Chaos Girl

Chapter 2

What's Under the Mask of the Trickster?

Xellos had just gotten back from his mission. He was tried as hell, he stopped, wait he was tried as hell? Well did that come from? He was never tried, not in all of his years as a monster, especially working as a monster under Beastmaster Zelas, even more when he is her Priest and General.

L-Sama just thinking about all of that stuff just gave him a headache.

He stopped right outside of his Master's Chambers. He had to go in there and tell her about everything. He loved his job, but why was it sometimes, not very much but still sometimes it was such a drag?

He heard a noise and stopped, there was voices coming from inside his Master's Chambers. He knocked and heard her voice say come in. He was wondering why there was someone inside here and this dead of the night.

He never got to find out his answer when he saw who was in there with his Master.

He was so shocked beyond relief or was it belief? Little sayings like that he forgot. He was so shocked that his mask had slipped and it showed.

Beastmaster Zelas looked at her servant and saw what she didn't believe she saw. This boy's mask had slipped, not once even when the most dire situations he never showed what he was really thinking or feeling, now he did.

Xellos, a perfect warrior who never showed anyone or anything what he was thinking or feeling, was doing so now. Xellos was a trickster, no one could ever tell why he did the things he did or anything. That is why he was perfect and mysterious.

Xellos, no one ever prepared him for what he saw, no amount of training could ever prepare anyone for this. Xellos got control over himself and looked at his Master, and started to give his report.

"My Lord Beastmaster, I did as you told me too, I followed him as you requested…"

Beastmaster Zelas tilted her head to the side and said "but?"

Xellos looked uncomfortable, he had NEVER failed in a mission, if his Master told him to do something he did, but this time he could tell was different.

He looked at her and said "I'm sorry my Lord but there was a problem, I was tracking and found the target but there was a power surge near by, it was really close to the target, and after it was felt the target ran."

He stopped didn't know if he could go on.

Zelas looked at him, she was a little annoyed, and Xellos had never failed her why now? She looked at him and said "and?"

Xellos had his mask back on perfectly, and continued "I didn't follow, I went toward the source of the power surge and …"

He stopped didn't go on, Zelas was a little more annoyed at this and said to him "Continue and don't stop again till you are done, Xellos what has gotten into you?"

He did not answer the question but continue with the report.

"I find the source and" he looked right at Beastmaster Zelas' guest and said "that was the source"

He pointed like a little child, and the one he pointed at laughed or was it a giggle?

Beastmaster Zelas looked between them and said to her guest, "You were using 'them' again weren't you?"

She tried to looked like she was scolding, but it didn't work, the guest looked at her and said "giggle, this is not the time to play mother on me Zelas."

Xellos was surprised that she had used his Master's first name only. No one ever did that.

The girl looked at him and said to Zelas "sigh, no I wasn't using 'them'; now shh, I have to get back, maybe when I get finished I can get some rest, bye."

She was about to leave when Zelas said casually, with a little annoyance in there too, "How long now has it been since you last slept?"

The guest looked at her and said "Long enough not to know what a bed looks like anymore. It's been a little over a month, but hey work is work it needs to be done."

She was gone a second after she said that. Xellos looked from where she disappeared then to his Master. His Master's head was hung down like she was exhausted, she shook it and sighed and mutters, "That girl's going to be the death of me."

Zelas looked at Xellos and said "You look like hell, probably feel like it too, now Xellos get some rest then get back to that village, I think that target will be back there."

Xellos was about to leave when he asked, "You think My Lord?"

Zelas laughed and answered her priest/general with a grin, "That girl you just saw now, she told me after I asked her where the target was located, she is good with tracking."

With that Xellos left the Master's Chambers and went to his own and thought before he hit the pillow.

'Who is she?'
