Author:Saphyria This is a story post "Slayers-try" and it is focused on the pair Xellos-Filia and it is actually my very first fan fic.I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it; so this is the first chapter of my story.(disclaimer:I do not own the anime "Slayers" )

Chapter I

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a nice day at the shop,a quiet day,there were no customers.Sudenly,it stroke her,that pain,that awful pain in the heart.Filia put a hand to her chest.It was worst than ever.She knew she couldn't hide her suffering this time,no one else knew about this.Wouldn't want the boys to get worried.She had to get away,so she got out of the store and started running;good thing there weren't people on the street.She ran and ran,faster and faster and that pain just wouldn't stop,she felt she couldn't breath,but she kept running till she got out of town.She headed for the woods,where she would be alone.There she got it all out,a terrifying scream,a scream of pain and suffering,she couldn't keep quiet anymore.She had to let it all out and that she did,but the pain didn't go away;then she thought of something.Maybe in her dragon form she wouldn't suffer so much.Filia transformed and got into the sky,higher and higher,until she could reach the clouds,but that had no effect,it was getting worst,she couldn't handle it anymore,she was now falling and she couldn't do anything,she was falling from the sky and she could feel the cold air on her skin,and she had to think of something,yes,in her human form she could teleport to the ground,it would use all her power,but she would be safe;no use trying to land now as a dragon,she felt like she simply couldn't move,she couldn't use her body,but she could use her magic and that she did.She managed to trnsform,but that took all of her strenght,it was hopeless;no way she could teleport;she knew it was the end the only thought that came to her was why had she left the shop in the first place? Now Val's egg would be vulnerable,no,that wasn't true,his two loyal subordinates would take great care of him and they would protect him with their lives.And now she simply couldn't think anymore.For a moment Filia thought that the pain was gone,but she was wrong ,it was still there,then the pain got so hard,like a knife in her heart,and then,as fast as the pain grew,it simply disappeared.
