Story [Highlander] Child of the Universe * DDC 2013 * COMPLETE

...

 

Wow! Seemed necessary, but just like someone in combat situations, it's still something they have to adjust to emotionally.

 

Off with his head! You need to do a crossover and give her a lightsaber. Nice update!

 

Yes, there is a lot of adjusting necessary. It's definitely not easy being immortal.

Ooh! Be careful with that plot bunny: it would have to involve Highlander 2, placing the planet Zeist somewhere in the Outer Rim. I can see it now

 

It's sad that she has to go out on her own! She obviously found her own way, but I agree with Mira: What a baptism by fire.

Glad that Claire found healing and time ... like that phrase/expression: lingered alone Eight years ... I can just imagine she hadn't realized that much time had passed in the world outside.

 

Who could resist wolf puppies. Nice update.

 

Sometimes we all need to get away and balance ourselves. Unfortunately we are not immortal and can't aford to stay away for that long.

I love puppies. I've been thinking of getting one.

 

Napoleon was dead set on taking over Europe and his army had reached my little nook of the world.

I love this line. Very powerful! I can't wait for the next post

 

I'm still trying to figure out where Claire would go from here. I might have to start posting every other week soon. I'm just saying it so yoy girls won't be surprised if that happens.

 

Thanks Mira_Jade! I wasn't sure about the wolves, but i needed something that would help her heal.

Awkward! Hey...umm...sorry I shot you.

 

Very awkward! I wonder where they're gonna go from there...

 

Great post and very thought provoking.

Claire doesn't feel like any/every immortal she meets is a potential or even actual enemy. But she has a gut instinct she's apparently going off of. She felt immediately comforted by Darius whereas the others she met set off red flags. ... Does the guy she shot remember that she did that to him? I figured it would make it very crazymaking psychologically to remember all your various demises. Now this would be a very weird crossover: Dr. Who and the Highlanders.

 

Jade_eyes - at this point, Claire is terrified. She knows she doesn't have the skills to win in a duel and she doesn't want to die (not anymore) . Plus the fact that she spent 8 years without human contact did not help her social skills.
As for this guy, i was going to introduce another canon character at this point, but now that I've thought about it some more i think I'll turn him into an OC because it will provide me with more liberty with what to do with him and develop a more interesting relationship.

 

It's the beginning of something alright! I'm just not sure what.

Hazel, Max sounds on the gorgeous side That lopsided grin is waaaay too scoundrelly because he recognized Claire all along. Looking forward to their adventures in America.

 

Max sounds a little Han Solo-ish. I like it!
