For Every Dream
Chapter 1: Everything is Changing
A dark haired man of twenty stood in a glade surrounded by fields. In his hand he held a unique sword, the royal sword of the country that is known to the people of Gaea. Sparring against the gentle breeze, he moved with a liquid like grace. Thrust, parry, jab. The sword was not a tool; it was an extension of the man. The young King of Fanelia, Van Fanel.
For five long years, the young king had been busy rebuilding his country, and recovering from that fateful war. For it was fateful, in every sense of the word. The war had been fought by Zaibach's Dilandau Albatou, influenced and in a way created by the insane, yet brilliant scientist Dornkirk. Fate. Fate was Dornkirk's obsession. To be able to control and change fate, through one single tool. The Atlantean's Fate Alteration Machine. The Machine that had caused their wishes to become deeds, that had caused them to sprout wings, that had ultimately become their downfall.
But in the end there it was proven that one thing can overrule fate, one single pure emotion. Love. To souls bound together through their connection and attachment to each other. Soulmates.
The young king lowered his sword and gazed up at the twin moons, more specifically at the Mystic Moon. A part of him was there, living, breathing, and slowly dieing. His heart would always remain with one girl. The seeress of the Mystic Moon, the savior of Gaea, his soulmate, Hitomi Kanzaki.
Suddenly memories that were so precious to him flew through his mind. The first time he saw her, wearing those ridiculous clothes, running towards him as he came to fight the dragon. Her warning him of the dragon's unseen attack. Being transported back to his home planet once the dragon had been defeated and the young prince had gained its drag-energist. The sting of her palm on his cheek as she slapped him for the first time. The look on her face when she discovered he was royalty. The list could go on and on. But there was always his favorite. Just before she had left, she had entrusted him with her good luck charm. The pendant she wore around her neck that was of ancient Atlantean origin. One of the many pendants that had helped to create that world. Possibly the last of its kind. And the words she had spoken as she was lifted away form the world of fantasy, of dragons, knights, princesses and angels. "I'll never forget you, even if I become old. I'll never forget no matter what. I'll never forget."
He cherished those words like no other. But nothing is the same anymore. He is no longer a boy king, over confident in his abilities, irrational and headstrong. He is man, a good king, always doing what is best for the people, sacrificing himself if he must. But the one thing the people want, no, what they need is the one thing he cannot give them. He cannot give them a Queen, for he love no other then his sweet green-eyed angel, Hitomi, and he will marry no one without love. At least he can pray that he will not have, but duty comes, and more often then not, it comes first.
So you see the world will keep on moving, and time will keep on flowing, even if the heart stands still. For everything is constantly moving, for everything is changing.
