Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN ESCA! But Leonzar, Varomi, Daren, Hope, Memory, Rune, Aryria, Ruvan and Raena are MINE! (Wow, this list is getting long...)
A/N: Well lot's of introductions, and more to follow, wondering who Raena is? Read to find out! ^_^
Chapter 19: Lost and Found
2 years passed, and Hope and Memory were thought to be Van and Hitomi's 2-year-old daughters. Everyone was still sad about Varomi, but the twins cheered everyone a great deal. Daren and Leo were 14 now, then there was 13 Aryria, and Ruvan was nine. Every day, Hitomi would gaze at Varomi's portrait on the wall, smile and say, "I hope you're alright dear."
One day, when Hitomi was doing this, Hope wandered by and asked, "Why are you crying mommy?"
"Oh, I'm not crying dear, I got some dust in my eyes." Was Hitomi's pathetic excuse.
"Oh. Alright." Said the naïve little girl, giving Hitomi a hug before running off to find Memory.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Van and Hitomi sat in the parlor together, watching the flames dance on the hearth. They both missed their daughter dearly.
"Has it been 4 years, since Varomi disappeared?" Hitomi quietly asked her husband.
"I think so, darling." Van replied.
"We just have to have faith Van. I know, someday that she'll return." Hitomi commented.
"I think she'll come back too, dear." Said Van comforting his wife with his meager reassurance.
Then, the door swung open, and a little girl stepped in.
"Oh Mother, Father! I've finally found you..." And the girl collapsed on the floor.
"Varomi?" The parents hysterically screamed.
There was no denying that she was their daughter. True, her light brown hair was quite short now, but she had the same reddish-brown eyes that Van had. And around her neck was the Royal house of Fanelia pendant that all members of the royal family wore for identification.
"Oh, praise god! You're back!" Hitomi said, sobbing as she held her daughter's head in her lap.
"She'll be fine." Said a strange woman that emerged from the shadows.
"Who are you?" Van asked, drawing his sword.
Just then, Hitomi gasped, "She's the same woman from my vision..."
"Huh?" Van asked, turning perplexed towards his shocked wife.
"Don't worry mommy and daddy, it's just Aunt Raena." Varomi whispered.
"Aunt Raena?" Van asked, puzzled by Varomi's words.
"Look Van! You have a little sister!" Varomi happily told her small son.
"She's pretty." Chibi Van remarked.
"Yes she is. I want you to promise me, that you'll take care of her."
"I promise. What's her name mother?"
"Raena. Raena Cecile de Fanel." Varie whispered to her son.
"Omigod. You're my sister." Van stated in a startled voice.
"That I am." The woman calmly replied.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hitomi was too busy hugging and kissing Varomi to notice the other adult's conversation.
"My baby, my little girl..." Hitomi kept repeating, "I missed you so much." And she cried, holding Varomi against her chest.
"It's alright mommy, I'm OK." She told her weeping mother soothingly.
"I won't ever leave you again." And she gave Hitomi a hug.
