6. Hitomi's History
Van and Hitomi were standing in darkness, still holding hands.
"You can open your eyes now," Kyria said.
"Where are we," Van asked.
"We're inside her mind," Kyria said behind them. They turned around to see her looking at them.
"This won't be easy. Your family line begins shortly after the Draconians came to Gaea. You ended up on Earth
when your Grandma went there to protect her unborn child, your mother. She went to Earth because this was during
the time when Draconians were being persecuted. To make you fully comprehend whet your Grandma went through,
I'll have to show you. But before I do I'm going to warn you. You will feel everything she feels, But there won't
be any lasting effects. You will feel pain, heat, hope, sadness, anger, and possibly other things."
Kyria then held up the energist, which was still in her hand. The energist began to glow, then it flashed.
When the light vanished, there was a scene playing in front of them like a movie.
The first scene showed a woman and a man standing in a forest clearing, hugging. When they pulled apart,
they could see that the woman was pregnant.
"It's getting too dangerous," the man said.
"I don't want to leave you," The woman pleaded brokenly.
(Hitomi recognized the woman's voice as her Grandmother's, Sandra.)
"It won't be long. Just until things calm down," The man whispered hugging her to him.
"And if they don't?"
"If things don't calm down, Then I want you to go to the Mystic Moon where you will be safe. Just don't
show your wings. It's for your own good. Promise me you'll go when I tell you to."
Sandra nodded. There were tears streaming down her beautiful face. They hugged once more. When their wings
came out Van and Hitomi saw that they both had the royal markings! They flew away. End scene one.
"Who were they," Van asked.
"The woman," Hitomi answered. "Was my Grandmother. I don't know the man. And why did their wings have markings?"
"The man was her mate. And no you wouldn't know him, he's dead. And they had the markings because they were
the King and Queen. Which makes you the princess." Here the second scene started.
It started out in a village at night. The village was quiet and peaceful. But then Van and Hitomi noticed
men creeping through the trees toward the village carrying torches. When they reached the village they started
yelling and throwing the torches through the windows. They watched as the houses started to burn. Suddenly Van
and Hitomi noticed a man and a woman emerge from a house and run toward the woods. The man was injured though and
couldn't run very fast. He stumbled, hit the ground and cried out. The men hearing the cry turned, started yelling
and ran towards them. The two seeing them spouted their wings and took flight, but the men shot arrows at them.
A couple hit the man's wings causing him to fall. He looked at the woman.
"Go," he yelled to her. "You promised! Go!"
He pointed to the Mystic Moon. The men were coming closer, so with tears pouring down her face, she nodded.
She turned around and flew over the trees. Then she dived, landed, and pulled in her wings. Then using her pendant
she called the pillar of light to take her to the Mystic Moon. The men didn't see the pillar, they were too busy
dragging the struggling man back to the fire. There was a final scream, then the scene vanished.
A stunned Van looked over at Hitomi, only to find her on her knees crying. Van knelt down and gathered her
into his arms. He rocked her back and forth until her crying slowed and eventually stopped. Kyria came over and knelt down.
"It was horrible," Hitomi whispered
Even though she had started crying she had watched the whole thing.
"I know," Kyria said softly. "But there's one more scene she needs to see."
"Does she have to see it now," Van asked, still holding a quivering Hitomi.
"Yes, It's better to get this over with rather than wait."
She then put her hand on Hitomi's head. A light emitted from her hand. Hitomi's quivering stopped and
she sighed. Van looked down at her and saw surprisingly that she looked back to normal. Kyria took her hand away and backed up.
"I've taken some of the pain away so you feel well enough to see more." With that the third and final scene started.
Hitomi recognized this one. She was five yrs. old at the time. Her mother and Grandmother were sitting
under a tree talking. Hitomi was playing in the yard.
"When do you think we should tell her the truth," Hitomi's mother asked.
"I think we should let her find out for herself. After she finds her wings, we'll tell her the truth.
But before that I'm going to give her my pendant she may need it. Somehow I know that she will find her way back
to Gaea, and that she's going to find her one true love," Sandra said thoughtfully.
"What if she doesn't find out the truth on her own?"
"If she hasn't discovered her wings by the time she's 16, we'll tell her."
Sandra called Hitomi over, and gave her the pendant. She told Hitomi to wear it every day, for one day
she would need it. The scene vanished.
Kyria looked over at Hitomi to see how she was holding up. Hitomi looked sad.
"I remember that day. Til' now I didn't know what they had talked about. But I always remembered that day
because it was the day I got my pendant."
She unconsciously put her hand over the spot where her
pendant would have been. Noticing this Van pulled her closer to him to comfort her.
"When you returned from Gaea the first time they decided to wait until just before you came back. On her
way to tell you, Sandra had a car accident and died. I can't do anymore. Finding your wings will be up to you.
Van can help you as I know he will," Kyria told them.
"I'm still finding it hard to believe that I'm a Draconian. Just like you," She said this last part to Van.
"Actually, you aren't just like him. Neither am I for that matter. It's true the two of you are half-bloods,
but you and I are more powerful than him. You still have hidden powers that haven't revealed themselves yet," Kyria said.
"Can you tell me what some of my new powers will be?"
"I can tell you a few. You will be able to use telepathy with other people not just Van. You'll also be
able to use telekineses, read minds by going into them and heal. To name a few. After your new powers reveal
themselves you'll have to learn to use them. Now I think it's time for us to go back. Hold hands and close your
eyes." They did as they were told and waited. "You can open your eyes now."
They opened their eyes and saw that they were back in Kyria's room.
