Disclaimer I dont own Tenchi or any of the characters (except Aoten), some other people do, but I dont. Dont plagarise without asking AND waiting for a response. Aoten is mine, as far as Im aware, if you ask nice though you can use him. (If you would want to for some reason) Tenchi Muyo: A Story Of The Chosen The young man sat alone on the wooded hillside. The height of his vantage point was causing a stiff, icy breeze to swirl around him caressing his clothes, barely ruffling his close cropped hair. He paid them no heed; he was doing what he had always done. He was waiting. The hissing sound of pine needles in motion increased. Barely perceptibly the boy stiffened, aware of what was to come as it had so many times before. "Aoten." The hissing needles formed themselves into a voice, a whisper, so subtle that Aoten had to use all his concentration to discern it from the other sounds of the living forest. "Yes my Lord?" "You have felt it?" whispered the disembodied entity. "Yes my Lord." "Are you prepared for this?" Questioning, faint hint of challenge. "It may pose an interesting challenge." "..." "Come my child, you can hide nothing from me." Now more compassionate. "I am not it's equal" Calm voiced despite the bitterness that was engulfing his soul. *I cannot fail my master.* A chuckling sound came from the trees. "I have told you, I am a father not a master, to all, not simply yourself." Silence descended for a few moments as if the voice was lost in contemplation. "My son?" the voice said. "I am here, my Lord." "It is time." "I know, I have felt it." "This is why you were chosen, the purpose I always envisaged for you. It is time to go back." "What do I seek?" "That you must discover for yourself, the thing you have yet to find, the completion of your power." "Then I will be strong enough?" "It is time to go back." "I understand my lord. I obey." "Are you prepared?" Aoten stood and gave an almost imperceptible nod. "Go in peace my child." A faint aura of light appeared at his feet, and rose quickly. Once his body was fully engulfed his being began to fade. At the final moment, he screamed, an inhuman, animalistic sound. And he was gone, flowing through the Ether that binds life together, towards his destination. His origin, a planet called Earth. Notes: Well, this is my first fan fiction; although this is just an introduction, so don't worry about the lack of Tenchi characters. In the next instalment they'll be there, I'll be using a mixture of timelines, as I would rather alter them to fit my story than the other way around. Send ANY comments to Snypa338@hotmail.com. I take criticism gladly, as long as it's constructive and you make it clear what you're talking about. Any mail along the lines of "Your fic is fucking shit" will be deleted, (unless you can prove it). Having said that I wouldn't mind some praise if anyone thinks I deserve it. Thanks for your time. Ps, this is NOT a SI fic so please don't think it is.
