Escaflowne #2
The Song Disclaimer: I don't own Escaflowne or anything in Escaflowne. Well, here is the second chapter. I have already finished this, so all I need to go is upload it. Have fun reading!
Lina heard a strange tune that filled the air. Someone was whistling. It was a shadow, at a desk.
"Dilandau?" she muttered.
She walked up to the desk. It wasn't Dilandau. It was the man with the cloak. He was whistling. "A fake arm?" Lina said.
The man didn't look up. He couldn't see her. "Sir?" Lina muttered.
The man stood up and looked out the window. The door behind her opened and Dilandau, the boyish man, walked in. He looked mad.
"Dilandau?" Lina asked loudly, hoping he would hear.
"Folken." Dilandau stated.
Lina looked back at the man, named Folken. "What?"
"I don't know why we can't just kill Van and get Escaflowne."
"Because Van is my brother."
The room faded away.
Lina awoke on her bed, holding the glove. "Folken." she muttered aloud.
Her mind quickly flashed to the last dream. Van was there, the boy in the red shirt, with a man named Allen. Lina sat up in bed, looking back at the glove.
"Dilandau.what does this all mean? Just what am I seeing? What is Gaea?" Lina whispered to the glove.
The song Folken had been singing came back to her. She felt like she could hear it again. It's haunting tune filled her senses and she closed her eyes.
"I don't know why we just can't kill Van and get Escaflowne."
The words rang in her head. The young boy, with Escaflowne. Was he too in danger?
"Are you.here to save me?"
What was Dilandau speaking about? Did he want to be saved? "Our world.Gaea."
"Gaea." Lina whispered to no one but herself.
The word bounced off the walls and went into her mind. The fields and dragons. The water. Austria. Fanelia. Guymelifs. Where was she getting this picture from?
Lina strained her vision. She could see an outline of a girl. The girl turned to her.
"H.Hi.Hitomi?" Lina muttered. The world faded and Lina was back on Earth.
Lina had indeed fixed the gap between Gaea and Earth. Lina had become the one to go to Gaea, the one to fix the deeds the man Dornkirk was trying to rule. She didn't know it, but even though it would take a while to get to Gaea, it would be well worth it in the end.
Lina couldn't keep her focus in school the next day. Her mind kept traveling to another world. Gaea. Ever since she had been little, she dreamt about other worlds where she could go and visit. So now I can. I can go somewhere else. Gaea, a world I hardly know anything about. The boy, Dilandau, was etched into her mind. It had been two days since anything Gaea releated had happened. Hitomi.are you too on Gaea?
Lina looked out at the sunlight casting shadows on the cobblestone path. The teacher went on and on, but suddenly, Lina blocked her out. She didn't care about poems, or anything for the time being. Lina just glared out the window, when a bolt of white light blasted down on the planet. Lina sat up straighter, a figure was forming. It was.it was Dilandau! Lina plastered herself against the window. Dilandau turned to her, his face in shock.
"Lina?" he mouthed to her. Dilandau just looked at her and Lina stared back at him. In the distance she could hear the teacher calling on her, but it didn't matter.
"Dilandau." she muttered. Dilandau walked up to the window and looked at her, his red armor glinting off by the sunlight. At once, Lina felt a huge amount of sadness. She wanted to go with him to Gaea. No where else. The song Folken had been whistling came back to her. The beam of light went around Dilandau and he looked at her, finally vanishing.
"LINA!" Lina snapped her head to the front of the room.
"What are you DOING?" cried the teacher.
"Sorry miss."
The teacher yelled at her for a more seconds and then went back to teacher. The boy in front of her turned around.
"Who's Dilandau?" he asked.
Lina didn't answer, just looked away.
Lina bolted out of school and ran down the steps.
I'll find a way to Gaea!
Yes, she would. Lina would go to Gaea. It would be the best way to settle her heart for adventure. She didn't care if she never returned. She would leave this place.
But how?
Lina pushed the thought away and ran quickly down the sidewalk, bursting into her house, empty. Lina ran upstairs and closed her bedroom door, pulling out the glove.
"Come on..take me there.get me to Gaea!"
Nothing happened. "Come on you stupid thing!"
She heard a large THUD and spun around. "What the.?" she cried, jumping back.
A boy in armor was on the floor, his white hair moving with the fan in her room. He looked up. "Dilandau?!" she wailed.
Dilandau stood up and did a doubletake around the room. Quickly he ran to the window. "Where am I?!" he screamed to her.
He seemed to be angry. "Earth."
"EARTH? THE MYSTIC MOON?" Dilandau cried.
Lina just nodded, to taken aback at the fear and anger the boy had. He slumped down in a chair. "Let me go.let me go to Gaea."
"I didn't mean to bring you here! I was trying to go there!" Lina exclaimed.
Dilandau looked at her, "You wanted.to go to.Gaea?"
Lina nodded. Dilandau stood up and walked to her.
"You are.I mean.why?"
"Why what?" she asked him.
"Why go to Gaea? There is nothing there but war.and pain!" he said, looking down.
Lina's eyes rolled in the back of her head and she hit the floor.
"Lina?" Dilandau's fading voice cried.
Lina was in a great and large vally. Not the one before. This one had flower and peace.
