Tenchi Muyo Saga One: Fate of Empires

Epilogue

By RingPrincess

The scarlet gem in D3's forehead glowed gently as he made his face appear into Tokimi's dimension. She had summoned him again from his watching.

"When will things be ready, D3?" Her voice was childlike.

D3 couldn't bow or lower his eyes like he should as he was only a face, but he managed to sound sufficiently humble. "Shortly milady. Your sisters make their moves."

"What of the boy?"

D3 didn't speak for several moments. He stared at the stars until he could find something suitably neutral. "Things have changed."

"With the boy?" Tokimi's sweet tones rose in inquiry. "How odd."

"We cannot explain it, though everything with this boy is odd."

"There are many things you cannot explain," a third voice said from nearby. A young man strode from the shadows. His face was marked with the green leaves like his Lady's, strangely going well with his bright teal hair and lilac eyes. "And frankly, I tire of it."

"You tire of a lot of things, very quickly." D3's voice was heavy and he sighed. "Time, events, places are all changing rapidly." He paused. "You must understand that for our plans to come to pass, events-"

"Yeah, yeah." Z grimaced. "I've heard it before." He ran a hand through his hair, his fingers passing over the two locks that were the same color as his eyes.

"Then why haven't you listened?" Tokimi's voice was clipped. "All of the trouble that I went to save you." She sighed.

Z glared at the goddess. "I want to meet him."

"You shall meet him, one day." Tokimi narrowed her eyes.

Z's face froze and he looked away from her. Clearly thinking about something and not very happy about his conclusions. D3 watched, blue metallic eyes could not show emotion and he was glad of it, but he was worried.

"His power?" Tokimi paused. "The boy only has three blades still?"

D3 returned his focus to Tokimi. He served her willingly, something she was apt to forget. "Three blades only, my lady. He has not matured-"

"Then this dimension is still good for our plans." She waved a hand, dismissing him and whatever his words would have been.

D3 vanished from her sight. His surrogate gem going dark, but remained there until he was called again. He didn't technically reappear anywhere, just transferred his consciousness to another gem. He acknowledged the space vista and its brightly outlined figures with a corner of his attention. His thoughts were still on the face of an angry young man. The brows furrowed, jaw clenched, arms crossed and not looking at what had once been the center of his universe.
