Van Fanel sat in his study trying to get some work done when he seen a white light shoot from the Mystic Moon, to Gaea and into the Fanelian forest.
Hitomi's back.
His raven black hair fell into his deep red-brown eyes as he jumped up, and ran out the door shouting orders as he went to get a room prepared, get his horse ready, and prepare a feast. His heart was hammering in excitement and he didn't slow down when the stable came in sight.
"Kiryu! I expect you have my horse ready?" he yelled to the stable boy.
"Yes your majesty," the young boy replied leading a beautiful Mustang out of the small shelter.
"Thank-you Kiryu."
Van stopped in front of the young boy with a smile and dug in his pocket. Kiryu's face lit up when Van pulled out gold coins.
"Well open your hand," Van said.
Kiryu nodded and did as he was told. Feeling a bit of surprise when Van dropped several coins into his rough, dirty, little hands instead of just one. He looked up at his king with a question in his eyes.
Van's answer was another smile as he rubbed the boy's brown hair vigorously making the wild locks even more wild so that it fell into his strange, but beautiful golden eyes.
"Your majesty can I really have these?"
"Of course you can. Those coins are yours to spend as you please."
Kiryu watched as his king gathered the reins of the dark brown mustang and hoisted himself up onto the animal's strong back.
"By the way Kiryu."
Kiryu blinked up at Van who was silhouetted in the Gaean sunset making the last rays of day cast a faint glow on his tanned skin and shine in his unruly black hair. Van looked every bit the king he was.
"Y…yes your majesty?" Kiryu finally replied once he got he'd gotten his voice back.
"Just call me Van. After all brothers are equal," Van said looking gently at the young boy standing beside his horse.
Kiryu gasped staring in amazement at Van.
"Truly?"
Van's eyes reflected his gentle smile as he nodded at the happy boy.
"Well then big brother I don't think that Lady Hitomi will like waiting much longer," Kiryu said, his young heart pounding in happiness.
"You are very right little brother. Take care until I come back."
With that Van gently kicked the horse's sides to make it run then tugged at the reins to make it go in the direction of the forest.
Hitomi I'm coming for you.
