It's time Chapter 28, an escaflowne fanfic

Celena had almost stopped fighting him. When turned around to see why there was a man with a scar on his left cheek and his left hand brushing the cheek. "He will pay for scarring my beautiful face." The look that the man gave him was colder than ice with a look that said he would do anything for a kill.

"Prince Vanel it's been a while." She had to think for a minute on the intricate halls through the area. "I don't have long." She quickly drew a map for him to follow. They'll find out that all my memories have resurfaced.

The sight before them though was the most breathtaking sight to be seen in the known world. A beautiful city could be seen sparkling in the sunrise. There were tall buildings surrounded by a wall. The city looked vaguely familiar even from the far away distance. It was almost enough to forget that they had headed out after they had heard a distant piercing scream. "It can't be…. Can it? Millerna asked under her breath.

I think it is." Dryden held his wife close to him.

"You will not be torturing people any longer. Your lust for power has made you something other than human." Loanna took to the controls trying to figure out what controls would return his ever increasing power drainage from him. "Just hold on I hope I have this right." She pulled the lever.

Hitomi was led to a room that she didn't see and instructed to rest before it was time for the ball. When the time came she would server her purpose. She walked into the darkness of the room as if she had been there before.

Disclaimer: I don't own them. I just have fun writing the story. Oh well I own the DVD set.

Chapter 28

Having arrived at the legendary city of Atlantis they hadn't quite gotten over the breathtaking awe of actually being inside its palace. There was so much that was going on it was if the city had never been transported to another planet, or even been in the Mystic Valley. It was as if the city that had never truly been actually lived. Like that thought could actually made sense but that was the recurring thought between the group. This whole group knew of the legend of Atlantis.

Of course Dryden had holed himself up in the palace library not able to pass up the opportunity to study in one of the most prestigious libraries ever known of. The only other library that could have ever topped was the Library of Alexandria that was protected by some magical spells and only a select few could get in.

Millerna headed straight for the medical facilities to see what they were like. She didn't know why but she felt that she needed to familiarize herself with the area. There wasn't a sign of life in the area as of yet but there was something strange about this room that she couldn't quite place. It looked like any other hospital room that she had seen with the white walls that seemed to gleam in anticipation of use. They were barren of course with no sign of welcoming pictures or life. The room was filled with knew beds and equipment and of course you needed a key to get into the doctor's supplies drawers. That would have been a given even her little facility.

"Milady, this area is off limits." A voice said behind her.

Millerna looked around to see a young male that looked like he was white as a ghost. "Are you alright?" Millerna asked concerned about his coloring.

"I am fine." The man answered.

Millerna shook his head. Looking into his eyes it pained her to no end. It was the same look that Wasuremono would get when he was trying to remember something and he couldn't. Other than that there was nothing there, no emotion, no soul. How could anyone do this, to make a person soulless and think naught of it? It was just far too incredible to be believable. 'I promise I will do all I can to help these people.'

-Hitomi-

Hitomi had servants buzzing all around trying to get her ready hours before the ball was to be given. They had to make Meiden's future queen a sight to behold. He hadn't been seen for hours but his instructions were implicit. They were to start at a certain time. He wanted to see her before then.

Hitomi's eyes seemed to stare into nothingness as they piddled with her hair and made her dress ready. Something was wrong though and she couldn't quite place it. She could feel a migraine of a headache while she tried to remember. Why was her mind a blank slate? She didn't recall feeling this experience before but it was as if she had lived before she had lived in this palace.

"Leave me." She ordered the women that were prepping her.

"But milady," the head servant protested.

"I said leave me." Hitomi gave a glare that scared the woman.

Once alone in the room she screamed as a barrage of memories returned to her. She wasn't supposed to be here alone. She was supposed to be with her family here. They were supposed to be stopped. The rebuilding was supposed to be stopped. There were still many gaps but she knew enough to know that something was coming and it was coming fast. The painful memories would keep coming and leave tears in her eyes but she had to get out of here and she knew that the 'maids' would refuse to allow her to leave and she didn't have long before they would come in and try to help her finish.

She looked around to find nothing suitable for sneaking out of rooms. She felt foolish for trying to pull something that she hadn't done since she was a child. Come to think of it there were only two dresses in the room leaving only one choice. She couldn't sneak away in one of those heavy ball gowns. She grabbed the red gown and didn't bother with any of the multiple under garments that she would have to wear with it.

