Thunder rolls, clouds part yada yada
Balgus: Van, King of the Fanelians.
Van: Balgus! But I thought you were!--
Balgus: Yes well, someone had to give this story a plot! I get to be god in this parody in consolation for getting killed off fifteen minutes after I appear.
Van: "..."
Balgus: You're struck dumb with awe I see.
Van: Uh, yeah... that's it.
Allen: Since when did this thing need a plot?
Folken: Who cares, lets just go with it.
Balgus: Hey! I'm talking here! You three miserable ex-students of mine had better re-learn to respect your teacher or I'll have to come down there and give you another lesson in sword play and a fresh set of bruises!
all three snap to atentiveness
Van, Allen and Folken: Yes teacher!
Balgus: Good, now pay attention.
choir starts singing, and a lighted version of Hitomis pendant appears
Balgus: This is the Holy Pendant. You and your rag-tag team of misfits and outcasts must seek out this pendant. That is your quest.
thunder rolls, Balgus disappears
Allen: Hey, did he just call us misfits?
Folken: well, you have to admit, we are a rather odd lot. A merchant who never takes anything seriously, two halfbreed draconian royals, and outcast knight--
Allen: I'm not an outcast!
Dryden: Oh I'm sorry, he must have been thinking of another knight who was sent away from the royal court in disgrace under circumstances no-one will discuss to serve out the rest of his military carreer in some remote outpost in the middle of no-where.
Allen: grit
Van: Ohhhh, snap.
Authors note: I own nuthin'. I am lookng for a beta reader to read over an escaflowne fic I'm writing. If anyone would like to volunteer please contact me at Sorry the chapter was so short but there really wasn't all tht much to the skit in the original.
