Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Steps Through Eternity ❯ First Steps beyond ( Prologue )

[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]
Author note: Hello minna-san. This is my first venture into the world of fan fiction.
I hope you all will enjoy this fic. Please feel free to review and comment this Chapter.
The premise of this story is base on the fairytale of Turandot. I love the beautiful tale of Turandot, and I love Gundam Wing, especially 2x1x2, so I got this idea to write an M/M or yaoi version of Turandot, and do a fusion crossover between the two universes.
I hope fans of Turandot and 2x1x2 will not be angry with me for writing this version. It is only for fun and I am not writing this fanfiction for the purpose of making money. Please do not copy or steal this fan fiction, or else face the wrath of yours truly.
Be aware that I will not follow the storyline line of Turandot to the T; this will only be a very loosely base fusion of the fairytale, so expect many changes woven into the plotlines.
Thanks for reading and please review before you leave. Any type of constructive comments and review will be greatly appreciated.
Disclaimer: Gundam Wing and its characters belongs to its respective studios, producers, and directors, creators, like: Studio Sunrise, Bandai Entertainment, Masashi Ikeda, katsuyuki Sumizawa, Akemi Omode, Katsuhiko chiba, and Tv Asahi. I hope this disclaimer covers everything, if not, please inform me, and I will modified it.

Prologue







The forest was too dark to navigate


However, she has little options




Its either face death, or run
Running is better than death, and she will run, as far as she can, even if she has to find her way through the shadows around her





She only has to reach the Gate before the first break of dawn




Then everything will be right, every wrong will be right, and her pain will go away




She is bleeding; she can feel the skin of her feet is badly injured




Running bare feet in the middle of the night is a bad idea




Just like those troublesome dogs, they are annoyingly persistent
Her strength is running out fast, but she cannot stop now; it would mean certain death,




Not only death for her, but also death for her baby, and that is something that cannot happen




Her chest feels tight, and it is hard to breathe properly the further she runs




Despite her body conditions warning her to slow down, she could not afford to rest even for a second




She must reach her destination before it is too late
So much is at stake for her to stop now



An eerie howls suddenly shatters the silence of the forest



She almost stumbles and falls down on her ass



Stupid dogs, always buts in where they are not wanted



Her dark cobalt eyes wildly roam the tree lines for the hulking forms of her pursuers, her shaking arms clutching tightly to her precious bundle, exhaustion and fear freezing her movements
They have been tracking her relentlessly since hours ago; it is only thanks to her own supernatural senses warning her of their deadly presences that she manages to evade them



However, this game of hunter and prey could not last much longer; she knew that her reserves of powers are down to its last quantities



Her only hope is to reach the Gate before those dogs reach her
Sensing their dark aura getting nearer by the seconds, she cannot afford to stop now


Exhaustion ate at her strength


Fear wraps its fingers around her heart



Her cobalt eyes stares up and down the shadowy trail that made up the rough terrain leading up towards the sacred Glade of the Holy Gate


She could hear it beckons her urgently


Calling and guiding her amidst the darkness

“What is your wish my Child?”

The Great Spirit demanded payment

“A life for a life”

It is a fair trade for the safety of her baby


“Give me your power, your soul”


Its adequate payment to ensure her baby will be safe from the clutches of those who wanted him dead


“And I promise that your son will be under my protection”
Those bastards will never get her baby

“Beware; they are near, so near”

She staggers like a drunkard into the wide silver circle of the Glade

“Do you accept?”

Her arms trembles with the effort to hold on

Yes, she will accept, there is no other way

“Very well, the contract will be sealed”


It is like in a dream, watching her baby tiny form floating high above the silver arch of the Holy Gate
Glowing silver mist swirls around his small body, his beautiful innocent feature serene in his sleep
Unaware of the danger that stalks him, and the heartbreak that he will leave in his wake


She feels the Great Spirit gently pulling her life force, unraveling the last tread that holds her essence,
Merging and blending into one with the tremendous powers of the Gate


It is all happening like a dream
The image of her baby fading away


The last thought that she has was that she hopes Odin will forgive her


++++++++++++++++++

The great hulking black forms of the blood demons finally emerge into the silver glade that housed the tall imposing silver structure of the holy Gate of Araishar.

Its incredible power singes the place and making it hard for these demonic dogs to get near it. They can smell the scent of their prey here, and know that this time they have lost the hunt.

Their masters are not going to be please…
