MSSKZ: Heh heh heh... Uh.... This is my first Dragon Knights fanfic. ^_^;;; I'll probably have some trouble keeping it Dragon Knights only, but I'll survive. As the title implies, this is a Dragon Knights version of Sleeping Beauty. I've decided to write this because I saw the school play, which is a kabuki version of Sleeping Beauty, and the fact that Dragon Knights 10 STILL hasn't come out.

Neo: *ecstatic* YES!!! I'M NOT IN THIS!!!!

MSSKZ: *whacks Neo* No dur! It's purely Dragon Knights this time!!!

Serena: *starts to sing the Hallelujah Chorus*

MSSKZ: _ ...... ^_^;;; Please ignore them.... I did a Matrix spoof awhile ago, and I don't think that they've recovered.... Anyways, domo arigato for reading!!! *whacks Serena to shut her up* I hope you enjoy my story!! ^_^ OH! And I own nothing!! Except maybe Reu, Seu, and Keu.

~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~

A long time ago, in a--- Oops.... Wrong story.... ^_^;;; I'll start over...
Once upon a time, in a land far away, there lived a king and a queen. They wanted a child more than anything, and one day they got their wish. Now, unlike almost all other versions of Sleeping Beauty, the kid's not going to be a girl. It was a prince this time. Everyone was well, happy for the king and queen. (I need to stop being vague. Ok. I'll cut to the chase, since this is going way too slow. The king's Lykouleon, the queen's Raseleane, and the story's set in Dusis. K? Good. I'm never good with intros....) And so our story begins at the naming ceremony thingy. Diplomats from other kingdoms came bearing gifts to the prince. There, however, was one group in particular that was especially weird.

Reu, stop it!! Seu yelled at his friend, who was intentionally being a pain in the ass to Alfeegi to see how pissed off he'd get. She had already broken the world record.

Make me!! She retorted.

Keu then hit Reu and knocked her out. I'm deeply sorry. She can be suck a pain sometimes. ^_^;;;

It's nothing, really. I should actually thank you for distracting Alfeegi, Kai-stern said.

Thank you for stopping her. And you! You spent too much on your mission again!!! I bet you had a tour of all of the taverns in Cezarre! Alfeegi said. -_-XX

Uh... We'll be going now.... Seu said. He and Keu then walked off, half-carrying, half dragging Reu.

When it was time for Reu, Seu, and Kris to present their gifts, Reu tripped on the way there, in frount of the entire court. Everyone burst out in laughter, except Keu and Seu, who were embarrassed beyond belief. Eventually, they got to Lykouleon and Raseleane.

HI!!! ^_^, said Reu.

Hello, we are from the kingdom of--- ..... A kingdom that's far, far away, Seu said.

Welcome, thank you for coming today, Raseleane said.

You are very much welcome, your Majesty, Keu said, and then bowed.

Anyways!! My gift for the prince is.... Reu said, then paused to think about it. Keu then elbowed her, and Reu remembered. My gift is the Sword of Light. I can't actually give it to you, unfortunately...

Lykouleon asked, confused.

Because, the thing about the Sword of Light is that, where we are from, we make pledges on the Sword of Light, so saying that her gift is the Sword of Light, she's saying that if in need, we will do anything to protect the prince, Seu said.

Exactly!! ^_^, Reu said.

My gift to the prince is a magic talisman that wards off evil spirits, Seu said, knowing that he sounded very cliched. I'm sorry that this is a little cliched... ^_^;;;

And my--- Keu was cut off by the appearance of a certain demon.

Why, Lykouleon, my invitation seemed to have been misplaced, Nadil said.

You weren't invited, Lykouleon growled.

I wasn't? Well, that wasn't very nice of you was it?

We're sworn enemies, and I've actually decapitated you before, so why would I invite you to my son's naming party ceremony thingy?

Wonderful choice of words.

It's better than what Reu was going to say, Seu said.

Keu nodded in agreement.

Back to our argument, Lykouleon said.

Oh, right... Well, anyways, to show that I bear no ill will, I too shall--- um... line? Nadil said.

Give a gift to the kid?

Right. HA! You helped me there!!!!

Shut up. That just proved how stupid you actually are.

I hate you. I really, truly hate you.

And you discovered this when??

_........ My gift will be that on his 16th birthday, me or one of my minions will kill him somehow. I've yet to figure out how, but when I do, I'll tell you so you can try to foil my plans.

I'd wish Lord Nadil would stop having a Kharl moment, Shydeman whispered to Shyrendora.

Hahaha!! Sure, and Nadil, whatever you do, don't talk to Kharl the Alchemist. It's really a bad, bad idea, Reu said, out of the blue. All then started to stare at her again, and Keu and Seu knocked her out.

She's a little different, isn't she? Lykouleon said.

...Yeah.. Sort of. We're actually the weird ones in our kingdom, because we aren't deranged, Seu said.

Hey, Lykouleon, I figured it out! Your brat will be killed by a curse that I have yet to devise, and--- Nadil was cut off.

Why not just do the cliché and get it over with? the newly conscious Reu asked.

Because guys don't work with spinning wheels?

Ah. Right.

Going back to my point, the kid will be affected by the curse, and I'll personally kill him, somehow, and if I don't then... O.K. I won't fail.... Oh! I got it! Before the sun sets on his 16th birthday, he'll die of an illness that I need to get Kharl to make. Yeah, that's it, Nadil said and then started to laugh maniacally.

Lord Nadil, it's time to go. You're about to be killed by practically everyone now, Shyrendora said.



They, they being Nadil and Shyrendora, and Shydeman, then left in a poof of purple smoke. Well, at least Shyrendora and Shydeman did. Nadil was still there, looking a little singed.

I'll show myself out. he said, and then walked away.

....I can't bring myself to feel all that concerned by Nadil, Keu said. He's a little too goofy.

Yeah, he was acting too much like Kharl, Reu said. In fact I thought I heard Shydeman saying that Nadil was having a Kharl moment' instead of a blond moment'.

Lykouleon and Raseleane were just sort of standing there, in shock. Reu, on the other hand was fantasizing about throttling another one of her friends, Neu, for using all her CDs for target practice.

Then, Keu said, But, I still have to give my gift, and even though I can sort of undo the curse, I'm not allowed, thanks to Fate. So, therefore, I'll give you some infornmation. One of the ways to keep the future from happening is to find all the Dragon Knights. In five years, you'll happen to meet the Dragon Knight of Fire. In ten years, the Dragon Knight of Water. In fifteen years, the Dragon Knight of Earth, and the Red Dragon Officer. The duty of all of the Dragon Officers and such is to find the Dragon Knight of Wind. In the preordained world, Nadil is the true Dragon Knight of Wind, but I'll try to get permission from Fate to change the future. She'll most likely say yes. Until then, it might be a good idea to hide the prince somewhere.

That sounds like a wise idea, Tetheus said.

Yeah, it does, Lykouleon said, still in shock.

And so, Keu did get permission from Fate to change the past/future, and the only thing that Fate wanted in return was that the people that were to look after the prince were Seu, Reu, and Keu. (In addition to doing the dishes for Fate and Co. when they got back to the kingdom that they were from for a few months, and believe me, that's one hell of a lot of dishes)

~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~

How dost thou likest this story so far? Yes, I'm evil leaving this so early in the chapter. I know that I can usually belt out a ten page story in no time flat, but this is sort of hard, since I usually do fanfics in script format (and it's 12:36). Can you guess who the prince is? I'll tell you one thing: I didn't make up any characters for the role. Anyways, until next time!! ^_^
