Chapter I: Blizzard of Miracles

----------------------------------------------------------

The city of Tokyo was in its normal nighttime hustle and bustle. The lights shone brightly as people went their way. Small time cart sellers waved their products to the passing by people. Women stood on street corners, flaunting themselves for a good buy. Business employees driving their fancy black cars talking about stocks on Nokia cell phones. Today was normal to most but it would change the lives of a few people.

Hitomi walked down the street with her co-worker Nakami Takahara. She was nervously flipping in her agenda folder. "Crap! I think I was supposed to meet Muu-san at the office tonight! This could cost the company millions of dollars! Damn!" said Hitomi as she traced her thumb down the page. " And you know that no matter how much the boss wants you, he won't let this slide off like last time. What are you going to do Hitomi?" asked Nakami as she fetched out her keys from her suitcase. "I don't know! No matter what, I won't sleep with him for my job, I'm not like Wasaki-san!" she said as she and Nakami crossed the street. "I'm surprised that Wasaki isn't pregnant yet!"

They walked to Nakami's car and got in. They drove down the jammed street talking about gossip and financial companies when they got to the apartment buildings they lived in. Nakami decided to sleep over at Hitomi's house. They dropped off their suitcases and took of their shoes at the door. Hitomi, with her friend's help, dragged out two sleeping bags and positioned them next to each other in the family room.

Hitomi looked up at the portrait hanging over her fireplace. A young man with raven black unruly hair that gave him a natural look. His deep burgundy eyes stared in a strong yet gentle gaze as he stood proud wearing khaki pants and a loose red shirt that evoked the imagination. A sword with a blue hilt and a red crest set in it was held like a samurai's, stuck into the dirt. She looked up at the face and sighed. 'Why do I love him so? After so long?' she thought.

Nakami looked at her friend. She always would catch her gazing lovingly at the painting and talking to it as if it were a real person. Everyone at the office thought she was crazy, calling out supposedly the man in the picture's name. They never dared to ask her about it for fear she might snap but Nakami was sure she was sane. "Hitomi? Who is that?" she asked. "My love." she said simply, not taking her eyes off of the painting. "Who is he Hitomi?" she asked again. Hitomi turned around and walked to the sofa and sat down on it.

"What I'm going to tell you is the truth. I haven't told anyone this story for seven years cause no one believes me. Well, eight years ago, I was running the track for my once crush Amano when a column of blue light came down in front of me with a boy about my age dressed in armor. No one could understand what he was saying but me. He said that a dragon was coming and sure enough it came. If it weren't for me warning him, he would have been killed. I was soon swept back up in the light with him to another world. A world called Gaea." started Hitomi. "So let me get this straight, you were running when a boy and a dragon came and fought and you were swept up to a world called guy-uh with this same boy?" asked Nakami.

"It's called Gaea. Well, I met many other people along the way and learned that the boy was a king of the country of Fanellia. I ended up having a crush on a knight but in the end, I realized I loved the boy." "Then why are you here? Why aren't you at Gaea with the king?" she asked. Hitomi's eyes became sad. "I couldn't stay at Gaea back then, I still loved the Earth. Now I know that that was the biggest mistake of my life. I could never be able to go back now, he has the key of everything to get back and he would never take me back, he would feel too guilty." she said as her vision began to blur.

"Did you paint this picture yourself? It's really good. What's this? He has wings?" asked Nakami, as she looked closer at the painting. "Yes I painted it, it took me a year to get it right. He was born with them but they don't always show. Why? I never told you he was a Draconian." asked Hitomi as she stood next to her. "Look Hitomi, they're glowing!" she said as she pointed nervously. "Oh my God!!! I never painted those? What's happening?"

Hitomi touched the glowing wings and white feathers flew out of the painting, like blizzard snow coming in from an open window. It created a whirlwind around them as they screamed. Hitomi clung onto the picture as Nakami held onto her. Suddenly a blue column of light came down. They began to float up. "Oh Hitomi! We're going to hit the ceiling!" screamed Nakami as she tried to reach out to grab something to hold her down. All she grabbed was their overnight bags. She screamed as they quickly passed through the ceiling, the roof and then up into the sky. People all around Tokyo pointed at the blue light and fell to their knees in awe.
