Chapter 11
* * * * * * *
Yukari opened her eyes with ease. She didn't seem to be tired anymore. It had been eight days since she climbed Escaflowne. She had not talked to anyone because she was so tired for some reason. When she focused her eyes she was face to face with Merle. "Ahhh!" Merle jumped back and sat on the edge of the bed.
"I was wondering when you'd wake up. I want to ask you something" Merle said calmly.
"You nearly gave me a heart attack." Replied Yukari breathing heavily
"Oh, sorry. Anyway, Why did Escaflowne move when you touched it?"
"I have no clue Merle"
"Oh. It doesn't make sense. Okay. See you later!" Yukari sat up in the infirmary bed. Seeing Yukari was up, the nurse hurried over and checked her back. She didn't find anything wrong with it and gave Yukari her clothes back to put on.
"Okay, you can go" The nurse finally said after another check to just make sure everything was fine. Yukari walked out the Infirmary doors and into a long hall. She looked around and realized she had no idea where to go. So she went down one hall after the next and down three flights of stairs. She finally found herself in the main hall.
"Now where?" Yukari thought aloud. Just then she heard someone coming down the stairs behind her. She whirled around and it was Van.
"Hello. I see you're up finally. I wanted to ask you something." Van said as he leaned his shoulder against the stairwell frame
"Is the question how did Escaflowne move when I touched the pink jewel? Because the answer is I have no idea" Yukari questioned.
"Well, yes it was. I don't see how it could have moved if you didn't have a drag energist. It just doesn't make sense"
"A what?"
"A drag energist, it's an energy source but it comes from dragons"
"So you're telling me that there are dragons here? You've got to be kidding. This is like a friggin movie I once saw."
"Ok, well its real. If you want I could show you a dragon but then I'd have to slay it and I really don't want to. You can pinch yourself though. Maybe then you'll believe me."
"No that's quite alright. I've felt enough pain thank you." At that Yukari turned and started towards the doors. She didn't know where she was going but it didn't matter.
"Also there's something else. Do you know Hitomi Kanzaki?" Van asked
Yukari stopped but didn't turn around. "She's my best friend. Before I came here I was at her house."
"What was the last thing you said to her?"
"Basically, I said I wished I was out of everyone's way. Then I started to lift off of the ground and went right through her ceiling. After I don't remember anything except waking up in the middle of the forest"
"That's why you're here. You wished something then it happened because you had the pendant. That's why Escaflowne moved also. The pendant gives its holder some sort of power. Hitomi could see the unseen and she was very accurate with her Terra Cards. I'm not really sure what it gave you yet but it will probably become clear soon"
"How do you know Hitomi?" asked Yukari
"She came here about a year or so ago. Well thanks for answering my questions" Yukari proceeded out the front doors and vanished from sight.
