Disclaimer: I do not own the GW boys, more's the pity. However, I do own the elephant, if only in my mind.
Warnings: There will be yaoi, although probably only of the WAFF type, I haven't decided yet. If it changes, I'll write it in big bold letters, no worries. So far no age restrictions though.

Unnamed…The Elephant story
Prologue
The Maxwell family had once been a wealthy family, owning land in the south of England that stretched as far as the eye could see from the house, and rubbing shoulders with the most important people in England. The last Lord Maxwell was a trusted adviser to Queen Victoria, and it was on her wishes that he and his family travelled to India, to maintain control over a small area in the north east of the country that had kept its Raja. The first few years passed like a dream. Lord and Lady Maxwell and their youngest son, the only not yet old enough to go to university, lived happily in a comfortable house in the grounds of the young Raja's lush palace.
However, suddenly, during their fifth summer in India, disaster struck. In the middle of the night, the Raja disappeared, his belongings untouched. Also vanished was the young Maxwell, and the favourite rumour was that he had murdered the Raja in order to allow his father to seize control of the principality, and he had then disappeared in his fear. Since the searches made by the army in the surrounding villages proved fruitless, this was generally accepted as the official turn of events, and the Maxwells left India in shame, to set up a new, low profile existence in America.

Duo Maxwell, the only descendant of this family, was an archaeologist. He loved his work and excelled in it, it filled his free time as well. A charismatic celebrity, he still found it hard to form close bonds with people. Truly, aside from a childhood friend, his soul companions were the members of his team; the theologian and the son of a renowned museum curator.
Currently, Duo was preparing for possibly the most important dig of his life. South of the Himalayas, a small Buddhist shrine, dating from the 5th Century, but missing from all records after the middle of the 1800's, had finally been traced. What made it so important though was the fact that it was very close to the area the Maxwells had once lived in. For Duo, this was a pilgrimage also, something he felt compelled to do, visiting the graves of ancestors.
