Everyone just stared at the newcomer. For a moment, they didn't know whether to ask questions or to draw their weapons and prepare to fight. Gourry decided to make the decision for the rest of the group.
"The Demon King of the North," he repeated. "Isn't he a bad guy or something?"
There was a loud thud as every fell to the floor in complete disbelief.
"Excuse my dimwitted partner," Lina started. "But if you are really a follower of Dynast Grauscherra, then why are you talking to us.
"I was told of your very business-like attitude when it came to mazoku. I was not disappointed. Maybe this little joint venture can work. My name is Kalyen. I am here to help you recover the Book of Thorn"
"Really?" Zelgadis questioned. "What happens if we refuse your request?"
"That would be so unfortunate." Kalyen stated simply. "If that is the case then you all will simply have to die." "If you accept then I will see you at the Castle of Vandoor. I believe that if I am to ask your help, I can at least give you a lead." And with that, she replaced her hood and left.
Amelia just stared blankly. "I-I-I-I was supposed to say something back there wasn't I?"
"We're all glad you didn't" Zelgadis muttered. "But that aside, Lina, D'Nar, what are we going to do about this?
"Well," D'Nar started. "I really wasn't expecting this but never the less, we are going to half to press on. She shouldn't be able to take us all on blow for blow. She might have back-up so I suggest that we tread softly. Lina?"
"Well for a lack of a better idea, I am inclined to agree with you on this one. To Castle of Vandoor!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
"Are we sure that we have to go in there?" Amelia asked.
The six were standing outside of the huge and gloomy Castle of Vandoor. The Castle's shadow nearly blocked up the noon sun.
"Yeah," Lina said as she grabbed the girl and started towards the door. "Just think about all the evil and injustice that you can undo." Lina touched the door, and it creaked opean. She stepped in.
"Looks like someone's waiting for us," Zelgadis acknowledge as he entered after her. He surveyed the inside. "There is someone here, but there is no sign of living."
"That means that they're dead, right?" Gourry asked.
"No," D 'Nar replied softly. "It just means that who ever is here, probably doesn't have any use for ever day things."
"My thoughts exactly," Zelgadiss confirmed as he started up the stairs. "Lets get the bottom of this."
At the top of the stairs there was a bright light that was shining behind a closed door. The group stopped behind Lina's hand.
"Here's the plan. If anything goes wrong, Amelia you cast "Barrier Shield." Gourry you do your thing with your sword, even though I don't know how effective that is going to be. She turned to D' Nar. "We really need to get him the Sword of Light back. What can you do?
"I can take care of my self." D' Nar replied.
"Filia, you can help out with "Flare Breath" to keep them at bay." Filia nodded her head in agreement.
"Well here goes nothing," Lina said as she pushed opened the door.
Before them, was a long empty hallway that had a beam that was shining at the end. The group dropped their defensive posture, when Lina let out a disappointed "This sucks."
As they neared the end of the hallway, a figure shimmered and appeared before them. Before they could do anything, the figure cleared out and stood Kalyen from the restaurant.
"Well I'm glad that you have decided to show up. I have been waiting for you."
"Why are you here, and want do you want with us?" Lina asked.
"I need to revive the Book of Thorn and to do that, I need you Miss. Lina Inverse. It won't take that long. Are you ready?"
Lina turned back to her friends. "Stick to the plan. I have to help her even though I don't want to." She turned back to Kalyen. "Let's do it."
"Good. It simple really. I just need you to step into the light with me. Take my hand."
Lina looked at her for a second, before consenting. Taking her hand, they both stepped into the shining light.
At first, Lina didn't feel anything. All of a sudden, a giant rush took her and she as though she was splitting apart from her head to her feet. Then it was over. Lina stepped weakly out of the light and feel to her knees.
Gourry was immediately at her side followed by Amelia was hurrying casting a healing spell.
"We thought that we lost you," Amelia explained. "You were in there for a long time."
"She didn't do anything did she?" D' Nar asked, not moving his focus for Kalyen. "She has the book."
Hearing that, Lina moved slowly to her feet. "We need that book." She tried to steady her voice.
"I'm sorry to hear that Miss Inverse. But this is my master's book, and......huh?" She looked down and the book was suddenly gone. "Where did it go?" She cried.
"Don't look at us, we don't have a clue." Lina told her.
All of a sudden there was a huge rumbling and a giant roar from down stairs.
"Um, everyone," Gourry said excitedly. "Looks like we have company!"
