Destiny

Disclaimer: I don't own Elf Quest. Richard and Windy Pini do. I own Crecy though.

A/N: Crecy here, And I'm trying something new. Long before I found my interest in Dragon Ball Z, I was into Elf Quest; I have recently re-found my interest in it. Don't worry, I promise to work on all of my stories. I just have to write the beginning of these stories so I remember to write it and don't forget my idea. And I will finish them all; it's just a matter of time. ^_^ Time of the story!

A/N: And in case you're wondering, my character is NOT a Mary-sue. It's based on me with only a FEW modifications. Like the green-eye's bit. I actually have brown. But the red hair is real! Lol. And in this story, I may have a few Mary-sue traits in Crecy, but oh well. Think what you want.

A/N: Okay, last one. This story will be kept as close as possible to the original, but I don't have the books with me so I can't keep every detail the same. It will be made as close as what I can remember, but don't worry, I'm good at remembering these things…. So… yeah… GO READ NOW!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 1

I was sitting on my bed reading the very first Elf Quest book. I had the entire series and I just HAD to reread the whole thing. (Okay, so I don't. But I'm close! I have a LOT of the books and hope to get them all soon.) I sighed as I glanced at the pages dreamily. Wouldn't it be SO kewl if I got to experience it first hand?

Lately, I have been drifting away from all my friends and family. I was perfectly content reading and writing Fanfiction, as well as reading my elf quest books. I was usually found daydreaming when not with friends, family or reading my stuff. Even throughout this dream-like state, I still managed to keep my grades up in school with only getting a few B's here and there. I vowed to myself that I would pass this stage in my life eventually to make my self something in this world. But, for now I sat daydreaming about all that couldn't happen. Or could it?

I glanced back down to the book; my mind had wandered completely off subject again. I had a strange tendency to do that. I stood up and left the book on my bed. It was late, yet I was not tired. I didn't want to sleep. Good thing it was still summer. I went to sit at the front bored of my bed to stare into my reflection in the mirror. (My Bed was a Daybed) I still hadn't changed out of my clothes for the day. I was wearing black, baggy pants, and a tight, sleeveless, dark red shirt that said, 'Purrrrrrrfect' and had a picture of a black kitten smirking mischievously. I glanced around my room and took a black headband and wrapped it around my head. Taking another look in the mirror, I found that it matched well with my outfit. Black shoes were on my feet, and I wore a Dragon Necklace, one that I always wore for luck.

Suddenly, the mirror began swirling and changing form. I gasped as the colors moved and played gracefully. I was so caught in its beauty that I found myself lost in it. I unconsciously took a step forward, but before I could do anything else, an unseen force gripped me and through me into the strange wormhole. I blackout before I saw more.

~*~

I awoke to the fierce sun's rays burning down upon my face. I open my eyes and slowly began to stand up. Looking around me, I began to think. 'What just happened? Where am I and how did I get here? Oh yeah, my mirror sucked me in. Like anyone will believe that. Oh well, I'll just fake amnesia or something… Wait are those voices?' My thoughts cut off as I carefully wandered over to where I heard them. To my shock I found myself looking at none other then the Wolfriders. I watched in frozen fascination as Cutter walked by one of the 'sticker plants' and cut himself.

"Wha? Its wet?" He asked more to himself.

"Leave it to Cutter to find us water!" Skywise laughed as he and others came to drink.

Cutter nodded to his tribe, and turned away… only to notice me.

He instinctively placed his hand on New Moon and said, "Who are you? Come on out!"

"Er- Hi?" I stumbled as I almost fell out of my hiding spot. The other Elves just watched me as the hunters grabbed their weapons just in case. "Um… Do you really need to have you sword out when I clearly don't have a weapon? Kinda unfair." I grumbled. "Wish I had a kewl new sword." I said it loud enough for them to hear, but before anything else was said, a sword fell in front of me from literally nowhere. I gasped and heard the others do the same. "What the heck?! How did that happen!?" I asked. I started getting panicky and took a few steps back and tripped over a rock. I hit my head rather hard on the way down. "Ouch."

"How did you do that?" Cutter demanded.

"I don't know." I sat up and rubbed my head. "Ouch." I repeated. Why as everything all hazy?

*How could you not know? You were the one who did it. * Strongbow sent.

My head began to throb as I clutched it. "Don't send. It hurts." I muttered as I stood up all the way. "And If I wanted to attack you, don't you think I would have when you found the water in the 'Sticker plants'. Although I tend to call them Cactus." I replied. I couldn't see straight, but by my nature I ignored the pain and masked it so others won't see.

"That's true, but how do we know we can trust you?" Skywise asked.

I sighed again. I seemed to be doing that a lot lately. "You're going to make me prove to you, huh? Well, I guess I'll try…"

"Try? Try what?" Cutter questioned suspiciously.

