Blackvelvetrose: For the people that do actually read this author comment (I know many readers will skip this, I usually do :P) this is a short introduction chapter to give you a taste for what's to come, I promise all the other chapters are longer. Anyway, for disclaimer purposes, I own nothing. The two lines are exceprted from Robort Frost's "Fire and Ice." Please review and tell me what you think, and hopefully updates will begin to be uploaded.

Beginnings

Some people say you never know how good you have something until you loose it. I guess you could say I'm living proof of that, though I never use to think so.

I can't really remember much of the few moments before it happened, thought what I do recall; I think I could not easilly forget. Amidst the falme her face, tired and sad. And those lines that ran though my head as the falmes finally consumed me.

'From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.'

It wasn't until months after I was brought back for purposes still unknown to me that I made my peace with the higher powers. You would think saving the world singly handedly (Buffy helped a bit) would earn a man the right to an eternity of well-deserved rest. Some bloody luck I have; ending up with Captain Forehead and his gang of jolly do-gooders. But when the fates hand you a second chance at life, you take it. And although I wasn't sureof what obstacles I would encounter along the way, I eagerly set out to find her. What I would do and say when I made it there I was unsure of, but love had gotten me this far and I assumed it would take me the rest of the way. Of course, things are never as simple as they seem.
