Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans. The idea for this story was conceived by a friend (Will, if you care to look at my profile) who requested my help, so we're writing it together. Our own characters (more Will's than mine) are Sinai, Azano, and Drage. You should ask us if you want to use them.
Prologue: 1000 Years Ago...
"Sinai, be careful with that!"
"I'm sorry, Azano. I thought I heard something outside."
"We must keep working. The King doesn't know what he has started and if we do not combat it, who knows what might happen?"
Azano turns back to the test tube he is fiddling with. Sinai brushes her purple hair back and concentrates on the sycamore seedling. It sprouts and blooms far more quickly than a normal plant. Suddenly, the door to Azano's hut is broken down and the King's soldiers enter. Azano and Sinai jump to their feet.
"Azano Midelzawi, you are under arrest for high treason of the crown."
Sinai moves protectively in front of Azano. "No! You can't take him! You don't understand!"
Azano grabs her by the shoulders and spins her to face him. In a low whisper, he tells her, "No, Sinai. It will be fine. There is nothing to be gained by causing a scuffle."
"But they'll kill you!" protests Sinai as Azano pushes her away and allows the guards to come near.
"This way, you can continue the work we have started. Stay free!"
The guards lead Azano away. Sinai makes for the door, but more guards block her path.
"No! Azano!" Sinai cries as she falls to her knees, sobbing. "I don't see how I can... without you."
A/N: While it makes no sense whatsoever to do so, we decided to tell the flashbacks in the present tense and the story in the past tense. If you don't like it, don't read it. It's just that simple. If you don't like hinted romance, don't read. And if you don't like Teen Titans... you're in the wrong place.
Also, we're still editing. Give us a little bit of time. We never get together anymore!
