The Shifter

********************************************************* *************************

"You see, young ones, over a millennia ago the world was guarded by many beings. Superior beings. Some called them gods, but these creatures never accepted such an honorable name, they preferred, instead, to be known as the guardians. Each guardian had a specific element of life that they oversaw. Even thought there were many guardians, only five were considered above the rest. Aarde the guardian of Earth, Regen the guardian of Water, Brand the guardian of Fire, Lucht the guardian of Air, and the most beautiful being to ever grace our planet, Vooruitzicht the guardian of Fate.

But everything was not as perfect as it may sound, for there was a reason for guardians. Dark forces threatened our world. Doostar, the leader of these forces had fallen deeply in love with Vooruitzicht, though Fate was already spoken for. Vooruitzicht was betrothed to Lucht and the guardian of Air was more protective of him than his own element. Doostar spent many years trying to find a way to win Vooruitzicht's affection, but Voory wanted nothing to do with him, for he had no desire to destroy the light of the world as was Doostar's true passion.

It was never really discovered how it came about, but somehow Doostar managed to kidnap Voory, being away from the other guardians was too hard on his delicate heart and without Lucht to shield him from his visions, they became gradually more intense until finally, he couldn't take it anymore. Lucht found him lying on the floor of the bedroom Doostar had confined him too. The four remaining guardians promised their dying friend that they would find him and protect him from the Darkness that had taken him in that life, in the next.

Doostar is still living and he believes that you Heero are Lucht, that is why he has taken control of Une, if you are Lucht than Vooruitzicht must be somewhere nearby." Trieze fell silent, his story told. A gasp was heard as Duo's head suddenly fell to his chest and his body tensed. "Duo! What's wrong?!" Heero asked, rushing to the little one's side. Duo raised his head at the sound of Heero's voice and opened his eyes. His purple irises glowed as he spoke, his voice seemingly carried on the air alone.

"It is good that we have not been forgotten. Thank you for keeping our memory alive." Trieze clicked his hanging jaw shut and nodded. "Duo, what are you talking about?" Heero asked as Duo turned to face him. "Lucht, I've been waiting a long time for you. I'm glad that you've kept your promise." He sighed, than turned the rest of the room. "I see you've all kept your promise to me. It gladdens my heart to know what wondrous friends I have."

He stood walked with fluid grace to the center of the room. "I can see that you have yet to regain your own memories, but know that I have not forgotten all that you have done for me. I am Vooruitzicht, the guardian of Fate." Wufei stepped closer to Duo and spoke in a startled voice. "What do you mean? You're name's Duo, you told us so yourself. What's wrong with you?" Vooruitzicht smiled. "Nothing is wrong with me, Brand. I've missed you, and our fights." He walked toward Trowa and gazed sadly at the taller boy. "Hello Aarde, I've missed you immeasurably, brother dear."

Quatre's jaw was brushing the floor as Duo's seemingly liquid body flowed toward him. "Don't act so surprised Regen. You've known longer than most that you are different. Surely your gifts have been slipping through every now and then. I know that little trick you pulled with the Lady was not simply charm alone. Was it?" And the blonde's blush he chuckled. Lastly, turned to Heero.

"There is no way that you haven't realized what I say is true. Lucht, I know you still feel for me. How else do you explain why we were so drawn to each other. It is not simple lust, for that is not what we shared so long ago. Can you not remember the love that flowed between us?" Vooruitzicht's voice trailed off as he turned away. That was, until, he felt a hand brush his cheek. Looking up he noticed that Heero's blue eyes glowed with an unearthly light. "How could you ever think that I'd forget you Voory, my heart."