"Lina." A voice said and she spun around.
"Mr. Folken?" Lina felt herself shudder.
Folken looked at her, "You talk to Gaea, and you want to come here."
"Yes."
"This planet is not like yours. It is a warring planet. A planet of hatred."
"What is Escaflowne?!"
Folken looked at the vally, "The dragon. To control fate, one must have it."
"Control.fate? Who would want to do that?"
"Me.my master.Dilandau."
"Dilandau?!" she cried.
Folken's face grew kind, "Free us. Help us escape Dornkirk. Please, Lina."
Folken faded away.
Lina's eyes opened and she looked at Dilandau, looming over her, trying to wake her.
"Dilandau." she whispered.
He stopped shaking her. "You.want to control fate.?" she asked.
"Who.Who told you that?!"
"Mr. Folken." Lina whispered.
Dilandau looked out the window, "Take me back to Gaea." He muttered.
"Don't you mean home?"
"If it's home, it doesn't feel like it." Dilandau said.
Lina's hands traveled to the scar on Dilandau's face. He shuddered and looked at her.
"You're in pain." She stated.
Dilandau didn't reply. Lina felt the scar and gently pulled away. Dilandau looked at her once more, deeply into her eyes and looked away.
"Take me to Gaea." Lina begged.
"Why?"
"You're the only one who can! I beg of you! Please, Dilandau!" she screamed.
Dilandau looked at her and that was when she noticed he was wearing her bracelet.
"You're a strange girl. When I saw you at the vally, I thought something was wrong with me. I didn't understand who you were. I was lost too. And when I saw you again.I knew you were real because I saw you.I felt your hand. My glove was gone. You had to be real. I don't.understand."
"Tell me, Dilandau," Lina started and Dilandau looked up, "Is another girl from Earth there? The Mystic Moon I mean."
Dilandau nodded, "Yes. She works for Van. She helps him escape with her damn powers." he slammed his fist on the floor.
"Is by any chance.her name.Hitomi?"
Dilandau looked at her in shock, "Yes!"
Lina just nodded.She heard the front door open. "Crap. My mom is home. If she sees you, I'll have a lot of explaining to do." Lina muttered.
Dilandau looked at the moon, "He's here."
"Who?" Lina asked quickly.
"Van."
Her mind flashed back. "I'll kill him now! For what he did to my face!" Dilandau screamed and opened the window.
"Wait! Dilandau!" Lina wailed.
"Honey? Do you have a guest?" Lina didn't respond to her mother, but leapt after Dilandau. She hit the dirt with a thud and chased after him.
"DILANDAU!"
"I HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL, VAN!" Dilandau screeched.
Lina chased after him, breathing hard. His red armor reflected against the moonlight. Lina looked up.
"Gaea!" she cried.
Gaea could be seen now. Lina looked back at Dilandau and they reached a clearing. There stood Van, with Escaflowne.
"It's real." she whispered.
Escaflowne was a huge giant. Guymelif.
"Guymelif." She said, the word rolling strangly off her tounge.
Van looked around, and a girl came out from the shadows. "We're on Earth." It was Hitomi.
"Hitomi?" exclaimed Lina.
Hitomi looked at her, "Lina? What are you doing here?"
Lina and Hitomi had only talked once, when Lina had wanted a reading. "Burn Van! Burn!" cried Dilandau.
Lina turned to Dilandau, "Stop, Dilandau!" she cried.
Dilandau turned to her, "He scarred my beautiful face!"
Dilandau and Van charged at each other. "STOP!" shrieked Lina.
Hitomi ran over to her. "Hitomi.make them.stop!"
Hitomi replied, "I can't. Their hatred for each other is too strong."
The two fought, sword against sword. Dilandau stuck out his hand and fire emited from the edge of his fingertips. Lina gasped and Van jumped up in the air, behind the fire. "BURN BURN BURN!" screamed Dilandau.
"He's like a demon." Whispered, Lina, without knowing it.
"I know." Hitomi muttered.
Lina heard loud clock ticking in her ears. At once, the world around her went into flames.
"Dilandau?" she cried, looking for someone, but coughing instead. She hit the floor.
"Help!" Lina cried. The fire came in closer and she looked up to see Dilandau.
"Save me.please.before I hurt myself."
At once he faded and Lina screamed out his name. The ticking grew louder and there was silence. The flames burned out and she found herself staring at the sky. Gaea looked down at her. She sat up, rubbing her eyes. Hitomi and Van were standing over by Escaflowne. Hitomi had a look of shock upon her face. Van looked dumbfounded. Dilandau looked ashen faced and shocked too. He walked over and crouched down to her.
"Lina." he whispered.
Lina looked at him, "Dilandau.Stop." she whispered.
His eyes had an emotion she couldn't make out. His put his hand onto her own. "Come on." He whispered to her.
At once, the beams of light circled around Escaflowne, Van and Hitomi. They rose upward. Dilandau and Lina were also circled in the light.
"We're going to Gaea." He muttered in her ear.
Lina felt herself grow weak. She put her arms around his neck and felt herself raising up. She looked down to see her house, and the people soon become dots. Lina brought herself closer to Dilandau, shaking. His scent overcame her senses and she put her head against his shoulder. Lina slept.
