A/N: K'nnichiwa! I have a new tale to tell even though I should be working on my others....what are you gonna do? *someone holds a knife to Ruby's throat* well....that's one thing....*gulp*

D/C: Slayers is not mine. I don't own it but if I did....oh boy would we the fans have fun!



All good things must come to an end, don't they? It's the way of Chaos, isn't it? Just as horrible events finish, good ones will come out of their ashes. That's the cycle of Chaos. Everyone knows this, maybe it's deep down, in their subconsciousness where they have pushed it back, but everyone knows this fact wether they like it or not. So what happens after a 'happy ending' ?



It's nice to live a normal life, to give up adventure for a uneventful existence. Everyone craves rest at some point of their life, wether they be a Gold Dragon, human or even a mazoku. Some events however, can easily break peace and restore ones life to hell. This is so for one Gold Dragon...

Filia, ex-priestess, sat down at her dining room table with her usual cup of tea and a few sugar cookies. She nibbled lightly on a cookie as she looked out the window. Her adopted son, Val was to return soon from shopping like he did every Tuesday. He was all grown up now but had decided to stay to help his adoptive mother who was always proud of her son.

Val opened the door with a few bags in his slender, but quite strong hands and a few more laying at his feet. Her looked up at Filia and grinned. He had long green hair tied in a loose ponytail, his nice gold eyes showed compassion and respect for all other beings which was taught to him by his mother. He wore baggy pants and a long, over big t-shirt that covered his well defined muscles.

"Hey, mom, I got your groceries. I saw Hayashi-San at the store as well, she says hi and sends her best regards." Val to his mother as he brought in the bags. Filia got up and helped him.

"Ah, I hope she enjoyed the tea she bought the other day!" Filia said as she put away the items.

Val just shrugged. He the body of a 18 year old even if he was closely approaching his 50's. Her bushed back strands of his hair that flew in his face. Filia frowned like mothers usually do.

"You should really cut your hair Val! It's always getting in the way! At least if you tied it tighter it wouldn't be in your face all the time!" Filia raised a brow as to say 'I'm mother so I know what's best', Val just looked at her and shrugged once more.

"I like my hair like this. I'll deal with it when I think it's too long!" Val stated. Although he lived with his mother, he surely didn't need her to tell him everything.

"Do as you wish....Maybe one of these days I'll just go into your room as you sleep and snip all that hair!"

Val shrugged again. "I'll deal with that then."


This was the usual. Val was a good son as Filia was a good mother. They talked a lot. Mostly about little things that really didn't matter, like the hair or the tea, sometimes the subject of Val wanting to move out came up, but Filia reminded him that he needed money before he could get his own place. It was a simple life up until certain events and certain people showed their faces again.....All by pure accident, of course.


Another Tuesday, just like every Tuesday, Val went shopping for his mother. Of course, good things never last and this is where we meet virtuous end. On a Tuesday that should have been like every other, events made it the beginning of a new story.
