How we came together
A Dracolian tale
*Dark Cave Atlan Layer*
Hitomi entered the dark layer. Her eyes searched for Van's familiar face but to no avail. Hitomi felt as if this was all her fault. Two days ago, Van disappeared and Hitomi couldn't figure out where he went. Merle and Allan said the same thing to Hitomi. "He must be at the Atlan Layer." Hitomi asked Merle what that was and she said, "It is where all the remaining Dracolins live. It is a hidden kingdom (mainly a legend) where only Dracolins and the angel of hope can go to." Of course Hitomi asked much more. Like who was the angel of hope and Merle said that she didn't know. All she knew was that the angel of hope was a dracolin. Hitomi retraced her memory with Van.
"Van I don't want to! Don't you understand?" Hitomi bursts into tears
"I hate this! Being a destroyer of Atlantis hunted down by humans… I won't take it anymore I'll find my own destiny! With or without you!"
"Van don't- please stop, Allan will protect us."
"Oh you mean your boyfriend whom you love so much because he's so nice looking? Well let me tell you something I hate living like this, I hate Allan, and if you really want to know Allan's in love with Millernia.
Hitomi gasped. "Lier!"
"Why would I lie to you Hitomi," snickered Van.
Hitomi ran away from Van, away from her true love the one she only really cared about…
And now he's gone…
Hitomi then went in search of Van (without Allan's permission) and left. I have been traveling for four days now, she thought.
Hitomi heard voices up ahead of the passage. "So you've captured the young king?" "Yes as you ordered. He's very stubborn and might I add gentle in a firm way." Hitomi looked around for a place to hid but there was none.
Hitomi peered at the people. There was 2 young ladies. Both beautiful in a unique way. They stopped. "I sense a young lover , in love with the king?" said one. "honestly Kinkie you expect the worst for our kingdom" laughed the other woman. Then she too stopped. "Yes I some- she's nearby! Get her!" The two young woman ran around the corner and grabbed Hitomi.
"Let me go!" yelled Hitomi "Let me go!" But she knew she couldn't get away. One of the women grabbed a rock and knocked Hitomi out….
"Owww. That hurt…" Hitomi's vision was clouded. She saw a face and some sort of sunlight.
"You must be alright," said a voice. (It isn't Van if you want to know) Hitomi tried to sit up but the person pushed her down. "No, not yet." Hitomi moaned. "Van…" The face (still blurred) looked at her. "Van Fanel of Faniel?" "Yes Van, where is he?"
"With us of course. We have him safe with us. He came upon us. We thought he was a destroyer whom wanted to kill us but instead he was just one of us."
"Where's Van? I need Van now. I need…"
"Your in no position to get up," said the woman.
Hitomi felt so tired. She placed her head down and fell asleep.
"Hitomi? Hitomi?"
Hitomi looked up. It was Van looking down at her. "Van?" "Yes. What are you doing here Hitomi?" "I came to find you." Hitomi looked at Van. Those eyes made her almost speechless. Of course Hitomi liked Van. (and yes she can't tell him just yet.)
"Van… I was looking everywhere for you… I just couldn't find you… Merle told me about the Dracolian caves and so did Allan. Van…" "Hitomi you need your rest…" Van looked down. How did she find this place? She's not a dracolian but how?Unless… But it's impossible to really find the caves unless she is what she is… the angel of hope. No it's impossible… or is it?
Van smiled down on Hitomi. "You're gonna be ok. You have a fever. Not so bad-" There began screaming everywhere and large nosies. "I got you dracolians!" Van couldn't forget a voice like that. It was Dilandau. The annoying Zaibach brat. Van rushed out.
"Van!" cried Hitomi. Hitomi pulled her self up. Even though she felt so weak and thought she might fall over. She quickly walked to the door. Before Hitomi could even get out and long sharp metel stick came out and stabbed her on her right side. Hitomi screamed out loud. It was Miguel who had stabbed her. (One of Dilandaui's Henchmen)
"Nooo!" screamed Van. He pulled Escaflowne the other way and caught Hitomi before she fell to the ground. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Hitomi…" Van kept saying. Then a portal of light came upon Escaflowne carrying Hitomi, and Van away.
*In Gundarm Forest (other side of Gaea)*
Van jumped out of Escaflowne and pulled Hitomi out. She was bleeding horribly. Her clothing was soaked in blood. Van couldn't stop the blood… unless… There was a legend that a draconian could cure a human by pulling their own blood out and putting it into the human. But there was danger towards that. Hitomi would become what Van was.
*Flying Fortress, Folken's Chamber *
"Damn it!" Folken slammed his fist onto the table. Two black wings brusted out of his back. This made him even more angryier. While Dilandau was out killing dracolians Folken was stuck in his chamber with nothing.
"I'm going to take a walk." Folken stepped out of his chamber and exited the fotress.
Folken walked towards a large lake. He stood there for quite some time. Then something shiny caught his eye. He thought it was a rock of some sort but he was wrong it was a necklace connected to a young woman. She was beautiful beyond thought. Her long black hair and perfect skin made her look like a queen.
Folken picked her up to carry her back to the fortress. Her body hung limp in his strong arms. He pulled her up a little more. He had to pull up everything he had so he couldn't kiss her. Not just yet.
He was near the fortress when he noticed that Dilandau was back from killing people. (Again)
He quickly pulled her into his room and left to go to the war room. "Dilandau did you kill all of them?" Dilandau twisted around a look of danger and power surged in his eyes. "If you want to know Folken why don't you just ask the prisoners?" snicker Dilandau. Folken seemed stunned. Prisoners? Never before had they taken prisoners. He turned towards where Migel pointed to. A dark corner where almost nothing could be seen. Then a person fell out.
Folken gasped. It was a man whom seemed almost dead. "Dilandau!! Never do we take prisoners! Do you not understand me!" snapped Folken angrily. And with that he left to see to the girl.
Alian was waking up finding her self lost in a place that she didn't remember ever being at. She got up and open one of the closets revealing a lot of clothing for men. Alian gasped. Had she by chance slept with a man and forgot? "Did I sleep with a man last night?"
"No I don't think you did." Alian turned around to see a firm looking man with pale white hair. Alian studied him. He was very handsome and he looked quite strong. No he isn't her mind thought.
Alian turned around the other way to face the window. "I want to go home." "I can't let you go if I don't know where you live," whispered Folken. "I… I live at a place… where invisible gymelfs destroyed my kingdom," Alian said. She tried to keep her voice from shuttering and breaking out. She could feel tears wanting to burst out and cry. I have no home."
Folken stood there stunned with a broken heart. It was Dilandau who had destroyed her city whatever that is. Thought Folken
Alian turned around tears coming out. "I want to go home," she whispered again.
*Gundarm Forest *
Van pulled out his sword and sliced his hand. He pulled out his hand and pressed it towards Hitomi's wound. It began to glow a light green. As Van watched Hitomi began to move. "Van?" Hitomi muttered weakly.
Before Hitomi could say any more pain surged though her body. Hitomi screamed out in pain as Van held her closely. He pulled her up and opened up his wings. Even though it was painful and he could feel the pressure it gave out. Van bite back the pain even though he knew Hitomi couldn't. Even more blood poured out her back as she screamed out. "It hurts Van…" Hitomi had fainted. Her shoulder blades twisted and turned and then two wings bursted forward out of her back. Van looked in awe.
