A/N: Okay, so sorry for the incredibly long wait. I had to update my Teen Titan fic so my readers wouldn't kill me and now finals are getting closer so I've been busy. But, here it is, the next chapter, and I hope y'all like it. If you guys are wondering about Van…well…he's around but not in a way you'd expect. I don't think this will really be all that long, even for me, and it's kind of filler, but there is good information here. Again, happy readings!

Key to Atlantis
Chapter Four: Ghost from the Past:
He was staring at her again for another foolish reason, he knew it, but he could not seem to tear himself away from her sad profile. She sat on a cushioned ledge that was situated next to a large window that overlooked the Zaibach city of Bras'doch, her thin legs tucked underneath her lithe form in a dainty way. The long white dress she had on made her look like an angel, and she was playing with her long blue hair sadly, staring out over the city as if willing she was anywhere but there. She heaved another sad sigh and turned back to the cross-stitching of her family crest, a small frown forming between her eyebrows as she gazed at the half finished work with disdain flowing from her lilac eyes.
She fascinated him to say the least.
"Lord Dilandau," she spoke in her gentle voice, not looking up at him as she turned her face once again to the window. "I would appreciate it if you would not stare at me as if I was one of your experiments. It…discerns me to say the very least."
"Of course Princess," the silver-haired albino said in his familiar drawl as he swept his muscular form into a low, sweeping bow. "Forgive me; I just cannot bear to see you look so forlornly out the window…as if you are trying to figure out how to escape that is."
"I do not know what you are trying to insinuate Lord Dilandau," the aforementioned princess replied curtly as she rose from her seat to face his reddish-pink eyes with her lavender ones. "But I do know that you are beginning to pester me. Why do you not go and play soldier with your Elitists?"
"You cut me with your words Princess," Dilandau answered back, his cold voice dripping in sarcasm. "One so beautiful should do well to not sully her appearance with such rude comments. My! What would your dear father think?"
The blue-locked girl simply stared back for a moment before she averted her eyes from his mocking stare and began to walk away from the cold commander. However, she started as Dilandau's hand snaked around her wrist and drug her back to face him, any humor from his eyes gone and instead brimming with a calculating look that bordered on madness. When she tried to break free he pulled her closer with ease and lowered his mouth to her ear.
"Be careful Princess," Dilandau whispered in the shaking girl's ear. "You never know just who may be watching…or listening to what your mind hides."
He let go of her arm, and she glared at him one last time, trying to summon enough fierceness to make her look unfazed. Needless to say, she failed, whirled about quickly, and hurried down the hall back towards where Dilandau knew where her quarters. He gave a slight chuckle as he brought his hand which had gripped her up to his mouth and chewed on his index finger until he tasted the salty tang of blood. After so long on this land, he still thought she was one of the most fascinating beings he had ever came into contact with. He ended up so lost in his thoughts he did not notice the distinct presence of his most recent creators creep up on him until the clammy hand clapped him on the shoulder.
"What do you want Zorbane?" Dilandau asked, not needing to look to know who had touched him, knowing instinctively it was the leader of the Ferra. "I was busy having a most wonderful image of the lovely Princess Rynna. She would look quite nice drenched in her own blood…like a fallen angel…"
"Dilandau," Zorbane hissed, making eye contact with the mad eyes until they calmed down. "I have a most important task for you…more important than our little traitorous Princess. It involves something out of your past my dear boy…something that I think will interest you greatly."
"There is nothing from my past to interest me Zorbane," Dilandau hissed angrily, wrenching himself from the Ferra's cold grasp. "You made sure of that didn't you? You made sure I found my way through the Schezar girl's defenses…and you also made sure I would be as ageless as your filthy kind! But please, if you have an interesting task for me other than keeping an eye on King Valon's impudent little brat, then tell me, I'm all ears."
"Do recall the Destiny Wars?" Zorbane asked without waiting for an answer. "Of course you do, it was there that you were suppressed and Celena Schezar awoke once more. It was also the time of dragon and his…of his seeress. Well, even though the dragon is lost to us, it seems that the little seer from the Mystic Moon as finally returned to Gaea…returned to find the Dragon once more."
"VAN!" Dilandau shrieked, turning around to face a calm Zorbane. "HE'S STILL ALIVE!"
