Thunder Mistress

A day has passed since the kidnapping of Hitomi, but it seems as though it has been years. The Abahoroki ship is being slowly repaired. The casualties to the Abahoroki solders were steep, and the army seemed to be officially defenseless. Although half of the solders miraculously survived, they still needed to replace the ones that did not. But nothing mattered of that to Van, not when Hitomi has been taken from him so easily.

Van and the others sat in the man strategy room except for Akane, who claimed that she wished to go back to her room to get something. All seemed as gloomy as an audom day, and as pale as rain. It was pure silence that engulfed the room, half trying to think of a solution to the situation, half morning for their loses. Until Gaddess spoke up. "What'll we do now?"

"How are we supposed to know" snapped Amano under his breath. "This is no time to start an argument" shot Millerna, leaning forward on a pole with once hand, the other on her forehead. "She's right, we must find a way to get Hitomi back, not to mention the replacements in solders." Said Alan calmly. "Why was Hitomi taken from us........... why?" sniffled Merle as she wiped her nose with the back of her paw. Yukari leaned down next o her and rubbed her back. "Don't worry Merle, Hitomi will come back to us, we'll get her back"

Van remained to be silent.

Meanwhile with Akane

Akane sighd a long harsh sigh as she continued to look down from walking in the hall. She missed Hitomi as much as anyone else. When Hitomi was around, everything was bright, lively and happy, but everything had been washed away because of her abduction. She clenched her fist to try to hold in her repulsive anger from exiting her being. Her emerald shaded eyes, blanketed with a sheet of tears she cleared her throat and sniffed. As she walked a few more steps, she passed by a door which was slightly open that entered into a room.

Hitomi's room.........

Akane lightly leaned her hand on the door, pushing it softly open as little creeks were heard. Until the room was fully opened, she stepped inside. It looked just as Hitomi had left it. Her bed sheet ruffled and pushed back abit with the pillow slightly pushed in the middle. On the small vanity that had a even sized mirror, on the chair hung her school uniform as it slightly swayed in the breeze that came from the open window.

But something else caught her eye. On the vanity was the necklace Hitomi usually wore, the jewel of the color of a magenta like shade. Akane walked towards it as she picked it up and gently took it into both of her hands and looked at it. Something then surprised her. The necklace seemed to faintly flicker with a bright light inside of the jewel. "What the hell" she whispered.

Meanwhile

"Perhaps we should search all of the villages" suggested Alan. "No, that wont work, last time, the black dragon clan's fortress was hidden in the sky, who knows where it could be now" said Van, looking down and holding his head in his hands as he sat at the strategy table as the rest stood around it. Just the Akane had then burst through the door. Van! I found something!" she shouted running towards them.

They all turned towards her. She appeared to have something in her hands. "I found this in Hitomi's room" She opened her hand and showed the jewel to them. "It's the necklace she normally wears"

Van stood from his seat to look at the necklace. "See, it's flickering, like it's detecting something!" she claimed as they all observed the activity of the jewel lighting up at a steady pace. "It seems to be calling out to her" said Millerna. "She is the wing goddess after all, this must be a way to find her!" claimed Gaddess. "So if was just follow it's rhythm we'll find Hitomi!" shouted Merle in joy.

"Gaddess, tell Redden to get the solders ready, we need to work faster to repair the ship!!" shouted Alan. "Right away sir!" Gaddess smiled as he headed to the intercom system. "We'll help too, come on Yukari!" said Amano as he began to race to the door. "Yeah! Wait up!" she called after him. Merle lightly tugged on Van's shirt. "We're going to find Hitomi lord Van!" claimed Merle.

Van smiled. "Yes Merle, we will find her."
