Hey everybody! I'm back with chapter 2. Ok, I know that chapter 1 was really slow and long. This chapter won't be as long, hopefully. Please review when you are done. Thanx.

By. Lady Emerald
Van Fanel, king of all of Fanalia, sat on the throne
thinking about the girl he had let go of from the Mystic Moon. One year ago she
had left and he had made the biggest mistake of his life by letting her go. One
year was too long for him. How long before he would see her again? How much
longer must he wait?
"Hitomi", he sighed.
"What your highness?" One of his advisors asked him.
"Oh, um, nothing. Let's call it a day shall we gentlemen."
Van said. They had been sitting inside all day and were ready for a break.
"Lord Van, Lord Van!" Merle cried when she saw that he had
finally gotten out of the meeting." What was it about today?"
"Uh, oh sorry, Merle, I guess I am little out of it today."
"Are you thinking about her again?" She stressed the word
again.
"Um, no. Why do you say that," was the best defense he could
think of.
"Because you have that far away look on your face. The look
that tells me you should have never let her leave in the first place. You need
to get over her and pick a bride! The advisors keep bugging me about it. And…."
"I know, I know. I just can't as long as I know that she is
out there somewhere. I…." He stopped in mid-sentence. She was coming! He had to
get ready for her.
"Lord Van? What is wrong?" Merle's voice broke his trans.
"Merle, I need you to do something for me."
"Sure what is it?"
"Send a message to Allen and tell him that he needs to get
here as soon as possible."
"But why? He and the royals are on their way here already
and…"
Van cut her of," because Hitomi is coming. Now, please go
send the message and stay here." He yelled the last part from over his shoulder
as he ran outside to the stables.
Merle ran off and
got the fastest messenger to go give it to Allen. Then she went off and got a
room prepared for Hitomi, because she knew Van was in too much of a daze to
think of that right now. As she looked
out the window she saw Van sitting on his horse by the gates.
He didn't know when she was coming, but she was coming. He
saw the messenger, Merle had sent, ride past him. He knew that Allen would get
to Fanalia faster if he knew Hitomi was coming.
Van then decided to ride in the forest for a little while.
Then he looked up and saw the familiar pillar of blue light come out of the
sky. Then he saw a small figure fall through the light and then it vanished. He
rode fast and hard to get to the place where he thought he saw the light end.
In his mind on one word was being said, "Hitomi."
END OF CHAPTER