I concentrated hard and looked at Cutter in a Lock Send, *No, I'm not your life mate or whatever, but I know your soul name is Tam. * He gasped and his eyes went wide.

"What happened? What did she do?" One-eye asked.

"She knows… my soul name…" He whispered.

"What!? Did you just recognized?" Skywise gasped.

"No, I don't know hers, but I- I don't know how…"

"Don't ask me how, because I won't tell you. But I will tell you this, He'll recognize soon, and not to me in case you're wondering." I crossed my arms. And watched their reactions.

"I guess we can trust you. You haven't use that name against me in anyway. So, what IS your name?"

"Oh, call me…" I stopped. I couldn't use my old name. Well, how about my Characters name? I don't know…

"You don't know your name?" Skywise looked at me incredulously.

"I do. But I don't want to give you that one. So, I guess call me Crecy. It's like a nickname of sorts." I answered.

Well, I'm going to look around for a bit. I want to know what else is here." Cutter glanced over at me, then him and Skywise walked away.

I was aware of almost everyone's eyes on me, so I leaned against a wall and sank into a sitting position. I brought my knees up to my chest and wrapped my arms around myself. I laid my throbbing head on my knee and relaxed. I was beginning to drift off when I heard someone walk over to me. I open my eyes and looked up at the person. Due to my dizziness at the sudden movement and the blinding light from the sun, I couldn't make out who it was. I saw the person kneel down in front of me as a face came into view. It was Dewshine.

She looked in my eyes and before I could mask my pain, she saw it. I closed my eyes, and then opened them briefly. All signs of pain gone from my eyes and movements.

"Yes?" I tilted my head to the side a little while waiting for a response.

"Here's you knife, I don't know how you made it appear like that. Oh, my name s Dewshine." like I didn't already know. Augh. This headache is making me cranky. I put the knife in my picket, even though it stuck out.

"Thanks, and to be honest, I don't know how I did it either. " I replied. She sat down next to me on her knees.

"Are you okay? You looked hurt a minute ago."

"No, no. I'm fine. Just a little tired. I never expected to meet all of you." She didn't know how trustful that was. But I couldn't tell them. I knew basically about their whole lives. Wait am minute. Does this mean I'm am elf? I froze.

"Is something wrong?" She asked, started.

Carefully, I brought my hand up to my face, I saw only four fingers. Gently, I place the same hand on my ears. They were long and pointy. Just like an elf's.

I masked my feelings once again, and said. "No, everything's okay. Just thinking. That's all." Everything's okay!? I'm in a comic book and am now an elf! How did this happen!?

She just nodded. We both stopped our conversation when we heard Cutters send to the tribe. I winced as I felt it. I really should have watched where I was going.

There were elves over the ridge and they were going to raid it for food. I stood up as he finished calling all those going.

"Where are you going? Cutter didn't call you."

"I just want to watch. I'll stay out of trouble. " I answered as I walked to the cliff and began climbing. I heard Dewshine telling Moonshade where I was going, but I didn't hear her response. It took me only about 10 minutes until I got to the top. I pressed myself to the ground and carefully and quietly scooted aver to the edge. I already missed the raid. They were on the top of the cliff at an angle from me. I could easily walk over there, but I choose to stay in my place. Rayek was halfway up the cliff, and I could tell that's where Cutter told them 'No, no killing if we can help it.' Then he looked up and saw me.

I winced, and then waved, an innocent smile on my lips. The other's followed his gaze to rest on me.

*Crecy, what are you doing up here? * He demanded.

*Uh… I like the view. * Well, that was true. I did. Even at the distance, I could see him roll his eyes. *You better get back to the situation at hand. Don't worry. I'll stay out of sight. * He nodded briefly and things went back to the way it went in the book.

I watched as Leetah told the Wolfriders to come down to the Village with her to meet Savah, the Mother of Memory. We climbed down to the Sun Village and all sat before the Sun Toucher. He put his hands up to the Wolfriders, while hand back, off to the side. I wasn't really a Wolfrider anyway. I didn't have a wolf friend, and I did just meet them.

"You have traveled a long time. You are weary and tired. You are welcome here Wolfriders." (A/N: Told you I couldn't remember. Bear with me.)

"Oh no! We must leave! We had to leave to of our people in the desert. One was injured, perhaps dieing. If there is a Healer among you village, I ask that you come!" Cutter said.

"Wait. You must rest. You are exhausted. So is your beast." Sun Toucher protested.

"No matter. I can't leave them out there." Cutter mounted Nightrunner and turned to look at the others briefly.

"Wait, I am a Healer." Leetah bravely stepped forward.

"No! Leetah, you can't! I forbid it!" Rayek interjected.

"You… forbid?" Leetah stared at him coldly.

"Er- I'm sorry. But let me go with you." He corrected himself.

