Angel's Flight
Chapter 9- Silver Prophecy
You people are soooo awesome!!!!! - I love you all!!! Thank you so much for the reviews!!!! Have I told you all how much I adore your reviews?? Thank you!! Thank you and THANK YOU!!!!! Total inspiration!!! For the whole title thing I guess for now I'll keep it as Angel's Flight… but I was also wondering about a title like 'Tangible or Tainted Fate" I don't know if I use tangible it reminds strongly of a tangerine… and tainted just sounds so… solemn… ::sweatdrop:: so I guess for now I will leave it as Angel's Flight… maybe it'll play a role in the following chapters… Also I have a new Escaflowne fic coming out called: 'Black Dragon' ((Title still to be verified…)) It's should come out soon… so please read that one also!!! - And as I am an Allen Hater… there will most likely be Allen bashing in that story as well… Allen is just… err… such a hate-able character… - Well… on to the review responses!!! Thank you again for all the reviews!!!

ChibiHitomi: I'm so glad that I helped sustain your life… and yes I'm so happy that Van and Hitomi are getting married too!!! . I could practically see it already… but I kind of want Hitomi in a light blue dress instead of white… but hey if white is the whole tradition or whatever… I dunno… Oh and 'Hikari no naka e' is such a pertie song…. ::squeals:: Maaya Sakamoto is such a wonderful singer!!! Also … Allen should be killed off… but first I want him to taste the jealousy of Van and Hitomi fluff!!! BWA HA HA HA HA HA!!! ((yea… I'm evil…)) But seriously who does not want Allen dead?? ((Looks at the crowd in which no one raised their hand)) exactly!!! I'm going to make him lose all his hair or something… Xx heh heh… feel the wrath of… err… TSUBASA!!! Mwa ha ha… Yes… there shall be so much Allen bashing in this fanfic… and I'm going to enjoy it… ((It's kinda mean… but he's such an evil character!! HE STOLE HITOMI'S FIRST KISS!!! GRR HIM!!!! ::Beats Allen to pulp::)) Well anyways… enjoy!!!
Kairi-Heartilly: ::Big bubbly anime eyes:: my chapters are still too short?? NOoooooooo!!! GOMEN NE!!! I shall harder this chapter!!!! -
Hearts of Eternity: Thank you for the review!!! - It was very much appreciated by both Van ((the plushie of course… if only I had the really guy T-T…)) and me… Yes… evil lady must indeed die… in which she will later on… but for now… she's still alive… and quite healthy really… ::sweatdrop::
MirokuLover: I'm glad you liked it!! Thank you for the review!!!
((Random Ramblings)) I must clarify something with you… mysterious lady #2 whom appeared in the last scene, last chapter… ((Standing out in the freezing cold)) is not the same person as the evil lady… ((Whom we all hate dearly with a passion)) I just wanted to make it clear because some people were confused… I'm terribly sorry for all the mix up!! Well… the other day I saw the coolest Escaflowne figure… it looked something like a Gundam but way better because it could change into a dragon and back into a guymelef which I thought was so awesome!!! Of course it cost way too much!! $60.00!! ::sigh:: Also… Now that I'm still somewhat lingering on Maaya Sakamoto and her wonderful job portraying Hitomi in all the character songs… I think Yoko Kanno does a really nice job too!!! Everyone who hasn't heard the Escaflowne soundtrack… must hear them!! ((Especially Maaya Sakamoto's Hikari no naka e, Kaze ga Fuku hi, and Tomodachi))You'll love it!!! I'm thinking about my next fanfic… ((Hopefully I'll post it soon!!)) I think I'll name all the chapters after song names on the soundtracks… you know like this fanfic has the chapters named after colors… or sort of… I went out of that pattern with chapters 3 and 4… but I'll try and keep that one up… kinda running out of colors though… if you have any colors please I'd love to hear them!!! Well… on with the story!! Enjoy!!! Please review… ;;
Tsubasa: Yay!!! - We've reached chapter 9!!!
Van: …
Tsubasa: ::pops a firecracker:: Yay?