The halls were dark but you could see a glow of white all around. "Didn't they believe in any other color than white? "You have come." A voice said behind her as a hand was placed on her mouth.

-Van-

Van had walked all through the cavern and had eventually found his way out of the dark musty caves but was lead to smooth walls as whiter than his palace. The walls were bare though as if somebody couldn't take the time or the care to fill them. The only thing that lit his way was the torches. It was strange. Somebody was either watching out for them or had it in for them. He hoped that it was the latter because he didn't know how much more that his family could take.

The young king bristled at the feel of wind that shouldn't be there. "Who's there?"

"Young lord, follow me, all will be as it should." Van turned to see someone with wings who began to lead them down another hall.

"Where are you taking me?"

"Your queen will arrive shortly. She will change at this contact."

"Wait! Who are you?"

"I am Atlantis's guardian. I can not fight but I protect the halls and when they resurrected Atlantis I was brought back. I am merely a spirit with only so much that I can do. I will only be corporeal while Atlantis exists but it must not go on existing."

The image walked out the door. Van kept pacing the floor. He didn't really have time for this. He was supposed to be saving his wife. There was something about this character though. He was different almost touchable but almost not at the same time. He didn't stop pacing until after he heard the door open. The Guardian stood there with no one other than Hitomi. "Do what you must young lord but remember that you don't have much time." They were left alone.

Van stood there watching, looking, and not wanting to believe that this was his wife kneeling before him. "Hitomi," he went to touch her cheek to make sure that she was real this time. "Hitomi, please tell me that this is really you this time."

Her green eyes said it all. Her hands touched him fearfully that he wasn't real. Her memories that had been eluding her all returned all at once. What was this… this…?

There were tears coming out of her eyes. "I love you." It was all that she said before she almost collapsed in his arms.

Hitomi!" He called out pulling her into his arms even farther. They didn't move from that position. "You asked me to give you this." Van pulled her face closer to him looking over her carefully. "I love you." It was all that Van said before he pulled her into a hot passionate kiss that went on and on.

Hitomi couldn't remember a time that he had kissed her like this. Like it was all that he thought about was saving her. It had her ready to pull him into a deeper kiss that left little question of wanting. Neither of them noticed the door opening behind them.

The Guardian stood in the background watching in awe. Van's wings had come out in all their grace and beauty enfolded around the king and queen. Hitomi had her arms wrapped around his neck pulling him closer to her not letting him go. Their auras were matching, combining, powers mixing, and changing colors. The power that was emitting in the room was absolutely pure and around the couple you could see the people of their past smiling. Lord Folken de Lacour stood with his wings open as if he wanted to shield these two from what would come. Two women stood completing the circle around them their hands almost touching but power emitted from them. There were words that came out of all three spirits simultaneously. "They will stay together for the rest of their lives."

Hitomi screamed as she felt something shoot from back ripping the material. Van held on to her tighter as he felt the wings brushing against his arms. His hand caressed her back soothing her and trying to scratch where he knew that the new wings were going to itch. "It's okay love. Relax; sleep for we don't have long." He looked around but didn't see any of the spirits that had been circling them but he certainly felt at least a familiar presence.

The Guardian took the sleeping woman in with her wings that were trying to vanish slowly. "The gods have granted her with a gift." He handed Van a dress for her to change into. "She will be able to wear this dress without fear of it tearing when it is time for her to use them."

"She doesn't have time to learn how to fly."

"She will on instinct but she must only do so when it is the last option." The Guardian seemed to float back into the halls.

-Loanna-

Vanel screams shook the entire room and possibly the entire mountain. The power that had been drained out of him was apparently returning albeit slowly but she had no idea how to make the transition smoother for him. Meiden laughed above her. "You really thought that his body would just accept the power that had been drawn out of him. That power will work with my machines and destroy him."

"That's what you think." She had managed to lower the metal table somehow while she was holding Meiden in the air.

"It seems that you can't do two things at once hime." Meiden egged her on. "All that power and you have yet to learn how to use it."

The young woman's appearance seemed to have changed before his eyes. She was slightly taller, with longer eyes and her eyes seemed almost opaque with the fire that lay there untamed. "You're wrong," she said in a different voice that was far more authoritative. She had changed so much so that he believed that she knew how to use that untouched power.