"It seems that would be the case," Zorbane said smoothly, inspecting something on his scabbed hands. "She is already accompanied by the legendary dragon and once Guymelef Escaflowne, and now the cat companion of the last King of Fanelia has also joined her. The Emperor feels that she is a threat to the Zaibach Empire, after all she did help topple Dornkirk's rule the last time she frequented these lands, and would like you to eliminate the problem."
Dilandau was quiet for a moment, even though his fury was aching to be released, and contemplated how Zorbane had delivered his order. It sounded as if he thought that the girl from the Mystic Moon should be apprehended, not outright killed, and the crazed commander had an inkling as to why. "Do you wish me to capture her and use her to lure Van Fanel out of hiding?"
"I wish you to capture her so that she may use her power not only to release the lost Fanelian King, but also to help aid the Ferra in conquering this world and the world of the Mystic Moon. I am sick of aiding these pathetic humans and humanoid creatures, and she may be the key to this world's undoing."
"If I do this, can I get Van?" Dilandau asked, the madness now practically brimming from his eyes, his voice now showing an obsession he had not let go of over the years.
"I will allow you to…play with the Halfling if you wish," Zorbane said mysteriously as he flicked a hand in annoyance towards the crazed young man. 'If not for his usefulness I would have been ridden of him long ago…' he thought to himself as he began to walk out of the room. 'His madness is too unstable to depend on, but he will be able to break that stubborn young King in a way none others could. Madness begets madness after all in these humans…'
"Oh will you?" Dilandau asked, breaking Zorbane out of his inner musings. "Just like that…after you all have been obsessing over the cursed Draconians for so long?"
"Why else would I have reawakened you?" Zorbane asked back in reply, his slits for eyes narrowing even more so. "If we do find the boy, I want someone who was…intimate with his former acquaintances to let him in on nearly seventy years of history he has missed. I just hope dear Celena won't interfere, Commander Dilandau."
"Celena Schezar is dead Zorbane," Dilandau hissed angrily, his own red eyes narrowing as well. "You and your Ferra made sure of that when you engineered me to never age…to never die; only I remain! Besides, what makes you think Van Fanel will even still be young? Won't he be some shriveled old man by now?"
"No," Zorbane said cryptically, once again sweeping from the room, a sign that the matter concerning Van Fanel's age was not the albino's concern. "Emperor Salodin expects you to join my legion of Ferra led by De'miraz with your select Elitists here in Bras'doch. I want that seeress to lead us to our hidden King, but I want her stopped after that. The feelings she has for the Halfling can be dangerous, and they can compromise many of the plans we have set in motion. Do you understand?"
"Of course Zorbane," Dilandau answered back with a mock bow and the drawl in his voice becoming more pronounced. Dilandau watched with hungry eyes the dark creature glide out of the room and disappear around the corner, his thoughts now filled with images of a lithe young man with shaggy black hair and maroon eyes covered in blood…and his own hands covered in that same blood. A macabre smile graced his thin lips as he walked out of the room and towards the training grounds King Valon had set up for his top-most Elitists here.
"Soon Van," he whispered to himself, his voice nearly cracking into a high pitched squeal in his excitement. "I'll see you very soon…you and your little seer my little dragon."
The staff of the castle and Zaibach soldiers did not question him as he passed by with a wild look in his eyes, cackling so manically it would send shivers down even a most brave person's spine.

"So," Hitomi asked hesitantly as Merle, Sari, and herself trekked down a forest path towards a land that she had journeyed to once before with Allen Schezar. "This Maboch place used to be Asturia?"
"Yes already," Sari snapped back, obviously annoyed with the young woman from the Mystic Moon. "How many more times are you going to ask that question! It's starting to really get on my nerves."
"Well excuse me for not knowing anything about the new geography of Gaea miss kitty-cat," Hitomi snapped back, angered by the younger girl's rudeness. "Why did they even go and change the names anyhow?"
"So Zaibach could show how tough they are," Sari sighed back, as if anyone who was intelligent should know the answer. "For someone from the Mystic Moon you sure don't know a lot."
