Chapter 8:With the Good Comes the Bad
Hitomi sat in the centre of the royal gardens. Yukari, Allen and Van along with some servants and guards stood off to the side and watched. A faint, golden aura began to emit from Hitomi. The aura then grew brighter and stronger. It wasn't long until it had gone from a simple aura to a pillar of golden light. Van looked at his wife uneasily, fearing that the pillar would take her away from him.
Hitomi held the pink pendent in her hands and focussed on nothing but her power being drawn to it. She could sense the people watching her but she did not care. The sooner I get those men off of Gaea, the better . . . Once she felt there was enough power drawn into the pendent, her eyes snapped open. She looked off into the distance, to where she had seen the men.
A blue pillar of light shot up from the ground in the direction of the Mystic Moon. Van and the others felt relieved that they were now gone and Gaea would be safe. Once the blue pillar had disappeared, the golden one around Hitomi faded to an aura then to nothing. Hitomi let out a sigh as she shut her eyes once again.
Van ran over to her and knelt down beside her. Hitomi opened her eyes and smiled. "It worked. They're gone . . .banished from this world." the two embraced each other. Hitomi tried to stand up as Van did but she simply fell to her knees.
"Hitomi, are you alright?" Van asked concerned.
"Ya, I'm just a little weak from using all that energy." Van smiled as he bent down and picked her up.
"Then I shall carry you." Hitomi smiled back and wrapped her arms around his neck.
In a land not too far away, a woman dressed in a long black velvet dress smiled mischievously. "Soon . . .soon I shall have my revenge. . ." her voice hissed in a whisper. Her icy blue eyes narrowed as she watched the golden pillar of light disappear. And soon I'll kill that bitch. She deserves to doe for all that she's put me through . . .
A/N: I know it's short but I kind of want to stop the chapter there so you can guess who's this mysterious woman. Is it Siren again? You'll just have to wait to find out.