He found himself not only penned to the wall but unable to move by some unseen barrier. He had never known anyone to be able to get a barrier under control. "Who are you?"

"I am Queen Varie, guide to Loanna hime of Cesario, and mother of King Van Slanzar de Fanel. You Meiden shall pay for all you misdeeds."

Meiden shook in fear at the woman that stood before him. She ignored him though. He could see her almost physically change but not quite as she went to the young prince. The woman did nothing but place her hands on his chest and close her eyes. There were multi colors surrounding her as she began to help him calm down and his battered body heal enough accept the powers that were trying to reenter his body.

By the time that his powers were placed back in his glowing body she was now Loanna but she was dressed in royal robes that had once been the former queen's and she wore and a pendant on her forehead. Vanel had found his way out of the bounds that held him and looked up at the ceiling to find that Meiden was now penned to the ceiling.

His breath however caught when he saw Loanna. She was absolutely gorgeous in the gown that she had on but her eyes looked different. They were no longer swirling in uncertain power but it was more as if she was sure of herself and her powers. "What happened?" He whispered.

"No time, let's go." She pulled Meiden down roughly from the wall. "You will act as if all is normal."

"Yes, your majesty." He might have appeared like he was going to submissive but from the look in his eyes Vanel wasn't going to trust him. The man felt as if he had nothing to lose.

-Celena/Dilandau-

Dilandau threw Analous against the wall that he could easily have been knocked out. Dilandau gave an eerie smile. "So you thought that you could hang on to a great warlord, huh?"

Celena, you have to come back, you can't allow this man to take over your soul." Analous encouraged.

"Who is this Celena? Does she have any experience in anything that happens? She can't control destiny but I know of someone that sure can." Dilandau gave an evil laugh. "I will not be leaving you here though. You will be coming with me. It's been awhile since I have been able to torture someone unconditionally."

A scream vibrated through the hall that made the evil glint in Dilandau's eyes shine with mirth. "Aww… sweet torture. It makes my blood shiver with anticipation." Dilandau looked around to see if he could recognize the area. Seeing as he didn't recognize the area he decided that he would just walk around and see what they had.

He found a room that was lit up by torches tied Analous down with ropes over a pit that he had fired. The ropes were tied carefully and knotted in such a way that one wouldn't be able to get out unless the person that tied them released them. At the end of each rope there were lit.

Analous gulped in fear. This just couldn't be good in anyway. There was fire all around him and he now understood Lord Van's fear of fire. It didn't matter which direction that he went he wouldn't be able to escape it. Lord Dilandau seemed to be towering over him with a creepy look in his eyes that led to one believe it was pure pleasure.

A whip pierced his skin on his stomach as his body arched up in protest to the fire beneath him and the pain that shot through his entire body. "Why are you doing this?" He gasped out.

"Don't talk. You're strictly here for my pleasure. That wench has kept me locked up all that she's going to." Dilandau sent an unreal laugh out before that same hip lashed across his chest.

"Celena, you have to wake up!" Analous called out again. The pain that was shooting through was agonizing and he could barely hold back a scream. One glance at the candles told him that the ropes were half burnt through. The young man's train of thought was interrupted once again but this time he couldn't keep the agonizing scream from tearing through his lips.

"That's right scream for me. Scream loud and long." Dilandau raised his hand to whip him again ready for blood curdling scream to stream through the man before him.

"Stop!" Another voice rang through his head. You can't do this! You're going to kill him." Celena was trying to break through.

'Shut up! You have denied me pleasure for the last time, wench. You are just a woman.'

'Dilandau you're so going to pay for all you have done.' Celena threatened.

'A threat? Coming from you. You're nothing.' Celena sent a piercing pain through his head as she tried to make her way out.

Analous was now holding his left arm up trying to keep it from being burned more than it already was. His right leg was the one to break. Trying to keep his legs from being burnt he swung it to if left side effectively putting his sprawled body in a weird position but he was hoping that he could use it to his advantage because he couldn't take anymore of this. He didn't have long either. Dilandau would come out this in just a minute. Lucky for him the next string to break was the one on the right leg and he was able to push off with his feet and get face down to try to pull his hand out of the last rope.

"What do you think that you're doing?" Dilandau's voice shimmered in irritation behind him.

"I'm… fighting… back." He gasped out from effort his hand coming free flinging him back into Dilandau. "You… get… out… of … her!" Analous fought as hard as he could be injured, bleeding and burnt.

