Location: Drachma

"Urgh.. so... cold..."

"Wait.." I felt like I was trapped in a void of screams; I had no idea how long I had been there; only that in my time in the unconscious land, I had company. At some point, we both became aware of one another; I sized him (definitely a he) up, as he did for me, but unfortunately, neither of us had the answers the other wanted. Who we were as people. I knew that my name was Ling Yao (sounded unusual to me... still need to work out where I come from) and my house guest said the only name that came forward for him... was Greed. Our only memory... was our chat in my head (yes, that does sound as strange as it does to me as well) and now, waking up here. In the freezing cold.

"Bloody hell! kid, what were you thinking?! you need to plan for better weather!" Greed huffed and we gave an involuntary shiver.

"Enough about my dress sense, how about we deal with the immediate problems?" I had to admit, he had a point. The fact that the voice in my head... (was in fact in my head, without an apparent body of his own, though we established the fact that he was a different person and that I was in fact not suffering from multiple personalities, like the emperor was though...t wait.. where did that come from?!

I shakily got to my feet, lurching back as I felt us sink further into the snow. I looked down at myself, I had long black hair tied back with something.. felt like a white tie of some sort; and a real bad ass looking black outfit. I couldn't help but think it was something he chose; not me. I then lost my balance again, and suddenly we both went flying, seemingly plummeting down this icy cove.

"Dammit! are you fucking serious?!" Greed snarled, and suddenly I felt really strange; my body was changing; a weird looking substance traveling up and down my arms... over me. The next thing we knew, we were falling.

The drop into this strange embankment was a rather large one; one that no person should have survived. Yet somehow, Greed had a freaky power; that protected me... protected us both. We survived.

"Oww... what was that?!" I exclaimed.

"No idea kid; but it saved our sorry ass"

"Look Greed... can you stop calling me kid? you and I are probably the same age!"

Greed snorted. "Yeah, and snakes can fly, I think I am the one with a brain here"

"Oh really?!" I went to hit him... then it occurred to me.

"Oh... yeah; well who is to say you aren't just a figment of my imagination, made by me to protect myself from going mad; from having no memory; no food... (my stomach gave an agreeing growl at this statement) and having been out here in the freezing cold for so long!" I gave a triumphant laugh, wondering what he thought of that".

"Hahaha... ah you have some guts kid, but there is one flaw in your plan"

"Oh?"

"Would you have been able to make that cool shieldy thing come up?!"

"Oi..." I hated to admit it... he had a point.

"Well... seen as we have now established that we are both here, nobody else is going to believe it... so if we find anyone else... our name is... Prince.." Wait, why prince?

"Don't know, I just feel it's part of my name somehow"

"Eh fine, whatever kid... just... I have it!"

"Oh?"

"I shall name us... Greeling!"

"Why do you have to go first?!"

"Because I'm cooler!"

I wanted to protest, but I sadly got robbed of the opportunity when several men appeared out of nowhere, wearing really thick furs and pointing what appeared to be dangerous looking weapons. We were surrounded.

"Surrender spy, or you will die!"

WN: Widens eyes: Review please? :)
