Opening: Slayers-4 the future

Chapter 25

Zelanna woke up on a medical bed in Saillune. She tried to sit up, but she felt a hand on her shoulder. Zelanna looked up to see Fillos.

"Don't try to get up Zelanna. You're still a bit weak from that wound you had" explained Fillos. Zelanna lied back down and looked at him.

"How long have I been knocked out?" asked Zelanna.

"It's been four days since the battle. I'm just glad that you're okay" replied Fillos.

"Wow. That's a long time" exclaimed Zelanna.

"Yeah, you should be able to get up when it's time for dinner" smiled Fillos. Zelanna smiled back as they continued chatting.

Zelanna, Fillos, Henry, and Crystal were in the garden after dinner.

"I can't believe that the whole thing's over" exclaimed Henry.

"Yeah" agreed Crystal.

"Phil will be living here now that everyone knows that he's alive" exclaimed Zelanna.

"You should stay here to Zelanna. I'm sure that the library has useful information for your cure" exclaimed Fillos.

"I can't. I think I found some leads in Logardo's laboratory before. I'll be leaving tomorrow morning" explained Zelanna.

"Sister, I just got you back!" shouted Henry.

"I'm sorry, but I have to get my body back to normal. I'll visit sometimes okay?" exclaimed Zelanna.

"How about you visit on your birthday, you need to celebrate somehow" smiled Fillos.

"That's in three months" stated Zelanna.

"I know, the sooner we see you the better" smiled Fillos.

"Please sister! Please come here for your birthday!" pleaded Henry. Zelanna sighed as she saw her brother's face.

"Alright, I'll see what I can do" sighed Zelanna.

"Thank you sister!" smiled Henry, hugging her. Zelanna hugged back and Fillos smiled.

"Hey Zelanna, I have something to give you in the morning before you go" exclaimed Fillos.

"Uh…okay" stated Zelanna.

"I hope he finally tells Zelanna his feelings, or I'll just fireball him" exclaimed Lina.

"How can he tell her when she's dead?" asked Amelia, confused.

"Oh sorry, it's just that Zel's name sounds similar" explained Lina, sweat dropping.

"Sounds a bit odd to me, I've been wondering about her since we defeated Shadrindan" exclaimed Zelgadis.

"You're just thinking too much Zelgadis" smiled Lina.

"I hope so" stated Zelgadis.

It was morning and Zelanna began to pack what she needed. There was a knock on the door and she looked at it.

"Who's there?" asked Zelanna.

"It's Fillos" replied Fillos.

"Come in" stated Zelanna. Fillos came in with a box in his hand.

"I told you that I would be giving you something before you left. Here it is" smiled Fillos.

"What is it" asked Zelanna, curious. Fillos walked toward her and held her hand.

"When I found out that you're alive, I felt so happy. I felt that we would be together like in the castle, but recently I've been feeling much more for you. This is the time to ask the big question" explained Fillos. He bent down to one knee and held up the box.

'Is he asking what I think he is?' Zelanna thought, blushing.

"Zelanna…" stated Fillos. He opened the box to reveal a ring with a sapphire jewel in it. "Will you marry me?" asked Fillos. Zelanna placed a hand over her mouth, shocked.

"Fillos…" stated Zelanna, removing her hand from her mouth.

"I just want to propose to you before you leave. I love you" exclaimed Fillos. Zelanna smiled and looked at him.

"Yes! I will!" smiled Zelanna. Fillos stood up and took the ring out of the box. He slid it on her rocky finger and it was on part of the fingerless glove. Their faces got closer and their lips connected. Zelanna placed her arms around his neck and Fillos placed is arms around her waist.

They parted after a minute and looked at each other.

"Have a safe journey my love" smiled Fillos.

"I will" stated Zelanna. She picked up her bag and headed toward the door. She stopped and looked at Fillos. "Tell the others I said Goodbye" exclaimed Zelanna.

"Alright, I love you" stated Fillos.

"I love you to" smiled Zelanna. She left the room and Fillos was sad that she had to go. Lina came in and hugged him.

"You proposed to her! It's about damn time to!" shouted Lina.

"I know. We're keeping it a secret for now though" exclaimed Fillos.

"Don't worry. I won't tell anyone" exclaimed Lina, winking at him. Fillos smiled and they walked out of the room.

Zelanna began to walk through the forest. She looked at the ring on her finger and smiled.

'It's time to go to my first lead for a cure. Once I find my cure, Fillos and I have the ceremony' Zelanna thought. She continued to walk through the forest to get to her destination.
