Woo Hoo... an A!MG fanfic.. haven't seen a decent one for some time. :)

  Well, here's to hoping we can change that. ;)

And back to Rursus Iterum once this is done...

<whines> What about Process of Elimination?? <whines>

  Chapter 4 is... more than half-way done.

Notes: It's an alt, as should become apparent shortly, since I've
read most of the U.S. manga, seen some of the OAVs, and not watched the
movie.

Somehow, this disturbs me.... :p

  Ironicaly, I just got a copy of the movie -- not that I'll have much relevance on this fic, though.

Flash of light. Her older self knew what that meant, and she raised
her hammer in a warding position, invoking her own protective magics.

Hammer? Hmm.. Should be Skuld... :p

  Correct.

Ah, this becomes clear..

BTW, Is this fanfic, by any chance, linked to the Endless?? :)

  Ah... no. That fic is still being worked on. ;)

Together they were able to see, and even then, they were safe. The
Lady was with them, and as long as the Lady was there, the three sisters
would always be safe. Nothing could hurt the lady, except...

Interesting.... Lady Luck??

  In some senses, perhaps.

As if bidden, a cloaked figure emerged from the chaotic swirling
mists, scowling darkly at the Lady. He said nothing, sweeping up the
fallen into his arms, and kissing her gently on the forehead, his lips
brushing against the demon mark on her face. "Rest easy, small one. Quit
this field, and thy sisters. I shall stand. It is..." his lips quirked
in a sardonic grin, as he glanced at the Lady.

I am confused... :p

  Hopefuly, only temporarily.

She wrenched her attention to the enemy, as he comforted the fallen.
"It is... my Destiny."

Destiny: "Whassup!!"

(bleah... :p)

  Not quite. ;)

He sneered at her, his aura flaring darkly to conceal the demoness'
escape. "'Right', you say, and 'just'. Fah. Destiny is Destiny, and _I_
shall not be thwarted." He spared a momentary glance towards the
youngest of the sisters. "You, too, shall see."

At first I was thinking "Eh, WTF Mara??" :)
But I can see who it was at the end... :p

  She does have an important role, actually.

He sat up suddenly, soaked in sweat, not able to remember the dream,
and shivered uncomfortably anyway.

   A soft knock came at his door a mere moment later, and a soft voice
asked him if he were well.

Keiichi.. obvious. :)

  Yep. Keiichi as the Concept of Destiny, his sister as Fate.

"Brother," she whispered, feeling herself come apart. "Why?" But the
doublet system was too strong to resist, and everything began to fade...
The two were as one, and then...

   Nothing.

I like the doublet system. :)

Just imagine the chaos one can create... Read Carrot's "Rain" ... :)

  I think I read through most of that, though MetroAnime's used it, too.

She sat up quickly, scratching the back of her head and looking
around warily. The dream was quickly fading, but... "Keiichi?" she
mused, wondering if she should call her brother.

Brian, you are talented and seriously disturbed... :)
An obvious link to the time when Keiichi was the Lord of Destruction... so
that makes Megumi...

The Lady of Creation?? :p

  All will become clear...

eh.... >_<

A subtle application of canon-facts - doublet system, etc. I like this....

Pray, tell

  Okay, next chapter should be posted in a few minutes. :p

  Thanks for the feedback!
