards of all colours which darted about the lake spinning on their tiny wings. She gasped, "What are they?"
"They're Fire-flits."
"They look like tiny dragons."
"Yes." The fire-flits heard their conversation and darted towards them. Van stepped back and exclaimed, "They've never done this before when I've been here!" They swerved and dived around Hitomi, letting out piecing screams in agitation.
Van ran back towards her but five fire-flits came up behind him and pushed him. He fell onto Hitomi and the two of them went crashing into the ice cold water of the lake. They sat, knee deep, in the icy cold. Hitomi smiled and lifted her arm up, splashing Van in the face. He powted as the water dripped off his face. Then he lifted both arms, sending a wave along with the water droplets, crashing into her. They started laughing and launching gallons of water at each other. Their laughter scared the flits away into the forest night.
After a short while they plodged back to the beach and Van made a small fire. He removed his shirt, shoes and socks and placed them near the fire to dry off.
Hitomi placed her blazer, shoes and socks beside Van's. She knelt down on the other side of the fire to get dry. Van came and sat down next to her, his hair was dripping and he brushed away the forelock that covered his eyes.
"This was where I came to practice my sword fighting and running after you left." He said finally, after they both caught their breath.
"Your running?" She asked, bewildered.
"Yeah, every three years or so Gaea holds an athletic compitition. I didn't enter last time but, I want to, this time." He looked up into her eyes, the gateway to an endless source of intelligence and humour, and smiled, mischieviously. He brushed away her wet fringe and leaned forward to kiss her, he placed his hands either side of her to trap her, but she could push him away easily if she wanted to resist. She didn't and he moved even closer so their bodies met. He bit her lower lip, brushing his against hers. This extracted a groan of pleasure from her throat. His sweet breath caressed her mouth as he whispered her name. She'd never felt this way about anybody before, until he came along and changed her world. She craved him so much, she lived for his every breath and his every touch on her skin. She smiled at the sensation when he kissed the nape of her neck, it tickled. He leaned heavier, pushing his wieght down on her and pinned her to the ground.
The spark ignited into a burning blaze of passion, swallowing anything it met into an endless void. The kiss met fire and ice in his soul, striking them with fury so intense it threatened to overwhelm him. A storm, raging on the horizon. It's lightning claiming all around it, a built up fury, unleashed in bolts of bright lights and tremendous earthquakes.
They shared a full night of endless desire. I never want to let you go, he thought. Finally he lost his battle against the fire and ice. He allowed his body to be swallowed into the void and was, at last, overcome by a mixture of heat derived from their bodies and the ripping pain that surged through him, whenever his wings were brought out. The white plumage burst out with vengeance, engulfing the black void with light. However, it wasn't long before the shadows ventured back and won against the light, bringing it into the void aswell.
