Author's Note:

Hi everyone! This is my first fan fiction ever and I am hoping it is well received… I'd been planning on my first one being a "safe" attempt, but that kinda fell through the floor.

Side 1: Oh god, you are actually gonna post it?!

Side 2: What's the big deal? It's not like she's the first to post something like this.

Me: *twitch*

Side 2: Aw look, you made her mad-

Side 1: NO I DIDN'T!

Me: *Ahem*

~silence~

Me: Anyway, I just wanted to give a brief explanation before you all started reading. I've had this Idea for a while thanks to my subconscious mind dreaming it up. There were two main problems I ran into though… First was the issue of the whole yaoi bit… yes I said it.

Side 1 (s1): *smack*

Me: ow… ok to be brief, he's not gay in this story it was against his will… which leads to the second dilemma. Anyone who's seen or read Guin Saga would know how ridiculously strong Guin is. There is however the issue of magic – which led to his capture in one of the later anime episodes – so that is my explanation for how…

S2: Oy! You planning on explaining them to death or actually typing the damned thing?

Me: oops.

Prologue

Sunlight shined faintly through narrow windows as the sun slowly sank below the horizon. A lone figure stood in the building's narrow hall, his bare feet patting silently on the cold stone floor as he mopped. This was just another day for him, just another prisoner in the hidden cavern. His name was Koga.

Out of all the prisoners he was the only one allowed out of his cell, and the only one the demon Zinran didn't touch, anymore. Koga remembered the day he was released from the daily torture he and the other prisoners alternately suffered. Zinran had had him brought to his chambers only to be taken back to his cell, an occurrence that usually meant the demon had grown bored and planned to kill his "prey". Instead Koga was notified that he was now to take over the job of bringing food and water to the other captives as well as cleaning the so called "castle". He later found out that the demon had sensed approaching death in Koga and felt no need to waste it's efforts in killing him.

He was quickly distracted from his thoughts as one of the many minions – a messenger to be specific – hurried past him to report to Zinran in the next room. Koga listened carefully while he continued mopping the hall.

"What did you find?" Zinran called to his messenger in a smooth mid-ranged voice. The minion bowed quickly, "I bring great news my lord, we found him." A smile quickly replaced the demon's apathetic expression as he rose from his seat. "Finally," he exclaimed in excitement, scaring Koga who was listening in, "I've finally found him! My precious gem!" He turned his gaze back to his minion, "Rally the elite and head out immediately. Waste no time and bring him here!"

The minion gave a swift bow before sprinting out the door, passing Koga who was stiff with shock. Great gods! He shook slightly. The god of fate is cruel.

Meanwhile in Parros, Rinda lay asleep in bed. Her pale face was contorted in fear as a voice cried out in agony in her mind. A young maid with amber hair walked into the room and saw Rinda's expression. "M-My lady!" she shouted as she rushed to her side and shook her awake, "My lady please wake up! You are alright!"

Rinda bolted upright, her silvery white hair draping itself over her slender form. "Get my brother," she ordered softly, "please hurry." She watched the maid quickly run out of the room as tears flowed freely down her cheeks; Sunni woke up and hugged her. "Rinda ok?" she asked, concern clouding her wide eyes. Rinda shook her head as she hugged Sunni back. "I had a vision," she replied. She knew the voice she'd heard, though she'd never heard him cry out like that, that voice had been Guin.
