Dreams of Atlantis Part 1 (Ashara)
It's been 3 years since Hitomi left Gaia. It is August on earth and the holidays are drawing to a close. Yukari and Hitomi travel a lot together, as they do today. Yukari has been looking forward to Amano's return for weeks (he has spent the last 2 years abroad to take part in competitions. But he is now coming back to graduate from his old school.) And keeps telling this, so that Hitomi can no longer hear the chatter. Hitomi: ,, Yukari, I know that Amano will be back on Sunday and I also know that you are just as happy as I am. But can't we talk about something else now? For example when we go swimming tomorrow! is it convenient for you at 10 a.m. tomorrow morning? "Yukari:" OK, OK. I'm already quiet! 10 o'clock is okay and I'll pick you up too. But Kaiko stays at home! Little brothers just disturb. "Yukari looks at her friend from the side.When this confirms everything, Yukari sighs and continues: “Oh Hotomi, why can't you laugh at a friend too? There are enough volunteers. You just have to say who you want. Then you might not always have such a sad expression on your face. "Yes, Yukari, I know. After all, you always preach the same to me. Just because I'm already 18 and don't have a boyfriend yet. But you also know that I don't want a boyfriend! And with that Basta! ! See you tomorrow! "Hitomi runs to her bus and leaves a rather confused Yukari behind. She just sighs and thinks. “What's the matter with you Hitomi. Don't want to or can't you fall in love? Why don't you tell me "Meanwhile, the friend has reached the bus and gets on. She sits down in a free seat and thinks back on the conversation from earlier. She knows that Yukari is right. She must finally forget Van! So she reminds herself, as so often this topic: ,, Hitomi it doesn’t help to mourn a love that lives behind the moon.You are here, even if you are sorry now, but you mustn't forget your future either! "Nevertheless, she knows that this admonition would not help. Then she struggles to tell Yukari everything tomorrow, because she wants Yukari to understand her. At home, Hitomi makes her dinner and goes to her room with it. There she goes to the clawing and sees that there are only 10 days left until school starts and she is in 13. When she turns around, she happens to look in her mirror and immediately wonders what Van would think of her Still grown a good bit to 1.73m and looks very feminine on the whole. When she catches herself thinking about these thoughts, she immediately pushes them aside and takes her book (A novel about the myth of Atlantis) to read a little She starts to eat. Around 11 am she goes to sleep and of course immediately starts dreaming about Van.
The same evening in Farnelia.Van is still sitting in his apartment after a busy day. In his study to be precise, since he still has a lot of paperwork to do. He's just finished with the last order form for heating oil when a loud "My Van" announces his girlfriend, advisor and as good as sister. He just manages to turn around until the now 17-year-old, long-haired cat lady is around his neck Unfortunately, this happy greeting is followed by one of Merle's rare sermons. Merle: "You shouldn't work so late! Why don't you do something else? And don't come with me," But Merle, I'm the king. "You hardly sleep any more and if you sleep, then only for two reasons. First, you are so tired that you can no longer keep your eyes open. Or second: Because I'm putting you in bed. I know that you don't sleep well because you always have dreams about Hitomi or some indefinable nightmares where you scream half the castle.But you also mustn't tip over from exhaustion at some point. Because that's going to happen soon. Please Van! Get off tomorrow and go for a ride or do whatever, but relax again and then try to sleep! Please. "" I know that you are right, but when I have free time, I think of Hitomi and that basically leads to self-reproach because I let her go. And then I get sad and then I am like you even recently you said nothing more to do with me. "Van sighs loudly and continues," Well, I'll stop for today and go to sleep. I'm just finished anyway. Good night Merle. "Merle takes the hint and says goodbye. On the way she thinks: Damn it, without Hitomi my van will eventually lose its zest for life." Meanwhile, Van sits on the sill of his open window. He is reflected in the window. Van has changed too. He is almost 6 feet tall, but still has his messy hairstyle.But you can see his loneliness and tiredness in his eyes. He lays his head on the window frame and looks up at the moon of illusions. He thinks: “Oh Hitomi, if only I could get you back. But I don't know how Would you even want to get away from your family and friends? "Lost in thought and dreaming of the future, he finally falls asleep and begins to dream. In his dream he meets his mother Varie, who advises him to visit Hitomi on earth. When Van asks her how to do this, Varie points with her hand Hitomi`s pendulum that has been hanging on Van`s neck without interruption since she left, saying: You know, my son, that the pendant can make dreams come true if you want it hard enough and believe in his power and You trust. But if you are on the moon of illusions you have to go to Maronstr. 25. There lives someone you know and whom you should trust. This person will understand you and help you.If you can trust, everything will be fine. Good luck Van and good night my little son. With that, Varie disappears. But Van continues to sleep, but he has left a happy smile on Van`s face.
