Author's note: Wondering what the hell is going on? Wondering how this is a Gundam Wing fic when the name Heero hasn't even be uttered once? Don't worry. The Gods must reek havoc before we get that far. It's coming. Also note that Noble and Elegance where changed to Loyalty and Virtue respectfully. This only pertains to those of have read parts of the story before. I'm having trouble deciding what I need exactly from them for later chapters and I may come bac and modify them further.

Chapter 1

Thy Women Be Scorned

Destiny stomped away with fury in his step. The woman undermined him far too many times, and he would take no more.

Fate charged after him, "And where do you thing you are going!"

Destiny did not turn around, "Far away from you."

Fate contained her shock as she continued after him, "But why! What have I done to harm you!"

Destiny came to a halt and turned toward her. He bowed his head a moment before looking her directly in the eye, "You have a total disregard for Life and all the people who walk upon the earth."

Fate did not back away, "I still have never harmed them."

"NO!" Destiny shouted, fury barely contained, "War does it for you. You remain the peaceful watcher who alters the plans of Destiny, while he does the dirty work for you."

Fate gaped a moment, "Fate must control Life . . . ."

Destiny paused before he turned from her, "Life controls Life with the guidance of Destiny. You scorn Life and have no bearing over it."

"Where are you going?"

"To be with Life, we have work that must be done."

"You love him don't you!" Fate shouted and Destiny paused in his step. "You love him, but that's wrong! Fate and Destiny deserve to be together! We are one!"

Destiny did not turn to look at her, "Fate is cruel and so is Destiny, but Destiny loves Life. Fate and Destiny can only work together, for Fate hates Life."

And with those words, he was gone.

Fate stood gazing after him in utter sorrow, before that sorrow turned to malice.

"He says I scorn! He scorns me! How can he love Life so? He leads Life to Death, just as I do. Love! What a foolish thing! Love is too caught up in the Past to aid in the future. Destiny and I are the future. He should be with me."

Fate felt a depression fall over her before she had an epiphany, "If I, Fate, cannot be one with Destiny then no one will."

She turned to her desk and summoned Desire as her plan formed. Desire entered with her usual grace and with a sweeping gesture asked what she wished of her.

"I have a plan, sweet Desire," Fate said, "It will change the way things are around here forever."

Desire turned her head to show her interest, "How will this help me? I work for my own pleasures."

Fate smiled, "I know how Desire and War intertwine. You wish for War to succumb to you. I can help that happen, for Desire truly makes War into what he truly is."

Desire couldn't help but smile, "I long for War like no other, just as Loyalty longs for Virtue. If you can give us what we want . . . . What can I do to aid you, Fate?"

Past sighed as he leaned back against a tree. Love had left to be with Life. The two of them always played games together and Past knew better than to mingle with such a friendship, no matter how he longed for Love.

He was just remembering the feel of Love's embrace when Loyalty stopped before him.

"How goes the Past?" she asked.

"How goes the loyal?" he responded with a sigh.

"I am well, I suppose," Loyalty says, "As well as I can be with Virtue not knowing how I feel."

"I feel your pain," Past says, "but while Love knows I long for him, he'd rather play his games with Life. I feel used and discarded."

"Apply your wisdom to it," Loyalty said, "If he can forget, then why can't you?"

Past looked over in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Loyalty pulled a bottle from her robes, "This is the Elixir of Forgetfulness. If you drink this, you will not feel sorrow, for you will forget what you should be sorry for. It's only temporary. When Love returns the effect will wear off."

"Why does Loyalty have this elixir?"

"Loyalty must forget things sometimes to retain its nature. If one holds grudges, then how can Virtue be achieved?"

Past nodded, "It will wear off the moment I see Love?"

Loyalty nodded, "Yes, and not a second too soon."

Past reached out and took a long drought from it. Loyalty only smiled as he handed the bottle back. After waiting a moment for it to sink into his system, Loyalty turned and asked, "How do you feel?"

"About what?"

"Love."

"What about it?"

Loyalty laughed, "Then we are in success. Wait here, darling, for your lover to return."

And with that, Loyalty left to pursue Virtue.

Desire held her bottles in her hand and was about to leave her room when Destiny entered unannounced.

"I've been looking for you," Destiny said, "I need you to aid me."

Desire titled her head and requested what he needed help with.

"It is Life. I long for him so, but if I'm swooning I can not guide him down the proper paths I need for him to go."

"You wish to overcome desire?" Desire asked with a smirk.

"Yes."

Desire looked down at the two bottles in her hand and raised one up to him, "This is the Elixir of Forgetfulness. It will aid you in discarding your longing."

Destiny took the elixir with little pause, much to the surprise of Desire. Destiny was usually a cautious man. After a few moments, Destiny stood before her.

"What has happened?"

Desire tilted her head, "What do you mean?"

"I can't remember why I am here. Why did I come here?"

Desire realized Destiny took far more of the elixir than necessary, but decided to use that to her advantage.

"You needed a Potion of Desire. You wanted to move ahead with your lover, but you feel uneasy. You keep getting nervous. You wanted me to help you."

Destiny stood for a moment before nodding, "Yes, yes, that's right."

Desire waved the other bottle she held, "This is it. You must drink some of it, and make sure to pass it on to him. That will ensure everything."

Destiny took the potion and nodded to her, "Thank you, Desire."
