Reincarnation (サイライ Sairai?) Italian: Reincarnazione.
[edit] Plot and Setting
Reincarnation is the story of a two lovers, a goat and a wolf, who attempt to escape from the wrath of the Naga Gods. The Narrator, Seán (Wolf), tells the story of how he was Reincarnated from a human boy that was killed by a deadly unknown plague in the year December 25, 2012 - the plague eventually caused the human race to go extinct. Seán was re-born in lower Scotland where he saw a small Pictish Stones, later his travels Northwards to a rural forest and met a small goat named Antal. Antal instantly became friends with the Wolf, Seán is in love with Antal, however Seán fears that if he told Antal that he is in love with him, then the goat would run away. But Seán has more to worry about, the Naga gods don't respect Antal's and Seán's "relationship" and try to hunt them down all over England. Seán and Antal aren't even safe in a Buddhist Monastery, so they flee up Snowdon Mountain where they have to fight their way through the snow. The bitter cold of a blizzard overcomes Antal, and the Naga gods still pursues them. Respectively facing death from starvation or the Naga gods, Antal and Seán both attempt to sacrifice themselves for the other.
The setting of this story is in Scotland, Liverpool England, Snowdon Wales, and Cardigan Bay Wales.
[edit] Characters
Seán (ショーン shoon?)
- He's the main protagonist and the teller of the story. A very opened-minded, responsible teen wolf (オオカミ Okami?) who was reborn from a human boy that was killed by an unknown deadly plague in the year 2012. Seán is the hero of the story, he protects his lover Antal from any sort of disaster from the Naga Gods. Seán's main quote is from the Nine Black Alps song Future Wife.
"Everybody has a secret life, and if you want me to kill or befriend him it wont be easy. I'm just felling lucky cause my paws are tied and my mouth is dry and I won't fight. And I've been acting like I'm on his side and I don't know why and I don't mind." - Part 3 pg17
Antal (アンタル Antaru?)
- He's another main protagonist of the story. A very wimpy and childish teen goat (ヤギ Yagi?) and whenever something bad happens to Seán, he would cry and cry. Antal's past life is not mentioned except that his friends and parents were killed by hungry wolves. At the end of the story, Antal finally reviles his true feelings to Seán. Antal had no main quote but follows one of Seán's.
"But I don't prefer the goat meat," I paused then shifted my head towards him, "however, I do prefer the goat." - Part 5 pg 24
Naga Gods (ナーガの神 Naaga no Kami?)
- The main antagonist of the story. These snakes are divine god-like figures, servants of God Buddha, but these snakes are tormenting and punishing Antal and Seán without Buddha's supervision. When Buddha finally realized, he killed them off by buring them under snow during Part 7 - The battle for someone you love. These Nagas during part 7 were massive snakes, as said in the story, "Quickly, one after another, three of the Naga's appeared, monstrous snakes higher then the tallest Steeple, striding over the pine trees and smashing them, slithering snakes shinning like glittering metal each carrying two razor-sharp extended teeth, and I apprehended with horror that I've seen these awful snakes before." The Nagas have no quote but a erupting noise (same one used in Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds),
As they struck, all four snakes erupted, emitting deafening echoing sounds that roared like thunder, "Ulaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Ulaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" - Part 7 pg32
