A/N: HEY!!! Oh, yeah, I'd like to apologize for 3 previous mistakes. One, The Galken in Chapter One, should just be Galken. Two, Selena should be Celena. Three, the Great War has been over for 6 years, not 10. Oh, and by the way, thank you all for reviewing… I dedicate this story to ShadowKat, CrimsonFire, and WhiteMage, who have been extremely dedicated to reading my story: Zaibach United… This chap is going to start off on 'The Mystic Moon' so you can understand Van's son a bit more…
Disclaimer: I do not own Escaflowne *enter sob here*… or its any of its other things…
Chapter Three: Fanel
The little five year old boy scurried around the floor, pushing a Tonka truck around. He had black hair, and light brown eyes. He looked a lot like his father, Van Fanel. His mother, Hitomi, had told him how she had met him, and when he heard the story, he said, "Some day, mom, I'm going to be a great king, like daddy!" At that time, a tear had drifted down her cheek.
"Please, son, don't say stuff like that… it brings tears to my eyes." Hitomi said. She had sat down then, and her son, Marlon, had climbed up on her lap and hugged her.
Marlon barely remembered that, mainly because like all five year olds, he lived in the moment, and quickly forgot most things. Marlon never forgot the story though, but mainly because he thought it a fairy tale.
On the day he was playing with the Tonka truck, he remembered the story. "Mommy, what ever happened to the pretty necklace?" he asked her, stopping his playing to find out.
"I put it in a truck, under my bed. I don't think it will do any harm letting you see it, but you must give it back. No hiding it, like you did with some of my other things."
"Yes, mommy."
"Ok, then. Let's go upstairs and look at it." Hitomi and Marlon walked up the stair. As Marlon was afraid of heights, his mother held his hands, while walking up. Hitomi opened the door. Marlon rarely was let into her room, ever since the toilet incident. Marlon thought it would be funny to get a pale of toilet water, already used, thanks to Marlon, and put it next to his mother's slippers, while she was sleeping. When she awoke, she put her feet down, to slide them in her slippers, she found instead a slipper on one foot, and an extremely yellow pail of water on the other. Thus, Marlon had rarely seen what was inside the room.
I was extremely tidy, and beside her bed was a drawing of him, except it looked like an older him. "Who's that, mommy?" he asked.
"When I got back from Gaea, I didn't have any pictures of your father, so I tried drawing one. I finally got one that almost looked like him, and that's it." Marlon peered around the door and looked around some more. "Try not to touch anything. Most of the things in here are very important to me." Marlon nodded and walked back over by Hitomi. Hitomi kneeled down by the bed, and pulled a truck out from under it. "Here it is." She opened it. Inside were a brown skirt, a blouse, a beeper, a CD player, and some other trinkets. One was a pink-red pendant.
"What is all this stuff?" He asked.
"It all the stuff that went with me, and back, to and from Gaea."
"Oh." He reached for the pendant, picked it up, and held it up so the light reflected against it. It started to glow. This really looks like it belongs on Gaea, he thought to himself. Suddenly music surrounded them. It seemed to say: ESSSSCCAAAA- FLOOOOOWNEEEEE. A light glowed in the region around themselves. It started to pull the trunk, Marlon, and Hitomi into the sky. The passed through the attic, and then the roof. Marlon slowly saw his house, then his town, and finally the his country seem to shrink until most were no longer visible. Marlon, afraid of heights, closed his eyes. Hitomi grasped his hand, and spoke.
"Marlon, look! We're leaving Earth. We're going to your real home!! Do you know, I've been trying to do that since you were born? The pendant never reacted until you touched it!! This is wonderful. Thank you, Marlon! Maybe we'll get to see your dad." Marlon kept his eyes shut tight, until Hitomi said something again. "We're here." Marlon opened his eyes to see a green field around him. All he could think was, I don't think we're in Kansas any more.
A/N: No, they did not live in Kansas. It's a pun… pointing out that he has watched the Wizard of Oz!!! Well, I hoped you liked it. Ja!!
