To Be Together Again

To Be Together Again

Prologue: Wild Passion

            I don't own Lodoss War Chronicles of the Heroic Knight, its music, or its characters. But I do own this plot line (I really like this prologue) and any original characters I dream up. I have no idea where this story unlike Cold Sweat or the Sailor Moon Epic (not posted yet). I just had a wild idea one night when I was trying to get to sleep. For all amateur writers, as you go to sleep is the best time to brainstorm ideas. Please review because I don't think that I might finish this since I've got all these ideas swimming around in my brain that I need to write down. Maybe I'll actually write them…

            Standing up, Spark shook his armor into alignment and walked out of the garrison. Aimlessly, he walked around the palace gardens, not seeing any of the beautiful blossoms.

           

            No, he saw her face looming just out of reach. Still preoccupied, he sat down on a bench, contemplating the task he was assigned. The god of war had kidnapped Neese. Maybe he was unhappy with the peace finally come to Lodoss. Still it surprised Spark that any god would take active participation in common mortal lives. But Neese was anything but normal.

            Listlessly, he thought of the golden ankle bracelet in his barrack. It was one of a kind, in the shape of flowers. But how could Neese get it now?

            Leaf was really worried about her captain. The news about Neese must have hit him hard. As usual, she had been nosy and found out about the anklet when she saw Spark sneak off to the blacksmith.

She watched him walked out of the garrison, where he had been told about Neese, with a dazed look. She was pretty sure he didn't even know he was awake. And now she was looking for him.

Leaf caught sight of him in a small alcove, fingering an orchard. Orchards where Neese's favorite. Quietly, she walked towards Spark. Sensing Leaf's presence he looked up. She noticed that his eyes seemed unfocused.

A crazy smile lit Spark's face. Taking a step forward, he said a word incoherently. Leaf stepped backwards; this wasn't the Spark she knew.

Suddenly Spark's arms had wrapped themselves compulsively around Leaf's waist. Then his lips came down hard on her own. A strong smell of alcohol permeated around him. Whispering through the kiss he said, "Neese…"

Leaf was scared senseless. She seemed to be watching the scene from outside her body. She tried to scream but Spark just kissed her harder. Then new hope arrived. Her large elf ears picked up the telltale sound of Garric's tread.

Then she saw the ax handle come down on Spark's head. He slumped in Leaf's arms and Ryna caught him, before Leaf dropped him.

Garric smile apolitically, "Sorry Leaf. Our captain here isn't going normal for awhile." Leaf just nodded and hugged herself.

Oh, just had to write that. Got to get it out of my system. See ya later! *.*

And if I spelt anyone's name wrong, I'll fix it!