Hitomi opened her eyes slowly, as the morning sun poured through the balcony. And the first sight she saw was a gentle face, whose raven black hair was in disarray. His silent soft breathing blew gentle on Hitomi's honey brown locks and Hitomi smiled.
This was the most beautiful sight she's ever seen at first waking in all her life…
Hitomi gently played with his hair as she curled the soft tresses around her fingers only to unwind it again. She smiled gently as the soft black locks intertwined with her own hair. A sheepish grin spread over Van's sleeping figure, and Hitomi blushed.
"How long have you been awake??" Hitomi asked shyly.
"Long enough to notice you playing with my hair…" Van replied, still keeping his eyes shut.
Hitomi turned even a deeper shade of red as she loosed her fingers from his tangled hair and stroked Hikari's black uneven locks of hair.
"She has your hair…" Hitomi smiled at the little sleeping child. Van only smiled as he opened his eyes revealing the soft amber eyes that glowed gently in the mornings light.
"Has your charm…"
"Definitely has your eyes…"
"Definitely has your beauty…"
"You know I can go on and on??" Hitomi smiled.
"I have all day… be my guest." Van smirked and Hitomi playfully punched him in the arm.
"You do not have all day!! You still have to greet people…"
"Oh… yeah… well they can wait…" Van whispered as he pulled Hitomi into a hug. Hitomi only laughed.
"What will they think about you??"
"They can think whatever they want…"
Van was in the throne room with the most bored look on his face, Hitomi stifled a giggle as she slipped her own arm into his. She sighed happily as she gently laid her head upon his shoulder and Van looked down into her vibrant eyes and leaned down and gently kissed her forehead.
Hikari peeked over at her parents where she was hiding behind a pillar, and she sighed happily before turning toward Merle.
"This is the happiest I've seen Ka-chan ever, she used to put up smiles for me but there were time I could tell she was faking it. There were times when I heard her crying in her room and whispering quietly about something, I couldn't quite hear…" Hikari smiled sadly at no one in particular.
Merle looked at the child, she had grown up so quickly while living with Hitomi, and she thought that Hikari was still a child in so many ways but right no she seemed she was more of a maturing adult than anything else.
Merle smiled and replied quietly "I know how you feel ever since she left, Van never smiled as often anymore, well come to think of it he hardly smiled really before Hitomi came."
Hikari and Merle peered over the pillar at the two lovebirds and smiled happily, they looked so happy now. It seemed everything was so perfect now.
Allen and Millerna leaned against the wall as they observed the King and the seer. Millerna smiled happily at the couple but Allen only scowled. Millerna frowned at the knight.
"Get over it, will you?" Millerna whispered furiously.
"I will not…" Allen's eyes were set fiercely upon Hitomi.
"Guys… and their hard-headed stupidness… just don't interfere with their relationship Allen, or I swear I shall have the pleasure of murdering you…" Millerna muttered half-jokingly under her breath before turning and walking away in a flutter of golden hair, Allen paid no attention and continued glaring at Van and staring possessively at Hitomi with yearning eyes.
Hitomi and Van set their eyes upon the door as a slim figure walked through the door, white cloak billowed behind. The figure strode over and kneeled before the king of Fanelia, before pulling the hood of her hood back revealing Long locks of black hair that tumbled elegantly down to her back. A gold circlet shined brightly among the black tresses. She looked up at the king with fey dark green eyes, which held a faraway look in them.
"Your majesty…" the woman uttered softly, her voice rivaled that of a nightingale.
"Please, stand…" Van gestured. "You are?"
"Your majesty, this is Lady Amara of Celestia…" An advisor spoke up, Van turned to look at him, with the 'where-did-you-come-from?' look on his face.
"It is my pleasure to meet you Lady Amara…"
"No, your majesty it is my pleasure to finally be able to meet the great dragon…"
"You flatter me, oh and may I introduce you to Lady Hitomi… my… fiancée"
"Oh, you are the Lady Hitomi I've heard so much about… your majesty… may I request you and your fiancées presence later on?"
"Oh... of course…"
Hitomi leaned gently upon Vans shoulder as they stood in the garden and Lady Amara stood opposite of them.
