This story is not complete. Several parts are in italics, and the formatting for FanFiction.net does not allow "..." sentences for some reason. I've had problems like this in the past, but have decided not to mess with it. The story does not need these, although they do help with the impact of emotion. Besides, any adept reader should recognize the places they are to be used.

"The Legendary Beast" was originally written for a fan fiction contest at an anime convention. It didn't place, but it certainly didn't get last, for which I am glad. I hope that, in the future, I can better my writing, and I feel I've learned a great deal from writing this story.

I hope that you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Feel free to review it-constructive criticism is always welcome.
