On a world filled with darkness and ancient ruins, a sudden flash of flame Shoots into the sky heralding the arrival of a man who seemed as unchangeable as the world of ruins around him. The man was muscular and seemed to have the build of a seasoned fighter. His hair the color of pure silver falls down his back in a lose pony tail. His face is regal looking even with the scars that run diagonally along his high cheekbones or the slight nick in his narrow and pointed nose. His eye's, even filled with the weariness of the horrors he has seen created by his own hands and others, are alight with a inner fire that make their red irises shine brightly in the darkness of this realm of shadow and ruin. The man walks with a grace and purpose forged through years of searching many realms for his lost queen's prison and now he was close to finding her again.
The man reached up over his left shoulder and grabbed the hilt of a giant broadsword with a quick yank, pull and then twirl of the wrist he brought the sword in front of him it's blade gave off a bright gleam as if a invisible strand of light in the dark shadows of the realm shone upon the blade. The man swung the blade in a slash to his right before once again sheathing the blade. He gave off no sign of surprise at the thump in the shadows or at the head with a look of shock on its face that rolled to a stop at his feet. The man looked at the face of the head for a second before lifting his black booted foot and letting it fall crushing the head as he continues on his way to one of the more intact ruins.
"I'm coming Metallia."

Tenchi woke up groggily sitting up in the western style bed Washu had put in his room and tried to spot what woke him. Not seeing the Space Pirate Ryoko and the Jurai Princess Ayeka waging bloody war against each other he shrugged his shoulders and was about to go back to sleep when he heard the sound of someone crying.
His curiousness wining out over the need to sleep Tenchi throws his feet over the edge of the bed and slips on a pair of Ryo ohki slippers, Sasami had made for his birthday, and walks over to his bedroom door. Tenchi quietly opens his door and walks out into the hallway looking down the right side of the hall way he sees Ryoko and Ayeka both snoring away. The two girls seemed to be sleeping with their backs too each other
"Well I'll give them this their both beautiful when they are asleep." stepping around the two girls while being careful not to wake them he walks down the stairs into the living room. Sliding open the glass door that leads outside. Tenchi finds himself embraced by a warm summers breeze but with it comes a chill because of the soft sobs that are carried on it. Following the noise leads him up the stairs to his grandfathers shrine. Walking up to the door Tenchi reaches his hand to slide it open
"Tenchi stop your grandfather needs tonight alone"
Tenchi Jumps back startled by the sudden voice whirling around he sees Ryoko's head sticking out from the earth near him. Her whole body soon came next as she floated out of the earth floating over to him Ryoko grabs his arm and starts dragging him away towards the lake.
"Ryoko stop let me go whats going on with grandpa whys he crying. RYOKO." Ryoko stops just short of going into the lake. Tenchi Your grandfather didn't just chase me here out of over glorified male pride that I attacked Jurai. "No he chased me here out of love."
"You mean grandpa was in love with you."
"NO YOU IDIOT" Ryoko takes a moment to calm down and keep from strangling the boy she loves.
"Tenchi it was not just Ayeka Yosho was promised to marry. Along time ago this solar system used to be the domain of two kingdoms the Earth Kingdom and the Moon kingdom. Your grandpa was engaged to the princess of the Earth both loved each other but when they where engaged things went down hill because the Earth princess saw Yosho as a pervert when she found out his sister was included in the deal."
"News of a war between the Earth and the Moon had just reached Jurai when Ryoko attacked"
Tenchi nearly jumped ten feet in the air when his grandfather spoke from behind him. "I used it as my reason to leave Jurai behind to find and help my love. Ryoko was just going to try and lose me in the battles between earth and the moon."
"Yeah would of worked to if there was a battle going on but no such luck by the time we got here the war was done seeing my chance to lose the annoying fly known as your grandfather disappear I turned to fight. Well you know how that ended up."
"After I fought Ryoko and locked her in the cave. I left to find any clues on what happened. But all I could find out was the capital was lost to the ocean and with it anyone who could really tell me what happened or build a ship to get me back home. I found out latter I was only partially wrong. one day I ran into a old fish monger who was saying how good the old days where and how the princess of Atlantis would always stop by his shop I asked the old man if he knew what happened to her. He told me how she was assassinated by the moon kingdom.
So twenty years after the start of my quest I returned to this valley where me and Ryoko fought to hopefully wait till old age claimed me so I could see my fiancé but it never did and I almost went straight to Funaho with a Axe when I found out she was still keeping my life span long but stayed my hand because that tree was all that was left of my old life.
So that day I built a shrine for my beloved fiancé Heh even if she thought me a pervert I still love her with all my heart. And that is how this shrine came about. Any way it is late Tenchi and you need to go to bed. Unless you and Ryoko have something else in mind Yosho says with a sly grin the boys way. Then laughs as Ryoko starts chasing the boy toward the house. Yosho turns to look at the lake for a minute "I miss you my sweet Ranko " he quietly says before turning away and walking towards the shrine.
