axskindness1 Author's Note: I wrote this story in December last year, mainly to experiment on what Ax could become, I ended up doing so much more. Two new characters were born, a new Ax and a new Rachel. Rachel has been affected by extreme power (she's the vice president of what in 2020 is the Earth Union) like so many people through out the world. Ax is the only 'person' that sees it. But he has to choose between saving the human race and risking being called 'kind' and being the noble Andalite prince he's always wanted to be. This story is what developed from what these characters developed into (developed x2?). Rachel is a nut case and Ax is a moron. Not much difference between the books is there? About the prologue, I was just showing what happened at the birth of good ol' Aximilli and so explaining the story line. Speaking of which, I'd like to thank Momo-Clause for giving me the name of Ax's parents. Trust me, it was so stupid at first I was using the names 'Ax's Dad' instead of Noorlin and 'Ax's mom' instead of Forlay (still, I can't believe his mom is called Forlay). Uh oh, I'm beginning to write an author's not longer that the fic itself! Oops, gotta run! Gem.

AXIMILLI'S KINDNESS - Prologue: Prophecies

To find integrity,
one must gaze at the gone by.

1985 (Our years)

And a child was born...
Noorlin-Sirinial-Cooraf smiled, grateful that his new born son was healthy, What shall we name him?> he asked his spouse.
Well,> Forlay-Esgarouth-Maheen replied, I thought we could...> she was interrupted by a loud bang on the door.
Father! I need to talk to you!> the voice screamed from outside.
Come in, Elfangor!> Noorlin answered. A very fatigued Elfangor entered the room. What is it son?> Noorlin asked.
I... I ran here as fast as I could. The prophets ... they're spreading rumors about the newborn ... they say he is the bringer of darkness!> Elfangor said all to fast. They will be here any minute! There's a mob ... practically. We need to take all our belongings and run, or they will harm us ...or worse!>
No, stand fast. If we run, we shall never be able to stop.>
You are right, Noorlin,> Forlay said, we must try and talk to them.>
But will they listen?> Elfangor asked silently.

Noorlin stood in front of angry protesting Andalites, trying to explain that the child was not the bringer of darkness. Elfangor stood behind his father to give him support. While Forlay was at home nursing the newborn.
The child is only three days old. How can he possibly be the bringer of darkness?>
An old Andalite replied, Noorlin, surely you know the prophecies say the bringer of darkness was to be born exactly three days ago, at the exact same minute as your very own son?>
Surely you can not believe ancient prophecies! We are Andalites, for goodness sake! Do you really think religion and prophecies,> he repeated prophecies to make sure everyone heard the disgust in his voice, have brought us to where we are today? Science brought us here, not some silly prophecy!>
Tell us, what is the child name?> the old Andalite asked, ignoring Noorlin's statement.
We ... we are not sure, but I'd sure love it to be Aximilli-Esgarouth-Istill!>
There was murmuring in the crowd, then the old Andalite spoke up, The prophecy is as follows ... 'A child shall be born. Do to us as his father does. Traitor he shall be, love for man shall destroy him His name is ... Aximilli'.> There were gasps and shrieks from the crowd. But Noorlin remained calm.
You ... the prophecy said, 'do to us as his father does,' what is it I have done?> he asked.
You come from the family of Seerow, do you not?>
Noorlin couldn't answer, he knew the truth. What have I done? He asked himself. He felt truly shattered.
