This idea just came into my head. This is just a little preview, if anyone thinks I should continue, please REVIEW and tell me what you think.

Tartan: I mean this to be just a brief prelude to the story; I am attempting to set it up at the beginning of Asculin's career. But thanks for the insight.

The REAL Cheese Monkey: Yes I will be writing more, thanks for the review!

Prologue

Destiny

Andalite date: 8623.3

Earth date: 2001

My name is Asculan-Semitur-Langor. I am not some much beloved war-hero like Elfangor. I am not some disgraced war-criminal like Alloran. I am military born and bred and this is my story.

I was born in the scoop of my parents Heerua-Semitur-Kosuaf and Aristal-Iskalla-Shfet. As was to be expected I was an only child, as in those days it was only allowed to be one child per scoop. Unless, of course, that child was a vecol then the parents could try to have a healthy child if they so wished.

I grew up well enough. There was, at that time, no war with the Yeerk filth so I had more freedoms than children of later times. My shorm was none other than that of Seerow. Yes the Seerow, Seerow the Fool. We joined the Academy together with dreams of becoming great and honoured Princes. As you know that was not to be, for one of us at least.

It was my father who first encouraged me into joining the Fleet, I could have been a scientist, or doctor, or teacher as he was but he had always said that if given the chance to 'repeat the process again' as the old Andalite saying goes, he would have joined the Academy himself. He said it was a way to explore the galaxy and see new worlds, so I left home at the Andalite age of fifteen, and became an aristh.

Arsisths are the lowest rank in the Fleet, described as a warrior–cadet. They are not allowed to fight in battles, however they are sent on war-related missions. Not that we were at war now.

I joined along with five other cadets: Sofor, the fighter. Breeyar, the thinker. Feyorn, the leader. Alloran, the joker. And Seerow, the dreamer, my shorm.

We stood outside the Academy nervous and exited, waiting for the prince to come and how us to our quarters.

We were all so young, so ready and yet so unprepared for the many different paths that destiny held for us.

There you go, that's your little preview. Now if you want me to continue then please REVIEW!