"What are you going to do about it boy?" Dilandau took him by his throat. "You're getting on my nerves now." Dilandau merely threw him against the cave wall.

"That's enough Lord Landon!" Loanna had seen some of what had happened through the bars while she had been trying to get in. Vanel hadn't been a lot of help and Meiden didn't carry all of his keys with him.

"Who are you talking to? You've got the wrong person. I am Lord Dilandau of the Zaibach Empire."

"I am Queen Varie of Fanelia, and princess of Atlantis. You will listen and obey your superiors. She ordered him.

"Why should I? I've never listened to the Atlantean rules as it is."

"That wasn't the reason for your banishment." Loanna replied.

Dilandau scowled at the woman. No woman had ever ordered him around. He looked beyond her and begun running his fingers down his cheek. "I see the years have been kind to you Lord Van. You haven't aged one bit in twenty years." Dilandau attempted to walk toward them only to find a barrier had been placed around them. "I will get my revenge." Dilandau took out a knife and attacked her.

All the while that Dilandau was doing this Meiden was trying to make his getaway. He however found that the barrier didn't allow him to move. That was alright though because there was them one way to do this. "If you can keep them alive I'll let you torture them all you want."

"I don't need you permission old man." Dilandau replied before he heard something behind him.

"You will be tormenting no one." Analous's voice rang thought he room. "Milady," he bowed slightly to her as his injured body wouldn't allow him to bow very far.

Queen Varie/Loanna bowed to him as if he was an equal. Vanel who finally managed the ability to move went to help Analous. "You're injured as well." Analous tried to push away the help.

The two young men looked at Dilandau. "How do we take him?" Vanel asked in a pained whisper.

Queen Varie/Loanna glanced at Meiden, "You will carry him, we won't be returning down here." She ordered him.

Vanel watched her walk away from the caves while following on pained step at a time with Analous. "It seems that we haven't met yet. I'm Vanel Kanzaki."

"You deny your heritage and your father?" Analous whispered silently.

"No I just haven't gotten quite used to the idea that I'm a prince of a country." Vanel continued keeping his voice low.

"You know she is definitely something." Analous carefully lifted his foot over an errant rock.

"I can't believe that I've kissed her and that my grandmother's voice was one of the main voices in her head.' Vanel thought in passing. "She's definitely something." Vanel agreed.

"I'm Analous. You look like your father."

"So I've found out." Vanel agreed.

They left the caves into smooth white halls. Something caught his eyes; a sign that was in the strange mixed language of the Egyptian hieroglyphs and Greek letters. The sign that read, "Only one may use these in the time of need." They were boots that looked just like the armor that he had gathered throughout this strange journey.

"They were meant for you." Varie's voice said in front of him. Vanel picked them up. Vanel thought that he really didn't deserve them though. He had been ready to just give up wandering if all of this was worth the trouble that they had been going through. He knew and had known that they were supposed to destroy Atlantis. Loanna being revealed as his grandmother had given him the strength that he had needed to keep going but he needed to see Loanna and make sure that she was alright.

Meiden was ready to drop Dilandau at the sight of the Atlantean halls. He knew his way around and knew that he could save himself from this band of Atlanteans. He had no desire to be punished by any of the Atlanteans that were amongst them. Little did he know it wasn't the ones that were making him carry the Lord Dilandau. Someone appeared before them. "You must hurry. I will guard these two and when the time comes they will be kept safe."

Who are you?" Vanel asked in awe of the winged creature that stood before him. He looked more of an angel than his father ever had. He had accepted that he would never look like an angel but his mother always thought like he did when he spread his wings. That was the thought that mattered. He also knew that this family secret would be revealed before all of this was all over.

I am the guardian of Atlantis. When Atlantis was rebuilt I was resurrected with it. Now go there isn't much time. He took charged of Meiden and Dilandau.

"You must do something about Lord Landon." Varie requested.

"Milady you mustn't worry. He will be taken care of. She will be safe." The Guardian promised.

As they moved through the halls Vanel made a brave move and touched the queen on her shoulder. "Grandma can I see her?"

"Don't worry child. After this is over all will be well. Varie placed her hand on his face.

"I…"

"She knows." She will be fine with all of the training that you have been giving her and my help she will survive. You have chosen well." Varie turned away. "Let's join your parents."

