Chrono Crusade Fan Fiction ❯ A Contract ❯ Prologue ( Prologue )

A Contract

Prologue

By Selenity Jade

Rated: M

 

Disclaimer: I don't own Chrno Crusade nor am I making money off of this. If I was do you think I'd be posting it up on fanfiction sites?

 

Pairing: Chrno/Rosette

 

AN: This is a great anime and an even better manga. I've watched the anime and read the manga recently and I absolutely adored it. If you haven't seen or read it, you should. Anyone who's seen my normal fandoms will sincerely enjoy it. Of course, as it is written by a guy (if I remember correctly) it isn't as romantic as I'd like but the romance is there just enough to spawn my fanfiction urge. I spell it Chrno, despite the fact that was originally a typo in the manga, just because that's how it's spelled on the title. Though it is pronounced "Chrono".

 

This is an AU, a type of 'what if'. You'll see what type of if immediately. It will follow the manga mostly in certain events, there are a few things from the anime I might take, and keep in mind a lot in the manga/anime was never explained. You never find out about why Rosette kept having dreams about Chrno biting her, why Magdalen said blood was needed, how exactly a contract is forged, why Chrno could pick up Rosette's imagery in her mind sometimes, and why a demon and Remington had a full telepathic conversation. You never get the low and dirty on specifics, so this manga just seems to call me to write fanfiction because of it. Keep in mind this is my own interpretation of certain 'facts' present that were never explained, and while I have read and watched the anime and manga, I'm doing this from memory and it is an AU so certain truths might be twisted. So all you purists should leave now. ^_^

 

Enjoy!

He knew the moment the seal was broken. He knew because he snapped back into awareness immediately. He began to feel again. He had been simply existing for such a long time, aware of nothing, not even his thoughts, just the passage of time. He had been both aware and yet not as he lay dormant in a place between worlds his consciousness had fled to after his body and soul were sealed. A place he felt nothing, thought nothing. A place of blank peace.

 

Then something jolted him into sudden awareness with something akin to pain at the sudden sensory overload after so long.

 

He knew the seal that had been set over this tomb to keep him here was broken. Before his sluggish thoughts could process that, light spilled into the room followed by the scraping sound of stone on stone as the monolithic doors were pushed open. He opened his heavy eyes slowly, squinting at the painful light.

 

It was then he realized he could move.

 

He lifted his head heavily to look towards the entrance, his unused muscles protesting painfully at the movement after what must have been years of disuse. His blurry sight picked up the shadowy stranger standing in the doorway, the fall of the brilliant light stealing true sight of the person who had dared to break his seal.

 

"Time to wake up, Chrno."

 

Frowning at the sound of a name he had almost forgotten, the one who was once sealed pushed himself up enough to kneel beside the large stone sarcophagus he had been leaning against. "Who?" he croaked out, voice husky and broken from lack of speech.

 

The figure stepped further into the tomb in answer.

 

The one called Chrno knew the blond man standing before him. It was he who sealed him here. "Remington."

AN: Well. I had to end it somewhere and it's not supposed to be a CHAPTER, it's a prologue. I have the first chapter already ended, so I will post it up right after this, I promise.

 

Fic of the Week: Since this is one of the stories I've written since my break, I figure I'd go back to how I used to once in awhile plug another story I liked. ^_^; So I'll stick to the category I'm writing in here and plug "Sacred" by Vitani FyreWolf (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2171981/1/Sacred). It's a nice read. ^_^

 

Lovies!
