Disclaimer: I do not own Escaflowne- plain and simple.
Summary: AU. Angels are mythological creatures, thought to be beautiful beings that are alive only in one's imagination. Or so people thought. Would they still think me beautiful if they knew I existed and if they knew how I came to be?
Author's note: This is my second idea for an Escaflowne fic, but it's the first one that I started writing. The story is a bit like Dark Angel (which I don't own either), but I think that I've molded my thoughts and ideas into what I've written.
Only the important Escaflowne characters and those who suit the story have been included. I also apologize if any of the characters seem a bit OOC. Anyway, I hope that you enjoy this story. Please review… constructive criticism is most welcome!
Angel Experiment: Spread My Wings
By Faery Pink Sparkle
Prologue
Angels are mythological creatures, thought to be beautiful beings that are alive only in one's imagination. Or so people thought.
Would they still think me beautiful if they knew I existed and if they knew how I came to be? I don't think so. They wouldn't see me as 'beautiful', not if they knew the truth. But even I don't know the whole truth. I don't know why I was chosen, I don't know what my purpose is and I don't know what the future holds for me. Though there is one thing I do know; humans are not to be trusted. Not all humans are bad, but most of them are. Trust me when I say that I know what I'm talking about- I speak from experience.
If humans saw what I was, I would be persecuted and treated like an animal. Would they even take into consideration that I'm human too? Not likely.
I'd like to consider myself as an angel, but I'm not. I'm an abomination. An abomination of science to be more exact. Confused? Let me explain a few things then. I'm the Angel Experiment (also known as the Dragon) of the Hell-hole. "Hell-hole?" you may ask. Well, to those in the ignorant world, the Hell-hole is the toy enterprise in Japan that is more commonly known as the Zaibach Corporation. But to me, it's my living hell- ergo the name 'Hell-hole'.
Zaibach Corporation is owned by a man named Dornkirk or as I like to call him, 'Satan's Spawn'. The other experiments would agree with me; no hesitation. Yes, there are others. I'm not the only one.
Zaibach created the bestselling toy robot known as the Melefs and their current project is Escaflowne- a limited edition Melef. Being a toy company is just a ruse to hide what they are really doing; human experiments. Somewhere in the Zaibach building, humans are being tested, trained and tortured. I'm one of those humans. I've spent five years of my life in this Hell-hole and now I'm ready to spread my wings. Literally. One day, I'll escape. And when I do, I'll come back and destroy Zaibach. One day…
Author's note: How was my prologue? Did it get you interested? I hope it did. Sorry that it's so short..Well, I'd like to know what you think. Words of encouragement and constructive criticism will help me to write and will be greatly appreciated : ) -Pink Sparkle
