This is the story of Hitomi Kanzaki's unexpected
journey to the other-dimensional world of Gaea, a place where the Earth
and the Moon hang in the sky. Unintentionally brought there by Van Fanel,
the young king of a ravaged kingdom, Hitomi is thrown into the middle of
Van's battle against a devestating enemy. An enemy that wants to save the
people of Gaea from themselves, and will destroy anyone who gets in their
way to do it. Hitomi and Van are accompanied by the handsome knight of the
high skys, Allen Schezar, the beautiful and independent Princess Millerna
Aston, and Van's devoted companion (and Hitomi's greatest irritant), the
cat-girl Merle. During their journey, they meet many other fascinating people
from whom they receive, sometimes unexpected, assistance. Hitomi, Van and
their comrades try to keep one step ahead of the treacherous Zaibach Empire
and prevent them from gaining control of Escaflowne, the legendary defender
of Van's people. Struggling through one battle after another, while at the
same time, dealing with their own personal demons. Forced to confront harsh
truths about the people and ways of life they thought they could believe
in, faced with the consequences of choices made in the past, and trying
to cope with their own, somtimes confusing, emotions, they search for a
way to defeat the Zaibach forces. None of them realizing, just how much
impact those other, seemingly less important conflicts will have on the
outcome of the war they are fighting.