Vanel looked at his grandmother and let out a breath he hadn't been aware that he was holding. His parents were safe for the moment. Analous could be heard letting out a breath of relief. "Lady Hitomi is safe."

"You know my Okaasan?"

"Yes, Lord Van made me her personal guard until we were all separated." Analous looked around at them. They each had a purpose for being there but what was his?

"You must see Najeh." It was all Vanel said before they opened the door that would lead them to their fate.

-Van-

Van looked to the door, in which, the newest group of people joined them. Very much to his surprise his mother, with his son and protégé walked through the door. This whole scenario seemed almost normal to them.

Van looked at his son that he had spent so little time with. He was covered with the most beautiful dragon armor that Van had ever seen. He himself had only seen one or two of them but had never touched or worn one. It was said that the wearer was to be protected tenfold. What was going to happen today? That armor was also said to only work once.

Hitomi looked the direction that had caught her husband's attention. "Vanel…" she almost ran to him but was held back by Van. "Let me go to him."

"He's heading over here love. We don't want to draw undue attention to us yet." Although with what Vanel was wearing that was going to be next to impossible unless he planned to pose as a guard, from the looks of it though he wasn't.

Vanel saw his mother and it was all that he could to keep from running to her. "I'll be back." Varie followed at a short distance. Vanel reached for her cheek. "Okaasan something is different."

Hitomi smiled at him. "You have always been a bright young man." She hugged him. Everything was going to be alright.

"Mother," Van bowed to her, "it's good to see you again. I'm sorry it's under these circumstances." He said to her.

"My son, you have grown into a fine man but I don't belong in this time with you. I am only here to help guide Lady Loanna." Varie changed very briefly to that of Loanna.

Hitomi chuckled. "What's it like to kiss someone your Grandma resides in Vanel?"

Vanel glared and blushed at his mother. Just how closely had she been keeping an eye on him. Van just outright laughed at his sons face while Varie chuckled. "He didn't know that it was me that was the main guiding voice, though we have spoken. He sure made Lady Loanna forget about everything." Vanel turned several different shades of red though.

The laughter died down when they suddenly felt a power shift in the center of the room. The chandelier was shaped in the fate alteration machine. None of them knew why they hadn't seen it. Now they understood part of what was going on.

"It's time. We mustn't allow that machine to activate." The guards were starting come in to guide people to the table to eat. All of them cooperated with the exception of the little group of Atlanteans.

Swords were drawn and they were ready to fight them. Varie of course had never picked up a sword. Vanel looked through all of what was going on around them. He hadn't completely recovered all of his strength and was feeling this. Analous was feeling this as well. "Stop this at once!" A voice boomed. All heads turned toward the voice.

Millerna was in the crowd watching everything in shock. Her daughter had just come out and stopped this whole thing with one command. Yet with one glance she knew that her daughter was not entirely herself. Dryden by her side knew what was going through his wife's mind but all he could do was rub his hand on the back of her arms. There was sadly nothing that she could do to stop this.

Analous turned the direction that the voice had come from, "Najeh." Najeh took one good look at Vanel and felt a migraine coming on but one look at Analous almost made her pass out.

"Who are you?" Analous attempted to step toward her.,

"No one comes near her."

"Yes they do." Vanel stood in front of the guard. "Go to her." Vanel ordered him.

"I am Princess Jonarc." She stepped away. "Don't…" She whispered. The group stared in awe as Analous reached for her.

"Do you remember out late night rides to the cliff?" He asked her his voice low and seductive and only meant for her. His hands barely touching her cheeks.

Millerna watched with a slight smile on her face. Whoever knew that all of this would go and reveal the guy that her daughter had fallen for several months ago? Najeh wouldn't ever say who it was but Millerna had suspected and she believed that Najeh wouldn't mention it because she was afraid that Millerna wouldn't allow it.

"Do you remember…" Analous didn't finish the statement before he pulled her into a passionate kiss. This was what pushed the shocked guards to attack.

Vanel was ready and blocked the attack. "Get her and everybody else out of here. Vanel ordered.

Millerna heard the order and started to usher all of the people out. Whatever was going to happen wasn't good but she did know that Atlantis was going to be destroyed. She hoped that all would turn out well and better than it did the last time.

Meanwhile outside Loanna people had just come to the gates and were threatening to break down the door if they were not allowed in. They kept saying that they had an important message for their leader and had even given her name but they had still been denied access. That stopped when they saw a blond haired woman and brown haired man walk out leading several people out of the palace.

