The anger of untouched water.
" What's wrong dad, are you ok?" Alita held a expression of worry on her face and in her eyes.
" Yes I'm fine, this is so beautiful Ally, thank you" her father embraced her, holding her close not wanting to let her go.
" Im glad you like it, I was afraid you wouldn't like it." Alita admitted to her father.
~* Back at Fanelia*~
Van had told the guards to hold off the search until morning since it would be useless looking in the dark. After all the guards returned to there posts Van set out to find out who the pillar of light may have brought... or taken away.
After Van had been riding his horse for well over an hour, his eyes searching for some sign of something. He finally came upon a small pond that held the glow of the two moons. The low blue gleam gave the area a eerie setting as the fog hung low to the ground. Van dismounted his horse and letting the large animal take a break. His eyes scanning the ground and his heart pounding, reliving the love he had once pushed away. The dark brown orbs came across a limp figure lying in the damp grass. Van ran until he was leaning over the person, he turned them over and gasped. It was Hitomi!
Van looked over her and seen she had changed drastically. She had grown out her hair and it ended at about her waist, her curves had been more defined, and her face had matured. He picked her up gently so not to further injure her just in case she had any injuries. He gracefully jumped up onto the horse and started towards Fanelia.
Also I apologize to everyone who has read this story. I was just notified that in my 7th chapter I made Alita 8 and in chapter 8 I forgot to make her nine. My sincere apologies
Chapter 9: A new beginning.
Van had fallen asleep in a chair, his head propped up by his right hand. His face showed exhaustion, and lack of sleep. He had stayed up through the night wondering if all this was real or if it was just a dream. Hitomi was fast asleep, and seemed to be more at ease than she was when she first was brought here. It was still only a few hours since Van found Hitomi but he desperately wanted her to wake up.
~* In Alita's room*~
She had opened her eyes noticing that she had been sitting there from some time. Suddenly a voice entered her mind.
" Alita" The voice said softly, not to startle the girl.
" Yes" She said closing her eyes knowing partially who it was.
" I think you should spend less time focusing on your past and start working on your future" The voice said as a suggestion.
" And what is to be my future, stuck in this world fighting all my life. That's what I did on my planet, I fought and I don't want to fight and kill I just want to fight to better my skills." She silently argued with the spirit.
" And you will better your skill, far more than you could on Earth, But you were brought here to protect this planet and its people. You must for fill the prophecy." The spirit said trying to convince Alita that this is her destiny.
" Why me? Why must I be the only one that can for fill this so called prophecy? Also who are you to decide what I must do?" Alita asked, wanting to get some answers.
" My name is Mitsuko, The child of light. I have been the keeper of the peace for many years. But now the fate of this planet is in your hands. You can either give into the darkness, or emerge into the light." The spirit said with a soft, and gentle voice.
" But why me? Huh, I mean I didn't have anything special about me until after I came here. Now I have wings, and powers beyond my imagination." Alita said thinking upon the day she found out she had the magical advantages.
" The reason you, Alita, have been chosen to for fill this destiny is that you have the power within yourself, and that you have only lost the will to stay on your world. Also the suffering you've seen is part of it." Mitsuko said, her voice trailing off.
" Ok," Alita silently shook her head at the explanation. " And how am I suppose to save this world?" Alita asked.
" With your strength, your heart and your determination," The wise spirit inwardly smiled to herself, knowing this young girl could do this. " Alita, close your eyes and focus on my voice"
" Ok, I'll try" Alita closed her eyes and ran Mitsuko's voice though her head. Suddenly Alita seen a woman with long flowing black hair, and bright silver eyes. The woman started to walk towards Alita and started to speak.
"So, Alita, we finally meet." Mitsuko said giving a small smile towards the confused girl.
" Are you Mitsuko?" Alita asked looking like she was so confused, everything would pass over her head if nothing was explained.
"Yes, Indeed I am" Mitsuko said softly.
Alita now knew who the spirit woman was, and what she looked like. She seen the hope in her eyes, the gentleness in her movements, and the glow of power that shown like the sun. Alita now knew if she didn't help, no one could.
" Alright, I will help this planet, but I sure hope I don't let them down." Alita said thinking on her future adventure, but put a smile on her face. " well I can try and help them like I couldn't help my family." And thats when Alita opened her eyes.
" Thank you, Alita, this planet will honor your effort. And I will be back soon to help you develop your powers." Mitsuko's voice dissappeared into the darkness of her mind.
