Ukeno groaned as she made contact with the ground. Gaea may have had to bring her home, but it wasn't being kind about it. She rolled over onto her side and curled into the fetal position and lay like that for a good fifteen minutes. Finally, she sat up and took in her surroundings. Not recognizing anything she slowly got up and dusted herself off. Suddenly, she gave a cry of joy. She was finally home!
~ somewhere nearby~
Allen and Van heard a cry coming from their left. It sounded like a woman in trouble. Naturally, they went to investigate, getting there just in time to see an all too familiar guymelef appear out of apparently nowhere.
~back to Ukeno~
Ukeno turned around slowly when she felt his presence. He was drawing her to him. Her mind screamed at her body to move and surprisingly she wasn't frozen to the spot. It was worse. She began slowly taking step after step farther from the guymelef. She was being drawn to Gaea's chosen one. Van Fanel. Her body turned and she was facing him. Both he and Allen Schezar had entered the small clearing. She cursed herself for making any noise earlier. And then she thought of the guymelef behind her. Unable to turn to look at it, she searched for it in her peripheral vision. It had disappeared! She couldn't believe it. It was just gone...or so she thought....
~inside the guymelef~
Hidden beneath his invisibility cloak, Dilandou growled in frustration. Van Fanel had gotten in his way yet again. But he had his orders. Bring the girl to Zaibach and harm no one. And he knew what happened when orders were disobeyed. He shuddered at the thought of yet another session with the sorcerers. After considering what to do for what seemed like hours, he came to the conclusion that there was nothing else to do but just grab the girl and get back to Zaibach before anyone could do anything. He only hoped that stupid seer wasn't here with Van. She would make things difficult.
~back to Ukeno~
Ukeno felt burning tears well up in her eyes as she realized that there was no escaping it. She had thought she could avoid her destiny. Change her fate. She didn't want this. If she sided with Gaea's chosen one there would be a war to destroy all who opposed him. Everything would be thrown into chaos and destruction. She felt herself begin to choke on the thoughts running through her head. But then, something she hadn't counted on happened. The guymelef appeared again in her peripheral vision and ran directly at her. Van and Allen drew their swords, but it was too late. Dilandou had scooped up the girl and flown away. The two of them could do nothing but watch as the guymelef was swallowed up by the darkening sky.