They quickly left to help Redlance and Nightfall. I looked away from them and found my way to the wall of one of the Huts. I leaned against it and hid in the shadow of it. I closed my eyes and forced myself to relax, but jumped when I heard a voice talking to me.

"Why are you hiding, child?" I looked to see Sun Toucher.

"Its nothing. I just wanted to relax." I replied.

" You're not as exhausted as the others. Are you not of their tribe?" He asked.

"Um… I don't know. I actually just met up with them before they found the oasis."

"I see. I can also tell you are hurt."

"I'm fine. Just a little bump on the head. Don't worry about it."

"I fear it is more then you think."

I watched him puzzled as he walked away. 'Oh, its nothing. Just a little pain." I reassured myself.

I sat down and decided to meditate. It always helps clear my mind. I sat cross-legged on the floor and closed my eyes. I fell into a dreamlike state. It was relaxing… a small smile found itself onto my lips…

My state was broken by shouts of joy. My eye's snapped open and I turned to the noise. They were back. 'Guess I was meditating longer then I thought.'

I stood up and walked to the rejoicing. Might as well meet them. I walked up too them and said, "Hi. I'm Crecy. Good to see you're okay."

They turned to me, started. "Hi. I'm Nightfall" She smiled warmly.

"And I'm Redlance. Thanks." I nodded to them and stepped back as the Wolfriders continued there rejoicing.

Turning my head, I saw Cutter talk to Leetah and her reject him. Rayek helped her away, and He then talked to Sun Toucher. I started to drift away from them, falling into my own thoughts. Old habits die hard, I guess.

"Hey" Leetah said as she caught up to me.

"Yes?"

"Father said you were hurt. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Nothing to worry about."

"Can I check? To make sure?"

"I guess…" I really didn't want her to, but I would never get the peace I needed to think.

She touched my temple, and then gasped. "You're hurt worse then Father thought. Let me heal you."

"No, I'm fine. It just tripped and hit my head." I protested.

"You have internal bleeding and torn tissues. You'll die if you are not treated!"

"I'm not weak! I can handle a simple bump!" Ohhh… This headache is making my temper worse then usual.

Apparently, our yelling caught the attention of those present; neither of us noticed the sudden silence.

"Why are you being so stubborn!? I just want to help!"

"I don't need your help! I'm fine! Always have been, always will be!"

"You're not getting the point! You will die if you won't let me help you!"

"I AM getting the point! There's nothing wrong with me!" Before more was said, I turned around and took off. I didn't know where I was running. I only knew that I had to get away.

~*~

I returned some hours later. When I first came up to the caves where we would be sleeping in, I over heard Cutter talking with Skywise.

"I couldn't find her anywhere. I don't know where to look." Skywise said.

"That's because, I'm right behind you." I stated, and then brushed past them to get to the cave entrance.

Cutter took my arm, "Wait. What's wrong? Why didn't you let Leetah heal you?"

"Nothing. And I wouldn't let her heal me because there was no reason. " I replied.

He sighed. "Why won't you let anyone help you?"

I stopped. It's what I've been doing haven't I? I did that in the last world too. I never let anyone know my loneliness. My pain. I kept it all inside. Its what I've doing here too. "Because. You hardly know me. And… I guess I won't stay here long, so it doesn't matter." My voice was soft, quiet. I deserve to belong if all I do is push them away. And I can't interfere with the timeline. I'll screw up everything! They fell into a stunned silence behind me. I pulled my arm free then went deeper in the caves.

~*~

I was resting. It was sometime later and the sun had set. I walked outside for a breath of fresh air, and then I heard something. Music? Or right! This was that celebration. I might as well come on down. No harm done, right? Hopefully I won't get into any more arguments. I can't let Leetah know, even if it means she can't heal me. She'll feel my blood, know something isn't right. I was Human before this, I don't belong. There goes my pessimistic attitude again…

I walked down to the others and silently wished for a flute or something so I can fit in. To my surprise, one appeared in my hand. Grinning to myself, I wished I could play it. I tune sounded in my head and I brought it to my lips to play it.

The melody swept through the dance and all eyes turned to me. I ignored it the best I could as a beautiful sound emerged from my instrument. Then I wished the others playing new the tune and how to play it. They began to play the song as well. I walked to them as the new song sounded surprising like I had imagined it to be. (A/N: Actually I'm listening to the Vampire Princess soundtrack right now. I thought it would be perfect.). Leetah and the other dancers smiled to each other and began to dance again.

I continued to play late into the night. I was so lost in my music that I didn't hear anyone come up to me.

"You should take a break from playing, why don't you dance?" Skywise grinned.

"I don't dance well… and when I do its to different music." I replied nervously. 'I'm going to make a fool out of myself. Don't make me dance… don't make me dance… don't make me-'

"Everyone can dance. Come on" He took my arm. I gently set my flute down and walked out with him. He let me go and stood back to the sky. I glared at him and started to walk off, but then another dancer blocked my path.

