Prologue

Xellos was many things. He was on of the most powerful Mazoku, being the only one to hold the title of both: priest and general, as well as being Beastmaster's right hand man.

Fellow Mazoku would tremble at his sight. And he likes it. No, he loves it. The fear, the desperation. It was so easy to feed of this emotions that truth be told, he found it to be rather... boring.

Playing mind games with his prey did give him a new way to pass the time. But since his targets were always Mazoku who had betrayed his master, or some human who happened to be in possession of a powerful relic of some sort, the games were to easy and rather short. No one played to long with him because they were either weak or feared him to much to play along and that made his games dull.

But when he had met Lina and her companions, well, lets just say he wanted to get on his knees and thank every deity in existence for their creation. They provided him with the sort of amusement that you never tired of. They didn't fear him even if the knew who and what he was. They were always cautious and suspicious of him but that was it. What he found most fascinating about them, was that even if the knew he was using them, they would always play along to see what happened.

To sum it up, Xellos lived for the thrill he got when manipulating his "toys" to do what he wanted and watch them think it was all their own idea. He loved how they all fell for his mind games and the emotions he fed of when they found out they had been fooled. Once again, in Linas case.

But if there was something that Xellos hated, it was when someone managed to play with his head. It almost never happened. And when it did, the one guilty wouldn't live to tell about it.


Please REVIEW!! But don't flame please. T.T