Hitomi was about to retort angrily when she remembered another cat-girl saying something very similar to her once before. She looked over at Merle, who was sitting comfortably on Escaflowne's smooth back, and smiled slightly at the smirk covering her old friend's aged face. "I guess so uh Merle?" Hitomi asked with a small giggle, recalling how startled she had been to see not only a fish man but and eagle-headed person as well pass her in the bazaar of Asturia her first time in Gaea.
Merle couldn't stop the laugh she had been holding in any longer and joined Hitomi in laughing over the past, leaving Sari to gaze at the two in a sort of amazement mixed with slight disbelief. The blue-eyed cat girl threw her arms up into the air and let out a moan of exasperation at her companions behavior, which only elicited more giggles from the laughing duo. It was a few moments before the two could calm down, mainly because Merle started to cough and was forced to stop, and the three once more fell into a silent walk along side the ever-silent Escaflowne.
"Child," Escaflowne spoke suddenly to Hitomi, shocking the young girl so bad she gave a small yelp before she could stop herself, causing Sari to smirk shamelessly at her. "Merle and I need to fly higher into the sky to determine the path to be taken after we clear these forests. It would still be unwise to be caught by Zaibach soldiers this early in the journey. I ask that you and Sari remain here until we return, besides, it would do you both well to rest for a moment."
"Okay," Hitomi answered out loud, giving the dragon's maroon eyes a gentle smile, and then giving Merle a nod as the older cat woman gave her a wily smile she knew so well. She stooped and grabbed Sari's arm as Escaflowne shot up into the air, his sleek white body reminding Hitomi of the swans back on Earth, an animal that seemed to not exist on Gaea. She watched the pair fly up and out of sight, only tearing her attention away from them when she felt Sari whip her arm out of her grip.
"Where are they going?" Sari asked as she sat her self down in the traditional cat-like manner and began to clean her paw.
"To try and find a route for us to take when we get out of the forest," the green-eyed girl answered with an unsure sigh. "They want us to rest here until they come back."
"Fine by me," Sari answered tiredly flopping down onto the grass covered ground with a slight HUMPF. Hitomi grinned slightly as she too lowered herself to the ground, tucked her blue skirt underneath her legs and leaned back against a tree, closing her eyes to try and think better. The situation did not look good for the little company, and all they had to guide them was a vision that Hitomi had a few nights ago that were shaky at best when it came to correct interpretation.
Suddenly, Hitomi became overwhelmed with a sense of amazement…it had only been around five days since she had that vision at her graduation, and only six since she had that dream about Van! Hitomi opened her eyes and stared at the stars that were beginning to show in the fading daylight, her thoughts whirling quickly in her head on how quickly everything had changed. A week ago she had been worried about tripping as she walked off the podium at her school and about going to college in America on a track scholarship in the fall. Now, she was once again fighting to find a way to save not only the enchanting land of Gaea, but also how to find Van and return him to the world that now thought him a legend of sorts. Any other normal teenage might flip out over this but Hitomi felt an eerie sense of calm wash over her, as if she only had to believe in herself and her wishes and everything would turn out all right.
"If I believe," she said out loud without knowing. "Then I know I can find him. I have to trust that…nothing else matters right now but finding him."
"You really do care about Van Fanel don't you?" Sari asked, sitting up and looking intensely at the startled girl.
"Wha-what?" Hitomi asked, her cheeks turning red with embarrassment. "Did I say that out loud? Oh my gosh, how embarrassing! I didn't even know I was tal--"
"You didn't answer my question," Sari interrupted, her blue eyes searching the green ones for answers not voiced yet. "Do you really care for Van Fanel as much as you claim you do?"
Hitomi was silent for a moment before she answered, her own heart trying to figure that answer out itself. "I wasn't sure for the longest time…I thought I was in love with another man I met here at first. That wasn't love though, I understand that now, it was just that I wanted someone to care for me so bad that I willed myself to believe Allen's flirtatious manner meant he really cared for me. But what he and I felt was a lie, promoted by Dornkirk to try and hurt Van…which worked perfectly. When I kissed him, and saw the tortured look on Van's face…I knew then in my heart where my true feelings were. It just took a while for my brain to catch the memo.
