Wave's End -- Starlit Tears

            A 'Compass Points' Side-Story

    And a Ranma 1/2 fanfiction

    Disclaimer: Takahashi's paints, my easel.

@ And that is some painting you have there... :)
@ Love your fics, especially Miss Fortune and Process of Elimination (very
well-done x-over)

    ----------------------------

    [Chime: One]

    Dreams again.

@   Hmm.. the Dreaming... :)

    He wasn't lost -- never as he had been.

    But this time... he didn't know where he was.

    Oddly, he still had no real sense of being _lost_... just not
knowing where he was.

    He wasn't certain how such a thing could be... so it must have been
a dream.

@ Hi, I'm Corinthian.. say your eyes are pretty damn big... <slurp> :)

    [Fate's Question]

    Three sisters surrounded him, each in turn shifting to the last,
boggling him.

    But beyond that, he knew who they were.

    "What do you want with me?"

    They froze, becoming static.

    The eldest spoke first. "We simply need you to make a choice, poppet."

@ Somehow, this reminds me of Morpheus asking the three for the whereabouts
of his tools after he was released from imprisonment... :)

    ***

    [Hero's answer]

    "No..." he said, smiling. "It's not worth it. Sorry. I don't want to
be anything other than what I am. I'm... happy this way."

    In one voice, they returned, "As it will be."

@ Standard answer I suppose... ^_^

    ***

    [Starlight]

    "Dearest?" she murmured sleepily, as he stirred near her.

    "Nothing," he whispered, watching her outline in the faint light of
the stars, tears of joy blurring his vision. "I love you."

    "I love you too, dearest," she answered, moving to be closer with
him again.

@ Is that Akari?? or someone else?? Can't really tell...  :)

    ----------------------------
    Author's Notes:

    Hm... what to say? And here you thought that I hated Ryouga.

    I don't. But really, I think that he's got a much better chance of
living a 'normal' life than anyone else...

    Bah. Short, and utterly pointless. Can fit anywhere within the
Compass Points universe.

@ Yikes.. and I was wondering whether you were starting a crossover here..

I write fanfiction. Too much of it. You can read it here, thanks to a kind

Haiku of my lament:

Forgive my spelling,
my U.S. education,
is the source of blame.

@ cheers, a nice introspective fic. from what i have read - usually, Ryouga
(and Ukyo) don't get much development at all. :)
@ psst.. btw, how's the next part of Elimination? :)
