Chapter 5: Unexpected trip
Cevena lay on her back staring at the ceiling. The land of Gaiea was absolutely amazing! She could almost feel her heart slowly attaching itself into the Gaien earth, but at the same time, she could help feeling an ache for her parents. She had been so taken up by Folken's explanations of the Dragon Slayers she had forgot to ask him how she could get back home.
Now that he was busy planning the expedition, she didn't want to bother him. She wondered how long it had been on Earth.how they were doing. She rolled over then glanced down at her wrist, according to Earth time, it was 12:00pm. A glimmer of hope surfaced, if her watch is still working, perhaps the time was moving at the same time. She fingered her pendant wondering how it had been activated and what other powers were hidden beneath that cerise surface.
Sleepily, her mind wandered to that strange commander of the Dragon Slayers. Dilandau Albatou.she wondered what he was like. "From the stories he sounds.messed up" she thought. Her mind drifted and spiralled slowly around him, clutching the pendant she dropped off into a deep sleep.
She was flying, far out over the mountains. Out and over the mountains, over the pines, endless forests and then the deep blue ocean spread out before her eyes. Spanning to the edge of her sight the writhing sapphire sea went on forever. On the seething surface, little specks dotted the waters.
Squinting her eyes, she tried to make them out. Suddenly, she dropped, swooping downwards like a bird. In her dream, her stomach rolled alarmingly. On closer view, she could see that the specks were boats. However, her eyes were not drawn to the boats but to one particular spot in the ocean where there was no boat. Her mind throbbed.there was no boat there.only empty water.no.look harder. A rosy light flashed in her mind and she saw that there was a boat there! Hidden under some kind of invisibility, the boat had the emblem if Zaibach emblazoned on the side. What a strange dream Cevena thought absently. She was suddenly suffused in a blinding light, completely blinded, she couldn't see anything, then dizziness and darkness.
"It's that girl! The girl from the Mystic Moon!" Shouts rocketed in her ears. Once again she couldn't breathe, she was lying on such hard ground! Did she fall off her bed? The ground lurched, she tried to scream but she couldn't even get any air in her lungs. Black spots flashed through her brain. Where was she?? Help. That was all she managed before blackness claimed her again.
When she next woke, she was once again in bed. "It was all a dream." she murmured to herself. "Negative." A voice came out from the shadows. Cevena jerked up with a yelp, wincing because she was sore all over again.
Peering out the side of her bed, she saw that a figure sat in a chair across from her. "You have been identified as Cevena Jade Fanel, niece of Strategos Folken Fanel. Daughter of former King Van Fanel of Fanlia and-" "Okay! I get the point!" Cevena couldn't help shouting. "How did I get here??"
Looking closer at the young man, she saw that it was the one called Dalet who she was speaking with. Dalet looked at her. "You came from the sky, from an unidentified pillar of light." Cevena shook her head. "Where am I now?" She asked although she could guess the answer. Dalet spoke automatically. "Seaglider, course 60 degrees north, 50 km to Hellan, major harbour of Asturia. Speed 40km/hr, temperature." Cevena zoned out. She couldn't believe she had transported herself right onto the ship! How did that happen?
