Escaflowne - An Unwanted Turn Of Events

Prologue

Van Fanel had never seen such a strange place. What with all the writing in little squares with lots of lines and all the squares boxes with moving pictures. Van Fanel, young king of Fanalia, Gaia, the Solar system, a Galaxy, a universe and god knows what else, was stranded in an unknown planet. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

(Couldn't resist!!! Hehe!! Don't blame me!!!)

He was wearing his trademark (so last year/ last millennium) red shirt, black pants, his black hair was STILL scruffy and his red/ brown eyes glinted with amusement as a kid tried to pull a piece of metal of the pavement where it was stuck.

King Van Fanel of Fanalia had come to this planet to find himself a wife and queen. This was because every eligible woman (ranging from 10 years old to 50+) was about as interesting as a pig rolling in mud. Actually they were less interesting and more ugly than a pig rolling in mud; which is pretty interesting when you've nothing else to do or just want to get away from your advisors.

And when you are 17 years old you really want a Queen about your age. But looking at all the youths his age of the opposite sex on the street already had a boyfriend (/girlfriend) and most wouldn't want to get married yet and live in a castle with no electricity on a planet plunged into the middle ages.

Someone tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around. His jaw fell open as he saw a slim girl of about 15 with short brown hair and twinkling green eyes. Once he got over the first sight of her he realised she was saying something.

'...House,' she finished.

'Er sorry could you repeat that he stuttered.
Stuttered, he King Van Fanel most confident with the ladies had just stuttered asking a pretty, no, stunning girl a simple question!! What was he coming too???

'You look lost, so I guess you're not from around her. Do you want to come back to my house to get your bearings?' she smiled.

'Yeah 'Kay' mumbled Van as he followed the girl in a maze of streets, wondering how he'd ever find his way back to Escaflowne, his guymeluf.
