A/N: Hi! My favourite TT is Raven so don't judge me, this is may be turn into a RavenxBushido later on, if you guys want it to or if I don't give a shit what my readers think and want that to happen. This is also an opening to Raven's past in my mind. I got the idea playing a game on so don't judge me if it's corny! This is the Prologue. Enjoy.
The Legend of the Ten Princesses
Once upon a time, in the magical land of Azarath, in the kingdom of Yore, lived ten sister princesses. No two princesses were alike, but they never fought or argued over important matters. Each princess had a different personality and different powers.
There was Amy, the friendly princess. Aphrodite, the love-struck princess. Bethany, the mysterious princess. Elizabeth, the brainy princess. Fauna, the pet princess. Flora, the nature princess. Isabella, the sweet princess. Joy, the happy princess. Raven, the power princess. And last, but certainly not least, Stephanie, the confident princess.
Each princess loved and respected one another, never once did any of them have genuine ill-will towards another. Except when a certain prince became involved. His name was Prince Richard von Phantom the eighth of Garamond. He had blonde hair up to his shoulders, brilliant blue eyes and he always wore the most extravagant of outfits. His smile could banish Trigon to the deepest depths of the underworld. All the princesses fell hexes over spells in love with him except one.
"HE'S MINE!"
"HE LOVES ME!"
"DON'T BE RIDICULOUS! HE COULD NEVER LOVE SUCH AN UGLY PIG!"
"SO HE'D LOVE AN UNTIDY SLOB, WOULD HE?!"
"AT LEAST HE'D HAVE FUN WITH ME!"
"HE'D DIE OF BOREDOM WITH YOU! WITH ME HE'D NEVER FEEL EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BORED!"
"AT LEAST HE COULD ENJOY PEACE AND QUIET WITH ME!"
"ARE YOU KIDDING? HE MAY ASWELL SLAY HIMSELF IF HE'S GOING TO BE WITH YOU!"
"WELL IF HE MARRIED ME HE'D NEVER ONCE EVEN THINK OF DIEING!"
Arguments like thins went on for hours, getting louder and larger. The king and queen didn't know what to do. All of their darling daughters wanted to marry the prince, but none of them would once consider the friendship they once had. For a long while they'd forgotten that Raven, the power princess, didn't love Richard von Phantom. They decided to place Raven, the second youngest sister, as the heir to the throne. When the other nine princesses quietened down enough to realise what was happening, they immediately went to father and begged to be given another chance. But King Vulgen would not change his mind. As they sulked a mysterious man approached them in the royal garden and offered to make Raven so frightened she'd leave, stupidly they agreed, wanting so badly to have their shot at the crown back. What they didn't know was that their parents had deceived them, if they knew the truth about Raven they would never have agreed to the man's offer. What they didn't know was that their father wasn't Raven's father, the hideous demon lord Trigon was her father.
Their mother had been raped by Trigon when Joy was two. Arella told her beloved Vulgen what the monster had done and the king sent out his best knights to slay the evil one. But what they thought to be the demon's carcass was really an illusion of the shadows. The real Trigon had disappeared into the underworld. When the knights came home with the false news the king was bursting with joy until a thought crossed his mind that he'd never considered, what if his beloved was pregnant with the demon's spawn ling. He was about to discuss this with Arella when she revealed to her husband that she was indeed carrying a demon. The king almost regretted not going after Trigon himself but he'd been too worried about his wife. Vulgen suggested an abortion but Arella, being Arella, wanted to keep the poor thing, the king agreed. On one condition, the monks would read its mind and if it was pure evil, they'd kill it. Arella stubbornly agreed.
So, when the demon was born, Arella immediately loved her. The little baby had soft, indigo hair that was only just visible, big round violet eyes, a blood red charka stone upon her forehead and, Arella's favourite feature, the sweet baby girl smelled of lavender. The monks were anxious to take the baby and study its mind, but they also felt they needed the queen's permission. After she reluctantly allowed her precious angel to be taken away she thought about names. She never really had much trouble choosing names for her other eight princesses, but this one was different. Her eyes were mysterious like Bethany's, brainy like Elizabeth's, friendly like Amy's and sweet like Isabella's. There were only two names she could think of to fit this one and came after the letter J, Murder-Rose or Raven. She'd decided on Raven-Murder-Rose Roth, or Raven for short. She discussed it with Vulgen who arrived at the hospital later that day and he agreed that it was a lovely name, if not peculiar. A short while after, the head-monk returned with the ninth princess, he told the king in private of Raven's prophecy. He knew he'd have to rid the world of the latest addition of his family, but there were two obstacles stopping him. Firstly was how cute she was when she smiled at him and secondly, Arella. It would break her heart if Raven-Murder-Rose was disposed of. He decided to keep the baby, but his choice wasn't that hard after the monks had told him the full truth about the prophecy; no-one knows what it truly is as those exact monk's bodies now feeding the earth. Everything was perfect, happy. Arella had forgotten the pain Trigon had caused her and Vulgen was happy that his sweet little Raven.
When Raven's fourteenth birthday approached she had a little sister named Stephanie who was twelve for the time being and the two were the best of friends. Amy, Aphrodite and Bethany had forgotten about the man in the garden five years ago and were now happily married and ruling over kingdoms with their lawfully wedded husbands but Liz, Fauna, Flora, Bella and Joy were still out for blood. On the birthday of Princess Raven-Murder-Rose Roth the entire kingdom was invited and the kings and queens and their sons and daughters of other kingdoms too, so everyone failed to notice the very dodgy man who stood in the shadows and watched the birthday-girl, HIS birthday-girl. At the near end of the ceremony, Raven was about to be officially crowned next in line for the throne. Just then Trigon's true form burst through the human façade, making him one hundred feet tall. With a roar he banished his daughter to earth, to live until her purpose in life was fulfilled. As everyone screamed an ran as a shadow portal was formed under the princess, her father, mother and the knights all tried to reach her and save her from this cruel (from azarathian point of view) fate. But the only one to get to her was the black knight, Sir Sinister. As he grabbed her tiny wrist they, the princess and her 6'2 muscled black knight, were plunged into darkness the fourth-eighth princesses were all horrified as they realised their mistake.
I don't know what happened next, I wasn't there.
A/N: Love it? Hate it? Either way I'm happy. If anyone who's reading this has played 'Beyond Good And Evil' on the PS2 and has killed the monster that grabs Pey-J after you find Double H and then lose him again, could you help me because I'm so pissed off with it. I have 1 Taco and 3 bags of fruit or whatever they're called. Anyway, read, review, or PM with tips for BGAE 'cause I HATE THAT MONSTER!
