"Water! I need water!" panted Lina.
"I'm sorry. A stream should be coming up soon. We can camp over
there for the night," said Tobias.
"So Tobias. What can you tell us more about Chasonio?" asked
Xelloss with his arms around Filia to annoy her.
"Xelloss…" Filia
said dangerously. Also red in face.
"I take it you
two are lovers?" Tobias asked innocently.
Filia loomed up
in front of him. "Lo-Lo-LOVERS???!!!" she sputtered. "Me and that Namagomi?? I
don't think so!"
Tobias sweat
dropped. "I'm sorry."
Filia stomped
ahead of the group mumbling stuff about Xelloss and stuff.
"So as you were
saying? You wanted to know more about Chasonio?" Tobias said after a few
minutes of silence.
Everyone nodded.
Zel meanwhile was staring into space.
Flashback
"Mama…papa…"
said a little toddler in a baby voice.
A man picked him
up and showed him the area around him. "This is your land…"
End of
Flashback
"Oi
Zel? Zel? Daijoubu?" asked Lina.
Zel
shooked his head. "Huh?" He looked around and saw the gang looking at him with
concerned.
"Sorry.
Just phased out for a min." What the fuck was that?
"As
I was saying…Chasonio is a very small planet. It's hidden from earth by magic.
Everyone on this planet knows how to use some forms and levels of magic. But
the higher social class you are in, the better magic and the more variety you
know."
"Tobias,
what social class you in?" asked Amelia.
"Oh me? I'm just
a lowly peasant." He gave them a faint smile. "But I know enough to survive out
in the forests and all."
"I see. Can you
tell us the history of your planet?" asked Sylphiel politely.
"Chasonio
reached its peace 15 years ago. Zelas, who's the most powerful sorceress in the
world wanted to take over the planet. But for some reasons she disappeared one
day saying that the obstacles are out of her reach now and that she will wait
for them to come back." Tobias explained.
"Huh? What
obstacles? Shouldn't she be happy that they are gone for those obstacles
wouldn't be in her ways?" asked Gourry.
"Till this day,
no one knows what these obstacles might be."
"Interesting. So
does anyone one know where she is right now?" asked Zel.
"No one knows
that either. But who knows. She may reappear again one day deciding to conquer
this planet again."
"You guys got a
weird planet…magic? Kinda hard to imagine." Lina commented.
Tobias just
shrugged. Soon they came upon a stream. It was crystal clear. The gangs haven't
seen clean water in their whole life. After a few minutes of the staring they
all bent over to get generous amount of water.
"Ah!!! Never
tasted water that good and is it me that the cleaner the water it is, the more
yummier they are?" Lina commented still getting gulps of it.
"I agree with
you. Good water." Valgaav got up and wiped his mouth with the back of his
hands.
"Shall we get
settled?" asked Xelloss.
After about 30
minutes of getting this and getting that, the whole gang plus Tobias was all
ready to relax. They even had a fire going thanks to Tobias and his magic. By
then it would have been around 10 o' clock on Earth standard time.
"Wow…the earth
is so pretty." Amelia had a faraway look in her face.
Everyone nodded.
"It is pretty," Zel agreed. But not as pretty as someone near me. Zel
looked toward Lina's direction.
"Hey who's up to
some Truth, Dare, or Double Dare?" asked Val with a little evil grin on his
face.
"Me!" everyone
shouted. Amelia explained the game to Tobias.
"Ok…do you guys
mind if I go first?" asked Valgaav with a hopeful look on his face.
"Nah."
"Ok. Oi Xel!"
Val nodded toward him. "Dare or Double Dare?"
"Double Dare."
Val grinned at
him silly. "Ok…I double dare you to kiss my wonderful sister on the lips!!"
"WHAT!!!!! VALGAAV
YOU TRAITOR!!!!!!!"
"Ne sis…are you
running away from it? I thought you had more guts than that."
"OOOOOOH! You
sure know how to get me!" Filia growled.
"Of course!
Xelloss you better do it!" Valgaav said happily.
Xelloss looked
contented about it. He leaned over and gently kiss Filia on the lips.
"There, there."
Val patted his sister on the back. "That wasn't bad now was it?"
Filia was fuming
and unfortunately Val was sent flying up into the night sky and we all could
hear a "Itai!!!!!" soaring through, what was a calm night.
Xelloss rubbed
his hands together. "My turn!" He looked at Lina and Zel. "Zelly-kun. Dare or
Double Dare?"
Zel so did not
like that look in the namagomi's eyes. "…Double Dare…" he said hestitantly.
"Ok! I double
dare you to kiss Lina fully on the lips with some tongues in it!"
The whole gang
blushed bright red, while Lina was busy stuffing her feet into his face.
"WHAT IS THIS?
MAKE THE GIRLS EMBARASSED AND FURIOUS DAY?" Lina demanded.
"Ne Lina-chan!
That hurt! Fine no tongues! Satisfied? Just kiss her on the lips!" Xelloss
whimpered.
Zel was not
happy. Never trust him again! Zel walked over to Lina. He gently cupped
her face with his hands and leaned over and kissed her tenderly on the lips.
Lina was
shocked. Ohmigod! He's actually doing it! He…he…He's a nice kisser!
They parted very
soon and turned around and gave Xelloss a dirty look.
"Now now! Don't
get mad! I know you guys enjoyed that! Don't deny it!"
"Shut the fuck
up Xelloss!" Both Lina and Zel shouted.
"Man man! People
are touchy tonight!"
"Hey guys. Lets
hit the sacks tonight. Sylphiel is zonked out." Gourry suggested.
"I'm up for some
shut eyes too." Val stood up and stretched his sore body.
Everyone got to
their spot and got comfortable.
"Good night
everyone!" shouted a cheerful Xelloss.
8 people threw
their shoes at Xelloss and all was quiet again.
