Prologue
The dragon's heart will appear before an angel in the hands of an emerald vision and they shall be one to bring the kingdom towards heaven. For she whom the Mystic Moon gives birth to, will the only one to bear the future heir of Fanelia.
It had been said that a man named Leon Schezar went forth to a journey and searched for the young lady from the Mystic Moon whom he met when he was young. Before his demise, he willed to meet her for one last time and she did appear thru a pillar of light. Despite the passing of time, she has remained young, exactly the way Leon Schezar has seen her years before.
'My prayers have been answered… at last I have found you once again.' He said walking towards the young Japanese girl who smiled back at him.
'…you were as beautiful as the last time I saw you…' he continued making the girl blush slightly.
'Thank you.' she bowed.
'Here.' As a token of his deep endearment towards the young lady he gives her a ruby pendant.
Upon receiving the necklace, she disappeared from the sight of the man. But she did not return to the Mystic Moon. Memories flashed before her—memories not of her own. She could see figures which she could assume as angels—winged people. She could hear them chanting with their heavenly voices though she does not know what the words meant.
Then she was brought to a lake in the heart of the forest. Another figure appeared; she too bore white broad wings.
'I was expecting your arrival. My name is Varie. It seems you have been chosen by the heavens to be the keeper.' She said. '…the pendant that you hold will be the key to Fanelia's rebirth. Please safeguard it until the proper time comes. Until then, we will meet again, Hitomi…'
Before the girl could even utter a word to tell Varie she is not Hitomi and that she might be mistaken, she found herself back in her home. Her face to have aged unlike a while ago.
A lady came near her smiling, 'Mother, here you are. I have been looking for you… I have the most important news to tell you…'
'What is it my child?' she asked.
'I am going to be a mother too!' she exclaimed almost teary eyed.
'That is great! I am so happy for you, dear.'
They both embraced each other.
'Dear, what name would you give your baby?' she asked.
'Now that you mentioned it, I had a dream last night.'
'Really?'
'Yes, mother. I was in an odd place, somewhere I haven't been to. There where white feathers falling from the sky. And there were voices—like a choir—saying words I can't seem to understand. Although…'
'What is it?'
'I did understand one word—Hitomi. It really felt real, the dream that is. So, I guess it's a message from heaven I suppose. Hitomi it is, then. What do you think, mother?'
'Hitomi…it is indeed a nice name…'
The younger lady then caressed her tummy, 'So, my dear from now on, your name will be Hitomi.'
'But dear, what if it turns out to be a boy?' her mother asked giggling.
'Oh my, I haven't thought of that!' she exclaimed. And both of them started laughing.