"And still, I never told him just how much I cared about him, and for the past two years, for me at least, I've regretted that moment more than anything else in my life. I still don't know if what I feel for him is actual love, it's been so long since I last saw him and you can't expect to just start loving a person all over again after so much growth has happened between both of us. I'm not the same person I was when I was fifteen, and I'm sure he isn't either. But, in my heart, I still do love him and I'll do everything in my power to help him to tell him what I should have told him two years ago."
"Merle was right," Sari said after Hitomi finished her mini speech, rolling her eyes to look up at the Mystic Moon in the night sky. "She always said in her stories about you and Van Fanel that you were head-over-heels for him. She loved him too you know, maybe not as strongly as you do, but she did love him, and she was strong enough to let him go. Maybe that's why I never really wanted to believe he was a real person, then my grandmother would only have to go through that pain in her stories. But you kind of shattered that lie, a lie I had almost started to believe, the minute you told me who you were."
"I'm sorry," Hitomi said sadly, not knowing what else to say. "I didn't know Merle was really so…I'm just sorry."
"Everyone has their secrets," Sari said with the voice of someone much older than fifteen as she directed her eyes towards Hitomi's. "Like my tail for instance, a tribute to my hatred of the Zaibach Empire. I was young when the Elitists attacked my village, but old enough to remember everything they did. My parents were killed in front of my eyes, and they were going to kill me too when that silver-haired demon stopped them and instead cut off my tail. He told me it was because he didn't like the look in my eyes, and that he wanted me to live my life with a hideous scar just like him. Merle took me in after that, felt like it was her responsibility or something…Hitomi, are you okay?"
'Silver hair…a scar…' Hitomi thought as her breath started to quicken in fear, an awful face out of her nightmares resurfacing. "What-what was this man's name Sari?'
"Dilandau Albatou," Sari said, a confused look marring her features as she noted the terror flash across those emerald eyes. "Leader of the Elitists, the Emperor's top-notch soldiers. What's wrong Hitomi?"
"How is he still alive!" Hitomi yelled, her mind not working properly. "He should be dead along with all the others. Celena came back, I saw her Sari! He was gone, how is he still here?"
"What are you talking about Hito--" Sari began before Escaflowne and Merle landed once more, startling both girls.
"Celena Schezar disappeared, Hitomi," Merle rasped as she slid down off of the dragon's back gracefully. "She was around twenty or so and soon after Dilandau reappeared among Zaibach's ranks. He was created somehow by the Ferra, Dryden was able to discover that much before he was killed, and however they created him again from Celena Schezar has granted him an ageless existence. He isn't a day older than twenty-two Hitomi…and he's still as unstable as ever. I expect the Ferra will send him out after us soon enough, they probably hope we'll lead Dilandau to Van…you know how deadly his obsession with Van is."
"I'll die before I let that happen," Hitomi growled, an uncharacteristic emotion of fierce protection enveloping her.
"Of course you will, I will too," Merle said as she settled herself against a tree to get some sleep. "Let's hope it doesn't come to that though eh? Now, let's get some sleep and we'll be off tomorrow morning. We found a suitable trail to Maboch that will hide us from Zaiboch well enough." And with that, Merle fell promptly asleep, her slight snores verifying this.
"So…" Sari asked in a dull, exasperated tone. "Dilandau is some sort of psycho, immortal killer that existed back when you were last here, was somehow changed into Allen Schezar's sister I'm assuming, was changed back into Dilandau by the Ferra, and harbors some sort of sick obsession with Van. Did I leave anything out, and why does Dilandau have an obsession with Van?"
"No," Hitomi answered as she herself leaned against Escaflowne for comfort before she tried to go to sleep. "And because Van cut his cheek, giving him that long, red scar on his right cheek."
"And I thought things were weird before," Sari said with a yawn as she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep herself.
"You're telling me," Hitomi whispered as Escaflowne's rhythmic breathing lulled her to sleep, her thoughts uneasy and troubled no matter how much she tried to calm herself down.
888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
"Hitomi! What are you doing?"
Her eyes fluttered open to see a vast green field stretching out in front of her, only being punctuated by a large oak tree seemingly in the center of all the green grass. She looked up to who had spoken to her and gasped when she saw a familiar mess of black hair and maroon eyes gazing back at her. A soft smile graced his mouth and his eyes were twinkling in amusement over something.
