This perhaps offers a few answers about Ifurita, her past,
and the world of El Hazard before the cataclysm.

What do you think of this idea?

Damn, this is great.  A neat idea, extremely well written, begs for a

deeper exploration.

Write it.  Write it now.  Finish it.  I'd love to see where you go with this.

This is great, great, great.  Oh, and I liked it, too.

Thank you, thank you!
I've stated it before, most ideas I have for El Hazard fics have to do with
the
past. They're usually my attempt to explain why things are the way they are
now.
I wonder how off they really are though. The creators have apparently put a
lot
of thought into the world. The triple eyes of the bugrom, located in the
middle
of their heads, are useless now, sort of an exterior pineal gland in a way
but at one time they apparently worked. That kind of detail. It would be
hard to
imagine they did not create some sort of history.

Well, next disk is the Bugrom. I might include a couple of other creatures
in it
too, at the start. It will include parts of the war which caused the
Cataclysm,
and basically hint at some things.
	It's been pretty much written in my head for over, well, since before 
summer. However, I need to re-research something as I've forgotten it (which
type of Bugrom corresponds to which).
	Disk three takes a look at the Eye of God, and my thoughts about it.
The creation of the Eye, its true purpose (I have my doubts they are using it
for its original purpose, let us just say), the coming of the Phantom Tribe
(and maybe some othehr things too), and the end of all things.
	Ammar won't be around for all of these (part of disk three though), but
his son will!

	Also have another El Hazard historical, taking a look at the Phantom Tribe,
and why Gallus is really pissed off at everyone else in El Hazard. Have
started 
writing this one down already....
	I expect in the next month/month and a half to finish off the Phantom Tribe
one (no name for it yet), Disk Two, probably Disk three, Oracle, and Ice
Cream 
(it's taking a hiatus, I can manage no more than a few sentences when I
write in it).

Be prepared for The Coming of Gallus (Oracle part 2)
			&
Ah! Bugrom it! (sorry, don't actually have a title yet) Disk 2
