Amelia smiled at the opportunity to be alone with Mr. Zelgadis. With Miss. Lina and Mr. Gourry occupied with each other and Miss Filia check on her egg now seemed to be the perfect time to tell him. "Mr. Zelgadis I'm so glad you came back like you promised you would…" She blushed and her grip tightened around his arm as the continued to walk towards the library. "ummm Mr. Zelgadis … I…I…"
"Miss Amelia!! H…he…he's gone!" Filia teleported in her eyes swollen from crying, her faced almost aged from worry and her hair and clothes ruffled as though she had been running.
Amelia quickly let go of Zelgadis's arm and both ran to Filia's side as Filia collapsed to her knees. "Who's gone Filia-san?"
"V…Valteria" "H…His egg is g…g…g…goooooone!!!" Filia wailed and clung to Amelia crying. The sound of the dragon's bawling was enough to sober up the drunken sorceress down the hall.
"GOURRY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!!" "FIREBALL!!!!"
Gourry ran down the hall a very angry Lina on his heels stopping only when he saw Filia crying. His sudden halt caused Lina to crash into him but instead of pounding Gourry, Lina dropped down to her knees and asked Amelia what happened.
"Don't worry Filia!" Lina said giving a smile. "We'll find Val's egg no sweat and when we find whoever took him…" She gave an evil grin and held her hands close together as though she were preparing a fireball. "okay?" she gave a cute smile and Filia couldn't help but nod.
One hour later in a certain someone's under sea fort…
Dolphin smiled and held the egg gently. She hummed and seemed even more cheerful than normal which frightened the poor servants. Keeping the ancient dragon to be with her had a number of possibilities. She started listing them off in her head but decided to do nothing more than continue to play her current game. "Niliana…come." A Fish woman with golden scales on most of her body except for a long streak of blue scales that stretched along her back from head to the beginning of her tail walked in to the room and bowed to her mistress. "I have a message I need you to deliver. I need you to find this human." A small water sphere formed in her hand and slowly changed it's shape to form a small framed girl with flowing hair wearing a sorceress' outfit. "As soon as you find her deliver the message but be careful, servants with powers like yours are annoying to create." Niliana bowed and vanished. Dolphin's laughter rang across the underwater palace causing the other fish-people to shiver.
Two hours later somewhere in an ocean near Seiruune…
A small gold fish swam as quickly as it could but fell prey to a larger fish. The larger fish seemed please until it came across a hungry fish that was even larger than it. That fish managed to get caught in a net it's gold and blue scales shining brilliantly as it was hauled up out of the water and brought to the docks barley but still alive. A figure small scrawny figure caught it's eye. The fish flipped twice before disappearing leaving five very confused fishermen behind.
Lina walked past the docks with Amelia she had no idea what to do. If Val's egg went missing now of all times than there could be trouble. "Hey Miss-Lina do you think that Val's egg going missing could have something to do with the fact he's almost hatched?" Amelia had a point, which seemed almost as scary as Gourry having a point.
"There's a chance that the monster race could be involved." Lina sighed. "The best one to ask about that would be Xellos but he's not coming out." She rubbed her hands through her hair frustrated. "OOOOH Why can't he be here when we NEED him!" Amelia just sweat-dropped at the outburst. "When I get my hands on the monster that did this I'll…" She made a punching motion and felt it connect with flesh. A strange girl with pale skin and long baby blue hair held her stomach in front of Lina and Amelia.
"Ohhhhh miss Lina how could you do such a thing!" Amelia bent down to see if the girl was okay then turned to Lina. "you have to learn to be more careful!" she looked back at the girl "Are you ok?"
"D…did you say Lina?" the girl coughed gently then stood facing Lina. "Are you Lina Inverse?" Lina sighed it seems her reputation preceded her yet again. She nodded. The girl gently dusted off her long golden sari. "I have a message for you…" She handed Lina the message than disappeared before Lina could ask who it was from.
"Miss Lina she's a…" Amelia started.
"Yup…" Lina sighed. "Looks like I was right…" This was going to end badly she just knew it.
