Shīzun
Prologue
"There is nothing interesting about us. I mean, we have a jock," Calmacht rolled his eyes, "an artist," Rapunzel blushed, "a girl in love with snow," Jack smiled brightly,"and me, the guy obsessed with dragons." Hiccup said with a sigh. He and his friends had been told to find out how their ancestors could have known each other. But they were so different, it was impossible!
Hiccup knew his family went down to the vikings, Rapunzel and Calmacht could be royalty and Jack?
Her ancestors may have owned Burgess through marriage!
"We got nothing!" Hiccup groaned. 'Why me?!'
"Hiccup," Rapunzel giggled, "I'm sure we can figure it out." The foursome sat in silence. Nothing.
GAH!
STUPID ASSIGNMENT!
"THIS IS HOPELESS!" Calmacht yelled. He got a warning glance from the school librarian.
"Hmmm..." Jack thought, "my uncle has this book on history, nothing like our text books, wanna check it out?" The others nodded and they rushed over to Jack's home.
"Uncle Aster?!"
A tall man appeared when his name was said. "What da ya want Frostbite?"
"We have a class assignment-"
"about how our ancestors-" "could have known each other-"
"but we can't fin ANYTHING!" The foursome shot out.
Aster chuckled and walked over to a shelf. He handed a book over to Rapunzel.
"Good luck." With a sigh, Rapunzel opened the book and gasped.
"We have our project!"
"Mr. Haddock, Mr. Dunbroch, Miss Corona and Miss Overland Frost!" The foursome stood up and faced the audience before them.
"When we were told about this assignment, I thought we'd never get it done. But, we know that what we have goes as far back as ancient Japan. Which is where the story we are about to read takes place..."
Jack opened the book, frowned and blew off the dust.
Everyone coughed as a cloud of dust filled the air.
"It all began..."
Kura: REVIEW! So, this is a Modern HS/Ancient Japan AU. We start off with the Big Four, with Fem!Jack and Male!Merida, as you can see, working on a school project. The project is to find out if their ancestors could have known each other.
Sakura: After this, we got straight into the Ancient Japan AU. The title Shīzun, is the Japanese way to say Season. Also, the following are the Japanese names we chose for the Big Four.
Yuki Mūnfurawā- Jack Frost.
We chose this name because "Yuki" means snow, and "Mūnfurawā" means moon flower. Jack is the daughter of Tsar Lunar in Ancient Japan and an only child. She is seen as an elder sister by all the children. Tsar Lunar is the Emperor.
Ryūjin Torēnā- Hiccup H. Haddock III.
"Ryūjin" means Dragon King and "Torēnā" means trainer. Hiccup plays the hero in our story. He travels to Japan seeking shelter from Dagur, who's trying to kill him.
Kasai Moeru- Male!Merida Dunbroch.
Kasai means fire and Moeru means burn. He helps Ryūjin train. He's a well known samurai.
Hana Haru- Rapunzel Corona.
Rapunzel's name was honestly the easiest to come up with. Hana means flowers and Haru means spring. She's a gardener and a healer in this story.
