The Vision of EscaFlowne
Awakening of Wing Goddess
Six
Folken's coming to Fanelia was somewhat surprising but yet not unnoticed. Everyone had his eye on him since he had now betrayed two countries. Hitomi noticed how once she had explained things to Van, how he ended up getting mad at her because she trusted him even though he didn't. She liked Eriya as well. Spending those three or four days after her rescue with both Folken and Eriya made her like them. Van came to bed late and avoided her during the day. It was hard, but that's how Van was. Stubborn down to the last bone in his body.
She hung out with Eriya whenever she could and practiced up on her sword fighting since Van didn't believe in practicing with his wife and Mamoru didn't have time for her any more. Millerna was too heavily pregnant to do anything since Millerna was now due at any time, not to mention that Millerna didn't know how to fight.
She blocked Eriya again. Her sword blocked Eriya's short one.
"Not bad, and your sure that you're a princess?" Eriya asked breaking away.
"Yeah, my brother taught me secretly since my parents never bothered to visit." Hitomi said. "He would just act like he preferred two swords compared to one and used the second one to train me." She said. "He said that he would have preferred to teach me the bow and arrow but since I was kept inside all of the time, I couldn't exactly go out and practice."
"Heh, I bet that you would make one heck of an archer with that power of yours to!" Eriya said as she attacked again.
"Who knows, no one has time to teach me how now." Hitomi said and blushed. "I wonder if it's even impropriate for a queen to know how to any way." She blocked but barely.
Eriya laughed. "A king should take pride in the fact that his queen isn't acompletely defenseless idiot."
"I guess like that's true." Hitomi said as they called it a draw for today.
"Folken-Sama should be done with the council by now right?" Eriya asked.
"Yes, I think so." Hitomi answered.
"You want to come with me?" Eriya asked. "Van-Sama's there as well."
"No, I think I'll go check up on Millerna."
"Suit yourself."
…………………………
You of all people should know that Van's a stubborn man Hitomi." Millerna said. "Everyone else can see it as well."
"I know but…"
"Don't worry about him too much." Millerna said reassuring the girl. "Van's the last thing you need to worry about right now."
"The Wing Goddess right?" Hitomi asked.
"Right, according to your visions she destroys Gaea." Millerna said. "We don't know who she is and don't have any leads."
"She worries me." Hitomi thought out loud which made Millerna look at her. "With things are as they are, I'm worried. I fear that she will awaken much sooner then we anticipate."
"Hitomi…"
"I know that I'm being stupid, but I can't help but to feel this way." Hitomi continued. "My hunches have always been more then a little accurate." She said closing her eyes. "My visions…"
"Believe in the future Hitomi." Millerna said and pressed her hand to her stomach. "My child is about to be born in to the world." She said. "I am worried about the Wing Goddess awakening, however, I believe in a world that will be filled with peace so that my child doesn't have to go through what we're going through right now. War, hatred, fear, agony, pain. Hopefully, in the future, we can live with out war and fear. Well, that's now true, fear will remain, hopefully, we just won't have to fear that we'll be going to war. We humans are a fragial and stupid race. We create things like war, a reason to need to awake the Wing Goddess. If she is one of those who where born to the world of the negative emotions, it would help her sway to that path, but if she was raised with positive emotions she would have no need to destroy Gaea but save it from itself. We humans are stupid Hitomi. Don't let your worry and fear get in between to those who you love."
"Millerna…"
"If what you say is true, and it is near the time for the Wing Goddess to awaken, then instead of fighting with Van, you should try to push those emotions aside, hold down your prideand live every day to the fullest since it might be our lay to live, right Hitomi?"
Hitomi sighed. She didn't know if Millerna understood her or not but what Millerna said made sense. "I'll come see you later." Hitomi said.
"Alright." Millerna said. "Have fun, and try to enjoy yourself a little. You know, you're beginning to act like Van." The pregnant queen said. "You're too serious!"
"And you're not serious enough." Hitomi said which made Millerna laugh.
…………………
The image of a woman with black wings above the earth with something shining a pink light in her hand burned in Hitomi's mind. It worried her greatly and she couldn't help but to grab hold of the pendant that was around her neck. The pendant that her grandmother had given her when she was little. It was a family heirloom and was actually suppose to go to her mother, but Hitomi's grandmother didn't think that her mother was worthy to receive it so it went to her.
The image of the woman stayed in her mind, however no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get the woman's face. Who was she? Why was she seeing these visions and she wondered if other people who had this power could see this vision as well. She had never met with another seer so she never knew what they saw. Her grandmother was one, but her grandmother never told her about the visions that she had. What on Gaea was going to happen? Something, something was going to happen soon. She didn't notice where she was going and bumped in to Van.
Yes, another filler, but well, things are beginning to wrap up.