"Dance with us." She laughed.

I sighed, "I'm not getting out of this am I?" She shook her head.

I closed my eyes and began to dance they way I was taught to. I stayed in place, but swayed my body and raised my hands over my head. I looked like I was going to kneel down when I dipped low to the ground. I continued to dance, unaware of the audience I was getting. I danced the way you would in a club when trying to get attention from the guys; I kind of forgot that I was in a Desert Oasis as an Elf. I was home; my friends and I had come out to a club to hang out. I was dancing with them. The music blaring in my soul almost caused me to lose my self in my memory. I opened my eyes and found them all looking at me. The song as just ended and I thankfully was getting out of it.

"Okay, you can play, and dance. What else can you do?" Skywise asked.

"Um… If answer that, then I'm going to have to demonstrate aren't I?" He nodded, and grinned. "…I can sing…" I mumbled.

His face brightened and he said, "Then lets hear it!"

"Why me?" I asked, looking up at the sky.

"Because you're talented and beautiful" His grin never left his face. I blushed slightly. I'm not used to complements unless it's at the club and some guy's trying to get me in bed with him. I finally nodded, and wished for the right song and that the players knew it. They looked startled, but shrugged and began to play, All The Things She said but t.A.T.u. (I don't claim to own this either, and I made slight changes because although I have anything against them, I'm straight. I don't care; it's their decision to make. I have no right to say anything, anyway. This isn't the actual lyrics word for word.)

"All the things he said
All the things he said
Running through my head
All the things he said
All the things he said
Running through my head
This is not enough

I'm in serious s--t, I feel totally lost
If I'm asking for help it's only because
Being with you has opened my eyes
Could I ever believe such a perfect surprise?

I keep asking myself, wondering how
I keep closing my eyes but I can't block you out
Wanna fly to a place where it's just you and me
Nobody else so we can be free

All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
This is not enough
This is not enough

All the things she said
All the things she said

And I'm all mixed up, feeling cornered and rushed
They say it's my fault but I want him so much
Wanna fly him away where the sun and rain
Come in over my face, wash away all the shame
When they stop and stare - don't worry me
_Cause I'm feeling for her what she's feeling for me
I can try to pretend, I can try to forget
But it's driving me mad, going out of my head

All the things she said
Running through my head
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
This is not enough
This is not enough

Mother looking at me
Tell me what do you see?
Yes, I've lost my mind

Daddy looking at me
Will I ever be free?
Have I crossed the line?

All the things she said
Running through my head
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
This is not enough
This is not enough "

I finished the song to once again find them staring at me. "What, didn't you like it?" Why wouldn't they? I really like that song.

"Wow…" I heard one of them breathe.

They cheered for me and I grinned. 'Yay! They like!' I thought in a childish manner. Then they asked me to sing it again.

"I have a better Idea. " The song started up again, but this time, I sang it in Russian.

Translation (Still with changes, so not exact translation. Turn the He's into She's, and then you'll have the exact translation):

"I am all gone
It is very serious
Situation HELP
Situation SOS
I cannot understand myself
Where did you appear form?
The light is shutting down
I am flying somewhere
Without you there is no me
I don't want anything
It is the slow poison
It is making me crazy
But the say it is all my fault.

I've lost my mind
I've lost my mind
I need him
I need him
I have lost my mind
I need him.

Without you I am not myself
Without you there is no me
But they say, they say
It is delirium
It is poison from the sun
It is making me crazy
But they say it is all my fault
I did try to forget
To the end and down
I did count the poles
And confused birds
Without you there is no me
Let me go, let me go
To the corner and down
Mom, Dad forgive me

I've lost my mind
I've lost my mind
I need him
I need him
I have lost my mind
I need him.

1,2 go after 5
Mom, Dad forgive me
I've lost my mind

1,2 go after 5
Mom, Dad forgive me
I've lost my mind

I've lost my mind
I've lost my mind
I need him
I need him
I have lost my mind
I need him. " I finished. The change in language aught them by surprise. I laughed, "Not exactly the same, but close."

"What tongue was that?" Cutter asked.

"Er- I dunno. But I know it." I shrugged and hoped they wouldn't ask again. They left me alone about it. I just hung out with everyone. I was acting the exact opposite of what I usually did and I actually ENJOYED it. It was strange. Later we all went to bed… cave, hut, whatever…. And drifted asleep.

'Oh boy! I hope I get to do this EVERY day!' I thought sarcastically.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wow. Longest chapter I've Ever written all by my self. *Grins* Every. Well, I luved it, now tell me if you do too! Yeah, I know. Crecy is a bit Mary-sueish. Especially at the end. Oh well. Review, plez!
