Standard Disclaimer: I do not own Escaflowne, but if I did it would have
had a much better ending. But alas, instead of being able to get to the
root of the problem I have to correct things by writing this continuation.
P.S. Go to my website at
http://www.geocities.com/crystalmoon217/escafic.html to see this fic with a
sky blue background and some funky pictures! I also have a Nuriko website
but most of you probably don't even know who Nuriko is. Watch Fushigi
Yuugi!
P.P.S. But don't think that if you go to the website you get out of
reviewing. I have numerous places for you to send me emails and you can
always come back here to review! PLEASE REVIEW!!! TELL ME HOW I CAN SNAG
MORE READERS!!!!!
The Healing of the Angels Part 2
Hitomi sat at her desk. A book was open in front of her, which she was not paying attention to. A call from down the hall brought her head up.
"Hitomi! What are you doing in there? Dinner is almost ready!"
"Just a minute! I'm finishing my work!" Hitomi answered automatically. She slowly lowered her head to her work, trying to focus. Her gaze strayed involuntarily to her window, which she always left open now, and further up into the sky. She used to imagine just after she left Gaea that instead of the gray white moon she had always seen she saw the disk of white and blue and green that was Gaea.
But it had been too long for her to take pleasure in such childish imaginings. She could not see Gaea from Earth and she couldn't see Van again. Ever. It must be punishment for her selfishness. Van had duties and she was just getting in the way of his happiness.
"Hitomi? If you don't hurry it'll get cold," her mother's voice floated to her from just outside her door. She stood and opened it, pulling her face into a fake smile that deceived all but those who knew her well.
"I'm coming right now," Hitomi stepped out into the hall, but her mother grabbed her by the arm, gentle but firm, as with everything she did. Her sympathetic expression clearly told Hitomi that she was not fooled one bit.
"Hitomi believe in what you know. You wouldn't have gone at all if you had no role to play," her mother said softly. Hitomi simply stood and stared, surprised by her mother's words. She believed Hitomi belonged on Gaea?
"Let's have dinner, okaasan," Hitomi took her mother's hand and smiled, genuinely this time.

"So if everything is generally going according to plan why are we here?" A grim and cold feminine voice floated from the corner of a room, dimly lit by a light hanging on a chain over the center of a large oval table. The other features of the room as well as the people who were sitting around the table could not be seen, as the light only illuminated a small circle on the highly polished oak of the table.
Another voice rose to answer her, this one a man, probably in his twenties. "There is an unknown element. So there was once, so there is again. I'm already working on it."
"What is being done? The unknown element destroyed our predecessors. We can't afford to make Dornkirk's mistakes," a strong masculine voice louder than either of the first. His words were accompanied by the sound of a fist banging on the table.
"Better yet what is the unknown element? The link between the girl from the Mystic Moon and the King of Fanelia has been broken. What is in our way now besides our own fears?!" the first voice questioned with equal strength.
The second voice paused a moment for dramatic effect until he heard the restless shifting of cloth.
"Dilandau is still alive."
