"Don't do it Van!" yells Hitomi Kanzaki, a high school girl who was
brought to Gaea by a mysterious presence, and is thought to be the Wing
Goddess in the prophecy of Gaea.
"I have to do this. The fate of Gaea is in my hands. Mine and nobody else's," says Van Finnel, a young king of Adom, his kingdom and hometown.
Van had been arguing with Hitomi about the final battle between him and Dilandau, the leader of Black Dragon's Dragon Slayers unit. He had pondered back and forth for a while now, wondering if he is able to defeat Dilandau.
I don't think I can do this, thought Van. I mean, if I lose, Adom AND Gaea will all belong to the Black Dragon empire. On the other hand, I won't lose. I have to win, for Hitomi, for Adom, and for all of Gaea.
As Van prepares for the battle, he comes across Hitomi. "Van, be careful. Whatever happens, I'll still love you in the end, said Hitomi as Van wraps his arms around her. "Don't worry, Hitomi, I'll be careful." Van whispers gently into Hitomi's ear, "I love you, too," and kisses Hitomi.
On his way to the mountains, Allen, unit commander of the rebellious Abaharaki, wishes him luck, as so do the rest of the Abaharaki, including Merle, a beast-human girl who has feelings for the king of Adom, and Millerna, a fierce lieutenant under the command of Allen.
"Don't leave Lord Van!" exclaims Merle. "I'm sorry Merle, but it's for the fate of Gaea," Van calmly says as he prepares to leave.
"We're wishing you the best of luck Van. Win it for us, and for every living thing on Gaea!" Allen says.
"Don't worry, everybody, I'll come back alive!" Van shouts aloud in pride. "ESCAFLOWNE!!!" he yells as the legendary armor dives from above the clouds.
As he mounts onto Escaflowne, Merle comes running toward Van, but it's already too late. Van has already ascended into the clouds above as he heads for the most important battle in the history of Gaea.
"NO! Lord Van! Lord Van!" Merle continuously shouts.
"It's no use, Merle!" says Hitomi.
"Lord Van! Come Back!"
