Freefall
MagicConan14 here. I've been cutting back some fics so that I can make more…but 30-odd fics should be enough for one person.
Lately, I've had a theme for each of the series' names… 'Freefall' and the next two titles in this series are linked by the word 'fall', and it alludes to a little mind scene of mine where Ran falls into oblivion. That will be definitely appearing somewhere in the storyline.
Scroll 1~An Angel's Calling
"We already know you'll try to stop us…There will definitely be no place to hide for you. You, your family and your friends will be killed if you try to stop us with your karate," the man with silver-white shoulder length hair warned in a menacing voice. "That's what you deserve for wanting to meddle with us…"
Ran shot up, soaked in sweat. It had all been a bad dream…except for the fact there was a tall, lanky man at the end of her bed! A scream that only teenage girls were capable of was the result.
Hoisting himself off the bed and bowing, he introduced himself: "My lady, I am Reuben." He twiddled with his Kogoro-style moustache as he continued, "I am the Incubus." [A.N. This is a different kind of incubus to the one in mythology! You'll find out what it can do in this fic.] She seemed to remember that term from somewhere… "I can give you any power you like, in exchange for something you hold very dearly."
Ran, who knew exactly what she was going to do, accepted with a curt nod and told him, "I want to have the power to get rid of bad dreams." Shinichi had been having those lately, and she didn't want him to be plagued by them anymore. By any means, she would get rid of them.
Kogoro burst in just then, yelling, "Ran! Are you being harassed or -?" He immediately stopped asking when he saw she was alright. Reuben, on the other hand, had become invisible for the time being.
After Kogoro left and Reuben made himself visible, the Incubus muttered some ancient spell under his breath, the Incubus insignia (which looked like a curled psychic mark) appeared above his hands and hit Ran. It enveloped her, and then there was a bright light…
Ran opened her eyes to find herself in an elegant floaty dress, pale yellow strappy sandals and long sleeves that curled around her wrists. Just as she stepped towards the mirror [A.N. – I can't remember if she has one in her room.] to admire the outfit more, something behind her snagged on something. It was a pure white wing! She gasped in delight while her wing released itself.
Placing his hand on Ran's wrist, Reuben undid the transformation and handed her a silver bracelet. "This is for when you want to transform again." Ran replied with an eager nod.
Next time, you'll find out what happens to Shinichi, along with some other things…