"If you want to survive you will get yourselves out of here and you will open the gate. Millerna told them. There is trouble inside."

Is our leader in trouble?" Millerna looked at them.

"Who is it?"

Her name is Loanna." One of them, apparently the head of the group answered.

"I don't know the name but you can look amongst this crowd after we get out of here and this city. Millerna was from with the group but they had no choice but to make sure that she was safe.

Back inside the battle went on and the guards that had been fighting were slowly starting to back off. The group was exhausted but then they heard a voice that they had been hoping would not be. "I can still see my heart's desire come to pass."

Hitomi turned and looked, "How can you know what you desire when you don't know what you truly want?" She echoed the sentiments of Allen's father almost exactly.

"Who wouldn't want to control the world?"

"Who in their right would desire that? All people truly want is to be happy and you are not. You have thought of naught but power from the time that you were a young man. If you do this you will not survive and your granddaughter will not know who you are."

"What do you know? You who have desired to be by the side of this accursed king. You who have had a child that is just as cursed as he is. They will bring doom to all that they touch. No I know what I desire. I desire a perfect world that will obey and listen to me. I desire the fear in people's eyes that reflects in their souls."

Van tensed at what he said and Vanel didn't understand completely what was implied. "This is what Dornkirk wanted. The perfect Utopia and yet they weren't happy. You who have taken people's will without a second thought. Is there nothing that would stop you? Dornkirk lost his life seeing his dream come to be. What are you willing to lose?" Van stood straight and tall.

Varie stood by their side silent as she heard the wisdom that had come from Van and Hitomi's lips. "They are right. You have been playing with people's lives but if you don't stop this will be your last stand." Varie stood in front of them.

"You are actually willing to give me a chance. A dead queen, yeah I've heard of you. You have no say in this because you inhabit the body of an otherwise powerless girl."

Vanel stepped in front of his grandmother. "You will not threaten her."

"It's the cursed prince standing up for his lover." Meiden sneered as the machine powered up. "Once this is started it can not be stopped."

Van felt the power from the machine trying to filter though him but he couldn't allow it. He fought to place a barrier around him but it was harder than he remembered. It maybe more of the fact that he hadn't used his powers in twenty years.

Hitomi felt the power drift through her and her one desire was to end all of this somehow. She felt pain shimmering through her body as the wings tore out of her back. The wind flying around her as the wings flapped.

Van and Vanel took their cues from her as their wings came out as well. "You all have to desire the same thing for this to work." Vanel looked at his grandmother and knew the wisdom of her words. He had been told as well as his mother that Atlantis could not exist on this plane. It would bring destruction and he didn't want that fate for either of the worlds that he had known.

"Meiden it's too late to stop them." The Guardian stepped out from behind him. "You shouldn't have rebuilt the forbidden city."

Meiden shook in fear as he saw the results of the three Atlanteans that had been at the heart of this whole thing. This couldn't be he had taken all of the precautions possible to keep this from happening. They weren't supposed to be united in the first place. Najeh should have never met the chosen one. "I will rule the world." His desires were being fought but he knew that they would be seen.

"No you will not." A voice said behind him. Celena put sword through the backside. She didn't look in the least bit controlled by Dilandau any longer. "I worked under one tyrant before, not by choice but I refuse to do it again."

Meiden gasped smiling sadly at him. "This can't be."

"It is." Celena had tears in her eyes when she thought about what she had just done. "You will harm me or anyone else no more." She said. Varie helped her down and told her to get out of there. Everyone was in danger that remained. The four that did remain had to. Celena sent her prayers up for their safety before she made her way out the doors.

The Fate Alteration Machine had begun to react to the desires of the family of Atlantis. It was starting to glow a bright bluish pink. The room all around them was starting to glow in the same colors. "You have done well royal family of Atlantis. Your job is done." The Guardian held his hands out to transport the group in a blue light.

Varie stood by his side. "Father, so it ends now."

"Yes, my child and our line shall live on." With that Atlantis went up in bits.

Hitomi could barely hold herself up in the air. Her untrained wings were not used to her body and gave out on her.

I think that this is the longest chapter that I have written yet. I have one more chapter I believe and I will try to finish it before school starts for me next Tuesday. I look forward to reading you reviews.
