(Must find title)
Missie here. This is my second attempt at a fanfiction, and the first chapter in what I hope will be a
continually growing epic. Can't think of a title right now, if anyone has any suggestions please e-mail me at
ellenly@eircom.net, same goes for criticisms and ideas.
Few notes: 3+4 yaoi, 1+2 and I haven't decided what to do with Wufei yet. Set during medieval times, AU
and complete fantasy. Alicorns are Unicorns with wings, but most of the information in this fic about them
is pure visual speculation on my part. (I'm an illustrator masquerading as a writer.) The Tuatha De Danann
are a legendary faery clan from Irish mythology. Enough of my bantering, on with the fic!
Warnings: Yaoi, will be explicit, might add lemon later, rape attempt, bestiality(sort of, will explain
later.)that's it, I think.
P.S. I don't own Gundam Wing, maybe someday I will, but for now they are pawns in my little game!
Duo Maxwell crashed through the forest canopy, leaving a trail of colorful language in his wake. He had
been walking through this overgrown ditch for three days, and there was still no sign of a clearing.
"You've really dug yourself into a nice little pit, here, buddy. You just had to show off, didn't you?"
He shuddered, remembering the lecherous stares those men had given him, the catcalls still ringing loudly
in his ears. Now he was stuck in this stupid forest, miles from civilization, because he couldn't keep his
face hidden.
Frustrated by the turn of events, and being surrounded by nothing but green, green and more stinking
GREEN, he screamed into the trees.
"What's with all the GREEN? AND IT'S TOO DAMN QUIET!!!!!!!"
As if it had heard him, the forest canopy seemed to recede, and Duo heard the rush of a river ahead of him.
He was so tired and thirsty he didn't think that this was even a little unusual.
He shortly arrived at the river, and removed the hood that cast a shadow over his beautiful face. The mark
on his forehead reacted to exposure to the sunlight after so long in the dark, and lit up the small, dim
clearing. It closely resembled the letter X, but was surrounded by interlacing and dots of color. After
quenching his thirst, he opened his small backpack and pulled out the food he had managed to acquire
before he was forced to leave the last city. And finally, he fell into a peaceful slumber.
Duo woke up close to midnight, disturbed by sounds of splashing coming from the river. Rubbing his tired
violet eyes, he decided to investigate. Before he did, he tucked his long braid if chestnut hair into his hood
and made sure that his face was well hidden. He then proceeded to stalk whatever was at the river from the
bushes. In the darkness, he could make out the figure of something that resembled a horse, or maybe a deer.
The canopy had receded a little away from the clearing, and suddenly the clouds in the night sky dissipated
and a full moon cast a silver light into the forest. The figure in the river was bathed in an eerie white glow.
Duo's half-asleep eyes snapped fully opened when he realized what he was looking at.
A Unicorn.
Possibly the only immortal besides Duo himself left on earth, and Duo had come across it by mistake. He
tried to get a better look, and accidentally stepped on a twig under his foot, which caused a loud snap to
reverberate around the clearing. The Unicorn's sensitive ears picked up the noise, and it wheeled around to
point its horn in Duo's general direction. It's huge turquoise eyes flashed dangerously, and its mane
fluttered like a flag in the breeze that seemed to have come from nowhere. However, Duo noted, it looked
more like it was going to bolt than stay and fight. Its body resembled that of an antelope rather than a horse,
slender and obviously built for speed. Duo tetantively prepared to approach the animal, only to find that as
soon as he stepped out of the foliage, it had fled.
" Oh, well" Duo sighed " if I survive this war, maybe I can come back and look for it." He shrugged
nonchalantly, but was fighting back tears of frustration. " The only other immortal left on earth, and I
scared it away." He thought angrily. He had nearly found a creature that might not treat him with fear, or
scorn. Even the forest animals kept their distance." Might as well keep walking, I'll never get back to sleep
now." So he left the deserted clearing, and the canopy surrounded the river again.
Duo continued crashing through the thick forest, trailing his three-foot long braid behind him. He stopped
suddenly when he heard a faint rustling ahead of him, soon followed by heavy thumps pounding the forest
floor. Looking to the direction of the sounds, he saw a flash of silver and gold pass him, and ducked to
avoid a shredded log thrown towards him. Then, the noises stopped, and a feeling of unease washed over
Duo. He followed the trail of overturned earth and broken trees to a small gully, where he heard several
growls and snorts, accompanied by a frightened whinny.
The Unicorn he had seen last night was surrounded by several hairy creatures, which looked part wolf, part
baboon. Their enormous heads were mostly mouth, huge maws with six rows of jagged yellow fangs,
bright red eyes glowed demonically through matted black fur, and this terrible visage was connected to a
hunched, heavily muscled back, which then extended into powerful haunches. But the really horrible
features of these creatures were their arms, huge bands of muscle wrapped in filthy dark fur, as long as the
entire body and tipped with claws as long as Duo's braid. They stood about sixteen feet altogether, and
dwarfed the Unicorn, who could only be about six feet if it stood on its hind legs. Two of the creatures had
restrained its body, and a third hovered around its neck, as if ready to sink its teeth in if the Unicorn moved.
Duo racked his brain, wondering what these animals wanted with the Unicorn. Did they want to eat it? No,
they would have done it by now if they did. Did they want to take it prisoner? Probably not. Could it have
something to do with its horn? No, they hadn't even glanced at it. He tried to distinguish what they wanted
by looking into the eyes of the obvious leader, and saw reflected in those terrible eyes something he had
come to recognize, because it was something he himself had encountered in every city and town he had
journeyed to.
Lust.
Duo watched with growing fury as the two creatures restraining the Unicorn forced its delicate white
haunches apart, and the leader rose to his full height, unsheathing a huge erection. The Unicorn stood very
still and clenched its eyes shut.
Duo reached into his backpack and removed a small dagger, and after a quick incantation, hurled it into the
eye of the monster. The dagger withdrew itself and flew back into Duo's hand. The creature howled in pain
and Duo felt the surprised stares of eleven pairs of red eyes and one pair of blue. The injured animal lashed
out with its thick arm and caught Duo's leg before he could react. This time he hurled the dagger at its neck
and severed its neck neatly. But before he could recover his weapon, the other creatures surrounded him,
and he watched helplessly as one of them leaped towards him.
The despair in Duo's amethyst eyes change to surprise when the animal froze in mid-air, and flew
backwards to crash into the side of the gully. A flash of gold and white appeared beside him, and before he
knew it he was clutching the Unicorn's silver -streaked golden mane as the animal hurtled with amazing
speed through the forest. After a few minutes, it slowed its pace down to a trot, then stopped and let Duo
down from its back.
Duo barely registered the animal turning concerned aquamarine eyes towards him as he gave into the
fatigue that consumed him.
