Between Eden and Hell

Prologue – I must see for myself.
A young man with black hair tied in a queue emerged from the greenery of his garden and sat on the edge of a glass fountain and stared at the water flowing. In frustration, his eyebrows twitched and he sighed deeply as a young man with blond hair walked towards him with an expression of worry all over his face.
"But you must not go down to the human realm," his friend advised. "Even you yourself have told us not to go there."
"…"The Chinese man remained motionless as he continued to stare at the water flowing before him. He didn't even blink his eyes.
"I understand what you want to do." The blond young man sat down a few feet away from his friend and looked down to the ground while folding his hands. "I was even the one who told you that this was the best choice for the given situation."
"I know, but I have to see this for myself." He then turned to his concerned friend. "But I cannot just stay here any longer. I must know what is going on."
"Humans are weak…" the blond firmly said as he turned his head towards his black-haired friend. "This is what you told me, Wufei. This is what you've told everyone here."
"But I must find out why there are goddesses and gods wanting to fall." It was then that the look of contemplation left Wufei as he got up and looked at his advisor straight in the face. "Why would they risk being mere humans? I don't understand this and so I'm going down to the human realm to find out, Quatre."
Quatre sighed as he shook his head. "There are some things that even precede us."
Wufei shook his head as he walked away with a resolve that wouldn't be broken even by Quatre's warnings. "I am the ruler of everything that exists. All these realms are mine, so there is nothing that can escape me."
Tap, tap, tap…
Wufei confidently walked away with his shoes tapping lightly, yet firmly on the white tile floor.
At that moment, Quatre patted his chest, over where his heart should have been. "I hope that you're right, Wufei."
But there was something bothering Quatre's heart about this whole business. Despite the fact that he was the court's main advisor and pre-recognitionist, he wished that this time he was wrong.
Wufei didn't look back at Quatre, but he knew that his advisor was staring at him with the same worried expression that came upon his face whenever there was cause for Wufei to go out and investigate for himself whatever was going on.
First it was the vegetation. The fields of the humans were not giving enough harvest.
Second was all the rain that should have come around the autumn season. The list went on and on.
At first, Wufei would order certain low-ranking gods and goddesses to go and check out what were the problems of the Earth. They would fulfill their duties and roam around an island called Japan.
Unfortunately, these gods and goddesses would stay longer and longer on Earth. It became such a problem that Wufei himself had to come and return them back to the Heavens.
And now, Wufei wanted to experience what was so interesting about the Earth he had always watched.
"It is different, my lord," one goddess had said to him while he tried to convince her to return to his court. "It's so much different from watching…"
He let that woman go and she did as she pleased, but he still didn't comprehend what she had said. From an intellectual level, he understood all things for he had created them.
What he did was observe all this time. Now, he wanted to survey this land with his curiosity getting the best of him though he wouldn't let it engulf him entirely.
Wufei wanted to see with his own eyes what he imagined and touch with his hands what he created.
Most of all, he just needed to see this island called Japan…

Descending to the Earth, Wufei, the Dragon of Heaven, changed his form to that of a fish.
While swimming in the ocean, he surveyed the deep waters as the presence of Amaterasu's rays played on the surface of the sea. He was trying to find his way towards the shore so that he could change his form once more.
As he was watching a school of fish swim by, they scattered for a moment as a wooden boat was coming towards them. Before he could get away, Wufei saw the face of the fisherman before the fisherman gashed a spear into his eye…
"Oh no!" Quatre mumbled as he watched the oracle before him. "I have to save his spirit before he's reincarnated!"
Quatre left the oracle and ran towards his room to find his cloak so that he could transport himself to Earth. But by the time he had gotten to Wufei, Wufei's spirit had already left.
Quatre sighed as he looked at the empty seashore and stood on the surface of the sea with his feet and clothing becoming wetter and wetter.
It was then that he crouched down and took a little of the seawater into the cup of his palm and looked at it. "What will happen to everything without you?"

Author's note: I don't know why I had this image in my head. But ever since I went to my theatre class, I just had to write this fic. I don't know where it's going, but I hope it isn't too terrible. ^^;;;;
I haven't written another Gwing fic for three years, so I hope that I'm able to get into the swing of things fairly quickly. ^_^ Also, I'm not used to writing AU's, so please bear with me.
