Author's Notes: Ho-kay, this is the second fic I've ever posted to ff.net. I realize it has many problems. R+R if you want to help me figure out exactly what they are. Oh yeah, this has minor spoilers for episode (I think) 9. It's Lina POV.
Thanks for reading. Written October 11, 2001.

GOLDEN
Gold. All around me... I see in shades of gold. Even Shaburanigdo is washed in the brilliant color, which blocks all other hues from my vision.
Ruby Eye Shaburanigdo. He walks the earth again. Thanks a lot, Red Priest. And *I'm* the one who has to fight him for the world.
I've never been so angry in my life. It's not the kind of anger I feel when that jellyfish-brain makes fun of my figure, but the kind that freezes the heart and makes a person deadly. It *is* a useful emotion now. That one-percent chance of victory has become one hundred. I can't fail.
Because I refuse to. Right here, right now, my will alone is enough to change history.
"Darkness beyond blackness / Deeper than the deepest night."
Willpower is everything. Of course, a means of channeling your determination is every bit as important, but intent is so vital to action. A carelessly-cast Dragu Slave has much less power than one that is focused.
And what I'm calling down is no mere Dragu Slave.
"King of darkness, who shines / Like gold upon the Sea of Chaos."
I can hear it now. That beautiful voice, the one which speaks in my dreams. That power. I know it's Her.
I've only cast this spell once in my entire life. The first time was almost a year ago. Ever since that day, She has been with me, a brilliant golden goddess.
"I call upon Thee / I swear myself to Thee."
Yes, She is here. I actually feel Her presence now, like a mantle about my shoulders, endless power filling me... My mind, unable to process the amount of energy I'm about to unleash, tries to convince me that my skin is burning away. It's not painful, but a feeling of limits breached and flooded over.
"In Thy great name, may all before me be destroyed by the power You and I possess."
Gourry, Zel... If this doesn't work... If I hurt you... I'm sorry.
No. I'm not giving up. They won't die. I might, but the bright Lady with me says I won't, that I'm her Chosen one. Her daughter, Her friend, and Her champion all in one. I believe because I want to believe. I believe in my Goddess of Victory. My ace in the hole. My most secret of secrets...
"GIGA SLAVE!!"