"Van?" she asked uncertainly, her eyes blinking a few more times consecutively to make sure she was seeing him truly in front of her. "Are you…are you really here?"
"Who else would I be?" he laughed back, moving enough for Hitomi to notice that he wasn't wearing a shirt and his great white wings were spread out behind him. "I think you've been out here in the sun for a bit to long Hitomi. I think you should go back inside…what's wrong? Why are you shaking your head at me?"
"Because," Hitomi said loudly in disbelief as she allowed his hand to hoist her off the ground, trying to keep the blush she felt in her cheeks from spreading as she tore her eyes away from his lithe body. "I just fell asleep, Van! And Merle was older, much older, and no one seems to remember you as anything else other than a legend! It was dark outside…and Fanelia was destroyed again…the city shouldn't be here!"
"Love," he said worriedly, not noticing her eyes widen at what he had just called her. "I really think you need to just relax, everything's all right, and no one's hurt. Maybe the doctors need to check up on you again…Merle did warn me that you sitting out here as long as you did might cause you to become emotional due to the baby."
'Baby?' Hitomi thought to herself as she backed away from Van's out-stretched hand, her thoughts running a million miles a minute. 'What is going on here? Why is Fanelia here, as brand new as it was when I first came to Gaea, and why did he…he called me love! He does care like I do! But why is everything still so confusing, it wasn't like this before! Why is everything so perfect?'
She suddenly gasped and looked back up at Van, who was smiling so beautifully at her it almost made her want to forget what she had just discovered. She shook her head and said out loud, "This isn't real…it's just my own fantasy. None of this is true."
"It is if you wish it," the image of Van answered back to her, taking a step forward towards her which made her step back. "You have that power Hitomi, why not use it? You want this, you can make this a reality…what's holding you back?"
"Shut up!" Hitomi yelled, clapping her hands around her ears and squinting her eyes so she couldn't see her dream anymore. "Go away! You're not real, just leave me alone!"
…Silence…
Hitomi opened her eyes and let out a pent up breath as she took in her new surroundings, initially just happy she was no longer in that field with something that looked like Van taunting her to use her powers. She had been warned to not use the power of her wishes when her feelings were so troubled because they brought about pain for everyone around her.
She started to breathe normally and took in her surroundings, noticing the stark difference from where she had just been. Sophisticated machinery lined all the walls, but they were on fire and crumbling apart, and she saw a lone figure cradling two fallen forms in his strong arms…a figure she knew so well.
"Folken…"
Van's older brother was cradling the two twin cat sisters, Naria and Eriya, in his arms and then suddenly the image of the wizened Dornkirk appeared on a large screen behind them. Hitomi knew this was the day when the Vione had been destroyed and she started to run closer to where Folken was so she could hear what he was saying to Dornkirk.
"…The answer that has forever eluded man! Our ideal future is at hand!"
"You are wrong your majesty!" Folken suddenly yelled, his face contorting into one of such grief it made Hitomi's heart break to see.
"What!" Dornkirk replied, dumbfounded that his Strategos was defying him.
"You heard me," Folken growled quietly as he lifted his eyes to face Dornkirk fully. "Your methods of bringing about this ideal future are wrong. You only kill and destroy…that is not what I wanted to do when I first joined you. I wanted to rid humanity of the destruction of war and all Zaibach seems to do is intensify the need for it. I can't believe I let myself be fooled by you for so long."
"You understand nothing Folken," Dornkirk answered calmly as the Vione continued to deteriorate around the saddened silver-haired man. "Sacrifices are needed to gain the true power of Atlantis! I had hoped you would understand this, being a descendant of both Atlantis and of man, and would have aided me in the final step of gaining that power. The power of Atlantis, made up of human thoughts and emotions, is a sentient being of sorts, but it needs the right…vessel…to use it properly. That was where the Draconians had failed, but where I would succeed…at least until the unknown element, the girl from the Mystic Moon appeared on Gaea. Alas, perhaps I choose the wrong Fanelian prince in the end."
