Inside the light, my consciousness fades. What a strange world, Gaea. A beautiful, sad world. Maybe one day I will come to this place again? Of course. Van. He and I will meet again. That's our wish. Wishes do come true. Please. Stars glittering in the sky, please grant my wish.
In the darkness, filled with starlight, I am flying away. The cold air stirs up my hair. Where is this place? I was supposed to be on the roof of the school. Then from the river of stars, came a vast blue light. Floating above us in the sky, is a big blue star. Earth? Yes... that's the Earth floating in the sky. Why? The white-winged man, with black hair swaying, his name is... Van. Me, being carried in Van's arms, dropping from the sky towards the Earth.
Escaflowne? What a strange sound. This strange world, is this my birthplace? My head is in turmoil. This kind of stuff, who would believe it? But, this world is beautiful. Spreading high in the sky, a countless sea of stars... such a beautiful night sky, it's the first time I've ever seen it. Pretty. Stretching out my hand, I can almost touch the light from the stars. Below the starry sky, underneath the blue Earth, kneeling, looking up to me is Van. His transparent eyes, staring at me as if they can see right through me. With bright black hair, and shining silver armor on one side. Leather hide wrapped around his hip. Bearing a sword with a Japanese blade. With the aura of an emperor, he looks at me. Van, that's his name.
