Hello everyone! :D
I got to know RG Veda thanks to the manga books my cousin gave me. I have read and reread the books, and as time went by, my fondness for Ashura-ou and Taishaku-ten has grown, so much that I eventually wanted to get more tales about them. So, I was browsing here months ago, seeking stories that could quench my eternal need for TaiShura-ou, but failing to find a lot of them, I decided to write one myself! And here it is!
Disclaimer: I sadly do NOT own RG Veda, because if I did, I would have put lots of fluffy TaiShura-ou in it. :(
Anyways, enjoy!
The ground shook slightly, its tremors mounting up as the sound of thundering hooves, which can be heard from a distance, grew with crescendo.
Three masked figures, mounted on massive war horses, rode fast through the canyon, leaving clouds of dust in their wake. The one who rode in the middle was the messenger. To his left was one of his companions, who acted as the primary escort of their small party, the person specifically assigned by their lord to be the first one to respond and protect his comrades should they come into harm's way. The messenger slightly turned his head to his right, sparing his other companion a brief glance before facing forward again. The one to his right was the standard-bearer, tasked to announce their advance and uphold their master's most sacred honor by carrying their lord's standard, which depicted the golden seal of the six–armed deity that everyone knew so well. The red and gold flag fluttered proudly in the air as the three men rode on, unmindful of the heat, their armors gleaming brightly in the sunlight. They had been given the task of delivering a message of dire importance. And it was a goal they had to achieve within a specific amount of time, otherwise they would face their lord's displeasure.
Soon enough, as they were passing through a valley, some movements from the tops of the cliffs caught the sharp eye of the primary escort.
"We are being watched," he said, the volume of his voice measured precisely, loud enough to be heard only by his comrades over the solid beating of the horses' hooves.
"It is to be expected. Only a fool of a general would march anywhere without scouts to survey the surrounding area," the messenger replied bluntly, to which the standard-bearer grunted his approval.
"Well, I suppose it is better that they know we are coming, especially that ambitious general of theirs," the escort grumbled. "He will have much impressing to do if he wants to be part of our lord's troops."
The other two merely nodded, ending the brief conversation. They dug their spurs onto the sides of their mounts, increasing speed as they tore through the path, their advance relentless.
A few miles away from them, General Taishaku-ten looked up to the vibrant blue sky, sweat dripping from his forehead. His horse sidled restlessly beneath him, and he reached down absently to pet its neck. Sighing, he looked between the mass of his trudging army and the planes of land that stretched out before him. He was impatient to get back to court and have his audience with the God-King. But then, that is not what I'm really after. He smiled faintly, knowing full well what his true intentions were.
"The things you do to me, my lovely king," he murmured. He was not referring to the God-King, oh no, but rather to another king, the one who captured his heart. He closed his eyes, summoning the memory of beholding that beautiful being with pale skin, silky black hair, and those mysterious gold eyes that could melt him with just a brief look. Opening his eyes, he smiled rather sadly. Wake up, Taishaku-ten, he mentally chided himself. He is someone you can only love from afar, but never truly have.
"But still, how I long to see you again, my love," he said aloud.
Just then, the sound of hooves caught his attention and so he turned, seeing one of his scouts approaching.
Kyaa! That's it for now.
I'll update soon, I hope. I'm currently working on my other story sooo.. Heh.
I'll be back, promise!
Reviews please! *Hugs*
