Chapter One



It was a beautiful morning in the royal city of Saillune. The breeze in the sky was just right and the birds were free to do as they wished in the skies. Merchants below on the streets were busy peddling their wares, trying to out sell each other in the friendly competition that is marketing. And inside the castle, the greatest tag-team duo of justice and peace were already up and ready for a new days work. Amelia Saillune, self- proclaimed hero of justice, was downstairs in the study researching other great hero's of the past. Deeply involved in her study, she did not notice her butler enter the room.

"Ahem, princess," he coughed politely. "There are two people here to see you." Amelia, who usually was very polite to her guests, would not be deterred in her mission to better her own heroism. With a wave of her hand, she said, "Could you please ask them to come back later? I'm really busy right now." "Yes, as you wish", and with that he turn and excused himself from the room.

"Now, where was I?" Amelia mused, "Oh, Clyde the Justice Bringer, what a pillar of justice and peace! What many adventures…….." Her thoughts were abruptly interrupted by loud voices coming from down stairs.

"What! She said come back??! Do you know that we have been traveling all morning? And to top it off I'm hungry! And you won't like me when I'm hungry!

That voice! "Miss Lina!" Amelia shouted, happy to see her friends again after such a long time, but scared half to death of what she might do to her poor butler.

When she made it down stairs, the butler was cowering in a corner, and Lina was were normal bright red and steam coming out of her head self. Gourry of course was standing looking lost as usual. Gourry spotted Amelia and yelled out, "Hey, Amelia, how are you doing?"

Amelia smiled to herself. "Gourry was always so simple. So easy to get along with too. Easier to some people she knew. "Miss Lina, Mr. Gourry, how are you two? I didn't know it was you guys. I'm sorry for getting you waiting.

Lina, who had cooled down somewhat, waved her hand in a dismissive manner. "Don't worry about that Amelia." She said. Amelia sighed a breath of relief before she was inches away from Lina's face. "Worry about getting me some FOOD!!!" Amelia could only smile as she pointed to the kitchen.

Lina promptly dropped Amelia in a heap and zoom in the direction of smoke, followed very closely by a streaking blond line. Amelia shook her head, trying hard not to laugh. Just like old times.

"A princess should not be seen sitting on the floor like that," came a cold voice. " It's very unladylike. Amelia brushed her self off and looked behind her. Standing in the entrance of the castle was a figure cloaked from head to toe. "Mr. Zelgadiss" she breathed. As he slowly walked towards her, feelings came flooding back to her.

"How are you doing, Amelia?" he asked, professional as always. "I'm fine." She stammered. She didn't know what else to say, so she asked: "Do you want some tea?"