"So that's what this was all about," Folken said, shaking his head and leaving Hitomi utterly bewildered by everything being said. "All along, that's all you were after. Well, you'll be pleased to know that I suppose you did pick the wrong prince…but I'll be damned if I let you anywhere near my brother just so you can use the blood of both worlds to fulfill your dark purposes! You'll have to settle for me Dornkirk, and I'll come willingly. I'm going to kill you if it's the very last thing I do with this life I've created for myself."
"Is that a promise Folken?" Dornkirk asked with a grin, his eyes widened in a frenzied passion. "Are you willing to die for something as simple as that? There are much darker beings on this world…more vile and sinister than you think I am. I may not be able to use the true power of Atlantis anymore and will need to use the girl Hitomi's strange gift to power my machine, but if I do in fact fail…I am not the only one who wishes to unleash Atlantis once more Folken!"
"They'll fail…just like you'll fail your majesty," Folken stated just as the screen short-circuited, slightly singeing his handsome face. He turned away, placed a final farewell kiss on both of the beautiful cat twins' heads and walked straight through Hitomi, climbing into Eriya's guymelef and jetting out of the now sinking Vione.
"Folken!" Hitomi yelled, closing her eyes as she felt the heat of the exploding base against her face. She wrapped her arms around her face and closed her eyes, wishing she would wake up and out of this horrible nightmare she had wound up in. She could feel everything whirling around her, but she dared not to open her eyes because of what she may find. When everything was still for a moment, she slowly cracked an emerald eye open and scanned where she was.
It was nothing…or really, that's all she could think of to describe it. All around her was an inky black color, not moving or swirling around anything to suggest objects present in the place…only nothingness. She turned back and forwards a few times to see if anything materialized out of the black to join her, but nothing happened except she had now messed up her honey-brown locks.
"Is anyone there?" she asked tentatively, both dreading and wanting a response. She yelped in surprise as the black swirled away and she found herself suddenly standing in a white city…a white city she had visited before. "Atlantis…"
"Yes little girl," a scratchy voice hissed behind her. "A place you are connected with quite well little seeress."
"Who--," Hitomi asked, taking in the flowing black cloak and clammy hands she had seen belong to the things that had destroyed Fanelia in her dream. "What are you? You're one of the things that destroyed Fanelia aren't you? I remember you from my dream!"
"If you knew, why did you ask?" the cloaked form hissed back in amusement, gliding to the side of Hitomi. "Does this belong to you child of the Mystic Moon or Earth?"
Hitomi felt terror grip her heart as the creature lifted up a bloodied and torn up white feather…a feather long enough to belong to an angel. "Oh Van…what have you done to him?"
The thing hissed in laughter, making Hitomi go cold. His black slits locked onto Hitomi's green, wide open eyes, and he showed her an image of a blue…form… destroying Gaea and bringing about the worst desires of people's hearts. She shook her head and turned away, shutting the image out of her head.
"That is the fate of this world girl, and then your own. What makes you think you can try and stop us, the Arref! One of the most ancient beings on either of these worlds, and scorned on both…we will succeed where Dornkirk could not, I guarantee you that."
"No…no…NO!"
888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
"NO!"
"Hitomi!" Merle yelled, slapping Hitomi across the face to fully wake the girl up from her nightmare. "Stop it! It was just a dream…calm down, we're all still here."
Hitomi rubbed her cheek and blinked a few more times to get the sleep out of her eyes and was met with three very concerned pairs of eyes, a deep brown being the closest to her. She started to shake and hugged Escaflowne's neck when the white dragon lowered its head to rest across her lap to try and comfort the distraught girl.
" Merle, Sari," Escaflowne asked to the two concerned cat-folk. "I will comfort her until she can fall back asleep…do not bother her with asking what she may have seen until the morning. We all still do need our rest…go back to sleep, I will stay with her."
Sari nodded slowly, casting the shaking girl one last concerned glance before turning back over to fall back asleep. Merle studied the dragon for a moment before she too nodded and joined her adoptive granddaughter to fall back asleep. Escaflowne directed its attention back towards the weeping girl after he was sure the other two had fallen back asleep, humming the old Fanelian tune it knew to lull her into a dreamless sleep.
"You are safe child, sleep untroubled now, I will protect you."
"Where are you Van?" Hitomi whispered as she let herself be hummed to sleep by the great white dragon. 'Where are you?'
