Hi! This is my first story so give me any constructive criticism so I can make them better ^.^ This is a Soul Calibur fanfic, the pairing is my favorite SC couple; Raphael x Cassandra 3

Chapter 1: flashback

As the rolling cool grey clouds blotch the navy blue sky of Romania, with the full, honey colored moon as an all seeing eye that watches over the thick forests and a lone castle that sits there for hundreds of years as if it has seen and been through all that has happened on the land it sits upon. A dark figure that's sitting on the cold, stony frame looks deep into the night sky, as a winter chill gently hits his ivory white face…his red wine eyes closed to contain moisture from the wind, eyes that were closed to contain the madness that was slowly consuming him into a horrific being that was no longer welcomed on this earth. His short, golden locks danced along with the breeze as he got up and walked away form the window and out of his room, thinking to himself; 'What woman who's idiotic enough will spend the rest of their life with me; that, and looking after Amy…' .

Raphael Sorel trotted down the aged, stone steps to his study, to think to himself in a warm area. He was stressed for a while now with something that kept pestering his mind and body, something that Amy had asked him a couple of days ago.

Flashback

Amy was sparring with her father in the practice room, of course Amy kept losing every single match. But as she was fighting she stopped at mid-attack because something crossed her mind this has been happening lately for sometime now. Her father leaned back to avoid the blow from his beloved daughter, and he noticed that she stopped. As a loving father he was naturally worried about this and stopped the spar.

"Amy, what has been troubling you lately?" asked Raphael as he walked towards his daughter.

"…father…May I ask you something…?" the pig tailed wearing teenager asked her father more than answering his question.

"Yes what is it?"

"Why don't I have a mother…?"

"…"

Obviously he was too stunned for words to answer the question that his 13 year old daughter had asked him. So he tried to answer the best he could…by asking her another question.

"Well Amy that is a strange question to ask. Is there a reason that you have asked me this…this…bizarre question?"

"In fact there is a reason father. I have always seen you moping around the house like a dog that wants to be put out of its misery." said Amy as she was giving her servant her rapier to put away somewhere.

"Now Amy-"

"And you seem to be yelling at the servants a lot lately too, plus you moan and growl in your sleep during the wee hours in the mourning…" Amy said while interrupting her father while he was trying to get an answer out.

Raphael was trying so hard to give an answer to his daughter, but Amy had him on lockdown with the accusations. Thus he told her that he was thinking of a certain woman that would be her mother. He shouldn't have done that because he has raised his daughter's hopes up that she'll see her mother. So now he'll have to set out on a quest to find him a woman that is willing to love Amy as her own. That shouldn't be too hard for him because he could swoon a whole village a wenches, and crones. He set the date that he'll get the woman to be his beloved daughter's mother.

End of Flashback

"Damn, I don't know where to start with this situation…" Raphael said while cursing at himself. He casually went to Amy's room to se if she was sleeping, he didn't want to wake her up when he left to find the woman for him. When Raphael was preparing to leave he told the servants to take care of Amy for a few days when he was gone. Then the blonde stopped in his tracks, about a few steps to the front castle doors, and laughed. He laughed like he had heard the funniest joke in his life.

"HA! Wait a minute, why am I packing? I don't need these insolent supplies for survival…I'm practically immortal for heavens sake…" retorted the blonde.

Finally Raphael set out to find his daughter's mother, into the night he goes to find his mate so she can satisfy his urges…