"Your majesty… I am sure you are still puzzled about your daughters birth… am I correct?"
Van stuttered slightly… "How… how did you know we had a daughter?"
Amara smiled. "I am a priestess, your majesty… I knew the Gaean goddess would do this…"
Hitomi looked up, her green eyes alert. "Wait… what do you mean??"
"I am a priestess of the Celestian temple of the Gaean goddess… Thyra, she was the one who chose Hitomi to come to Gaea in the first place to protect our land from oncoming darkness, we would not be able to defeat ourselves, we needed the goddess of the other realm… Lady Hitomi. It was prophesied that the dragon tamer and the seer would unite to save Gaea. The darkness drew away for awhile to rebuild its strength, it was then when Lady Hitomi returned to her home. The Gaean Goddess knew of this rebuilding of the evil so… she gave a prophecy that the great child of the dragon and seer would appear as the seer did to prevent the darkness from claiming Gaea once again. That great child is your daughter… This is why you had Hikari, Hitomi. It was your love for this world and its inhabitants that made the goddess decide to give you a daughter instead of selecting another. Love is… after all the strongest weapon…" Amara smiled softly as she turned to Van and then Hitomi.
Hitomi looked at the priestess, shocked.
"Your child is created out of pure love… nothing can be stronger than that…"
Van gently wrapped a strong arm around Hitomi and hugged her gently. Amara smiled for a second before she frowned slightly.
"However it was not prophesied that the darkness would emerge so quickly, you have little time in which to prepare this child. The evil will act soon… but do not fret, for the goddess stretches her hand over this family and will watch over you all…" Amara smiled at the couple before turning to walk away. "This is all I have to tell you…"
"But how do we know?? When… when…"
"Don't worry Lady Hitomi, you will know… you shall play a large part in this battle for Gaea as well… you shall guide your daughter through everything… it is you that your daughter will run to for advice… was it not you that saved Gaea once? You shall save Gaea again, but through your child in which this shall be accomplished… and your majesty… you are not forgotten… you are to be their guardian… For it is you they treasure dearly as life itself…" Amara said without turning back. "See you at supper… my Lord… Lady…"
Hitomi looked after the priestess with a slight frown on her brow. She shivered slightly as a chilling wind blew past. She snuggled up to Van and planted a gentle kiss upon her forehead.
Allen learned on a strong oak as he watched the events pass, he stood in the shadows as jealously burned like fire within his eyes. He glared at Van, his hatred within him growing deeper with every second he stayed in their presence. He snarled in disgust as he saw Van trail his fingers around Hitomi's cheeks, and Hitomi would blush and learn up to kiss Van softly on the lips. Allen was sickened by the sight, if Hitomi was to kiss anyone it was to be him and him alone, not some scrappy king of Fanelia.
"You don't like the sight you see, am I correct Asturian knight??" A silky voice drifted towards him, Allen snapped his head around to see blazing scarlet eyes and soft lips that were parted to reveal little fangs.
"Who are you?" The knight demanded in a hissed undertone.
"I am who will make your wishes come true… you just need to complete a few favors for me…"
"What favors??"
The Lady tossed aside black locks that covered her face and turned her piercing gaze to the lovers that stood locked in each others embrace. She smiled sadistically and her eyes burned brighter as she eyed the couple, before turning her gaze to the knight...
So how did you like it everyone?? I hope it was good!!! . I tried to add action… so that kind of contributed to the whole prophecy idea and such, which was sort of in my head already… if you're still confused over the child thingie with the birth and everything… please tell me, so I can explain it somewhat clearer… and well I don't know when it will be by the next time I update… I'll try to make it soon… but I already promised this one before Christmas… I'll try to make the next one before New Year's or something… I'm still listening to Escaflowne music right now… I'm listening to Merle sing ((She sings so cute!!))… I'd rattle on about how great Escaflowne music is but it's really late… I have school tomorrow and I'm really extremely tired (plus I still have my contacts on and if I fall asleep with them… err…)… so… I hoped you enjoyed it… and please REVIEW!!! ONIGAI!!! Happy Holidays!!!
