-----------------------------------------

A creature walked alone in the dark forest. This creature was a shape-shifter one of the last of his kind, hunted til near extinction, he escaped with his young son to this forbiding place, but that was long ago. His name was Ryou, and was once one of the greatest trainers in the universe in the art of Ki, and Sakurifaisu his own martial arts style. His son Maenial was the very last of his kind, and was the Guardian Dragon meaning if a a human wanted him to be there protetor they must and would be bound to him or her for life, this was a curse and a blessing. Maenial ran in front of his father and chased some insects weaving in and out of the large tree's. He and Maenial prefered there human forms but in case of an attack chose the much favored dragon form. Being a shape-shifter was a tremendous burden, they frightened humans and were shunned by dragons, so they kept to themselves in solitude.
"Maenial" Ryou shouted
"What did you find?" His son was staring at something on the ground.
'Probably another traitor' He thought
"Dad, I think its a little person"
Ryou stopped.
'Maybe the phrophecy has come true'
He walked over and saw the small girl, and picked her up. Finally he would be redeemed.
------------------------------------
"WHERE ARE THEY!" Cirius struck Titus with the whip.
"I don't know!" Titus yelled at the man
"Hm...maybe this will change your mind" He laughed
Titus stared at him, blood running down his back and arms, his shreaded clothing stuck to his beaten body.
"My assassin has just come back, sadly your wife and daughter are dead" He snickered
"WHAT!" Titus shouted his eyes lowered to the ground.
"Why...them...she was just a child"
"Hmph...if you only knew...what that child holds..."
"If I ever get my hands on you..."
"You'll what?"
"So where are the boys?"
"..."
"Tell me and I'll let them and you live in peace"
"Goto the Throne room there is a secret passage behind the back table"
"Thank you" He snickered
"Finish Him"
"WHAT, don't you dare touch them!" Titus shouted struggling with the guards
"I won't, I need an heir don't I?" Cirius laughed and walked away
"I just wanna hold my baby girl one more time" Titus slumped, the chains crashing on the cold floor, as a needle full of a bright green liquid was injected into his arm.
"Toss Him outside, don't want him to stink up the place." One of the guards laughed.
---------------------------------
Well that had been almost 11 years ago, Ryou had taken the soon to be savior of the universe and trained her and Maenial together, by human terms he was 112 but looked about 19. Ryou's health however was failing, his time was drawing near and he needed to finish his training with Makoto. The now 15 year old Women was about 5'6'' 1/2, Brown-Blonde Hair that was cut 2 inches below her shoulders, she had a fairly dark complexion and was very fit. To Ryou's dismay, his son had grown quite attached to his childhood "sister" and was starting to act like the typical teenage male.
"Only five more minutes" Ryou smiled.
He had the two young warriors standing on very high, very thin poles just barely big enough for one foot, and had them wearing a 150 lb backpack.
"We've been doing this now for 3 hours" Maenial shouted
"Baby" Mako playfully teased
Maenial smirked and laid down on the top of the pole and braced himself with two hands.
"O.K. this feels better!" He laughed
Mako grinned and did the same but with one hand.
"Show OFF" He yelled
"And?"
"O.K. time" Ryou called as the hoped down.
She now knew of her destiny, her being a princess and guardian and why she was here in the first place.
But now they had a plan for escape. As every shape-shifter dies, the person with him recieves two wishes. Ryou didn't tell them that today would be the day.
"Go on and fetch some wood for the fire" He barked
The did as they were told and went on the hunt.
"Koji" Ryou groaned
He flashed in front of Ryou.
"I've said it before you know I can't take her out of here...whats the matter?"
"Its time for me to move on..."
"What?"
"Mako's done with her training...she's ready"
"What are you talking about?"
"My time on this planet is done..."
Koji nodded.
"Talk to them" And with that he was gone.
"Find any wood yet?" Maenial asked Makoto
"Nope, well not any that we can burn"
"Oh..." Maenial walked towards her
"So that was pretty intense today huh?"
"Yea" Mako looked up at him
"Hey are you feeling okay?"
"Do you ever think about love Mako?"Maenial asked
"Its not at the top of my list why?"
Maenial grinned and planted a kiss on Mako, who surprisingly kissed him back.
"MAENIAL! Come here I need to speak with you" Ryou exclaimed
The two warriors broke the kiss and turned a deep crimson color, and slunk back to find there master.
"Koji and I must talk to you"
"My time is drawing near..."
"What" Maenial asked
"Its my time to move on...and Maenial you must become Mako's Gaurdian"
"Woah, whats going on?" Mako asked
"I'm gonna get you two out of this forest"
"But father..."
"No...when I die, I'll grant one wish, you must wish for you to be able to leave this place"
"But what about Maenial?" Mako asked starting to panic.
"Son, you know what you must do"
Maenial nodded.
"Makoto do you want me as your Guardian Dragon?"
"Yes"
"Then so be it"
He smiled and disapeered in a whirl of smoke.
"Wait! Where did he go?"
"The holy land, where all dragons go, there he will wait until you need him" Ryou started to cough.
"Now, don't worry about me and make your wish"
Tears started to flow down the hardened warriors face as she wished.
"I wish I was out of this forest"
Then a path of light lite up the forest floor.
"Follow it"
She followed until the light stopped, she walked through and out onto a dirt path, and bumped into something.
"Stop!" A man said
"Who goes there?"
As her vision cleared she saw a group of men.
"My names Makoto"
The group fell silent.
"I've been trapped in this forest for 11 years, and have come back to reclaim the Jovian throne.
Two men of the group stepped forward, a blonde and a brunette both had similar attributes.
"It is you!"
"Your back!"
They ran and gave her a hug.
"Kanuki? Jedite?"
"But how?"
"I'll explain later"
"...what happened..." Mako looked around the obviously war-torn country side.
"Theres been a war going on for 8 years now...well explain later..now come with us" Kanuki said.
