Disclaimer: this disclaimer hereby applies for this whole fic. I don't own
Gundam Wing, or the characters at all, in any way whatsoever, etc. etc.
AN-well, with magical Destiny finished, I figured I'd try something new...yes, my other fics will eventually be finished, I just can't say when. Besides, I needed something new to work on. So, on with things.
*~*~*~*~*
Forgotten Dragons
Prologue
*~*
Two men stepped off of the personal aircraft, one following the other. Platinum blonde hair contrasted with ginger strands in the bright rays of the sun. The difference in the two men's heights was clearly noted in the shadows formed behind them from the golden orb in the sky, and the heat radiated from the pavement of the runway the plane had just landed on. Sparkling aqua-marine eyes took in their surroundings with curiosity and excitement while navy betrayed a smug, pleased gaze.
The two men, both aristocratic in nature, wore similar, tan colored clothing. The shorter of the two stepped away from his plane, holding a large map at arm's length. He squinted his eyes against the bright sunlight, shifting his weight from one foot to the other, khaki pants fastened comfortable around his waist, navy blue button up dress shirt fitting his slim, although slightly feminine, frame nicely. His companion stepped up beside him, peering at the map in more comfort due to the sunglasses that sat on the bridge of his nose. His pants were similar to those of the blonde, although his loose, cotton, black shirt revealed darker skin at the 'v' neck that was decorated with eighteenth century style strings.
Obviously older, the taller man sighed and returned his gaze to the jungle that loomed before them...quite literally. Instead of the tall glass buildings he had grown accustomed to while performing the research necessary for this mission, the aircraft they had just come from debarking (piloted by the petite blonde himself) had descended and landed safely at a deserted air terminal surrounded completely by trees. The landing had been a little rough due to lack of maintenance on the runway, but the craft itself had undergone no damage.
The blonde knelt on the ground, spreading out the map before him. "We're here." He said, marking a spot with a slender finger as three more men descended from the plane, two sporting sunglasses while the third adjusted an Indiana Jones style hat on his head. "The guide is waiting for us here." He continued, trailing his finger across the crisp page before he stopped about two inches away. "Ten kilometers." He informed the other man. "If we leave now, we can make it before nightfall."
The taller nodded. "Good." He said, turning to the men that was strapping large, tan knapsacks to their backs. "We leave immediately." He informed them briskly, adjusting his own hat so that it blocked out the majority of the sun's rays from his line of vision. He walked over to survey their progress, his eyes always judging. "Don't leave anything behind."
The blonde behind him folded the map and placed it in a pocket on the inside of his tan vest, running the back of his hand over his forehead to clear the beads of sweat that had formed in the few minutes outside the plane. Unscrewing the cap on his water canteen, he tilted his head back as he brought the mouth of the bottle to his lips. He breathed a sigh as he released the canteen a moment later, wiping his mouth on the back of his hand.
"Winner, you coming?" the taller man called from behind. Quatre Winner turned to face his co-worker, Treize Kushrenada, with an excited grin lighting his features. He picked up his own khaki bag and followed the rest of the group into the dense undergrowth of the jungle, leaving his aircraft behind. Once they met with their guide, they would be on their way to making the greatest archeological find of the century.

Yes, I know it's short, but it's only the prologue! I'm working on the first chapter right now, and it will be out amazingly soon. I have motivation for this fic! I hope to have it finished ASAP, but don't listen to my promises, we all know that my brain doesn't! Anyway, leave a review and let me know if I should keep writing. This idea kind of came out of nowhere...I hope it lives up to my usual standards...
