~* Review from last chapter*~
' 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 live to help Van win back Hitomi's heart.
~* New Chapter*~
Chapter 24: One person holds the fate of us all.
"Van, maybe you should leave," Millerna suggested.
" May I ask why?" Van was puzzled at the doctors suggestion.
" You should get some sleep. I know your concerned, but your not going to be any help to her if your so tired you can't keep your eyes open." Millerna knew what she was talking about. She knew that if she needed help she wouldn't be able to ask Van. He would be to tired to help himself, let alone help Hope.
" Maybe your right. Actually, you are right. Im going to go sleep for a little bit, but Millerna, if you need anything please call for me." Van's eyes showed his heart was ready o shatter at any sign of bad new, and he would kill the messenger that brought it.
Van softly put Hope's hand across her chest that was slowly rising and falling with the shallow pace of her breathing.
The sound of Van's boots echoed through the room as he made his way to a chair that sat in the back corner of the dark candle-lit room.
Millerna watched Van's tired body plunk down in the large red chair. Her mind wondered what tied van to this young girl, and why he cared so much to stay in the same room with her when he didn't really know her.
~*With Dilandau*~
Dilandau was still in the small, damp, stingy cell, hungry and very irritated. He was ready to kill any or every one that tried to get close to him right now. He was the most feared general in Gaea, and right here in Fanalia the simple guard had no idea who he was.
One thing that bothered Dilandau, right now, was that his so called loyal subjects haven't shown up yet. Dilandau's anger level was rising and people who knew him well would do good to stay away from him.
" When will your so called King tell you I can eat?" Dilandau used a mocking tone, trying to make the guard angry.
Well this comment worked. The guard was furious, and he didn't want to tolerate it, but he was told not to harm the general. He was only allowed to play with the silver haired man's mind.
" He is a generous king and he should let you hang. However he has other things to deal with right now." The guard's thoughts raced trying to find out what would strike a chord with the young general.
" And what is so important that he can't pay attention to his prisoner?" Dilandau's interest was raised.
" Because he is to busy taking care of the girl the prisoner harmed." The guard turned away from the young man, knowing his thoughts would be twitching and he'd have questions.
~* Van's Torment*~
Van's mind lingered among the dream realm, he knew some one would be coming to him and he was prepared for them.
Just as he thought a form started to appear, Van's thoughts instantly wandered to Hope's mom, but this time it was different. Every time Yuri had appeared a soothing melody was played across his ears, and a warm light grew brighter until her whole body appeared. This time it was a wave of light that seemed like heat waves, slowly an object was coming into focus, but differently than anything else. It was a person, Van knew that, but he didn't know who.
Van watched the waves become a solid item, and the spirit become whole. His heart broke when he noticed who it was... Tears sprang to his eyes, and his body started to tremble. Van's breathing became uneven and he felt like his whole world might cave in if this wasn't real.
The mysterious person that was in his dreams was the only person he loved, it was..... Hitomi.
" Van, are you all right?" Hitomi asked, her voice a little wavy.
" Hitomi? Is that you?" Van's voice was trembling, and he didn't know if his knees would hold his body up.
" Yes.. Van... its me," Hitomi knew, this hurt van more than anything. More than war, more than death itself.
Tears started to flow down the young king's cheeks. He didn't know how to deal with this. The girl he loved, he lost, for 3 years, and now she's back in his dream realm and she was literally there.
".... Hitomi... how I've missed you so. My heart hasn't healed since you left my kingdom." Van's words were laced with sorrow and joy. He didn't know weather to jump for joy or cry a river, he couldn't straighten out his feelings right now.
" I know Van, I've missed you too. Oh how I wished to return to your world, to hear your sweet voice one last time," Hitomi felt herself start to tear up, but she knew she had a message she had to relay.
" You can still return can't you? I have Escaflowne, I'll revive it and bring you back." Van was rushing thing, and was making rash decisions. Also Van totally forgot that you don't have to be alive to visit some one in there dreams.
" Van, stop. You know you can't revive Escaflowne, you worked to hard to bring this world into peace, to do it again. Also, I will make it back to your world when the time is right, and if there's a chance there isn't a right time, I guess we will just have to live off of the memories we shared." Hitomi knew this would hurt Van, but she knew he would know what she was doing. She would not stand for Van to jeopardize the peace of Gaea just for her own happiness.
" I know,but I've missed you so much, I don't know how much longer I can stand without you here by my side." Van felt his heart break, but he knew Hitomi was right.
" You'll have to stand a lot more without me. There is going to be major conflict in your world over Hope. However Van, you have to make sure she's safe, because she is the key to internal happiness in your lands. " Hitomi knew what was to come, but she was unable to tell Van, for she knew the rule. She knew that she was unable to say anything that could alter the future, or the Shadow keepers would drag her soul to the fiery pits of hell.
" What, conflict? But Gaea has been at peace since the Destiny War, why would something start up now?" Van was so confused now, he knew this was going to happen since Hope's mother warned him of it, but he didn't expect it to be true.
" Im sorry my dear Van, but I can not tell you these things. I am not at the position to let the future be altered by my words. Yet I am also no ready to let another worlds fate fall into my hands again." She started to lightly let the tears trickle from the corners of her eyes, not able to hold in her feelings any longer. Hitomi had to let her emotions bleed from her heart. The hero from the Destiny War had to let her life that was pent up inside herself go.
Van just stood there and held her. No words were spoken and there feelings were exchanged, and they knew how each other felt, and both wished that they could see one another again, even for a fraction of a day.
" I will see you again, and I will do anything in my power to bring you back. And Hitomi Kansaki, you have my word on my honor as a king of Fanalia, that i will bring you back." Van spoke with determination, and strive. Hitomi could see the truthfulness in his eyes and she would go through anything to be with him, one last time.
" Van promise me one thing, that you wont use Escaflowne to do it?" Hitomi needed to know what she could trust Van with this small small to the eye task, yet it was meaningful to the heart.
" I promise" That was the last words that Was said before a Van slipped into a happy slumber with a smile on his face.
