Hi everyone! This is chapter 3! Hope you like.... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE R+R! Otherwise I'll cry!

"Grrr, that nerve of that guy! I should have just horned him, Right up his regal Butt!" Lina grumped as she trotted along in the unicorn trot. She didn't even know that she left Xellos behind... about 7 miles back. She was ranting WAY too much to notice anyway. Looking into the sky, she stopped, and glared at the circling speck.

"WHY I OUGHTA.... JUST because he is a lord and has a lot of power doesn't mean he can tease me, the favorite daughter of the most POWERFUL Herd stallion, around like that!" And with that she tooted an insult so loud that even Xellos, 7 miles away, heard it loud and clear.

"Oi, Lina!" A voice yelled from the forest. Lina turned her head to see a Dragon, about 20 years old, but as dumb as a rock, walk out. 'This is JUST what I need, Gourry to comment something about my size...though there is something ODD about him today. There's some intelligent spark in his eyes... must be my imagination...' Lina thought, and began to trot away, when the panting howl of Xellos rang through the air.

*LINA-CHAN! WAIT FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* Xellos bellowed, forcing Lina to stop. She snorted a jet of fire before turning, only to see the smirking face of Zelgadiss near her as the illusion spell disbanded.

"YOU!" She cried outraged. She leapt forward, intending on impaling him, only to find that a Lavender Unicorn had parried her thrust. Leaping back, she blinked, and realized something, HE HAD COPIED HER SPELL!

"Why you..." She snorted.

"Oh well... Your searching for the Dewstar aren't you?" Zelgadiss simply stated, turning human.

"WHO'D LIKE TO KNOW?" Lina spat back, her eyes turning a bit crimson as she transformed into her spunky human self.

"Because anyone who goes after it for power is a fool. That's it's isn't it?" Zelgadiss glared at her, causing her to back off.

"It's... It's not that..." Lina trailed off. She Suddenly went quiet as she backed into a tree.

"Then WHY? Don't make MY quest any harder then it is!" Zel growled.

"YOU'RE looking for it too? Then there is NO WAY I'm gonna let you win! *FIREBALL! *" The flame nearly hit Zelgadiss, if it wasn't for his super fast speed. 'A Unicorn of the high order... Figures. I guess I can't go easy this time...' Zel thought as runes flashed through his mind, "*Elmekia Lance!*"

"OW! That smarts..." Lina staggered a bit from the blast and leapt away from another lance like spear of astral energy. "*Flare Lance!*"

'Fire based spells... then...' "I'll end this right now.... *Flare Web! *" And Zelgadiss' spell entrapped Lina in a cage of ice.

"You..." Lina seethed in anger.

"Now, tell me WHY you're after the Dewstar... Or else..." Zelgadiss' smile was NOT friendly.

"No Way!", Lina yelled outraged, catching Zel off guard, " You can't hold me! *Burst FLARE*!!!!" And the 4 talismans on her arms, belt, and cape collar glew red and the new blew up, so did Zelgadiss, and about 7 miles of wood.

"Lina-chan, some pervert again?" Xellos commented as the last of the fires went out with 1 handy Aqua create spell, compliments of Lina.

"Worse, a stuck up jerk...whoissortacutebutisamajorpaininthebehind." Lina said the last part quickly, and started to walk away.

"What?" And Xellos ran after her.

"Now that's what I call a blast." Zelgadiss grumbled as he got up. Flying back to the once there wood, he landed, only to find a single chip of rock and dirt.

"VERY good spell caster though...VERY unpredictable... too bad..." and then a bolder that was uprooted and blasted into the air hit Zelgadiss smack on the head, making a BIG lump.

"That no good little"

"ACHOOOOOOOO!" Lina sneezed. 'Someone must be talking behind my back. Wonder who?'
