Disclaimer: I hate writing these at the start of every chapter, so I will say this once and only once. I do not own Escaflowne, the characters, places, settings and merchandise pertaining to the anime, film or TV series. Ownership of the aforementioned is reserved to Bandai & Sunrise. Neither do I own any recognisable name, brand, real person (living or dead), place, merchandise, logo, band, lyrics, literary works, quotes, movie…put it this way if it's recognisable then chances are that it doesn't belong to me, unless stated otherwise. The following fic, however, is mine. Any similarity to persons (living or dead) and situations (as if) is purely coincidental.

Phew, now that's done I won't be saying it again. I think I've pretty much got myself covered. There would be no use in suing me anyways, I'm a student, therefore I have nothing but the change in my pocket and I intend on spending that on coffee. So ha.

Reviews are welcomed with open arms. But not essential, I'll continue writing it with or without any feedback…unless it turns out really bad. I even like constructive criticism, but not flames. Please don't flame me; I'll only laugh and no one likes being ridiculed.

Rating: 'R' for profanities, gore, battle scenes and possibly adult themes later on, who knows? You have been warned.

Dedications: To the ever patient Izzy. If you're even reading this one. Black Dragon General is on hiatus at the moment. Here's something for you to read in the meantime. I hope you like it!

For my own Darth Vader, you know who you are.

Updates: Don't hold your breath. Sometimes I can take ages to get in gear and update.

On with the show!!
