Chapter One
And So It Begins.
Once upon time there was a young maiden that went by the name Sapphire. Sapphire wasn't your typical girl. She was a magician girl and she continuously fell in love, or what she thought was love, with different guys. Until one day something happened that changed her life.
One day while she was walking through the woods next to her house she heard a voice off to her left. As she followed it, the voice got louder and became distinctly the voice of a young man. Suddenly, the path parted into an opening where there stood the most handsome man she had ever seen. Her breath was immediately taken away when she realized that it was her childhood friend from the days of elementary school. He had changed so much. He had grown taller and had many muscles about his body. She could not believe it was he. She had not seen him since the last day of elementary school. He went by the name of Gourry.
He didn't stop his singing until he heard her sneeze. When he saw her he went and plucked her right out the bushes with one hand.
"Hello, sweet Sapphire." he said.
"Is that really you young Gourry?" she asked.
"The one and only." he said flashing his dazzling white smile.
"Wonderful, but may I request that you return me to my standing position." she said after she came back to reality.
"Of course."
"Where have you been all of these years, Gourry?" she asked straightening out her dress.
"Traveling to broaden my knowledge of the world." he said realizing how much she had grown since their days in school together.
"Were there any creatures to be slain?" she asked noticing the gleaming sword at his side.
"A few dragon's in Romania," he said trying to recall all of his bouts. "And a couple of evil leprechauns in Ireland."
"I hope you weren't hurt at all." she said sympathetically, running worst- case scenarios through her head.
"I escaped each one unscathed, not to say so much about my opponents." he said smiling down at her.
"I had my own bouts here at home." she said.
"Demonstrate your technique for me." he said standing back.
"Ok," she said taking a deep breath.
"Darkness from twilight, crimson from blood that flows; buried in the flow of time; in Thy great name, I pledge myself to darkness! Those who oppose us shall be destroyed by the power you and I possess! DRAGON SLAVE!" she yelled as a powerful, bright, energy ball shot out of her hands.
Gourry blinked his eyes as the trees that were in front of him disappeared. The circle that was formed by the blast had a diameter of about 2 miles and was about 4 miles around.
"Wow. The last time I saw you, you could hardly make a spark come out." said Gourry obviously impressed.
Sapphire's eyes gleamed at his compliment and she couldn't help but smile.
"You are beautiful." he said in a daze.
She stared at him after this comment. She had always liked him, but could he feel the same.
"Sapphire!" called a deep voice.
"Oh no, it's my father." said Sapphire trying to find which way it came from.
"Meet me later at the pub." said Gourry as he disappeared into the woods.
"Sapphire!" came her father's voice to her right.
"Hello father." she said giving her father a hug.
"What are you doing out here?" he asked looking around.
"Just exploring." she said.
"You know I don't want you out here alone. You could be meeting up with boys. Not until."
"I know, I know. Not until I'm 16." she said.
He looked at her with suspicion in his eyes.
"Let's go home. They say that Gaav will attack tonight." he said suddenly serious.
"He won't do anything we taught him a lesson last time." she said.
"Well even so, I don't want you going out tonight." he said looking her in the eye.
"But, father."
" No buts." he said.
"Ok." she said crossing her fingers behind her back.
"Now let's go home. Your mother has dinner ready." said her father as he turned around.
As she followed, she made up her plan on getting out of the house that night.
After dinner Sapphire's parents went straight to bed. After a couple of minutes, she checked to se if they were asleep. When this was confirmed she snuck out of the door and ran all the way to the pub.
When she got there Gourry was sitting at the bar waiting for her. He stood up as she came into the door.
"Glad you could come." said Gourry.
"I almost didn't make it." she told him.
"Your father heard about Gaav?" he asked more seriously.
"Yeah. Do you think he will attack?" she asked.
"Maybe, but if he does I'll be ready for him." Gourry said standing up once more puffing out his chest.
"Oh really," said Sapphire laughing. "And I'll be right by your side.
They sat there and had a couple of ales.
"Do you remember that day I wanted to see you?" Gourry asked.
"Yeah." said Sapphire looking down into her glass.
"Why didn't you come to meet me?" he asked in a hurt way.
"Because. I knew you were leaving.and I just couldn't.." she said as she looked away, her voice trailing off.
He was shocked at how hesitant she was.
"I had something important to tell you that day." Gourry said continuing.
She looked at him and he saw the shimmer of her sapphire pale, blue eyes in the candlelight.
"What was it?" asked Sapphire.
"Well, I love you, Sapphire." he said taking her hands in his.
She couldn't believe the words she had just heard.
"I've loved since the first day I saw you. Do you remember that day in kindergarten, when that bully had pushed you into the mud and I came and beat him up? You were beautiful even that day when you were covered from head to toe in mud. It was on that day that I said that I would always protect you." He said gazing deep into her eyes.
Sapphire did remember that day, because it was also the day that she too feel in love with him. From that day forth he was always her knight in shining armor.
"I do remember." she said smiling.
"Then tell me you feel the same."
"I love you." she said.
Suddenly, a man burst through the door. He was breathing heavily as he tried to speak.
"He's.he's .coming.Gaav." he said as he collapsed onto the floor.
"Gaav." said Gourry through clenched teeth, his hand on his sword.
Then, he ran through the door to find Gaav and take him on.
"Gourry! Wait!" Sapphire cried as he disappeared behind the door.
