Summary: Esther and Ion didn't think they could be together because of their obvious difference, but what if Esther was a Methuselah that they knew of from the beginning? Now years later, they recall the events that brought them together. This will have no tie to the series.
Introduction
"Esther?" Ion questioned, his hair was now waist long and he had gained the build of a muscular man in his early twenties. His ruby red eyes were the same as always, but his features had lost their child-like quality. His voice had also lost its boy-ish sound, while still maintaining a gentle edge to it.
"Yes?" Esther responded turning her azure gaze to her companion. Time had not changed Esther very much. She still kept her hair in the same style it has always been, but her eyes held more wisdom than the innocence usually portrayed. The angles of her face had sharpened ever so slightly, making her appearance all the more matured.
"How long has it been?" Ion asked her as they stopped along a street they had been walking down. Esther smiled that smile a girl has when she is keeping a secret. Turning fully to face Ion, Esther took one of his hands in hers.
"Long enough to look back on all we went through and be able to smile about it…" Esther said quietly. Ion gave her hand a gentle squeeze and smiled as well; softening his features so that he resembled what he once looked like when they were both younger.
Seemingly satisfied with her answer, Ion kept a gentle hold on Esther's hand as they walked through the street. It was a slow day in town today, making their progress easy. The brick roads ended at the outskirts of the town turning into nothing more than old dirt roads.
Esther continued to smile contentedly as they continued on their way, walking far enough away so that the town was just a line of buildings behind them. They reached a field of flowers with an old bench resting under a willow tree. Ion allowed Esther to be seated, before resting himself beside her.
Leaning over, Esther rested her head on Ion's shoulder and closed her eyes.
"Tell me about it…" Esther requested quietly, unmoving from her comfortable position.
"Tell you about what Esther?" Ion asked, wanting to know where she wanted him to start. Every so often, after a certain period of time, they would come to this very place and recall the events that brought them together, and the hardship they had to endure.
"From the beginning, when we first met…" Esther said, letting his hand to go to keep a gentle hold on his arm, waiting for him to speak.
"As you wish…" Ion said, taking a deep breath to speak. "It all started…."
Author's Note:
Yes, this is just the introduction. Forget everything you know about the series, for it has little relevance in this story. I am changing everything. I am currently trying to finish up my other story in progress, so this will not be updated as frequently as the other. I ask you to forgive any mistakes that slip my eye. Also, please review and let me know what you think. Constructive criticism is always welcome as I would like to know how to improve, but do not be rude about it. Thank you!
Also Note: Be aware that the characters may not be completely true to their personalities. I'm bending everything around to my will, instead of leaping off of some point in the series as I usually try to do when writing a fan fiction. So, sit tight and I'll try not to let you down.
