Chapter 6: Reflection

Hitomi was woken up to a light tapping on her door, of the servant seeing if she was up to having a casual dinner with 'His Highness' and other members of the Counsel. The servant also was assigned to help the seer from the Mystic Moon with anything that she would require.

The room that was to be Hitomi's room for the next few months was a very spacious room, with a red carpet- the royal shade- that was very soft and warm -especially on bare feet. The bed that she was in was a beautiful four-poster bed. The frame was made out of a dark wood and had dragons carved everywhere. Her bed sheets were the royal color red, with a golden leaf design embroidered on it. The room also had an amour-style dresser in the same fashion as the bed and other dressers and the vanity table, and the mirror. The room –to Hitomi's delight- overlooked the blossoming Fanelian garden at the back of the castle.

"Would M'Lady like it if I helped her dress?" asked the servant who looked not that much younger then Hitomi, and had her nearly bleach-blond hair pulled back in a braid that reached her mid-back.

"No, thank you. I can dress myself. But thank you anyway." Replied Hitomi, as she rummaged through the different dressers in search of her cloths –which the servants had put away for her, while she was making her presents known. Hitomi had changed into some thing more comfy to sleep in.

The maid bowed respectfully, "Then I shall wait out in the hall so that I may –if M'Lady would like- escort her to the dinning hall, as I was informed by Lady Merle that M'Lady is not familiar with the castle as of yet." And left the room for Hitomi to change in private.

When Hitomi came out of her room she was dressed in a thin long-sleeve purple cotton shirt, beige Kati paints, and her leather boots –which were her only foot ware that her had brought. She left her hair down.

Hitomi Speaks:

I was silently lead by the servant girl who had woken me up to inform me of super, which I was going to have with Van and the others. She lead me this way and that way and down some stairs, she probably didn't know that I knew of the Passageways, but I didn't mind for it gave me a chance to think about the events of the past 12 hours. I had been getting ready to go on my summer vacation, when, out of the blue, these strange people come to me –in my own home- and told me that I could instead go back to Gaea, for a little while. It turned out that these strange people are the current four samurai of Fanelia. If they hadn't been able to convince me that they were truly from Gaea by the way they greeted me, –like royalty was it? - or by the cloths that they wore, they had me convinced when I actually saw them – they were half human half animal! The leader, the female, -Sora was her name? - was half eagle, with brown wings, short brown hair that only reached her chin, and piercing yellow eyes. I didn't have a good chance to take good look at her companions, but one was half bear –Balu? - another was half panther was it? His name was… Konn? And the other, the youngest, I believe, was half cheetah…Cheatourus?

We arrived a fair distance from Fanelia, as to not attract attention from the blur pillar of light –so they told me. On our way to the castle they told me of the plan that had constructed so that they could play a 'little' trick on Van –apparently they do this sort of thing a lot. I was to pretend to be a captured Zaibach soldier, and be presented in front of the allied forces, a.k.a. 'The Counsel'. At one point during this 'trick' I really thought that I was going to spend my first night back on Gaea in one of the Fanelian prison cells. Thank God that Merle was in on it and relived my true identity.

The Counsel it turned out to consist of 'the old gang,' Allen, Millerna, Chid, and Allen's refund sister, Celena and Van.

It turns out that Millerna is going to be queen in a few weeks, QUEEN! And I can't believe at how big Chid has grown. He must be nearly six feet tall, almost as tall as his biological father is- though I doubt that he knows yet. And Merle. Man, she has grown. She's grown almost as much as Chid!

Then I had a vision.

It was such a sad vision, the death of the late Queen of Fanelia. And after the vision I felt so tried. Was it because I haven't had a vision for so long that it took all my strength? Or was it a combination of coming to Gaea and the vision? All I know is that it really took a lot out of me. Van sensing that I was tried, or some thing, decided that it was time to end the meeting and time for lunch.

Van

Van has changed, but yet he is the same. He has more confidence. He has grown taller and stronger. But his eyes, oh his eyes, those chocolate brown eyes are the same. I wonder if-

"Hear you are M'Lady" the servant girl said interrupting Hitomi's train of thought of the King.

Hitomi failed to notice that while she was reviewing all the day's events they had made it all the way to the dinning hall. Or rather the King's private dinning hall, which was more or less a mid-sized room next to the kitchens, lightly decorated with Fanelian items. He normally ate in the big dinning room with the rest of the castle staff, much to the protests of Sir Orden, the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Hitomi turned to thank the blond for her help and to ask her, her name but the blond had already disappeared.
