Hee-hee... I completely forgot about something. So here it goes.

Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing, its characters, etc. Yada yada.

Man, what a total brain fart. Yes, go ahead, sue me for all I'm worth.

Chapter 3

"What a fool! If the Imperial Guards had found her we would be meeting our fate in the gallows!" screamed an incredibly angry Chinese man.

"Wufei, calm yourself. She was not caught and she brought back vital information. Without her, we would still be stuck living in these god-forsaken woods," replied a brown-haired woman.

The smallest of the group sat next to a tree trying not to draw any more attention to herself. Hilde, as the maiden was called, just peered at the Chinese man in anger. Her short hair seemed to dance with the sunlight, turning it a midnight blue. Inappropriately dressed for a young lady her age, it appeared that she was an outlaw, or a hunter. Either way, she would be snubbed by society. She then looked at the older woman. Sally, a kind and gentle soul who traveled the ends of the earth with her companion Wufei. Dressed in a gray frock, she emitted waves of understanding. Born into a struggling family, Sally became a doctor, mostly to raise money, but it was to no avail and now she lived for everyone but herself.

"Fine. Hilde, show me the book," ordered Wufei.

Hilde sat up and slowly handed Wufei the leather bound book full of evil. As Wufei read through it, his eyes showed both his surprise and fury.

"Wufei, what does the book say?" inquired Sally.

"The palace is going to destroy the elfish race," growled out Wufei.

Sally shook her head in anger and Hilde clenched her hands. The three had been taken in by the elves whenever they needed shelter and food. Elves were peaceful and friendly to all those who respected the earth and animals that roamed about. The king of the elves, Milliardo Peacecraft showed hospitality, and his queen, the friendship that helped many travelers. What the three did not know was the underlying cause for the destruction of the elves. Within the protection of the elves was a young girl who held the key to end all the darkness.

"We must warn them!" cried Sally, "If they know, then they may raise an army to fend off the king's advancements."

Hilde and Wufei looked at Sally in mutual understanding. They would all make it to the elves or die trying.

Not too far from the three travelers sat a curious fairy. She danced among the flowers listening to their discussion. Her rainbow wings refracted light onto the colorful flowers, making them glow. Even through the terrifying conversation between the humans, she had been able to smile. The age of fairies was dying. Man would see to that, but before they left this world, this final war would include them as well.
