Authors Notes: Well, I think I'm gonna try my hand at a Dynasty Warriors
fic. Don't kill me! This is my first real try at a DW fic...so if you don't
like it...umm...don't read it? Anyway, this story is not going to follow
the actually story...except for the characters and battles. I'm just going
to switch some things around that's all. This is based on my favorite
character of my fav kingdom. I won't give that away just yet.
Well...On to the story! Enjoy!
Guardian of the Sun.
I watched as Cao Cao's fleet burned. General Zhou Yu had scored the greatest victory of his life. We had won, and Cao Cao lost, fleeing like a true coward. I watched as our soldiers began to cheer, as the generals raised their weapons in triumph. Huang Gai smirked even though he had been injured with an arrow; his and Zhou Yu's ploy had worked.
Gan Ning chased away the remaining Wei soldiers, Lu Mend behind him, trying to get him to stop. Master Cheng stood leaning on his Serpent Spear, tired from the endless battle. I continued glancing to each and every one of my comrades, and then I turned to my leader who stood upon the hill also watching the Wei soldiers run. Yes, this was our victory. The battle at Chi Bi would be the turning point, and Wu would now destroy Wei.

That was a few years ago...
My lord Sun Quan had now began to make preparations for us to attack Wei from two different directions. Lord Zhou Yu had once said Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei would be a great threat to Wu, but Wu and Shu had formed an alliance and even Zhou Yu realized that now was not the time to attack Shu. So Zhou Yu had not tried anything against Shu, and turned his attentions to fighting Wei in the Jing Province.
Now we were preparing for battle at a castle called He Fei, where to my objections, my lord was leading the attack. Lord Zhou Yu would lead an assault against Wei in Jing and the force from Jian Ye would march for He Fei.
If Lord Sun Quan was to go, then I was sure to follow. Jiang Qin and Gan Ning, my closest friends had always called me a loyal pup, tied to my masters leash. But it was my duty, even when I first joined Wu; Lord Sun Ce had made me a bodyguard to his younger brother. And I faithfully followed every order, every command I was given.
Even if it cost me the use of my left eye. The large scar that marked itself upon my face had taken away the use of my eye. Though I could still open and close it, I could no longer see out of it. Many generals said I was handicapped, that I would never be useful on the battlefield again.
But I remembered my days as a pirate, I saw other cultures, I began to meditate as I remembered other warriors doing. Though my vision was hindered by half, I began to become more in tune with sounds and other senses. My skills only grew as time went on. And now I am the personal bodyguard of my lord Sun Quan.
I am Zhou Tai, loyal servant to Wu. I had gone into battles, risking my body for the sake of my lord and my comrades. I risked myself every time I was on the battlefield, but after so many injuries and so many battles...I had forgotten how pain felt, I no longer knew pain.
I looked upon myself, in one of the many robes lord Sun Quan had given me. I looked down at my arms and shoulders; hundreds of cuts from arrows and blades marked my skin. I looked upon my chest, which was covered with many scars. I no longer remember how many scars covered my body. It seems I had always gotten myself injured during battle, but it was for the sake of my lord.
I remember once, Jiang Qin had sat with me after a battle, he said he saw me take an arrow for lord Sun Quan. Then he fondly called me "The Guardian of the Sun." That title always had remained in my head, and it gave me the only pride I had ever felt in my life.
I awoke from my brooding and made my way outside, where I saw the other generals either with their troops or around their tents talking to one another. The first general I spotted was Jiang Qin, who sat quietly outside his tent studying more scrolls lord Sun Quan had given him.
Then there was Gan Ning, who was making some sort of trouble. Apparently he had gotten drunk again, and was waving his sword wildly in the air mumbling something about his past days as a pirate.
Lu Meng sat with his arms crossed watching Gan Ning from his own tent. He looked tired, as if he too had been studying for many hours. Sun Quan had given Lu and Jiang some of his scrolls and manuals and told them to study. Now they were much better warriors because of it.
Master Cheng Pu was patrolling around the tents, making sure everything was secure. His Serpent Spear gripped tightly in his hand. It always seemed when Master Cheng walked by he commanded an air of authority and respect. As he rightly deserved, he was one of the best warriors of Wu, and a veteran general with experience. He had served three generations of the Sun Family, as Huang Gai had as well. Both warriors were truly respected in the Wu camp.
I sat in front of my tent and my thoughts began to wander. The other generals treated each other with respect and kindness, why was it then...many did not treat me the same? Other then lord Sun Quan, Gan Ning, and Jiang Qin, the other generals had tried to stay away from me.
When Gan was actually in a serious mood, he always told me that I was very intimidating. Were they scarred of me? Were they angry? I smirked under my helmet, I would always remain loyal to lord Sun Quan and Wu, and my comrades...but the question was...would they remain loyal to me?
I turned when I heard more voices, and I quickly narrowed my eyes in confusion. I had always wondered why this warrior wanted to fight.
"Lady Sun." I said quietly as she passed my tent, she turned and smiled. "Zhou Tai, are you well? Feel like sparing?" I shook my head and declined her offer. She smiled anyway. "Oh well, later." She had always reminded me of Lord Sun Ce, she was not as serious as the other warriors were. She had a sense of arrogance and independence that no one could seem to break.
I watched her walk away, she was the Princess of Wu, but she had finally gotten her brother to allow her to fight in the coming battle as a warrior. She truly had a warrior's spirit, and she had talent.
But lord Sun Quan still feared for his sister, and he turned to me. Jiang Qin was right, I wasn't just a guard for lord Sun Quan...in the coming battle I will have to be a guard for the Sun Family. Lord Sun Quan is enough to protect, now I also have to guard Lady Sun Shang Xiang.
For the first time in my life, I dreaded going into battle.
End Notes: This chap pretty much sets up the plot and describes the setting. Basically Zhou Yu never tried to kill Liu Bei, which in turn he never died. Also means Sun Quan never offered SSX for marriage. So she's a warrior...Zhou Tai's a depressed bodyguard set to baby-sit both of the Sun's.
Next Chap will have battle of He Fei...Enter my fav Wei character...Zhang Liao And a little twist...
You'll have to find out...read...review...flame me if you want...I'm tough I can take it. Real quick note...I will be focusing a lot on Zhou Tai...and even on the unnamed generals. Like Jianq Qin and Cheng Pu...cause those are cool characters...that I don't get to play as in the game!!! All right I'm out.
