Author says : Hello

I wanted to say something to start this new project of mine.

But nothing came to mind 'sides the traditional "hope you like it", "please do comment" and the like.

So instead, here's a joke:

Why can't Martians touch their pinky toes?

'Cause they don't exist.

….

…..

I never said 'twas a good joke.

Let's Start the story:

Maleficent looked around, she watched the burning village; she saw its defenders attack the heartless with their techniques that were quite similar to magic spells.

With one major difference: they couldn't harm the beings of darkness. Whether it was fire, water, lightning, wind, rock or mud or even pure physical strike, nothing worked. Everything went right through the monsters.

She even saw a woman send snakes from her sleeves to no avail.

The sorceress admitted she was interested in the abilities of the people from this soon to be extinct world.

'Although it won't matter for long…' She thought as another one of these "shinobi" fell, his heart soon consume by the darkness, a Shadow appearing soon after and immediately attacking the villagers.

None of the inhabitants had tried to attack her, perhaps none had even noticed her, and she could focus on finding the source of a most peculiar thing.

More precisely, a sound. A most peculiar sound, a most ambiguous sound, an oxymoron of a sound.

A laugh and sobbing.

Coming from the same person

And she neared the source; she could feel the darkness coming from them. And almost as much light.

And then she found him.

A boy, appearing younger than he truly was with blond hair lighter than Aurora's, blue eyes showing pain, scar inscribed deeply in the boy's Heart.

Tears fell from his eyes as he laughed. His laugh was one of a man who had given up on life before seeing the source of their every sufferings burn.

A more appropriate description she could not find. She suspected it to be the true.

He looked at her and slowly stopped sobbing/laughing.

Maleficent looked at him and he looked at her. She was surprised, but did not show it, to see acceptance in his eyes.

He accepted whatever fate had for him; he accepted death or worse with no regrets.

She also saw something else.

Something that, if her guess was correct, and she was sure it was, the entire village had missed.

Potential.

So much potential, for light, for darkness.

Even more so considering the Heartless refused to go near him.

None dared to come even near him.

The dark fairy closed her eyes and took a decision.

"Boy… Would you like to leave this world?" She had his attention. "Would you like to get the power you deserve? The mean to make sure no one hurt you like this village did?"

His eyes widen a bit and he did not need to think for long before giving his answer.

"Yes." It was clear, short but with no hesitation. She smiled a bit.

"Very well, I am Maleficent, and from now on, you will be y apprentice, my soldier. What is your name boy?"

"My name is…." He sniffed back the tears as determination carved itself on his face and in his eyes.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto." He moved himself so he was on one knee his head bowed down. "And I will be you soldier, your knight, Maleficent-sama."

She smiled again and went to him. Darkness pooled underneath them as she created a portal to her Bastion. He showed no fear and, soon, they were gone from this dyeing world.

End of chapter.

I know, rather short, but it is only an introduction.

It's actually an idea I've had for quite a while now.

See you next chapter.
