Heartwing put her hands on the table in front of her. 'Well, I.' Heartwing looked pleadingly into Von's eyes. Von rested his hands on Heartwing's.

'Please, tell me. I want to know what is haunting my wife.' He begged her.

'Well. nothing really happens in the dream. At least to me.' Heartwing said, looking at everyone sitting around the table.

'That is alright just tell me what happens in the dream, even if it isn't much, please.' Von continued to plead with Heartwing.

'Well, the dream isn't really like any other dream I've ever had. When I first realize that I'm in the dream, indescribable feeling washes over me. You have to actually be there to know how it feels. The dream, it. it's dark. it feels like the darkness around me is going to swallow me, and no one can save me. The only thing that can save me is the light,' Heartwing paused.

'The light, what is that?' Von asked, attentively listening to Heartwing.

'It is the light that surrounds me during the dream and the symbol on my forehead.' Heartwing explained.

'Symbol, what did the symbol look like?' Allen asked her.

'I don't know it's hard to explain really.' Heartwing told him.

'Here, draw it on this piece of paper, maybe I'll know what it is. I know many different ancient languages.' Dryden said, pulling out a piece of paper and a pencil type object and handing them to Heartwing.

Heartwing took the items and drew the symbol. She had to concentrate on what the symbol had looked like in the dream. It took her about five minutes to think of what it looked like, and draw it, but she did it. When she was done drawing the symbol, she handed the piece of paper back to Dryden.

'That's what the symbol looked like.' She said simply. Dryden inspected it. Dryden looked down at Heartwing, a great surprised look on his face. 'This symbol means "Hope"; do you know why you might have that on your forehead?' He asked her.

'No clue whatsoever. I have no hope, why would I have that symbol then?' Heartwing asked, smiling devilishly, joking around.

Von snarled at her. 'DON'T JOKE AROUND!!' He yelled at her, leaning over the table.

'What else am I supposed to do? I can't fight, I'm not allowed to.' Heartwing smiled at him. Von winced; Folken put his hand on his shoulder, shaking his head.

'Please, tell us more of this dream.' Folken told Heartwing.

'I'm standing there, its pitch black, I can't see anything, I wouldn't expect to see anything anyways. The only thing I can see is I, because of the light.' Heartwing chuckled. 'Now that I think of it, it seems like the light is truly protecting me from the darkness. The light gets dimmer every time I have the dream, I don't know why. It just. does.' Heartwing said, shaking her head. It hurt to talk about it, she didn't know why, it just did. It made her stomach flip, and her mind became tangled about.

'Is something wrong? Do you need a rest?' Allen asked her, looking at her with concern in his eyes.

'No, no, I'm fine.' Heartwing said, shaking her head, clearing her mind.

'What else happens?' Von asked, calmed down now.

'I hear someone say hello, so I turn around and it's her, Hitomi.' Heartwing explained. 'I get sort of angry, and scared at the same time. She looks kind of like me, with the light, I mean. I ask her who she is, and she says "I am Kanzaki Hitomi, and you are?" I just reply, I just say "I'm Heartwing"' Heartwing said, pausing and looking over to her Grandfather.

'That's it?' Von asked. Heartwing snapped her attention back to Von.

'Surprisingly yes, I wake up right then. I don't know if anything happens to Hitomi before I meet her in the dream, but that's all I know.' Heartwing said, looking towards the door.

'Are you sure there isn't anything else you need to tell us?' Von asked, still not understanding what had made Hitomi dread the dream.

'What were you wearing in the dream?' Bit asked, looking over at Heartwing with just one of his eyes.

Heartwing turned tomato red at the face, looking at him through shocked eyes. 'W-wearing.?' She asked hoarsely.

'What's wrong? It's not like you two weren't wearing anything.' Dryden laughed light heartedly. Heartwing turned even redder when he said that.

'Oh.' Dryden said, blushing a bit. Bit held back a snicker.

'You two were naked?!' Von asked, sounding a bit hysterical.

'Maybe I should go now.' Heartwing said, quickly pushing her chair back, and starting to walk off. She didn't make it very far before her Grandfather grabbed her by the arm.

'Now sit down. There is nothing to be ashamed of.' He said, pulling Heartwing back to her chair.

Heartwing sat reluctantly down, sighing. 'Why do you have to interrogate me? You're treating me like a prisoner, more than you usually do.' Heartwing said angrily, looking at her Grandfather.

