Disclaimers: I don't own Escaflowne it belongs to all the companys that own it, if I did own Escaflowne I wouldn't need this disclaimer now would I? Don't sue I'm just a middle school student the most you'll get is my computer and it's my computer ya hear mine!

Oh one more thing anything in italics indicates thought. My package finally got here, I guess that means no more attacking that poor UPS man..oh well. Ryo,the kids, Kasia,King Petrion and anyone other characters inadvertly introduced that are not in Escaflowne are mine and most likely I barrowed their names from the Master Harper of Pern Great book. >< ack spelling. I may have also taken some liberties with Gaea's geography or anything else for that matter to fit my intentions gomen minna-san or at least those who know better beacuse I have yet to see a map of all of Gaea on the net I could look at. I've finally gotten off my lazy ass and started typing here's the result.

Eyes in the darkness part 2 (lame, ne?)


In Basram~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

King Petrion looked at a map of Fanelia and the surrounding countries in disgust. The bomb that was Basram's pride and joy could not be used in Fanelia. They would have to use guymelefs because the bomb could not be recreated because the scientist and all records of the making of the bomb had dissappeared as soon as Basram's true intentions had been revealed. It had been easy to get the technology for the stealth cloaks from the still weak Ziabach country. King Petiron's sense of self satisfaction was cut short as he remembered Van and Hitomi's abilities; particularly Hitomi's. Damn Van and Hitomi can see through the stealth cloaks I will just have to kill or capture them first thought Petrion. Now the King had to decide wether to kill or capture the pair of young monarchs. Hmmm what a descion, killing them would be easy but their powers could be useful if they could be convinced to join Basram's cause. But if I capture one I practically have the other The last thought caused Petrion to smirk the couples devotion to each other was apparent one would probably do anything to save the other. Smiling he went back to his work to be interrupted by Kasia's entrance.

"Anything to report Kasia?"

"Nothing new, have you come up with a plan to take Fanelia?"

"Why yes I have, I've decided to try and capture the young pair of monarchs for their particular abilities may be of use."

"How do you propose to do that they can control the light colomn it would be easy for them to escape."

"Well then find a way so they can't Kasia and report back when you do"

"Yes sir"

At that Kasia left King Petrion to his thoughts as he worked on solving the new puzzle that had presented it self. Bastard who does he think he is one of these days he gonna get whats coming and I'm gonna laugh my ass off thought Kasia as she was walking down the empty halls of one of Basram's forts near the border of Fanelia. Sighing Kasia mounted the horse that stood waiting for her to ride back to Fanelia's castle, these trips were quite irritating they only got her in more trouble. Looking back one more time she kicked her mount into a gallop and headed toward Fanelia's palce to see what she could find.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hitomi sat in her and Van's room trying to understand her most recent vision, Fanelia and Basram had been at peace since the war and there were no visable signs or Basram forces mobilizing against Fanelia and they would know becasue the countries bordered each other. Puzzled Hitomi slipped out of the room quietly to go talk to Yukari while her kid was down for her afternoon nap. Sighing Hitomi knocked quietly on Yukari's door in an attempt to not wake the baby. Slowly Yukari opened the door and stepped out and started close the door behind her but just far enough to only leave it cracked.

"Yes Hitomi is there something you wanted?"

"I just need to talk to someone, Van, Merle, and Ryo are all out doing various things and you're the only one besides Van I can really talk to about anything."

"Well so what's bothering you"

"My visions mainly and I've been having a different one lately"

"What's the other one about then?"

"I can see a Basram guymelef coming over a hill while I'm in the garden, then one of the court ladies...I think her name is Kasia runs toward me and tries to tell me something that I can't hear. It ends there but I just can't figure it out. Do you have any ideas Yukari because as much as I try to dismiss it as nothing important I have this haunting feeling that I need to understand what it means.

"Well I'm just as clueless as you ask Van when he comes back he would probably understand it better, I 'm sorry I couldn't help you."

"That's alright Yukari I'll see you later"

"Okay Hitomi" at this Yukari slipped silently back into her and Amano's room to watch the baby while Amano was learning how to use a sword.(A/N gomen couldn't help myself there)

Hitomi slowly walked down the hall that led to the melef hanger where she would most likely find Van. Peeking into the vast storehouse she was rewarded by seeing Van instructing some men on the care of the guymelefs and how they should be kept battle ready fpr they may be needed at any time. Walking over to Van Hitomi tapped him on the sholder gently watching him spin around to see who would dare interrupt his work. Seeing Hitomi his expression softened as he started to ask her what she was doing here.

"Hitomi what are you doing here?"

"I had another vision that I need to talk to you about"

"Another one, well let's go to the garden"

"Okay"

The pair of monarchs started off in the direction of the garden where they knew they could talk privately without interruption.

Welphers that seemed like a good place to stop so I did. I haven't decided what exactly is going to happen so I need some ideas. Before I go one more thing..*does bambi eyes* please please review I really need reviews to movate me to write I just want a few good reviews, I'd even take a flame I wouldn't be happy but I'd have a lot fun repling to it. Ja Ne!
