Notes: This is an AU, specifically where Johan's background and parts of season three and four of GX are concerned.
Summary: We know next to nothing about Johan's past. There is a great deal that he isn't telling anyone, and it has to do with Juudai and a mission Johan was born to accomplish.
Johan wrapped his arms around himself and tried not to cry. He was a big boy and he wasn't going to cry. He was supposed to be in bed at home with his family, not in this cold castle, his bare feet freezing, with a horrible skeleton wearing a tattered old robe staring at him. He still wasn't going to cry.
"What is your name, child?" The monster prodded him with a bony finger and Johan smacked at it.
"Don't touch me!" Johan liked monsters that were eagles or dragons or cats, not skeletons.
The skeleton's hand came down on his shoulder with a firm grip. "Answer me, boy." His grip tightened until tears sprang into Johan's eyes.
"J…Johan!" He tried to get away, but the skeleton was a lot stronger than he was. "Johan Andersen!"
"Johan." His name sounded horrible coming from this creature. Johan wanted to smack it off his tongue. "Johan, I am Brron. You, however, will call me father."
What? No! Johan shook his head at once. "You're not my daddy!" His daddy had skin! And muscles and hair!
Before Johan could fight or move, one of the monsters wrenched his jaws open and poured something thick and disgusting down his throat. His stomach churned and burned and his head spun in a quick and dazed circle. He looked up, confused, at the monster before him. He trembled; where was he? Who was he? Nothing made sense.
"I am Brron. But you will call me father." It was the bony monster in front of him.
"Father?" He repeated the word and received a firm, approving nod. So, this was his father. "What's my name?"
Brron touched his face and Johan wondered why he would flinch from his father. "Your name is Johan, Prince of Dark World."
The End