'If, it helps the Queen of Fanelia become well again.' Her Grandfather said.

'So, you would pick the Queen of Fanelia over your Granddaughter?' Heartwing chuckled lightly. 'That's so typical of you.'

'You will not treat your superiors like this! Is that clear young lady?!' Her Grandfather said quite angrily.

'Maybe, maybe not.' Heartwing replied, cocking her head to the side.

'Go to your room now, we'll discuss this later!' Her Grandfather almost yelled at her. Heartwing stood up and went to her room, anger filling her blood, giving her the fuel she needed to feed the fire.

'I'm sorry, my Granddaughter can be hard to control sometimes.' Heartwing's Grandfather said, shaking his head as he rested his elbows on the table.

'She is just a child, and she is coming up on her teenage years. They can be like that sometimes.' Eries said sympathetically.

'Yes I know. I've had to deal with a teenager before, but not one this rowdy before.' He replied, still shaking his head.

'Well, at least she's got good looking bazooms.' Bit pointed out.

'Bazooms.? You mean her--' Bit cut Allen off.

'Hell yea.' Bit said, looking at Allen, smiling mischievously. Eries and Millerna looked at him questioningly. Merle was just licking her paws, not paying attention.

'You've seen them?' Dryden asked, only now showing great interest.

'Of course I have.' Bit replied, acting cool like it was absolutely nothing to him. 'What are "bazooms"?' Von asked, looking at everyone.

'Well. they are.' Allen trailed off, blushing lightly. He didn't want to say it in front of Millerna; he didn't want to give her the wrong impression.

'Well, continue,' Heartwing's Grandfather urged.

'They're a woman's breasts.' Folken said flatly.

'Folken, how would you know that?' Eries asked, giving him a death glare.

'Well. I..' Folken looked at Eries, he was at a loss of words.

'You've seen my Granddaughter's chest?!' Heartwing's Grandfather asked angrily. Bit looked at him, he feared for his life now.

'Well. I.' Bit stumbled through the unfinished sentence. He couldn't say anything, because no matter what he said he was dead.

'Well you what?' Heartwing's Grandfather continued, giving Bit the death glare.

'I..I. I w-walked in on her while she was d-dressing, Sir.' Bit stuttered through the sentence, watching Heartwing's Grandfather's rage growing.

'What else did you see?' Heartwing's Grandfather asked Bit angrily.

'N-Nothing else Sir, I swear!' Bit said Heartwing's Grandfather glared at him. 'I swear I didn't see anything else, Sir!' Bit said, practically pleading with Heartwing's Grandfather not to kill him.

Heartwing's Grandfather sighed heavily. 'I need to lie down, the servants will tell you when dinner is, show you to your rooms, and help you settle in. I'll see all of you at dinner.' Heartwing's Grandfather said, standing up slowly and walking away.

Before heading to lie down, Heartwing's Grandfather stopped by Heartwing's room, to talk to her like he had promised. He knocked on the door.

'Come in.'

'Sweetie, I wanted to talk to you, about before.' Heartwing's Grandfather said. Heartwing looked up at him.

Heartwing was sitting on her bed, holding a controller in her hands, playing a video game. She was wearing grey baggy sweats and a tight black tank top; she was clearly still not wearing a bra.

'Heartwing.' Her Grandfather said, walking towards her.

'You have some nerve,' she said, not looking at him, but staring at the screen of her TV.

'LISTEN TO ME, THESE ARE IMPORTANT GUESTS! YOU ARE EXPECTED TO RESPECT THEM! LIVE UP TO YOUR EXPECTATIONS!!' Heartwing's Grandfather hit her, throwing her from the bed to the floor. He was breathing heavily after yelling so much, he looked over at Heartwing.

Heartwing was lying on the floor, unmoving. Blood was trickling down her cheek and on to the floor from the small cuts she had on her face where her Grandfather had punched her. She didn't dare move, might her Grandfather beat her.

Heartwing closed her eyes tightly, just wishing for him to leave her there, alone. Her Grandfather walked to her side, looking down upon her lightly shivering figure.

He fell on his knees next to her, shaking. 'Oh god.' He whispered hoarsely, reaching out to touch her face. 'Heartwing.?' he asked, taking her face in his large hand. Heartwing opened her eyes a little, to peer at her questioning Grandfather.
