      Looking into the night skies, a lone figure sat alone, gazing at the stars above. Of all the citizen and people living in El Hazard, he stood out wherever he went. It might have been his clothing but truthfully it was the look in his eyes and the aura that he seems to eminate, one of deep hidden powers. Few knew or would believe that this strange individual was from another world, one so unlike that which surrounded him, a world filled with its own wonders. A world that held his love, Ifurita. So deep in thought that he did not sense the person slowly approaching his present location.

      The look on the stranger's face could only be described as sorrow. Approaching the only person that could truly understand her, she stopped just short of the person in question. A slight breeze sweeped past them as one stood and one sat upon the hill over looking the kingdom of Roshtaria.

      Hearing the flutter of fabric, Makoto turned to see who had decided to grace him with their presence and was surprised at his visitor. Nodding his head, in a gesture of acknowledgement, he returned to his thoughts.

      "Strange how fate can be so cruel at times," the strange woman finally spoke.

      Had it been anyone else, Makoto would had dismissed it but coming from this particular individual, he could tell that they were alike. Both had love ones torn from their lives. One by time the other by a nation and a unknown past. Thinking for a moment, Makoto patted the earth next to him, for right now, he did not want to be alone.

      Feeling the same impulse, Princess Rune Venus smiled at the young man's invitation and sat down next to him. Smiling, Rune Venus thought of how similar they both were. They both had lost their loved ones, they were from different worlds in many senses and yet they still strive to make the world a better place in their own ways. As the sun started to set, she looked at the young man besides her, "Please call me Rune from now on Makoto."

      Looking at the princ...girl beside him, he smiled and gathered her beside him as they both watched the sun set.

The End?
