Disclaimer: I do not own Escaflowne.
A/N: I have to say that this story is getting so much better than I originally intended it to be. But now it is really getting good. Well, I have to also tell you that it's gonna get a wee bit complicated from here. Sorry. And guess what? I got my first flame!!! Hehe. No offense to flamer but I have to say that I didn't understand what you were saying. I know how you're married and stuffs and I congratulate you on that but how is this, in quote, "bullshit?" And I know that there is the thing about mistrust but I mean, if you had the same feelings for someone that you had when you were in your first life, what would you think would happen? And they weren't LOVERS in their past lives, they were only in love. As it was typed in Chapter 6, Complications and Death, "She loved another but their love could never be more than the small caresses that they gave each other." Enough with my explaining, I hope the rest of you enjoy it and I am still planning to make this a V/H story.

Chapter XIV: Intermission of Trust
----------------------------------------------
Inhestia groaned and turned herself over. Sunlight flooded the violet room with a nice and filmy orange color. For a short instance, she smiled. She loved the sun for it reminded her of her father, radiant and strong. And her father reminded her of...
"I must get stronger." she whispered to herself. Her long black hair was in disarray and her warm skin blushed to the night before. Van held her soft body to himself, like a child to a stuffed animal. His arms greedily held her in and touched skin they wanted to make sure they caressed. Looking to him, she traced a lock of hair from his face. With a smile, she untangled himself from his arms and legs and pulled on a robe.
Leaving the room, she smiled to the guard and continued to the baths. The water was waiting for her, boiling and almost scalding. It was the way she liked it and she sunk in. Being the daughter of the sun possessor had a few advantages, including being able to bear being in scalding water and burning flames. And the water soothed her, sterilizing her from the actions of last night. Rubbing off her sore body, she imagined a pair of strong and pale arms wrapping around her waist and trailing along her stomach. And soft, velvety lips tracing their way down her neck and shoulders. A long flow of silver hair cascading over her...
She groaned and smacked the scalding water, making it go this way and that in her fit. Closing her eyes, she huffed and looked down. Raising her hands out of the water, she watched as small waterfalls emerged from her fingertips and the pools in her palms slowly draining away. He was gone. Everything was gone. She soon will have to leave beautiful Fanellia and her dearly loved friend Van who was always so kind to her. All that was left for her was Garolesh, her people. And awaiting the Dune King, her...
"Lady Inhestia! Are you alright? You've been in there for longer than an hour." called a priest. Sighing, she smiled. They always cared about her. And she knew they would gladly give their lives for her, no thought of any disagrees. They were depending on her to fulfill the prophecy. And she was counting on Hitomi to play out her role as well.
"Yes Doranet. I'm fine and I'll be coming out shortly." she said and walked up the stone steps to retrieve a towel. Drying herself off, she smiled. "She'll be alright. If he puts his faith in her, then she'll pull this off." she said and pulled on her robe, walking to the door.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------
Platinum blond hair lay even more ragged on her sorrow-filled head. The days have gotten better, Hitomi was still visiting and she was eating again. But it wasn't the same. Life wasn't the same anymore to her and she didn't care. Her brother must have felt so guilty when he received the letter from Van. Allen had insisted so badly that she ride in a carriage instead of an airship. And look what happened now.
She ran out of tears for crying. Deep inside of her mind, she could hear a voice. Not like those voices that run rampant in the minds of the insane. No, it was like a conscience, like a half of her that she learned to rely on. In her mind, he stood in the black void with her. Wearing a white and baggy tank shirt and black leather pants, his Adonis figure held her in an embrace. Her form stopped crying looked up to him with tear- filled eyes.
He gently shook his head and smiled. 'Don't cry Celena. You're strong. Remember, you're me. And I'm you.' he said as he kissed her forehead. Giving one last smile, he said, 'And don't you ever forget that I'll protect you when you need me.' Then he vanished. She was shaken back to her world as she felt a warm hand upon her shoulder. She looked up to see her friend Nakami.
"Nakami? What are you doing here?" she asked curiously. She only smiled down to her and closed her eyes.
Nimhoet lect mintal iin hote...
Drana culeiu im hato...
The wind started to rustle around them and whipped up Nakami's hair.
Im hato carte Gaddes...
Dolokom vano Yimpresi cala toa!
She glowed and touched the ground on Gaddes' grave. Celena just watched in awe. As soon as the spectacle started, it died out and Nakami smiled with eyes closed. "Karona" she said. Enjoy. And she walked away, back to Sanctuary as she thought. The ground started to shiver and then shake. But not all of the ground, just the small piece of dirt atop of her beloved. And he sprouted from the grave like from the mother's womb, alive again.

A/N: I am going to say that I whenever I have an Intermission or Interlude, I am starting a new faze in the story. I hope you all aren't too pissed off at me because of the last chapter. It will all be explained shortly on how it wasn't... what it seemed. And I am trying to explain Inhestia's character in this story a lot more and it was weird typing Nakami's name out again. I haven't typed it out in so long. Well, I will be coming out with chapter 15 rea;;y soon! And guess what? If you peeps care, I'M posting this on my birthday! Yeah! Go November 6th!!!!! Too bad stupid Allen's birthday is on the tenth or some crap like that! Ah wells, I hope you have a good day! Byes!
