Flashbacks…
A little girl and a little boy were playing together in a grassy
field. The girl was about 2 and the boy was about 3. Both were very cheerful
and were running around the field playing some form of tag. In the background
we see several people, however they are blurry so it's hard to tell who they
are. However they all had grim looks on their faces.
End of Flashback
"Lina…Oi Lina!! Wake up!!" shouted a voice.
Lina squirmed. "Dad…15 more minutes…" she mumbled sleepily.
"Nani?" Lina realized then that it wasn't her Dad. In fact it
was the voice that belonged to a bewildered Xelloss.
Lina suddenly got up and was sitting on the ground. She rubbed
her eyes and look around. "Gomen Xel, I thought I was at home."
Xelloss was about to say something but Filia interrupted.
"Hahahaha! Xelloss you should be insulted, for she thought you
were waaay older than the age you are now! You damn deserved it!"
"Filia-chan!" whined Xelloss, "That's not fair!"
She snorted. "Life's not fair buddy!"
Lina and everyone else rolled their eyes at the familiar
argument.
Lina looked around the surrounding they were in. Where the
fuck are we? This sure doesn't look like home…this looks more like Yellowstone
National Park rather than home. Also what the hell was that flashback? Who are
those people?
"Where are we?" asked Filia.
"Dunno," said Zel. He was holding the jewelries in his hands. He
turned to Lina and handed her necklace back to her. "Here. This is yours after
all."
"Arigato." Lina accepted the necklace and put it around her
neck.
Xelloss meanwhile was walking around the area. After a few
minutes of scouting around he came back to the group.
"I see a path. Let's follow it!" said Xelloss cheerfully.
"What if it leads to something bad?" asked Amelia tearfully.
"What could be there? Maybe couple bears, and other wild
animals, but nothing to dangerous." Xelloss said.
"Yeah. He's probably right. Come on don't be a scaredy cat!"
Lina said. She started walking ahead.
"Me?? Scared?? I don't think so!" With that Filia followed Lina,
with Xelloss tagging behind.
Gourry and Sylphiel just shrugged. They were next. Amelia and
Valgaav came too. Only Zel was still there looking around. I got a very bad
feeling about this… With that he
followed his friends.
"So Lina…what happened with the
jewelries?" asked Sylphiel.
"How the hell am I supposed to know?"
"Hey you guys, move it! Action now, questions
later!" said Xelloss.
Zel sighed. What had happened?
The entire gang walked in silence for the next hour. Occasional
disagreement would rise up between Filia and Xelloss, while Lina would be
hitting Gourry for being dumb. Zel just sighed. The rest of the gangs just had
the occasional sweat drops.
All of the sudden they heard something rustle in the bush.
"Halt! Who goes there?" asked Zelgadiss like one of those corny
guards.
"Ne Zel, you sounded like those guards at Buckingham Palace,"
Lina commented.
Zel blushed. "Shut up!" Zel faced the bushes as well as everyone
else.
A boy came out, dressed ragged clothes. He had dark brown hair
with bright blue eyes. He looked at them intently while the gang looked at him
back.
He spoke, "Who are you all?" He said this politely, with an
English accent.
"Sore wa Himitsu Desu!" …guess who said that people.
Everyone but the guy and Xelloss fell over.
The guy just gave them a weird look and looked confuse. "Excuse
me, are you from around here?"
"Ano…where are we?" asked Valgaav.
"You are near Zefillia."
Everyone stared. "Are we on Earth?" Amelia asked timidly.
"Earth? You mean that blue planet that we can see in the sky at
night?"
Everyone just looked at each other. "Planet? Are we on another planet??"
Lina demanded.
"Well you are standing on the planet of Chasonio…" the guy
trailed off.
This time the gang looked confuse. "Chasonio?" Zel muttered.
"Never heard of it."
"By they way who are you?" Lina asked.
"Oh me? My name is Tobias. And who might you people be?"
A round of introduction went through and they explained what
happened.
Tobias perked up when they said that they were from Earth. "Oh
really? Earth…"
"Yeah…yo Tobias. How about taking us to a place to eat. I'm
hungry," Lina suggested.
"Me too," everyone else agreed.
Tobias looked up. "Well then! Come along to Zefillia! You are
welcomed to my home! And while we are there, maybe we could go see the King and
Queen there to see if they know anything about it." Tobias looked the ring on
Zel's finger and the necklace on Lina.
"Ok! FOOD!"
They all
continued their journey to Zefillia which was a day journey~
