Author's note: I am not gonna be all like "Oh nobody's ever done this before!" , because they have, and I'm not a liar. And most of the time it all goes to shit. If it does I'm not gonna deny it. But I'm not gonna give up either. So first try at a fanfiction with my favorite an Original Character here and there. Actually, the focus of the whole fic is a character I'm making a manga or book of one day. And now the fun part.
I DO NOT OWN CODE GEASS OR ANY CODE GEASS CHARACTER. I DO HOWEVER, I DO OWN DRAX RAVENKNIGHT AND IF YOU DARE USE HIM IN ANYTHING WITHOUT MY PERMISSION, AND I FIND OUT ABOUT IT, I WILL RAIN DOWN MY WRATH UPON YOU.
Are we clear? Good.

Chapter 1: Enter the Raven
"What am I doing?" I said aloud, whilst running through the alleys of Shinjuku Ghetto.
You know exactly what you're doing, boy. Says the persistent voice in my brain.
"Quit complaining, I need to find her." She is all I have left in this world. My country's gone, my family is dead.
No you don't. Just give up. You've been searching for her long enough. If we keep this up we'll be captured by Clovis' lackeys.
"Hmph."
Don't you ignore me!
"Aaah!"
My skull felt like it was on fire! I haven't felt this in years! What's happening to me?
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD D DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Suddenly, I was back home, worry free. My lithe, black-haired, brother was training as usual. Of course he was, he desired to be the one chosen by our god, the one to save us all. And he deserved it. I, however, couldn't even cast a healing spell right. Whatever, I don't want OniShi anyway. I love my spirit wakizashis.
"Hey, Onii-chan!" Even though he was older I was still a good inch above him.
"What do you need, Drax?" His blue eyes meeting my gray ones.
"I am going to go practice my battle techniques."
"Brother, you know you are best at those, you should really practice more healing ones."
"Are you coming with me or not?"
"Fine, but you will regret it one day."
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
When we reached the target practice area, I conjured my favorite long ranged battle magic spell, black fire. Water can't put it out, and It only stops burning if I want it to. I began to obliterate targets instantly. My brother isn't nearly as proficient with battle magic as I am, but no one cares about that. It's only "Your brother is a prodigy" or "Healers are what we need, not blasted pyromaniacs.", but the worst one is "He is four years older than you, so accept it." Or, "Are you even related? Your hair is silver."
"Drax, spar with me, hand to hand." Andrew blurted out, suddenly.
"Why? I put you in the infirmary last time."
"We will see who wins this time."
We then stood opposite of each other and bowed. As soon as we finished, he charged. He always has been impatient. But, instead of attacking head-on, he ducked and elbowed me in the gut. I recoiled. Damn! I did not expect him to improve so much! I somersaulted back and did a spinning back kick. It connected with his face, knocking him back. He's been training! Well, let me finish it. I somersaulted backwards while kicking him in the face on my way up. He fell out of the ring.
"You were surprisingly difficult to defeat."
Andrew glowered at me, then said,
"Well, see you tomorrow at the choosing."
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
The next day, we all lined up in the great hall, oldest to youngest. The task was simple, summon your spirit weapon, if it appeared, you were not chosen, but if OniShi appeared, you would be taken to the inner sanctum where the king would tell you what you are to do next. So one after another, the men summoned their weapons, with no success. There weren't any women. The prophecy said "A man of the RavenKnight clan shall be chosen by our god three years from today; he will be the savior of our race, and the only survivor of a catastrophe.". They reached my brother, everyone held their breath, but, when he flexed his hands, his Katana appeared. He looked distraught, his dreams crushed.
"Drax! Proceed with the ritual!"
"But Father!"
"Do it!"
For a moment i had forgotten that I was a prince. I was preparing to do as commanded, but I hesitated. There were only five left to try. I wasn't as worthy as my brother, but I had a better chance. Why? Wasn't he goo-
"DRAX!"
Without thinking, I flexed my hands outward, than inward, but instead of my wakizashis, I held a red-bladed scythe with blood veins just beneath it's clear staff.
Are you ready to accept a contract with me?
"What are you talking about?" I do not even want you!
We will discuss it later.
"My youngest son, Prince Drax Ardeuil RavenKnight has been chosen!"
All of the citizens present bowed to me, except my brother, who ran out of the door.
"Onii-chan!"
"Give him time son."
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
The guards led me to my father's inner sanctum, where I was told to sit down. I waited for what seemed like an eternity, only wanting to escape this nightmare, to wake up and see Andrew holding OniShi, not me.
He was not worth my time.
Great, now it is dogging my thoughts.
I am not "dogging your thoughts", I can't help but hear them, you cannot conceal them from me, since I am now a part of you.
What! Get out of my head!
Negative. You can ask me nicely.
"Drax."
"Yes Father?"
"I will only say this once. Go fifteen kilometers to the west, you will find ruins of an old clan. Go into their underground chambers, do not reveal to anyone what you find."
"Yes father."
"Now go! I will pray for your safe return.
So, I set off.A while later I realized that it was starting to get dark, maybe I should rest for the day.
Yes, you should, you will need all of your strength for tomorrow.
Alright, then, I guess that's settled. And I drifted off to sleep in a nearby tree.
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
After seemingly endless hours of walking, I finally made it. A huge, crumbling city was centered in a dense forest. There was a cave near the entrance.
Are you ready?
"No."
Good, let's go.
This thing is rude. So I traveled through tunnels of varying sizes and shapes until finally, he reached what looked like a large stone door with a giant, red, bird sigil on it.
Place your hand on the "door", as you call it.
Well, what should i call it?
It is the thought elevator.
I don't want to touch it anymore.
Are you a child? Be brave!
Alright! Geez.
As soon as I placed my hand on the thought elevator I regretted it. There was a flash of color and I was standing atop a floating stone platform.
"What the hell!"
"Why are you so upset?"
I turned around and a priestess was there, with a warm, but suspicious smile.
"Who are you!?"
"I am the one who will oversee your deal with OniShi."
"What?"
"It seems to me, that you have a reason for living..."
OniShi's voice emanated from all sides.
"Usually, when a contract is made we offer the power of the king, but for you, and only you do we offer the power of the gods. You will live in a different world, a different place, a different time. This power will bring you solitude even greater than those with the powers of the king have. But do not despair, for you forever have me. In return for this power, you must make my one wish come true."
For my father, my brother, and all who believe in me. I must save the RavenKnights. I must accept!
"Very well! I accept the terms of your contact!"
Once again, light flowed into my eyes, but then, all was black. I awoke in the tree I had stopped to sleep in. Was that all a dream?
No.
Now, I knew my life would never be the same.
"Best get to it then..."
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD D
First chapter complete! Feel free to review however harshly you may want!
P.S. Yes the "K" in "RavenKnight" is supposed to be capitalized. That's the way I dreamt it up and that's the way it's going to stay. Nothing personal.
