On Dreams and Strength
The first fic by the Blind Sage.
The story so far: This story takes place about 10 years after the events of the Trigun series; Vash (now going under the name Eriks, which will be what he is referred to in this fic) is married with Meryl. They have had no children, though, for fear of the child being half Plant. The years have passed and Vash The Stampede is thought to be dead as is Millions Knives. Eriks and Meryl have settled down to a fairly uneventful life and Eriks has hung up the red coat and put down the gun for good. It is a Sunday afternoon and both suns are burning bright as the story begins.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of Trigun, if I did, why would I be hanging out with you guys writing fanfics? :-)

On Dreams and Strength
Chapter one: Out of the Blue
Lying in the sand, a child, around the age of six, with short silver hair and deep gray-blue eyes wakes up. "Where am I? Who am I? And why is it so hot here?" A thousand questions swam in the young child's mind as he came to. He realized he was alone in this vast desert with its twin sun mercilessly barring down on him. He sat up, checking his surroundings for a sign of human life. He found nothing but sand. But as he looked closer, out on the horizon, he could make out a town, a very small town, but a town nonetheless. He wandered in the direction of the beacon of hope that was that little town.
As he scanned the area of his little nameless town, Eriks noticed a faint glimmer out in the desert. As he reached for his binoculars to see what it was, he became worried.
"Maybe it's Knives, maybe he's not dead. NO! I saw him die, I did all I could to save him but I watched as he died in my arms. It can't be him."
What he saw surprised him more, it was a child! Barely moving, but he could tell the kid was still alive. He had to move fast, or the boy would die out there! Eriks jumped in his car and sped out to rescue the kid. As he pulled close to him in the car, he could make out his features more clearly, shaggy brown hair, somewhat tan skin, and casual clothing not at all suited to desert travel, of course, nothing was really that suited to walking through the desert. He got out of the car and raced towards the barely living child. He lifted the young boy up into the car and sped home.
"You say he was all alone in the desert?" asked Meryl.
"Yes, there was no sign of his parents or an accident, just him." Was
Eriks' reply.
"So, do you think he was abandoned?" "I'm not quite sure, we should probably take him in for now, Meryl." "A child?! Us, take care of a child? We can hardly take care of ourselves with the money I make, let alone a child!" "But Meryl, he probably has no family, and even if he did, we couldn't find them" ". *sigh* I guess you're right, Eriks. We should take him in." **************************************************************************** **************** Sooooooo, what'd ya think of the first chapter? I think it turned out great for my first Trigun fic! ^_^ Please review, I need feedback! Oh, and any help at all would be greatly appreciated! Pls send a PM my way if you want to help out! Love and Peace!,
