~* Review from last chapter*~
" Hope, you have to put those questions behind you. They aren't going to get you out of here, and they certainly aren't going to help you through this quest." Her mother's voice rang through the deepness of the dark black box.
" Why should I put it behind me, I want to know why this is happening to me. Why the elder gods chose me and why they didn't choose some one more qualified." Hope was determined on knowing why they didn't choose some one that could actually help this planet out.
" Calm down Hope, you need more confidence. If you don't believe you can help then you will not be able to summon your inner power." Yuri tried to explain to her daughter about confidence.
" However there are a lot more people who are stronger than me... like... Hitomi." Hopes head fell at the name of her former friend.
" Don't worry about Hitomi Hope, she's doing fine and I have a feeling your going to get to talk to her soon any way." her voice was as smooth as running water.

Chapter 23: Time.......
~* Prisoner*~
The voice finished its small disturbing conversation with the traumatized general it went into a silent slumber and didn't bother the man again.
Dilandau was grateful that the small girls voice was done for the day, but his thoughts still plagued his mind.
" I knew Folken's formula for that bitch would ware off, I knew it wasn't permanent." His own voice now rang through his mind.
The sound of his heavily armored boots hitting the stone floor echoed around in the real world, irritating the single guard that was listening. Plans were being made, and Dilandau knew they would be initiated soon. He knew that his loyal, obedient soldiers would be planning to attack Fanalia. Dilandau would not want his soldiers just to come to rescue, or to help him, he wouldn't tolerate it. The general didn't need anyone's help, and he sure didn't need to be rescued.
" You there, guard, how about some food!" Dilandau spoke with impoliteness and rude tones.
The guard didn't take no notice to the crude general, no matter his status. However this was the wrong thing to do to keep him calm.
" I said how about some FOOD!!!" his voice was uncivil and snappy, molding the view of his mood more clear.
" You'll get food when your fed, and it'll do you good to bite your tongue since your not in the position to be indecent." The guard snapped right back at the imprisoned soldier. He didn't want to take any shit from some one that was caged up and a Prisoner.
" Well when do I get fed!" This was more of a demanded question than asked.
" When im told you can have some food, no sit down and be quiet!" The unknown guard spoke with a stern voice.
~* Van's sadness*~
Van was finding it hard to cope with the young girl lying in the large bed, weak and unstable. He didn't understand why she had locked herself in the small prison of her mind, why she would have to hide from the world in the confinement of her sanity.
" Hope, please come out of this. I need to know your ok, I need to know that your as strong as people tell me, and that you can get through this. Help me understand what's wrong with you, what's bothering you and why you don't let anyone close." Van's voice was threaded with a plea of a silent heart. One that has been sleeping since the last girl from the Mystic Moon left his life.
Van held the frail girl's hand within his own. He felt the coldness that started to sink into her skin, and the color that was pouring out of her body. The king felt bad for the girl, he knew she had a lot to deal with and she now had a great deal to think about. He didn't know what that great load was, but he knew it would be important.
Van needed to know that his existence wasn't just there to let people go. He required the knowledge to let him know he can protect other and help them when they are in need. However he didn't feel like his presence was making a difference, making anything go away or disappear. The young mature king didn't know what he should do, his thoughts were in such a disarray that everything seemed crazy.
~* Hope's box*~
" What do you mean?" Hope was puzzled with this comment that she would be talking to Hitomi soon.
" In due time, in do time." Yuri was using riddles to strengthen Hope's mind, and to make her use her judgment in what her intuition tells her.
" Mother what do you mean, I've already got enough to think about, I don't need to think about something like this. Hitomi left me and she's never coming BACK!" Hope's voice could have shattered the strongest glass, or could have destroyed any wall.
" See Hope, you are deciphering what you should worry about and what could wait until later, that's great. You see your already, by yourself, able to strengthen yourself mentally." Yuri's face held a proud glow to its already enthusiastic aura.
" Well I guess so, but I don't see what this has to do with the task at hand." Hope was still as confused as she was before.
" Hope you need to be strong physically, but you also have to be strong mentally. So after you pass the test, you'll be strong, but only mentally. When you get out, you must work hard you build up your physical strengths, then you will be ready." Hope didn't know if she could do it, she didn't know if she is strong enough to begin this journey let alone end it.
" How can I do this, how can I do this alone?" Hope mumbled to herself letting her courage lower to rock bottom.
" You must believe, you have dealt with a lot since you were young, you are already considerably strong for some one your age. Also Hope, your not alone, you have King Van, you have everyone here, you have Hitomi, and you... have.... me." Yuri included herself because it was the last boost of confidence Hope needed, and Yuri knew that.
" Your right, I made a pact with myself that I wouldn't show any weakness to any one, I would be strong." Hope put a stern face on so that she will make herself believe that she could do it.
" Hope, being strong doesn't mean not showing weakness, you must show compassion, and caring and a little happiness. You must not shut yourself off from the world, it'll only create more problems." Yuri was trying to explain something that Hope must not do, and that it was a mistake for Hope to do it all those years.
" ...... " The box went quiet, not one word was spoken between the mother and daughter. Time passed, thoughts flew, and tensed muscles relaxed.
" Well Hope, I must go, But please keep working at becoming a true power within yourself and get yourself out of this. Even if you leave this place, I will be able to communicate through your thought and dreams, so if that's what is holding you back, don't worry about it." As that was said Yuri's body disappeared, but there was one last thing she said to Hope.
" I love you Hope, with all of my heart, and I will always be with you." Yuri's presence now left Hope's mind and she was left alone.
" Good-bye... mom." Hope's voice drifted off into the deep darkness of the black hole she was in now.
Hope leaned her head on her arms and slowly drifted off into sleep, but she said one very important thing before her eyes slid shut.
" I don't want to be alone any more." One tear trickled down the young girls face before she prepared for her dream realm.
~*Van*~
' I don't want to be alone any more.'
Van's head shot up at the words that were uttered from the chapped blue lips of the silver haired 16 year old.
" Hope.... come on you can break through this barrier." Van raised his voice, which jolted Millerna out of her soft slumber.
Millerna leaned over Vans body and checked Hopes pulse and then her temperature, her pulse was very slow and her temperature was way below normal. She didn't want to let Van know, she knew he already figured it out. If Hope didn't pull through this shortly she won't life to help Van win back Hitomi's heart.