The next morning, Merle finds Van still asleep on the windowsill. She smiles and sits down in one of the comfortable armchairs in Van's room. When Van wakes up half an hour later, Merle asks him: “Well, did you sleep well today? It looks suspiciously like that. "Van agrees and then tells her about his dream. Merle is surprised at first, but then puts on a thoughtful expression and says:" We'll see you soon at breakfast. See you soon. "With that she disappears like a whirlwind through the door . Outside, she bumps into Mikahil, one of the Dragon Guard. The other kingdoms believe that the Dragon Guard is just Van's bodyguard, but the truth is that all 24 members belong to the Dragon Gods people.(This also applies to their families) Mikahil of course asks Merle immediately why she is so deep in thought and suspects that the king is not doing so well again. Merle denies this and disappears with a: "Have a look yourself!" In the direction of her room. Mikahil just shakes his head, but Merle's comment made him curious. So he knocks and steps when he receives the cheerful request When he is greeted in the room by a: "Good morning Mikahil" he is so surprised that he only gets one: "Your Majesty!". "But Mikahil, you know that you all name me should speak up unless there is something official going on. So what's wrong? You look just like Merle 5 minutes ago. " replies Van, who knows very well what Mikahil and Merle have. After all, it had been a while since he was last in a good mood. “Nothing Van I was just surprised. "They both look at each other and start laughing out loud.Van about Mikahil`s face and this about his own reaction. Then Mikahil makes the reports he came for. “So Damon came back from Freid tonight and has a confirmation from the Duke with him. He will send all of our people to Farnelia tomorrow. A security team has also reported because the Crusador was seen at the border about half an hour ago. The inmates are probably the Princess Milerna with her husband and Allen Schezar. So do you have any instructions? "Van sends two servants who are standing in front of the door to prepare rooms for the guests. Then Mikahil and Van go to the dining room to have breakfast, since it is already 8:45 am. Hitomi wakes up at 8 am on earth : 30 am a little rudely from the shrill of her alarm clock. She gets up and makes herself breakfast. During the meal, she packs her things for the outdoor pool. Then she waits for Yukari, who is at the door shortly before 10 am on the dot .On the way to the outdoor pool, Hitomi made her resolution from yesterday true and said to her friend: "Yukari, I have to tell you something afterwards at the outdoor pool. Please don't say anything now. I don't know how to tell you myself yet, so please wait. "OK, if you say so, I'll wait. But I'll tell you if it's not interesting I'm angry. Just announce something to me and then let me fidget. That's mean !!!" The two of them go to the pool Girls first take a long swim. At 12 o'clock they have lunch. Hitomi starts talking while eating. She starts by asking Yukari: “Do you remember 3 years ago when Amano wanted to go abroad. I tried to set a record over 100m. You were also there when ... "" Do you mean when this monster, or dragon, appeared? Together with this boy? After that you were suddenly gone !! " Yukari yells suddenly. ,,Yes, that is exactly what I mean. Then the following happened: I landed on Gaia with Van, the boy.And then ... "Hitomi tells the whole story and ends with: ,, ... and now I love Van and I want to go back, but since I gave Van the necklace, it doesn't work. And because I want to love Van I have no other friend. "Hitomi hangs her head sadly. Yukari, who has been listening in silence so far, is confused, but she believes her friend and understands her. "Oh Hitomi, I believe you, but it doesn't help if you hang your head. Come on let's go swimming again. That distracts you. Then we go to me and then we'll find a way. My mother always says in a different context: "Distances are only an obstacle if we make them one." But I think that it fits here too. So go ahead. Whoever gets in the water first. "With that, both of them jump up and start running. they spend a nice day together and are busy making plans to get Hitomi to Gaia.
When Van and Mikahil arrive, only the exhausted Damon and his second advisor Gabriel are sitting in the
