AN: This is the story of my avatar's past and present. Please, do not flame, constructive criticism is approved though.

As the only prince and successor to the throne of the raccoon demons, Arashi was never allowed to leave castle of his father, Noribudan. Arashi, being the young boy that he was, quickly got bored with the scenery of the palace and eventually escaped from the refines of the walls. He was quickly found and captured thereafter. Days turned to weeks. Weeks turned to months. Months turned to years. Years turned to millennia, until finally, the day that Arashi had waited for came. The day that the restraints he had had all his life had been lifted and he was set free to see the world for what it truly was.

Now, Arashi saw the true horror of his father's kingdom. It was a place where only the rich could survive and the poor could only live through theft. Arashi, shocked by the sight, vowed to put an end to it, even killing his own father if he had to.

Arashi left the kingdom of the raccoons and gained a new alliance with the wolf demons. He quickly made his home in a small valley in the wolf demons' territory. While there he quickly developed a friendship with the wolf demon king, Demyora. It was through Demyora that Arashi learned of the thousands of magic portals scattered throughout the world. Intent on finding these portals, Arashi asked Demyora if he knew of any.

"From my personal knowledge, I believe there's one in your valley," was the only answer Demyora gave to Arashi.

Now enthused by this new knowledge, Arashi began his mission to find the portal. After many years and failures, Arashi finally found what he was looking for, a magic portal into another universe. Upon its discovery, Arashi automatically took the biggest step, through the portal. On exit, Arashi was amazed to find himself in a completely new and futuristic world. The first person he happened upon he asked what the world was called. The stranger only looked at him in confusion and walked away. It was then that he realized that they did not understand his language, nor he theirs. Obsessed with learning, Arashi went on a frenzy, talking to as many people as he could to see if they would respond in their language. Needless to say, Arashi quickly picked it up. After learning the language, the next step would have to be the name of the place he was in. Seeing an old man walking his way, he quickly stopped him, "Excuse me, but, what is the name of this place?"

The old man smiled and said, "Gaia!"
