Standard blah blah, I don't own Slayers just kinda
borrowing them for a bit.
Part one
Xellos sat on a tree branch watching his prey, purple eyes open fully with much concentration. He had a new task ahead of him, one that would not be easy. The objective was going to be far more difficult then and he had ever previously had. It required several components to even begin and then he prayed to L-sama that it did not fail.
Standing he left, he would gain nothing of just watching and waiting, now was the time to begin planning in other ways. He must find a wizard of power, one that would be suited to his needs and one that once it was over with he could easily kill. He would need the aid of white magic, the thought of this brought an ironic grin to his lips. White magic was not as holy as people thought in ways, it could be used to aid him just as long as what he used it for was in its own way good but yet at the same time twisted and warped.
Chuckling still he shook his head, first things the wizard. Tapping his finger to his chin a small evil smile came over his lips, there was one that Hellmaster often played with, pretended to be a boy and looking to learn magic. It was no secret this wizard had no morals and no care for justice, the perfect candidate. Fading away it was time to go and visit him.

Lina yawned, she had been sleeping but what woke her up she wasn't sure. She lay there looking at the stars before sitting up and reaching for the water bag. It had been a strange dream she was having, what she couldn't fully remember just the nagging feeling it left behind telling her life was about to change and it wasn't going to be small.
Looking around she saw Gourry still with her, still sleeping and still just as faith-full as a puppy. It had been well over 6 years in their time together, they had survived many things and still there was a large world out there for them to explore. She reached over and pulled his blanket over him more and sat watching him for a long time, she was getting older and so was he but yet the urge to keep going and keep adventuring was there.
Looking away she lay back down and sighed, there also came new urges inside of her, ones she never thought she would feel. The need, no that wasn't the correct word, the want to begin looking into settling down, to want to find a man to be with her for the rest of her life and to begin a new part of her life. The part though that makes her truly nervous is the need for that man to be Gourry..
Sighing she rolled over, maybe before dawn she could sleep. She was only going to upset herself if she kept thinking like this and it would be poor Gourry that would suffer for it. Still in her mind she wondered if Gourry would want to be with her in the same way or when it came down to starting a family life would he leave to go back to Sylphiel..

Korthoga sat reading a book on the ancient magics that had been long forgotten, the ones that most modern black magic were cast from. The book had been a gift from a most promising student, he often wondered where the boy went and how he had managed to get his hands on such a tome. It had taken him years to learn the runes it was wrote it and now that work fully paid off.
"Well well, finally managed to learn how to read that old thing I see" came the cheery voice of the Trickster Priest.
"What do you want Xellos, it has been long since I had any dealings with you or your kind." His voice was low and silky, a contrast to the fake innocence that answered him.
"Oh not much, just stopping in to say hello and that if your interest I have a job for you to do, one that I believe will be most rewarding."
"And what would the reward be" Korthoga couldn't't help but lean back and look at Xellos with mild curiosity. He wasn't an old man but he wasn't young either, all his adult life had been spent in this place of his. A shrine and study of the dark magics.
"Not much really, just the reward and the task are one in the same you see. My Master has come to the conclusion that Lina Inverse will never join our cause and frankly its becoming an annoyance. Her powers and talents you see are to much to waist by simply killing her so we want to.." He trailed off for a moment grinning like a mad hatter as the thoughts of how to phrase what he is to next say came to him. "simply put breed her."
A long pause hung in the air about the room as the mortal man looked at the unholy and then laughter was heard, a low calm chuckle that rose up and became a full deep, throaty laugh. "You want to breed her, like she was a prize mare?"
"Oh yes, for if any of her children have even a fourth of her power, then we could nurture it and make it grow into what we want. To shape and mold the innocence of youth, before the silly ideas of good are planted in it's head."
By now his laughter had calmed and stood walking around his study to look at Xellos fully "And why do you come to me with this?"
"You Sir are one of the strongest casters of black magic still alive, you have no problem stepping outside of the morals most men live by to get what you want. In our eyes you would make the perfect stud for that fiery mare" Xellos now took his turn to laugh as the man said nothing more but looked at him as he truly had lost his mind.
