Ranma½ - The master of illusions

prolog

Some time ago in the land of the rising sun

"Where am I?"
Ryoga looked around. He wanted to find a sign. A clue where he is.
He got lost. Again. And all because he doesn't
Has a sense of direction.
Nevertheless, Ryoga kept going, hoping to find Tokyo after all. To the tendos. To Akane, the woman he loved.
Every time Ryoga thought of Akane, he had to sigh. Akane, this beautiful girl, was promised to Ranma, his archenemy. This thought tormented him again and again.
But Ryoga went on and on.
He only found stones, plants and trees, but not a soul.
Still, Ryoga went on and on.
He knew nothing could happen to him, after all he was used to traveling around in nature.
He went on because he had a goal. He wanted to defeat Ranma, for everyone
Price. He wanted Akane to love him as a man.
Many such thoughts came to Ryoga during his travels.How do I get stronger?
How can I defeat Ranma?
How do I get rid of this stupid curse?
Yes, that curse. Caused by Ranma Saotome. Damn yourself
Touching cold water will transform you into a piglet. And all because of the boy.
It was this curse that prevented Ryoga from confronting Akane as a real man. To her, he was nothing more than the piglet P-chan. No more than a cute little piglet.
`I'll be home soon`. That thought kept going through Ryoga's mind
`I'll be home soon`
`Hopefully`
Ryoga remembered.
"Where are you going to Tokyo?", Ryoga asked with no hope of an answer.
Although a long journey was not uncommon for Ryoga, it was somehow strange.
A delay of six weeks was unusual, even for Ryoga.
Six weeks late for the duel with Ranma.
'Well, it doesn't matter,' he thought.
Ryoga looked around again.
Something was bothering him. He didn't know what, but it was there.`I'm just imagining it. After all, I haven't eaten for a long time and haven't seen anyone in a long time. '
His hunger caused him the most trouble. He hadn't eaten in weeks. Ryoga didn't know how, but he had come to a desolate area with no sign of life.
Ryoga has recently been eating nothing but water. He couldn't take it much longer.
Ryoga looked around again. This time his gaze stayed focused.
'Can it be'
`His gaze fell on poles protruding from hot springs. '
'That's impossible'
Is it really true? Rods from sources. That can only be jusenkyo.
Jusenkyo, here in Japan?
Ryoga closed his eyes and opened them again, but the springs still weren't gone.
Tears came to his eyes. He couldn't believe his luck.
`Goodbye P-chan, goodbye humiliation`
Then Ryoga felt dizzy. He tried to stop, but fell down.Ryoga wanted to look up at the springs again, but they were gone.
Then he felt a pain in the back of his head. Somebody must have hit him.
So it wasn't my imagination after all, someone was there.
Now he heard a cruel laugh.
Shortly afterwards he passed out.

So that's it for now. I hope you liked it. I'm already working on the further course of the story.
