FOREWARD

	I saw the whole of the El-Hazard OAV series between March 3rd and
March 11th, 1998.  After watching the first two tapes on March 3rd, I
decided that instead of ending the Full Circle series in Tokyo, I'd end
it in El-Hazard.  In the week that followed, I wrote the first few
parts of 'Endless Nights'.  After watching the final two tapes, I
nearly trashed this entire work.

	Why?  El-Hazard was perfect.  No, it was better than perfect, it was
complete.  It touched a part of me that had been untouched for a long
time. It was a magnificent work.

	I write fiction about anime not because I can or because I know the
story well enough to do an extension, I write it because I feel it can
be improved.  When the animation stops and I still feel there is a
story to be told, I tell it.  It's a NEED to finish; a need to make
what is incomplete, complete.  I am told that this need is referred to
as a 'Muse', but I wouldn't know anything about that. :)

	All that considering, why have I written this?  If it is not for
El-Hazard, what could it be for?  Why did the 'muse', bite?  The
answer: Full Circle.  IT is incomplete, and no matter how many episodes
I write of the Tenchi Muyou episodes, it will never be complete.  So
I've written this because the 'muse' has told me to make an extension
of Full Circle, not El-Hazard.

	So when you read this, please understand that El-Hazard, in itself, is
complete, and this story is for the purpose of ending a saga that has
gone on long enough.  So, drink a toast with me for the final story,
and by that I mean, the end of the timeline, of the Full Circle Saga.
