The Mist of Time
-----prologue-----
The London fog rolled, quietly, down the cobblestone streets, the
lamplight casting an eerie yellowish glow upon the thickening mist.

up in the same orphanage, played the same games, and eventually ended

"Awful about Sarah, wasn't it?" the blond asked. "It broke my heart
so when she died."
"Death isn't so bad." the chestnut-haired woman replied. "I'm just
not too keen on how she met it." She was about to add something
further when a hand grabbed her braid and dragged her back into a
dark alley.
Her companion ran, too late, to help her as she screamed out in
fearful agony.

street, cloaked in evil and shrouded by the London fog..

As the five pilots raced toward the exit, Wufei launched a smoke
grenade at down the hall. As the resulting smoke enveloped them, and
their enemies, Duo and Quatre suddenly looked at each other as if
recognizing each other for the first time.
"Duo?" Heero asked, trying to pull him along while Trowa tried the
same thing with Quatre.
Duo and Quatre both screamed.
